July 10, "takeaway lunch box first share" EHI in the dark trading in the Watson Tong surged more than 60%, EHI in July 13 in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange GEM successfully listed, is also the first share of the national takeaway lunch box.
When it comes to takeout, we all know that in the last six months many residents in order to reduce the number of outings, but also suffering from poor cooking, takeout has become the preferred choice, especially young white-collar family. The new crown epidemic prevention and control period, due to the closure of physical stores, courier, takeaway and other industries in a number of countries rapid development, the use of disposable plastic waste increased significantly. So why is the plastic industry, which has such a high market demand, experiencing a ban? In fact, the biggest reason is to effectively reduce plastic pollution.
In recent years, whether domestic or foreign, the policy level in the implementation of disposable plastic products ban, although banned, but have to recognize that this is an irreversible trend. As early as January 8, 2008, the General Office of the State Council issued a "notice on the restriction of the production and sale of plastic shopping bags," and now, "Plastic Restriction" has been implemented for more than a decade, we can find in some large supermarkets, catering companies, etc., the environmental protection of the paid use of plastic bags to be promoted, but in some small markets, stores and so on. However, in some small markets, shops and other places, ultra-thin plastic bags, non-biodegradable plastic bags are still packaging "protagonist". In recent years, with the rise of Internet e-commerce, takeaway, online shopping and jumped to become a major user of plastic. Recently, the media reported a piece of news, since September 1 this year, the newly revised "Chinese People's Republic of China *** and the State Law on Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Wastes" will come into force, failing to comply with the relevant national regulations prohibiting and restricting the use of non-biodegradable bags and other disposable plastic products will be subject to a fine of 10,000 to 100,000 yuan. In this context, a number of giants in the catering industry, one after another began the "plastic" action. So, "plastic" action on the polyolefin industry, what is the impact?
"Restriction of plastic" to reduce white pollution, protection of the ecological environment has played a positive role, but with the rapid development of some industries, the demand for plastic bags is still very strong. A takeaway needs at least 1 lunch box and 1 plastic bag, if the point of more that is multiplied, take Meituan takeaway as an example, in 2019, Meituan users about 400 million, if each person orders food 2 times a month, the average use of 3 lunch boxes, 1 plastic bag, that each year China will produce 14.4 billion lunch box waste and 4.8 billion plastic bags, which with the plastic limit order to save 8.75 billion / year compared to the discarded plastic bags. That's a lot more than the 8.75 billion plastic bags saved by the plastic ban. In addition to the takeaway industry, in the express delivery industry, the use of express plastic bags is also very frequent, in order to goods are not crushed collision, businesses will also be wrapped in several layers of packaging bubble wrap outside the goods, and these plastic products in the user to open the courier the moment it becomes "waste"... ...The main components of plastic bags are polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PV), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene resin (PS), and these are petroleum extracts. According to data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 11 barrels of crude oil are needed to produce 1 ton of plastic bags; analysis by the environmental departments of Japan and Germany shows that 1,000 kilograms of polyethylene are needed to produce 50,000 plastic bags. Currently, China uses more than 3 billion plastic bags or more per day, and the annual use of plastic bags exceeds 10,000 billion, and at 3 grams each, China will consume 9,000 tons of plastic bags per day. As of 2019, the annual use of plastic bags in China exceeds 4 million tons.
In the new consumer situation, more and more disposable plastic products to the plastic restriction put forward a new topic. Prohibit the production and sale of ultra-thin plastic shopping bags with a thickness of less than 0.025 millimeters, polyethylene agricultural film with a thickness of less than 0.01 millimeters ...... of disposable plastic products of the new regulations, short-term short-term demand side of the plastic, but in the medium and long term, it will accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the plastics industry, the establishment of a benign competition mechanism, which will form a positive influence The new regulations will have a positive impact on the demand for plastics in the short term. The future of disposable plastics will gradually be replaced by biodegradable plastics, environmental degradation materials undoubtedly have a broad space for development, which also provides the relevant manufacturing industry with new ideas and development direction.
