Although the state has banned the production of foamed tableware, many of the lunch boxes sold on the market are still made of non-degradable foamed materials.
Recently, the reporter discovered at a wholesale market in Lize Bridge that the price of the disposable tableware sold here was below 0.10 yuan. The lunch boxes have no site, two have no production date, three have no approval numbers, and three products are not. The reporter claimed to be a buyer of a restaurant in Beijing and wanted to enter a batch of goods, but he felt that the three products could not be reassuring. A middle-aged man said: "The lunch box is cheap and hygienic. If it is labeled with environmental protection, it can be used as well." In the eastern suburbs wholesale market, the reporter found that here is also openly selling counterfeit green tableware. When the reporter proposed to buy a batch of disposable foam plastic tableware, the stall owner replied: "How much, how much."
At a small commodity wholesale market in Majiapu, South Third Ring Road, the reporter browsed several counters on the second floor for environmental protection tableware. He also asked for the price of the lunch box as a buyer and was told that the degradable environmental protection lunch box was the lowest The price is 0.14 yuan. The reporter said that the environmental protection lunch box was small in size and asked if there were any big ones. The operators whispered: “There are foamy volumes that are twice as large as the biodegradable lunch boxes.†The reporter asked how much the foam disposable lunch box was, the operator said. : "The lowest price of 0.12 yuan a, a 500." The reporter proposed to take a look at the sample, the operator said the goods outside, and told reporters that the industrial and commercial and quality inspection departments do not let sell, if you really want to buy, after a good price They send the goods again.
The reporter then investigated the roadside restaurants in some districts in Beijing and found that most of them used foamed plastic tableware that had been banned by the government. When interviewed by reporters at several mid-range restaurants, when they mentioned why they did not use environmentally-friendly lunch boxes, several restaurant owners had the same argument: the cost was too high to afford them.
During the interview, a business owner of a box lunch told reporters that the lunch boxes he used were all foamed materials. The cost was low and the capacity was large. A lunch box could be used to hold the food. If a biodegradable lunch box was used, The cost will be twice as expensive. So for profit, he chose a cheap non-environmental lunch box.
It is the drive of profits that makes non-environmentally friendly cutlery repeated. Even if the dealer's counter doesn't show up, it is often the case that there is a stock in the warehouse. As long as someone wants to talk about a good price in the market, they can trade outside the market and escape from investigation by law enforcement agencies. A business dealing in environmental protection tableware revealed that the relevant departments to check the foam tableware when the strict, environmentally friendly tableware like to sell a little, but the thunder of a thorough investigation, environmental protection tableware is no match for cheap foaming tableware.
The company’s decision to “environmentally friendly lunch boxes†has become a passive initiative, joining forces to “counterfeiting†and declaring war on “white pollutionâ€. According to its survey, the quality of disposable snack boxes sold by supermarkets is basically qualified; 60% to 70% of farmers' markets are unqualified.
Dong Jinshi, deputy director of the China Packaging Resources Comprehensive Utilization Committee, told reporters that non-foaming tableware circulating in the market today mainly uses polypropylene as the main material, and adds talc, calcium carbonate and plastic resins as filling masterbatch. This kind of material conforms to the standard, but because the cost of talcum powder is less than 5,000 yuan per ton for plastic resin, some manufacturers add talcum powder when making tableware, leading to severe excess of acetic acid residue. Excessive inhalation of acetic acid residue substances can cause gallstones and other diseases. In particular, direct extrusion of molded plastic products presents serious quality problems. As this type of product is produced by some small enterprises, blind fillers containing talc or calcium carbonate (some as high as 60%) are blindly used in the formulation of raw materials. There are serious acetic acid evaporation residues and excessive ethane evaporation residue problems. More than 150 times the national standard, it will cause serious health hazards, resulting in gallstones, heavy metal poisoning.
