Why the market of degradation food boxes is met with cold--The third part of "The White Paper"

Disposable foam plastic lunch boxes have become the primary objective of “banned” because of their light weight and large size. The former “Order 6” of the State Economic and Trade Commission required that production, sales, and use be prohibited throughout the country from January 2001 onwards. Meal boxes, using biodegradable "environmental food boxes" as substitutes. With the help of Dongfeng, the national production line for degradable lunch boxes was launched. However, within two years, domestic companies that were launched at that time were forced to close down, stop production, or switch production. For example, all nine production lines in Guangzhou have been closed or converted, and three companies in six enterprises in Hubei have been closed down. In addition, most of the 40 enterprises that produce paper-based lunch boxes in Jiangsu Province have ceased production. Why do companies favor, make great efforts, and spend large sums of capital are met with the cold market?
Although the price is the main reason <br> put into degradable plastic lunch box production lines for the production line than the plastic foam lunch boxes funding is much lower, the degradation of lunch boxes and low prices of raw materials per ton than the foam lunch boxes price of nearly 1,000 yuan, but Each foam plastic lunch box only needs about 5 grams of material, while the degradable lunch box only needs about 15 grams of material, and the process of foaming plastics is mature. Most of the equipments currently in use have already recovered the funds and there is no depreciation expense for the equipment. Therefore, the cost of foam plastic lunch boxes is very low. According to market research, a foamed plastic lunch box sells for less than a dime, and an eco-friendly lunch box has a production cost of five cents. Even if the capital preservation is sold, it cannot compete with the foam plastic lunch box because the price difference is too big. Great disparity. Since degradable plastic lunch boxes are much more expensive than disposable ones, restaurants, especially small restaurants, are unwilling to use them, and the market is unacceptable.
Technology, however <br> degradable plastics technology also is currently the world problems, global degradation technology are not mature. The degradation food boxes are not as good as the foam lunch boxes in terms of strength, acid resistance, oil resistance, moisture retention and other properties. For example, photo-biological degradation polypropylene lunch boxes that have the capacity to compete with the foamed lunch boxes have a soft texture. The poor moisturizing performance results in low market acceptance, while some degradation food boxes overemphasize degradation and add too many additives, causing residues to exceed the standards, and have a certain impact on the human body.
In addition, whether or not the degradable plastic meal boxes can be “completely” degraded is a problem that experts are currently arguing. Before degrading, the degradable plastic lunch boxes still need to be recycled to eliminate visual pollution. However, how to recycle it is yet another new problem to be solved.
Blind duplicate construction <br> launched after the former State Economic and Trade Commission, "6 orders" issued, many companies even understand the concept of degradable plastics have not only heard of broad prospects degradable plastic lunch boxes, lunch boxes degradation blindly launched production line. Since the "No. 6 Order" was issued, it did not immediately release the technical standards for the replacement of disposable foaming lunch boxes. Therefore, the production line introduced at that time was very complicated, there was no uniform technical indicator, and there were many problems. The above situation, such as only Guangzhou City and its surrounding areas on the same time on the 9 production lines, repeatable degree of construction can be imagined.
When the state promulgated the "General technical conditions for disposable degradable tableware" and the "Test method for the degradability of disposable degradable tableware", the blindly launched company was hit hard, and many companies' products did not achieve performance at all. Requirements and degradation requirements can only be stopped or converted.
Law enforcement is not enough "banned" is issued by the country, of course, is authoritative, but two years have passed, why is the market still full of foam boxes? Is the country’s “banned” policy wrong, or is there no need for “white ban”? neither. One important reason is that this is a great benefit to the sustainable development of the economy and society. However, the recent market efficiency is not as good as people expect and there is a lack of legal protection and enforcement. The government documents do not stipulate the corresponding penalties, and there is no specific enforcement department. When there is demand in the market and the production and sales of foamed lunch boxes do not stop, it is naturally difficult for the degradable lunch boxes with inferior prices to prevail in the market.
In addition, the end-users' limited knowledge of the degradation of lunch boxes has also caused difficulties in the promotion of degradable plastic lunch boxes in the market. When dining out, very few consumers actively request the use of degradable plastic lunch boxes, but what restaurants use for what, most of the ordinary consumers do not know or don’t know about the “banned” documents issued by the country. To resist the foam plastic lunch boxes, to a certain extent, increased the difficulty of promotion of degradable plastic lunch boxes.
Also, counterfeiting "environmental food boxes" has affected the reputation of degradable plastic lunch boxes. Due to the lack of consumers' knowledge of the degradable plastic lunch boxes, a large number of fake food boxes have been swept through the city. The rate of unqualified screening of degradable lunch boxes in Beijing must have reached 50%.
At present, the foaming lunch boxes on the market have been banned for a long time. Degradable plastic lunch boxes are at a disadvantage, and "white pollution" has not been fundamentally resolved. In the Beijing market, where the "banned orders" were better, the foamed plastic lunch boxes still accounted for 30% of the market. In the face of this situation, the Beijing municipal government has proposed “government support, business operation, participation of all people, and technology support” to promote the recycling of disposable plastic lunch boxes and the production of environmentally friendly plastic lunch boxes, with special emphasis on the need to study degradation in line with market conditions. Lunch box.
