According to media reports, the "Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Restricting the Use of Plastic Shopping Bags for Production and Sales" was published for nearly 10 years and this circular, known as the "plastic limit order," was effective in restricting and reducing the use of plastic bags. However, With the rapid development of industries such as take-out and express delivery in recent years, the effect of 'plastic limit order' has been gradually weakened.
Plastic limit order does have a positive effect in some areas.According to NDRC data released last year show that since the implementation of plastic limit, supermarkets, shopping malls generally reduce the use of plastic bags 2/3, a total reduction of 1.4 million tons of plastic bags , Equivalent to save 8.4 million tons of oil.However, in the small shops, snack shops, small department stores and farmers markets, bazaars and other places, still can be seen everywhere less than 0.025 mm thick ultra-thin plastic bags. With the courier , The rise of the take-away industry, ultra-thin plastic bags have spread to these areas.
Although the Plastic Limit Order specifies several regulatory responsibility departments, the end-of-sale or end-of-use is regulated mainly by the business sector or the market regulatory department. The end-of-sale points are wide ranging, the transaction volume is large, the manpower of the business administration or the market regulatory department is limited, and the regulatory process Will inevitably appear in loopholes, blind spots and weak links.
The author believes that the plastic limit can not put the main focus on the sales end of the plug, but should change their thinking and attention, aimed at the prospective three 'source'.
One is to plug the production of unqualified plastic bags source relative to the sales cycle, plastic bags less the number of production units is conducive to the relevant departments to focus on regulation.For formal manufacturers, the use of inspection, sampling can effectively contain For the more subtle black factory, black workshop, through the sales cycle Shunjiwuaqiucha, through comprehensive inspection, encourage reporting and other ways to collect clues, is not difficult to find traces of it, but once found black factory, black workshop Should be firmly banned in accordance with the law from the production chain grab the neck of unqualified plastic bags, the supply of unqualified plastic bags on the market, the regulatory effect will be more effective.
The second is to revitalize the supply of alternative packaging new sources.The government can tax incentives, subsidies, research and development funds and other policies to guide enterprises to speed up the development of environmentally friendly plastic bags and other emerging alternative packaging research and development and promotion, if the emerging alternative packaging economy, Affordable, convenient, naturally you can win the favor of the market and the public, with the power of the market will be able to achieve the effect of plastic limit.
Third, the source of unblocked education Although plastic limit has been 10 years, but many people still do not understand the meaning of plastic limit, do not know the plastic limit requirements and obligations.Governance is necessary to strengthen the plastic education of the public by a variety of ways, Extensive publicity plastic limit order to inform the public the importance of limited plastic as well as plastic targets, specific measures to enhance people's sense of plastic limit, so that people understand plastic limit, limit plastic limit, participate in limit plastic, encourage and guide people to the ultra-thin plastic Bag said 'no', choose to use energy saving packaging or shopping methods.Public the plastic limited awareness, be able to get involved, plastic limit will have the most solid foundation.
