It is reported that at present, an environmental protection organization has found that each takeaway consumes an average of 3.27 disposable plastic lunch boxes/cups, which means that takeaway consumes more than 6 million lunch boxes every day, and the height of each lunch box is 5 cm, which is equivalent to 339 Mount Everest.
It is reported that at present, the recycling rate of take-away garbage is very low, the take-away garbage is relatively scattered, and the recycling value is low, and most of it adheres to oil, soup and food residue, so the economic cost and environmental cost of recycling are relatively high and unprofitable, so naturally no one will recycle it.
to solve the environmental problems caused by take-away, we should systematically and scientifically evaluate the take-away logistics, waste discharge, treatment and disposal from the perspective of life cycle analysis, so as to avoid the "hidden" transfer of environmental impact between different links caused by taking measures in a single link, and it is difficult to recycle food after it is placed. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate whether its environmental impact is really smaller than that of plastic lunch boxes from the perspective of life cycle.
At present, degradable lunch boxes and * * * enjoy lunch boxes can be useful supplements, but these products are not qualified to replace disposable plastic lunch boxes at present.
I hope you can cut down on takeout while enjoying delicious food!
