Starting from July 1, 2021, non-biodegradable disposable plastic coffee stirrers will be banned in the catering industry in Beijing; and the production and sale of disposable plastic cotton swabs will be banned in Beijing. Like plastic bags, the main culprit of takeaway food is disposable lunch boxes. There are already many catering companies using biodegradable materials such as pulp boxes and sugarcane fiberboard, but the cost of such boxes is often higher than that of plastic boxes, and it will take time for them to become fully popular. "We've always wanted to deliver food in cartons or biodegradable boxes, but the cost is too high." One restaurant manager said.

Non-biodegradable plastic bags will be banned in the city's built-up areas, and non-biodegradable disposable plastic tableware will be banned in built-up areas and scenic spots, according to a detailed statement issued by the Beijing Municipal Administration of Market Supervision.

In the wholesale and retail trade, supermarkets, shopping malls, markets and other places where goods are retailed are not allowed to provide free plastic shopping bags. In the exhibition industry, the use of non-biodegradable plastic bags is explicitly banned.

Subsidies should be given to the research and development of the relevant enterprises, and tax breaks should be implemented for biodegradable products to curb "white pollution" at the source and provide the public with more convenient and environmentally friendly alternatives. Some industry insiders also pointed out that the internationally recognized waste collection system can be imitated, innovative recycling channels. When consumers buy takeaway food, they first pay a portion of the deposit to the platform. After the meal, the takeaway boxes will be sent to self-service recycling machines or manual recycling points. Upon confirmation by the platform, the deposit will be returned to the consumer, thus prompting consumers to establish a healthy consumption concept and awareness of garbage recycling.