Recently, relevant departments conducted surveys on supermarkets, restaurants, farmers' markets, and fast food companies in eight urban areas in Beijing and found that small restaurants and farmers' markets on the street were the main distribution centers for substandard products. The farmers’ market requires about 2.5 million disposable snack boxes, trays and bowls every day, and about 50% of them do not meet the standards. Even more disturbing is that some products that do not meet the standard are sold under the banner of “environmental protection†and “degradable.â€
Deputy Director Dong told reporters last month that Beijing Tonghao Plastic Products Co., Ltd., Tianjin Yuxin Plastic Packaging Co., Ltd., and Beijing Zhengyao Gaopo Disposable Tableware Co., Ltd. formed a joint anti-counterfeiting team among more than 10 enterprises and industrial and commercial departments. In just one day, the company raided samples of 21 tableware companies in Beijing and the rest of the country. The sampled products reached more than 80% market share in the Beijing market, and spot checks basically covered various types of products on the Beijing market. Green tableware. The results of random inspections showed that the quality of disposable snack boxes sold by supermarkets was basically qualified; 60% to 70% of farmers' markets were unqualified.
In the Yuegezhuang wholesale market in Fengtai District of Beijing, dozens of disposable environmental protection lunch boxes were found to be mostly “three nos†products. It is understood that these products come from Hebei, Henan, Zhejiang, Hunan and other places. The quality of counterfeit products is inferior, and when they are touched, dregs are dropped and the smell is pungent. The price is about seven or eight minutes. Although some lunch boxes were marked with manufacturers, addresses, and telephones, the reporter dialed a few of the above telephone numbers and found that it was impossible to dial. It is understood that most of the vendors here do not know the manufacturer of the product because the goods are provided. Because these suppliers have no fixed business locations, it is more difficult to regulate the market.
Fortunately, disposable snack boxes sold in large supermarkets in Beijing are mostly marked with trademarks, factory sites, and telephones. At the Rixian Supermarket in Haidian District, after inspection, the products sold here were all manufactured by genuine manufacturers and there were no quality problems. No unqualified disposable lunch boxes were found in other large supermarkets.
According to reports, in order to change the passive situation, last year, nearly 20 environmental protection tableware companies in Beijing jointly launched a campaign against “white pollution†and agreed that Beijing Hyflux Environmental Protection Center is responsible for establishing a joint organization of environmental tableware companies in Beijing. This action was supported by the State Administration of Technical Supervision, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, and the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce. From March onwards, the environmental protection tableware companies jointly organize the clean-up and rectification of the member units, and send samples of the relevant companies to the national technical supervision department for testing after sealing the samples on the market, and help the units whose quality has been detected or sampled to be unqualified. For improvement, enterprises that refuse to cooperate will be removed from the list after discussion and decision by the member organizations of the organization, and announced through the media, newspapers, environmental protection tableware and other media.
Due to the chaos of the recycling of waste products and the lack of a clear policy in this area by the state, the “three non-products†that have never ceased to attract the market at a low price make it difficult for environmental protection companies to return to the market.
Faced with the secret sales channels of foamed tableware, the management of the market management personnel can not help but fatigue. How to eliminate the hidden trading of foamed tableware in the market? A person in charge of the Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau told the reporter that strengthening management is one aspect. On the other hand, while letting disposable foam plastic lunch box production enterprises stop production, it is necessary to promote environmental protection tableware production companies to “fill in†blanks. Avoid foaming tableware.
Deputy director Dong told reporters that after several years of inspection, finding environmentally friendly tableware that can replace foamed tableware has no technical problems, but due to the high cost of investment, the sales of environmentally friendly lunch boxes are not very good. Director Dong calculated an account for the reporter: investing about RMB 3 million in a small-scale production line for producing disposable foam plastic tableware and 80 million plastic lunch boxes annually; investing in a small-scale environmental protection tableware (degradable polypropylene tableware) production line about 80 Million, the annual output is between 4,000 and 50 million. Although the new environmental protection material equipment is lower than the foaming tableware, from the material point of view, the environmental protection tableware does not take any advantage: a foamed plastic lunch box only needs 5 grams of material, while the degradation of polypropylene tableware is required. 15 grams of material. The current market price of raw materials for the foam material (polystyrene) 9,000 yuan per ton; non-foaming material (polyphenylene) 8,000 yuan per ton. Taken together, the cost per material consumed for the degradable polypropylene environmental protection tableware is 2.7 times that of the foamed plastic tableware.
