Block the plastic straw, need to "pull the pipe" from the source

According to the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Ecological Environment issued "on further strengthening the plastic pollution control opinion", the end of this year disposable plastic straw will be withdrawn from the catering industry. After the ban on plastic, a "ban on plastic" was issued to send a clear signal to the public that the implementation of plastic restrictions and plastic reduction environmental protection measures must be determined and realistic.
plastic straws to bring convenience to consumers, but also pollute the environment. China's cumulative output of plastic products last year 81.84 million tons, of which nearly 30,000 tons of plastic straws, about 46 billion; Disabling plastic straws is a key part of compressed plastic use. No matter how convenient the straw is, it must not be at the expense of the environment.
for the industry, the production and use ends are like the upper and lower ends of a plastic straw; The average cost of a plastic straw is about 3 cents per piece, creating favorable conditions for the rapid circulation and extensive use of goods. Therefore, in order to "block" the plastic straw, the first need to "pull the pipe" from the source. "Plastic limit order" for many years, the effect has not been satisfactory, and even the emergence of "from plastic limit to sell plastic" strange phenomenon, one of the reasons is easy production, supply constantly.
, businesses should also adopt innovation, in compliance with the new rules at the same time, so that consumers have a tube to suck. According to experts, the environmental replacement of plastic straws is not difficult. Recyclable products such as paper, bamboo, straw, glass and metal can be replaced. At present, many restaurants have added the "paper for plastic" option. After the "prohibition order" is issued, it is the social responsibility of the catering industry to guide consumers to use substitute products.
plastic straw, whether to continue to use or wave goodbye to this, not consumption choice question but environmental protection must answer the question. Less than half a year before the "prohibition order" came into effect, it will test not only the environmental awareness of businesses and consumers, but also the courage of regulators. Look forward to the "ban", really can be plastic straw tube.
