What does the new "Plastics Ban" restrict?

I don't know if everyone is out for dinner during the weekend. Some careful friends may have found that many restaurants do not see disposable foamed plastic tableware and disposable plastic straws. So What does the new “Plastics Ban” restrict?

Since it is difficult to avoid some of the plastic waste from leaking into the natural environment, the state is the first to ban and restrict the use of disposable plastic products that are difficult to recycle and easy to leak. The relevant provisions in the "Opinions on Further Strengthening the Treatment of Plastic Pollution" published by the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment last year have been formally implemented on January 1, 2021, and there are new restrictions on disposable plastic products.

The new " Plastics Ban " includes: banning the production and sale of ultra-thin plastic shopping bags with a thickness of less than 0.025 mm, polyethylene agricultural mulch with a thickness of less than 0.01 mm, disposable plastic cotton swabs, disposable foamed plastic tableware, and intentional addition of plastic Micro-bead bath cosmetics and toothpaste and tooth powder.

It is forbidden to use non-degradable plastic bags in shopping malls, supermarkets, pharmacies, bookstores and other places in built-up areas of municipalities, provincial capitals, and cities under separate planning. However, it is not forbidden to roll bags, fresh-keeping bags, and garbage bags.

It is prohibited to use non-degradable disposable plastic knives, forks and spoons in catering services in built-up areas and scenic spots in cities above the prefecture level.

In the catering industry nationwide, the use of non-degradable disposable plastic straws is prohibited. However, the straws that come with the outer packaging bags of food such as milk and beverages are not forbidden.

One small step to change your habits is a big step for health and environmental protection. In our daily life, we should try not to use disposable plastic products.

It is recommended to use non-plastic products such as environmentally friendly cloth bags and paper bags; use degradable shopping bags; use bio-based products such as straw-coated lunch boxes that meet performance and food safety requirements; use cup lids with drinking spouts instead of "sippers + cup lids" Use a cup lid with a drinking spout instead of the “straw + cup lid” combination; use a bamboo spoon and other reusable tableware.
