Paper cups, paper bowls, and paper lunch boxes are the most vibrant green dining utensils in the 21st century.：
Since its inception, paper-made tableware has been widely promoted and used in developed countries and regions such as Europe, America, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and Hong Kong.Paper products have unique characteristics such as beautiful appearance, environmental protection and hygiene, oil-proof and temperature-resistant, and are non-toxic and odorless, have a good image, feel good, degradable and pollution-free.As soon as paper tableware entered the market, it was quickly accepted by people with its unique charm.The international fast food industry and beverage suppliers such as McDonald's, KFC, Coca-Cola, Pepsi and various convenience noodle manufacturers all use paper catering utensils. While plastic products that appeared twenty years ago and were hailed as the "white Revolution" brought convenience to mankind, they also produced "white pollution" that is difficult to eliminate today.Because plastic tableware is difficult to recycle, incineration produces harmful gases, and cannot degrade naturally, and burial will destroy the soil structure.My government spends hundreds of millions of dollars every year to deal with it, but it has little effect.The development of green and environmentally friendly products and the elimination of white pollution have become a major global social issue.
At present, from an international perspective, many countries in Europe and the United States have already legislated to prohibit the use of plastic dining utensils.Judging from the domestic situation, the Ministry of Railways, the Ministry of Communications, the State Environmental Protection Administration, the State Planning Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and local governments such as Wuhan, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Dalian, Xiamen, Guangzhou and many other major cities have taken the lead in issuing decrees to completely prohibit the use of disposable plastic catering utensils. Document No. 6 of the State Economic and Trade Commission (1999) also clearly stipulates that at the end of 2000, the use of plastic catering supplies will be completely banned nationwide.A global revolution in the manufacturing of plastic tableware is gradually emerging.The green and environmentally friendly products of "paper instead of plastic" have become one of the trends in the development of today's society.
In order to adapt to and promote the development of the "paper-for-plastic" activity, on December 28, 1999, the State Economic and Trade Commission, in conjunction with the State Administration of Quality and Technical Supervision, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Health issued two national standards, "General Technical Standards for Disposable Biodegradable Tableware" and "Disposable Degradable Performance Test Methods", which have been implemented since January 1, 2000.It provides a unified technical basis for the production, sales, use and supervision of disposable biodegradable catering utensils in our country. With the rapid development of our country's economy and the steady improvement of people's living standards, people's awareness of hygiene and health is also constantly strengthening. At present, disposable paper cups have become a necessity for people's daily consumption in many economically developed areas.
Experts predict that in the past three years, paper catering utensils will quickly sweep the country and enter households in large numbers. Its market is growing rapidly and expanding. It is the general trend for plastic tableware to end its historical mission, and paper tableware is becoming a fashion trend.
At present, the paper product market has just started, and the market has broad prospects.According to statistics, the consumption of paper products and catering utensils was 3 billion in 1999, and it reached 4.5 billion in 2000. It is expected that it will increase sharply at a rate of 50% every year in the next five years.Paper catering utensils have been widely used in commercial, aviation, high-end fast food restaurants, cold drink restaurants, large and medium-sized enterprises, government departments, hotels, families in economically developed areas, etc., and are rapidly expanding to medium and small cities in the mainland.In China, the country with the largest population in the world.Its great market potential provides a broad space for paper product manufacturers.