In an interview, the reporter learned that due to price issues, Beijing's production of "environmental friendly lunch boxes" has been closed down successively in recent years. Beijing Zhengyao Gaopo Disposable Tableware Co., Ltd. was established in 1999. The company originally produced disposable foam tableware. In the same year, the company issued the “ban orderâ€, the company converted, purchased 4 sets of environmental protection tableware equipment, production scale The tableware industry in Beijing is one of the best. What surprised the company was that after the production, the product was impacted by counterfeit dishes. Over the past few years, the company’s hard-selling sales channels have gradually shrunk. Xie Wenxiong, chairman of Beijing Tonghao Plastic Products Co., Ltd., said that there is no quality competition in the market. Only the price competition and the endless supply of 'three non-products' rush to the market. Environmental protection companies are powerless."
There are many environmental protection companies that have the same fate as Beijing Zhengyao Gaopo Disposable Tableware Co., Ltd. The reporter recently came to a Beijing Green Green Waste Plastic Recycling Company located in Majuqiao, Tongzhou, Beijing. The company that started recycling lunch boxes in 1998 to develop environmentally-friendly lunch boxes is now seen by reporters as fading doors, disorganized factories and rusty equipment. Face to face this situation, it is hard to believe that this is the largest waste recycling base in North China.
At the interview site, the reporter saw Mr. Dong, the original company chief responsible for the recycling of foamed cutlery, and he sensibly told reporters about the company's experience of prosperity:
In 1997, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Environmental Protection and the Bureau of Industry and Commerce jointly issued the “Notice on the Recycling of Discarded Disposable Plastic Meal Boxesâ€, requiring that units and individuals that produce and distribute disposable plastic boxes in Beijing must be responsible for themselves or entrust others Recycling of waste lunch boxes will be cancelled, otherwise it will be disqualified from producing and distributing disposable plastic lunch boxes in Beijing. The document requires that the recovery rate must reach 30% in 1988, 50% in 1999, and 60% in 2000.
This document in Beijing indicates that an opportunity has come. Some companies are optimistic about this market. Beijing Tonghao Plastic Products Co., Ltd., Tianjin Yuxin Plastic Packaging Co., Ltd., Beijing Zhengyao Gaopo Disposable Tableware Co., Ltd., and Beijing Yanqi Central Chemicals Co., Ltd., etc., shared a recovery fund according to their production capacity (before and after a total of 2000 yuan of input recovery funds) Millions of dollars), Beijing Green Green Plastic Recycling Co., Ltd. was established, and invested 5 million yuan to import cleaning, crushing and granulating equipment from the Taiwan region. Since September 1997, Beijing Kaifa Environmental Protection Center voluntarily assumed The public welfare work for recycling discarded foamed lunch boxes.
Recalling the splendid glory of the past, Mr. Dong was overwhelmed with emotion. At the time, discarded foamed lunch boxes not only achieved a higher percentage of recycling, but they were already 100% recycled. They set up 10 recycling stations in Beijing to pay for the recycling of discarded plastic lunch boxes. The discarded plastic lunch boxes have been transformed into treasures. They immediately turned waste into treasure in the eyes of a group of “broken kingsâ€. More than 1,000 people used it at that time. For the industry, where the highest monthly income amounts to several thousand yuan, and with the growth of discarded lunch boxes, the monthly recovery rate at the 10 recycling points also increases month by month, and the recovery volume is basically stable at around 150 tons. At the same time, the company’s first batch of recycled plastic pellets has been transformed into stationery, tape cassettes, and other products at plastic processing plants. Dong Jinshi, the person in charge of the plant, said: "At that time, our business was booming. Long queues of trucks were purchased by major plastics processing plants to buy plastic pellets. There were tens of thousands of yuan in revenue per month for selling plastic pellets."
However, because of the confusion in the recycling of waste products, the country did not
