[China Packaging News] the notice of the general office of the State Council on restricting the production and sale of plastic shopping bags, known as the "plastic restriction order", has been implemented for 10 years. In many places, the investigation found that in some large supermarkets, catering enterprises and other places, the paid use of environmental friendly plastic bags has been promoted, and unqualified plastic bags are difficult to find. However, in some small markets and shops, ultra-thin plastic bags and non degradable plastic bags are still the "protagonists" of packaging. The "plastic restriction order" and even the "plastic prohibition order" piloted in some areas are still difficult to fully promote and implement, and the public's use habits need to be improved

in Tianjin, Wuhan, Shijiazhuang, Changchun and other places, it is found that plastic restrictions are generally well implemented in large supermarkets, but plastic bags are still widely used in farmers' markets or small shops

in some large supermarkets where "environmental protection, lightweight and energy saving" have become a hot topic nowadays, it is found that substandard plastic bags and other products are difficult to be found, and they are replaced by charged biodegradable plastic bags. Some consumers will also buy reusable cloth bags or environmental protection bags of other materials

however, non degradable plastic bags and other products are still popular in farmers' markets, small shops and other places. In some local vegetable markets, plastic bags of various colors are widely used, and consumers do not need to pay extra for plastic "industry 4.0" to emphasize intelligent manufacturing, network manufacturing and digital manufacturing bags

"plastic limit order" has played a positive role in reducing white pollution and protecting the ecological environment. However, with the rapid development of some industries, the demand for plastic bags is still very strong

during lunch time, I saw in a restaurant in Nankai District, Tianjin that many takeout foods are packed in "one box, one bag", and when ordering multiple copies at the same time, they will also be covered with large-size outer packaging bags of varying quantities. Based on at least one plastic bag and one plastic lunch box for a take away, tens of millions or more plastic bags may be used every day in the country

the growing express industry is also a "big user" of plastic bags. Statistics show that there were about 6.8 billion express plastic bags in China in 2016. Wang Li, deputy dean of the school of resources and environmental engineering of Wuhan University of science and technology, said that although the shell of some express delivery enterprises is cartons, plastic bags, tape and so on are still widely used in cartons, and the packaging is mostly one-time packaging, which is difficult to effectively recycle. Relevant insiders pointed out that most of the plastic bags and related products used in express packaging are non degradable

in Hebei, Jilin, Hubei and other places, in recent years, a series of publicity related to plastic restrictions and prohibitions have been carried out, advocating that people use more environmental protection products such as vegetable baskets and cloth bags, and use less and no plastic bags, and giving corresponding punishment to those who produce and use unqualified plastic products. However, it is understood that the current "plastic limit order" still has a limited impact on the market, and the confidence to really tighten control is slightly insufficient

experts pointed out that at present, there are many advocacy and incentive measures on plastic limit, and there is a lack of strictly enforced relevant regulations, so the effect is difficult to guarantee. "The 'plastic restriction order' is very meaningful, but we should not only stay at the advocacy level, but also pay more attention to mandatory requirements. For example, we should further refine the relevant provisions from the level of laws and regulations, and clarify the punishment measures for violations of the corresponding provisions. The regulatory authorities should also step into the overview of the vibration test of electronic universal machine to strengthen supervision and inspection." Wang Li said
