    It is prohibited to sell and use (provide for use) the single-use non-degradable plastic bags and plastic tableware listed in the "List"

    Recently, the newly issued "List of Disposable Non-degradable Plastic Products Prohibited from Production and Sale in Hainan Province (First Batch)" (hereinafter referred to as the "List")


    .


    Include 10 sub-categories of disposable non-degradable plastic products in 2 categories of disposable non-degradable plastic bags and tableware into the first batch of "plastic ban"


    .


    However, it is important to point out that the prohibited film bags and catering do not contain pre-packaged products, such as instant noodles, jelly, yogurt and other products

    What are the alternative products in the market after the "plastic ban"? 

    What are the alternative products in the market after the "plastic ban"? 

    According to reports, in terms of promoting the development of industries related to alternative products, in order to ensure the supply of alternatives after the "plastic ban", the Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology has issued and implemented the "Hainan Province Fully Biodegradable Plastic Industry Development Plan (2020-2025)".
    Enterprises intend to invest.
    There are already 4 enterprises in the province that are building or planning to build alternative production projects.
    It is expected that by the end of this year, Hainan Province will have a production capacity of 23,000 tons/year of alternatives


    .


    There seem to be many types of waste-free alternatives, such as paper, cloth bags, hemp and other products, reusable plastic baskets, baskets, etc.
    , as well as fully biodegradable plastics


    .


    In terms of price, taking fully biodegradable plastic products as an example, the current price of fully biodegradable raw materials is twice that of traditional plastic raw materials.

    .

    However, with the expansion of production capacity and the research and development of new materials, the cost and selling price of alternative products will be further reduced.
    At the same time, the use of disposable plastic products can be reduced through economic regulation and control

    .
     

    In the process of carrying out the "plastic ban" work, we will also strengthen supervision and supervision, and limit violations everywhere
