Plastic restriction has been implemented ten years ago, in this decade, plastic restriction has also gone through an upgrade, each upgrade will be more and more strict. Now, in 2021, many places will usher in another upgrade of the plastic limit order, after this upgrade, known as the strictest plastic limit order, after this upgrade, many restaurants in the side of the previous use of non-biodegradable plastics, will be prohibited to use, so in the face of the strictest plastic limit order, the catering market consumption will cause what trouble?

A. What are the new provisions of the strictest plastic ban?

After the plastic limit is enforced, large supermarkets will no longer provide free plastic shopping bags, that are issued in the form of purchases, in order to limit the use of these plastic bags, but through this upgrade, many local supermarkets will no longer provide non-biodegradable plastic shopping bags. In other words, in the future, the shopping bags provided by supermarkets will only be environmentally friendly. Also in the catering industry, non-biodegradable plastic straws have been banned. Some places have also stipulated that disposable styrofoam tableware will also be banned.

The second, this most stringent plastic restriction will be on the catering market to cause what trouble?

Many people are already accustomed to using disposable plastic straws or using disposable tableware, and if these disposable items are banned all of a sudden, people will feel very inconvenient, so the catering industry also needs to find ways to find appropriate alternatives. Some restaurants use paper straws to replace plastic straws, but some consumers think that paper straws are not convenient to use, and even some consumers in order not to use paper straws, simply no longer order milk tea and other drinks. In the long run, however, people are still looking for environmentally friendly alternatives, but the cost will certainly be higher than the previous plastic products. So that might also have a tendency to push up the level of spending in the restaurant industry.
