With the popularity of online ordering, more and more businesses have begun to provide take-away services, the use of disposable Plastic Tableware is growing. However, we recently visited a number of restaurants and discovered that some plastic packaging boxes did not have any signs. Relevant departments reminded consumers that they should first pay attention to the presence or absence of the "PP5" sign.
Some packaging boxes have no signs
Two days ago, Mr. Yang from Hefei used a mobile phone to order a lobster bowl. “The plastic packaging box of rice bowl is black and looks very tall. But I took a look at the packing box and there was no sign on it.” Mr. Yang straightly criticized him. “The box will not be three. Product?"
At noon yesterday, he came to a food court on the first floor of a shopping mall in Hefei, south of Hefei. The owner of a pan-fried bag shop told reporters that their packing box was wholesale from the vegetable market, about 5 cents a pound, as far as manufacturers, security. Sex has not been considered.
Afterwards, he went to a shop selling fried rice. On the one-off plastic packing box provided by the shop, the reporter saw a triangle surrounded by arrows. The middle number was 5, and there was no sign.
Through visits to a number of food and beverage outlets, a disposable plastic packaging box with a relatively comprehensive information label was finally seen in a restaurant. At the bottom of the packaging box, there are not only the symbol 5 indicating that the raw material is polypropylene, but also the QS logo of “production license” and the manufacturer's logo and initials, which are more formal. "These boxes are delivered uniformly by the company. If customers require packing, we generally charge a one-piece fee," said the store's staff.
Plastic waste grows faster
Master Chen is the cleaning head of a team of the Sanitation Center of Xiangyang District Urban Management Bureau. “From the beginning of a few years ago, I discovered that Hefei's plastic household waste is particularly large. In the past two years, it has increased a lot.” Master Chen said that from a quantitative point of view, the amount of plastic waste that is being cleaned every day is 50% higher than before.
“Disposable Plastic Boxes, garbage bags, etc. should belong to household waste. Although we have not specifically done statistics on these wastes, the number of domestic garbage has been increasing.” said the person in charge of the Publicity Department of the Urban Management Bureau of Hefei, 2008. About Hefei City produces about 2,000 tons of domestic garbage every day, but now it produces 3,800 tons of domestic garbage every day.
The harm caused by “white pollution” to the environment is self-evident. According to the person in charge of the Publicity Department of the Hefei Urban Management Bureau, at the end of March this year, Hefei carried out garbage classification pilot projects in 10 communities including Baohe District and Xiangyang District. “The sorting of garbage was implemented in 2011, but the results were not good. Therefore, we will restart this year and encourage residents to classify different types of garbage such as paper, plastic, and glass.”
Best to use regular products
"There are many kinds of disposable plastic tableware, such as lunch boxes and straws. The main raw materials are food-grade polypropylene and polyethylene resins." The staff of the Food Chemistry Engineering Technology Center of the Institute of Product Quality Supervision, Inspection and Research of Anhui Province stated that the raw material resin was squeezed. After rolling and plastic forming, disposable plastic tableware can be produced and the production process is very simple.
It is understood that there are currently more than 500 enterprises (plastic packaging) that have been approved to produce food-related products in Anhui Province. “These enterprises all have production and business licenses and are regular enterprises. They belong to the scope of our monitoring, but some have no license to operate. Small workshops belong to the regulatory blind spot.” The staff explained that the regular enterprises have their own accounts, how much they produce, how much they sell, where they can be sold, and the disposable plastics produced by small workshops. Once the product has a problem, it cannot find the source.
"In general, as long as the use of food-grade polypropylene resin compliance, the production of disposable plastic tableware is still relatively safe, but does not rule out the use of recycled materials for some small workshops." The staff told Xinan Evening News Anhui Network reporter It is hoped that the public can strengthen the report. If you have the clues of the unlicensed workshops that produce disposable plastic tableware, you can call 12365 to reflect it.
The staff member reminded the public that the use of plastic lunch boxes first depends on whether there is a PP5 logo. “The bottom of some plastic lunch boxes will have a triangle of arrows with a number of 5, which means that the raw material is polypropylene (PP), which can be heated in a microwave oven. The number 1 indicates that the raw material is polyester (PET), also It can be used as a food-related product, such as a mineral water bottle."
In addition, the regular manufacturer's disposable plastic packaging boxes also have production-approved QS logos, as well as plant name and site information. If any signs are not available, consumers should be careful when using them.
