'Limited plastic' | Legislation mandatory and economic means

Last week, a survey conducted by the China Youth Daily Social Survey Center's joint questionnaire network showed that 62.4% of respondents felt that people's awareness of 'plasticity' was higher than before, and 37.6% of respondents thought that they did not improve. In reducing the use of plastic bags, 77% of respondents admitted that their actions could not keep up with their awareness. Implementing the 'plastic limit order', 68.9% of respondents hope that the regulatory authorities are really strict, 40.6% of respondents Calling people to develop a good habit of bringing their own shopping bags.

Restricting plastics is a common topic. The above survey shows that more than 77% of respondents admit that their actions are not conscious, which can explain two problems: First, there is a high consensus on the necessity of plastic molding, which is mainly due to the fact that Common concerns about plastics polluting the environment; second, it is difficult to put into action, plastic products are everywhere in life, from commodity packaging to shopping bags, to disposable tableware, etc., closely linked to the consumption at the moment, forming a strong dependence Inertia, at the same time, it will also make people feel like a car.

The dependence of packaging on plastics lies in the cheapness of plastics. For example, disposable degradable shopping bags, small dots are also required to be five or six hairs, while non-degradable plastic bags are only two cents. The market is rational, Before the price difference of alternative environmental protection products has not been smoothed out, it is difficult for anyone to consciously choose environmentally friendly products, which leads to limited intervention in the circulation. The 'plastic limit order' has become a 'selling order' for ten years. The problem also occurs in the fast food industry. In order to control the pollution of take-away plastic packaging and lunch boxes, the platform introduced a packaging payment system. However, the price is only increased, and the plastic packaging has not been reduced. In this context, it is difficult for citizens to constrain themselves. Bringing quantitative changes, let alone achieving qualitative changes.

Therefore, the 'plastic limit order' should be upgraded to the 'restricted plastic method', which is mandatory by legislation to limit the plasticity of the plastics, and includes a restricted area for application areas including shopping bags, disposable lunch boxes, etc. At the same time, let the market problems be used in the market. The solution is to adjust the plastic-controlled plastics into the circular economy legislation, to support and use more economic means. For example, to increase the tax rate and rate of one-time non-degradable plastic products, and to implement policy subsidies for alternative environmental products. , tax incentives, etc., to promote the market for environmentally friendly products by economic means.
