Zhejiang: As soon as possible, the legal norms express package standard

On the afternoon of January 28, the NPC deputies attending the second meeting of the 13th National People's Congress of Zhejiang Province reviewed the government work report at the resident. Provincial People's Congress representative Cong Yanqing said that the law should be introduced as soon as possible to regulate the standard of express packaging boxes and minimize excessive packaging. To reduce pollution and achieve green environmental protection.

People who buy online have an impression, but the express parcels received by online shopping often contain a large amount of packaging materials. The carton is covered with layers of plastic film, and there are a large number of buffer bags and bubble bags inside the carton. In the end, with the purchase of online goods, they have become non-degradable waste. Even if it is a carton that can be recycled as waste paperboard, no one is willing to recycle because there is too much tape wrapped around it. According to statistics, in 2015, China's express delivery industry consumed at least 3 billion woven bags, 9.922 billion containers, and 16.985 billion meters of tape. The amount of tape alone is enough to orbit 425 laps of the Earth's equator. These express packagings are basically not made of degradable materials. In recent years, with the heat of take-out, plastic pollution is “a new level” because plastic lunch boxes and packing boxes are larger than plastic bags and more difficult to handle.

In fact, people are well aware of the dangers of plastic product pollution. Plastics are burned or buried to contaminate water and air. Even now, scientists have discovered that every sea fish eaten by the earth contains plastic particles. Reason tells us that the abuse of plastic products, the harm we finally harvest is far greater than the convenience of use. But the train of desire often does not stop because of reason, because the convenience temptation brought by plastic is too big, so we often hope that the advancement of technology, in order to achieve both fish and bear's paw, can be used without restriction. Plastic bags can not pollute the environment.

Want to crack plastic pollution, environmental technology must of course break through, the scientific community has been trying to do this. For example, degradable plastic bags, such as bubble plastics for shockproof, foreign manufacturers have produced paper balls that are easier to recycle, the raw materials are waste paper, and after being simply processed, they become spherical, and they have the functions of shockproof and reusable. Recyclable processing. However, the maturity and promotion of new technologies will take a long time, and there are also economic costs. For example, a non-degradable plastic bag is 8 cents, and a degradable plastic bag is 4 to 5 times more expensive. In addition, environmentally-friendly plastic bags under current technology require strict conditions to degrade, such as temperature, water content, specific reactors, etc., which are difficult to degrade in the natural environment. In fact, it is unrealistic to try to prevent plastic pollution through advances in technology in the short term. This has been proven in practice for decades.

Can rely on the power of morality to prevent the abuse of plastic packaging? The phenomenon that the use of plastic bags has not declined in the past decade or so shows that morality alone appeals to individuals to consciously solve problems. Morals without legal constraints are often built on sand dunes. The pavilion. To reduce and eliminate plastic pollution and achieve recycling, it is necessary to introduce laws to regulate the standards of express packaging boxes. For example, how to avoid excessive packaging. In packaging, environmentally-friendly and recyclable packaging materials should gradually reach a certain proportion. How to punish and so on, only rigid laws can make people make rational choices in front of the "fish" of personal convenience and the "bear paw" of the common interests of the public.

In Europe and the United States, some countries have adopted legal means to regulate the abuse of plastic products. In mid-May last year, the Vancouver City Council of Canada voted to pass the “2040 Zero Waste Program”. From June 1 this year, the city’s merchants were banned from distributing disposable plastic straws, foam cups and packed lunch boxes to customers. China's population density is much larger than these countries, and the environmental damage caused by plastic products should be much greater than them. Therefore, I feel that it is extremely urgent to introduce a rigid and standardized standard for express packaging.
