A citizen prepares to use disposable tableware for food
The widespread use of disposable cutlery has brought a large amount of disposable tableware waste to the city every day, causing environmental and health problems.
At this year's two sessions of the National People's Congress, the representative of the National People's Congress from Hong Kong delegation and the vice chairman of the Hong Kong Cultural Promotion Association Ju Meiyun submitted the proposal of “Comprehensive Management gradually disable disposable utensils for beautiful China” (hereinafter referred to as 'recommendation'). .
The proposal points out that according to the current major network take-out platform 'U.S. Takeout', 'Hungry Mody' and 'Baidu Takeaway', each take-away order will only produce 1 disposable tableware, and these 3 platforms will generate 24 million times a day. Tableware. Together with disposable tableware produced by other take-away platforms, chain restaurants, snack bars, etc., China has become a major consumer of disposable tableware and supplies.
