Catering: Paper bags for take-out and packaging

As far as the business format is concerned, the food and beverage industry has the largest demand for plastic ban and plastic restriction since October 1, except for non-degradable plastic bags, non-degradable plastic straws, plastic cutlery and other tableware have also been banned.

KFC and McDonald's stores have begun to replace plastic straws, plastic tableware and plastic bags for packaging and take-out a few days before the implementation of the new regulations. The original plastic knives, forks and spoons in these stores were all replaced by wood, and the straws were replaced by paper.

when customers need to take out or deliver meals, the clerk will pack them in paper lunch boxes or bags (except for drinks or ice cream in cups, which are covered in degradable plastic bags because paper bags are not waterproof) and put them together in a large packaging paper bag.

KFC South Mall Store started to ban non-degradable plastic bags in the packaging and take-out process on February 28th, and a notice was posted on the wall at the service desk, telling consumers that the store provided free hand-free paper bags.

if customers need to pack take-away meals in degradable plastic bags, they need to pay for them. The prices of large and small bags are 1.5 yuan and 1.3 yuan respectively.
