Plastic limit order suffered three years of itch market I'm "plastic"

Since June 1, 2008, the "plastic limit order" has been implemented for three years. Recently, six departments such as the National Development and Reform Commission issued a notice to convene a special campaign to restrict the use of plastic shopping bags in production and sales from July to August this year. Yesterday afternoon, the reporter visited several farmer's markets in Hefei City and found that the vendors were still my “plastic”.

Free use of "plastic" has become a habit

Around 5 pm the day before yesterday, the reporter went to the Fengyang Road Market. Although there was a light rain, the enthusiasm of the consumers to buy food was not drowned out. Several people at the entrance and exit were busy, but they were even more lively in the market. Extraordinarily, the buzz of the butchers and the bargaining of customers have come and go.

From the entrance of the Fengyang Road into the vegetable market, the reporter observed along the way, whether it was a facade merchant or a street vendor, there were several kinds of plastic bags next to them, and there were ultra-thin white plastic bags with small capacity, but also large capacity. Red, black plastic bag. In addition to several elderly people who came to buy food with eco-bags, the vast majority of consumers are empty-handed. In a few moments, each person’s hands will carry several plastic bags containing each one. Vegetables. In front of a vegetable stall in the vegetable market, the reporter carefully observed nearly 15 minutes. According to statistics, a total of three consumers came to buy the stalls. After the vendors completed the three transactions, 11 white plastic bags were provided for free. 4 red large plastic bags.

The reporter then visited the Chaohu Lu Cai Market and several small farmers' markets. Almost all vendors sell plastic bags for free. Between customers and street vendors, using plastic bags for free seems to have become a habit. "I don't use plastic bags. Can I hold so many things with my hand? It's very convenient to use plastic bags. I'll just throw it out and throw it away. If you take an eco-bag, it's very easy to get dirty. It was dead,” said several consumers interviewed.

Plastic limit practical supervision is difficult

Since the implementation of the first round of “plastic limit order” on June 1, 2008, statistics from the National Development and Reform Commission show that the annual use of plastic shopping bags in major retail establishments in the country has decreased by 24 billion or more, and the use of plastic shopping bags in supermarkets and shopping malls is widespread. Reduce by more than 2/3. In spite of this, the implementation of plastic limited production in farmers' markets all over the country was relatively unfavorable. The reason for the investigation was that, in addition to the consumer's habits, the merchants' decentralized operations and unclear vendable prices were the causes of the farmers' market. Plastic is difficult to implement important reasons. "You don't send plastic bags. Other booths will be sent. If you go on like this, my source will not be lost." When it comes to the issue of limited plastics, several vendors have said that. For the use of ultra-thin unqualified plastic bags, vendors have said that they are trying to save costs. "A qualified eco-bag needs more than 1 hair, and this kind of plastic bag is only three or four cents each, and it is all about doing small business. Of course, it has to save costs."

“We have a total of more than 100 stallholders here, and there are seven or eighty shopfront merchants. It is impossible for them to rely solely on four or five managers.” Sun Qixiang, head of Fanyang Road’s bazaar, said to reporters that he was struggling. At the same time, five file boxes were moved out, which contained a limited plastic commitment letter from nearly 200 business households at Fengyang Road Vegetable Farm. Some of the above business households had fingerprints. Sun Qixiang said that since the limit of plastics in 2008, the country’s bazaar has signed an undertaking with business households every year. In addition, limited plastic promotional activities will be conducted, and free plastics bags will be given to merchants. At the same time, environmental protection bags will be distributed to customers free of charge. "But once merchants run out of complimentary bags, they start using unqualified plastic bags again. We can only conduct timely persuasion, but we can't directly intervene, otherwise it will be easy to conflict."
