The ultimate goal of the ban on plastics is undoubtedly to promote more environmentally friendly alternatives by orderly prohibiting and restricting the production, sale and use of plastic products, and ultimately to cultivate a new model of recycling and reduce the amount of plastic waste landfill .

With biodegradable plastic straws, do you not have to worry about pollution and use them without restraint?

No, the raw materials of biodegradable plastics are corn and other food crops, and uncontrolled use will cause food waste. In addition, the safety of degradable plastic components is not higher than that of traditional plastics. Many degradable plastic bags are fragile and not durable. For this reason, some producers will add various additives, and these additives may have new impacts on the environment.

After the garbage classification is implemented, what kind of garbage does degradable plastic belong to?

In European and American countries, under the condition of ensuring the back-end classified collection and composting treatment, it can be classified as "compostable garbage", or allowed to be thrown together with food waste. In the classification guidelines issued by most cities in our country, it is not recyclable. Shanghai lists it as dry waste, while cities like Beijing list it as other waste.

This is because biodegradable plastics cannot be degraded naturally, nor can they be degraded by just burying them in the soil. The degradation needs to be carried out under strict temperature control, humidity control and other conditions. However, our existing back-end processing system is still unable to accurately identify, sort or collect and transport these products individually on a large scale, composting and degrading such products.

Therefore, some experts suggest that the promotion of degradable plastic products should not be rushed, but should be carried out gradually and steadily. On the other hand, the construction of processing capacity should also be actively expanded.
