By June 1 this year, the "plastic limit order" was on its third anniversary. At the seminar on the third anniversary of the introduction of the plastic limit order held recently, Li Jing, deputy director of the Department of Central Resources under the National Development and Reform Commission, disclosed that since the last three years, the amount of plastic bags in supermarkets has decreased by more than two-thirds, but farmers markets The use of ultra-thin plastic bags is heating up.

It is reported that at present China's "plastic limit order" is mainly aimed at supermarkets, shopping malls, farmers market and so on. Li Jiajian, Director of the Standards and Standards Division of the Department of Commerce and Trade Services of the Ministry of Commerce, said that it will expand the use of plastic bags, including restaurants, hospitals and other places.

Today, although the “Limited Plastic Order” will reach its third anniversary, many large-scale non-standard ultra-thin plastic bags are rising in many food markets and roadside vendors in many cities across the country. They are widely used for food or fruits and vegetables. . The reporter recently visited the use of plastic bags in the Nanjing market.

Agricultural Market

Ultra-thin bags colorfully want a couple to occasionally send a "green bag"

In Nanhu, Nanjing, the reporter saw a large number of plastic bags hanging from almost every stall in the field. Red, yellow, blue, and green... What colors are there?

A lady is ready to buy some eggplants. The boss skillfully pulls two blue plastic bags and hand them her. "So thin, couldn't support it?" "Let's give you one more set."

The reporters found that most whites give ultra-thin bags without any sign. Unless the customer takes the initiative to propose eco-bags, a small number of bosses will come up with regular products printed with "green shopping bags," but such bags are generally small. And it's only free for one at a time - it's fine, not in any more markets.

Universal use of "ultra-thin bags"

In the same way, reporters at a vegetable market in the east of the city saw that almost all booth owners provided thin plastic bags for free.

Director Wang of the market manager told reporters that they had made extensive publicity through meetings, sign boards, electronic screens, etc., and tried to add the clause of “does not use ultra-thin plastic bags” in the newly signed agreement, but it was With the unanimous objection of the vendors, in the end they can only keep their eyes closed.

The buns also use ultra-thin bags. “You see my bags are so white. It's absolutely fine to eat them,” said the owner of a biscuit shop on Huxi Street. Only colorful bags are poisonous. The reporter saw that the boss’s white bag is very thin, unevenly dyed, and has white spots that are somewhat rough to the touch.

So, where did these ultrathin plastic bags come from? According to the vegetable vendors at Nanhu, there are people who come to the market every day to sell them. “A bag can be bought for a few cents” and “the wholesale market can also buy it, and it is cheaper.”

Wholesale market

Eco-bag 4 cents a thin pocket 4 cents Later, the reporter in a large wholesale market near Nanjing Jianning Road, found four or five specialized wholesale plastic bags bunk.

The reporter saw that the formal green plastic bags with the QS logo printed on them were mainly pale white or transparent in appearance, and the price was about 4 cents. While the ultra-thin bags were much brighter, a bundle of 100 had only 4 yuan. "Take a lot of money, you can bundle 3 dollars," and an average of 3 cents a bag.

The reporter opened a bundle of ultra-thin plastic bags and touched it on the plastic bag by hand. The hand immediately touched some powdery material.

"Can this bag be loaded with buns?" The reporter pretends to open the bun shop. "It's better to buy white," and the boss did not answer the reporter's question of "is it safe?" It just said "white looks clean."

Major supermarkets

When customers tore up “indefinitely” even when the volume of roll bags soared and the number of free plastic bags in the market flooded, the free use of plastic bags in major supermarkets in Nanjing was almost invisible. At the checkout counter, there are green plastic bags that are priced from a few cents to a dollar.

However, the reporter also noticed in the interview that some supermarkets are also brushing the ball to cater to the habit of consumers taking plastic bags free of charge, the most common of which is the “rolling bags”.

In many large supermarkets, the number of roll bags that were originally placed on the side of bulk goods or fruits has increased significantly in the past two years. The reporters carefully observed that some people even tore a few tears and used a roll of bags to wash them. Hair and other items.

A person in charge of a supermarket told the reporter that before the “plastic limit” had such a roll bag, it was mainly for loading some bulk food. Nowadays, they do not care too much about whether the public can use this to hold other things, and they cannot control it. He stressed that this kind of roll bag contains cassava ingredients that can be degraded, so it should not be within the scope of the "plastic limit order".

Instrument detection experimental spectrum mess

Everyone knows that these ultra-thin ultra-thin plastic bags are "bad", but where exactly are they not good, how are they different from green plastic bags? Does this "white give" ultra-thin plastic bag food spread harmful substances? A few days ago, the reporter came to the province's authoritative organization to test product quality - the Jiangsu Provincial Institute of Product Quality Supervision and Inspection, invited experts to use a professional instrument to the reporter to bring the plastic bag to do a "physical examination."

Before experiment, popularize common sense

Before the “physical examination”, the quality inspection institute engineer Xiang Bin first gave the reporter some basic knowledge.

"There are two types of plastic bags, one is polyethylene and the other is polyvinyl chloride. Polyethylene is used as the raw material for food plastic bags; the use of polyvinyl chloride is mostly wire sheathing, fiber optic sheathing, Packaging paper, etc." Xiang Bin told reporters that "plastic limit order" has been issued so far, the regular enterprise production of plastic bags are very careful on the use of materials.

However, some small workshops do not pay attention to the raw materials. In order to save costs, some may even add recycled materials to the raw materials. "Used medicine bottles and waste plastics can all be used as recycled materials, which contain a lot of impurities and toxic and harmful substances." Xiang Bin introduced.
