Recycle bags are not just for meeting the plastic limits

Over half of the consumers use their own recycling bag while there are many consumers use hands as the “shopping bags”. Before the plastic limit, the customers with bringing their own shopping bags just accounted for less than twenty percent and the phenomenon of requiring more plastic bags is common. Consumers think that is a benefit. Their excuse for more plastic bags it that they have not enough bags. Somebody come with bags obviously but still require the free bag.

But in most bazaars, all kinds of plastic bags are still open to a large number of unqualified provided free of charge to consumers, the situation with the plastic limit before the commencement of any different. Almost all of the stall owners are no signs of using a variety of thin plastic bags, and all is free. Plastic limit makes a lot of businesses reluctant to use these bags. But the loud objections of consumers, taking into account the vegetables a couple of dollars a dime bag also charge the money to do some reluctance, plus on the investigation do not strictly relevant. So everyone will secretly return to the previous state.

The prevailing myth is that plastic shopping bags and food packaging bags confused. In fact the plastic limits the shopping bags. Meat market should used food bags which have no requirements in thickness. It is asked to provider consumers free bags. Meat market but there is few qualified to provide food bags, the basic shopping bags instead of plastic. It is neither health nor security but expressly prohibited.

Beginning last year, once red-hot market will go up the bags downhill. At the end of 2007 may be introduced by the state, plastic limit news of the rapid expansion of the industry, only one place in Guangzhou bags less than 10 enterprises from the rapid expansion to nearly one hundred. Influx of a large number of companies led directly to price competition, falling profits, gross margin is now a green bag only one two cents. Especially the financial crisis, most commercial companies are reducing marketing, and promotional activities together with the delivery of the bags also will decline in sales. The more important reason is that the ‘plastic limit’ since its implementation, failure is still a large number of plastic bags in circulation, making the bags difficult to open a sales situation.

China launched the world's first plastic limit. It shows that the Chinese government's concern for environmental issues. And in the past year, plastic limit does change Chinese people's dependence on plastic bags a lot and spreads the environmental awareness. It does help reduce plastic bag caused by the white pollution, which is a welcome aspect. But, on the whole, a large number of non-compliance still exists in a plastic bag on the market. The quality supervision department did not control the source from the production, resulting in these plastic bags are still flooding into the market. In circulation, regulation of the business sector also in place, especially in some of the meat market, substandard plastic bags are still dominant.

Chinese quality supervision departments should strengthen the supervision of plastic products manufacturers and prevent the source of plastic bags. The business sector should actively combat illegal use of plastic bags in meat market. Meanwhile, all departments of China should strengthen the environmental advocacy in the whole society and make people accepted rept bag in their deep minds. It is not just for meeting the temporary plastic limits. Source: http://www.cnmhc.com
