Plastic shopping bag in the daily lives of consumables, China's annual consumption of a large number of plastic shopping bags. Plastic shopping bags in convenience for consumers at the same time, because of excessive use and inadequate recycling and other reasons, also caused a serious waste of resources and serious environmental pollution. Especially ultra-thin plastic shopping bags easily damaged, most were discarded at will, become the main source of "white pollution". At present, more and more countries and regions have limited plastic shopping bag production, sale, use. In order to implement the scientific outlook on development, building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society, from the source to take strong measures, and urge enterprises to produce durable, easy recycling of plastic shopping bags, guide, encourage masses to rational use of plastic shopping bags, and promote comprehensive utilization of resources, protection of ecological environment, and further promote the work of energy-saving emission reduction.

The system measures

General Office of the State Council of China recently to the provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central People's government, ministries and commissions of the State Council, orgnaization of each directly under issued" restrictions on the production and sale of the use of plastic shopping bags.". The announcement points out, shopping bag has become the main source of "white pollution", the local people's governments, ministries and commissions should prohibit the production, sale, use of ultra-thin plastic shopping bags, and will implement the system of paid use of plastic shopping bags.

The domestic supermarket shopping malls actually have a brilliant future, design a new fashion of environmentally friendly package, leading an environmentally-friendly fashion wind.

Implementation method

Government to strengthen management, to implement the ban, and cultivate the public awareness of environmental protection, the research and development of plastic shopping bags can substitute.

Reduce costs for the implementation of environmental protection shopping bag

Want to make environmental protection shopping bag to carry out no longer difficult, should adopt a variety of forms and ways to strengthen propaganda. Not all citizens will specifically focus on media, like the Yu Fenghua of 73 years old old woman listening to field personnel after the presentation was surprised and said:" the original plastic bags so ' poison ', I didn't feel every day ... ... To use less!" Visible, the usual promotional or left corner.

Secondly, should reduce the use cost of" environmental protection bag". For the public, the use of" environmental protection bag" is free of charge, and to the owner, but increased operating costs. For example, owner sold a kg of vegetables, profits may be only 1 cents, with ordinary plastic bags to almost no computational cost, but if the use of biodegradable plastic bags, almost no money. Therefore, reducing the use cost is the key. I think, as in" bag" on print ads, advertising fees to offset the cost of using.

Once again, the reward consumption method of encouraging the use of" environmental protection bag". Might as well set, with " green bag" again when shopping, also can obtain many preferential.

Finally, when necessary, should be developed to limiting the use of disposable plastic bag use mandatory rules of law, legal culture in the public awareness of environmental make plastic bag, in order to eliminate the white pollution.

Outside the box

In developed countries, most of the supermarkets would not provide customers with free plastic bags, many people had to travel abroad experience. But this is not a government form, but a lot of supermarket consciousness for. People shopping is own bag, even someone carrying a big bag to go shopping, filled with a big bag, carrying a backpack bag to walk home, vehicles are not opened, serious environmental model. Some stores even plastic bottled water to charge you more than a few hairs euro, if you finish with empty bottles for you over the bottle fee, the supermarket is the use of this method to better ensure waste recycling.

In 2007 April, the United States of America San Francisco became the first in the world to supermarkets and pharmacies to ban the use of plastic bags in the city, and also the first city to this legislation. Bill, supermarkets and pharmacies can only provide paper bags, bag or corn by-products as raw materials for the production of biodegradable plastic bags. The city of San Francisco using chemical plastic bags each year more than 180000000, if the city's disabled, estimated annual savings of about 1700000 litres of crude oil, reduction of about 1400 tons of garbage.
