7 Billion Paper Tableware, Who Will Make Money

At present, there are more than 100 manufacturers of biodegradable pulp meals nationwide, with an annual production capacity of 3 billion pieces. According to figures from the National Bureau of Statistics, about 10 billion lunch boxes plus instant noodle bowls, dish plates, paper cups, etc. are consumed once a year in the country. Then, this gap must be filled before December 31 this year. These 7 billion Where do the paper tableware come from?
• According to Li Jiang, deputy director of the National Leading Group for Disposable Foamed Plastic Packaging Substitution of the National Light Industry Bureau, our country has only determined to control pollution at the end of 1994 and early 1995, and began research and development of alternative products. At the end of 1997, various alternative products were developed. In 1998 and 1999, there was a leap in production technology, and it was also a leader in the world. Take a 600ml ordinary lunch box as an example. The single cost price of a product developed before 1997 was about 30 cents, so many products are now exported to the United States, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore in large quantities, and there is often a shortage of supply. The products of an enterprise in Quanzhou, Fujian Province are also designated as fast food utensils for the Sydney Olympics this year, but the domestic market is far from as good as the international market. This is a strange phenomenon. The domestic market does not accept this price, and the existing manufacturers are reluctant to do the domestic market because of the good foreign market.
• He believes that the domestic market does not accept the price of more than 2 cents of pulp lunch boxes. This issue should be analyzed in detail. In fact, it's not that the final consumer does not accept it. For example, mineral water is more than 1 yuan, packaging bottles are 8 hairs, cola is 2 yuan and 5 hairs, and cans are more than 1 yuan. Consumers have accepted them. Instant noodles for a few yuan, a few yuan or even more than 10 yuan Fast food rice, only a box of more than 2 hairs, is completely acceptable to consumers. The key is that consumers are in a passive position when consuming the product. Also due to the large transition time span of the ban, the replacement and replaced tableware have a long overlap period. , Intermediate use companies often choose low-priced rather than paper tableware.
•It is also because the replacement overlap time is too long. Although many disposable tableware manufacturers have seen the long-term economic benefits of pulp molded tableware, they still hold a wait-and-see attitude under the current price gap and policy background. . Li Jiang told reporters that the Leading Group for Substitution Work is applying for the National Light Industry Bureau in conjunction with other relevant state departments to strengthen economic regulation and impose heavy taxes on companies producing substituted products that pollute the environment, effectively supporting the growth and development of companies producing alternative products, and using economic means To adjust the staged product price differences in the market economy. Advanced countries such as Japan and the United States have done this.
• Premier Zhu's instruction on the replacement of disposable foam tableware on May 27 last year pointed out that in the process of controlling white pollution, investment should not be made blindly. The State Economic and Trade Commission should take the lead in formulating national standards for the production of disposable tableware. Clean the family background and make a reasonable layout.
•According to this spirit, the State Economic and Trade Commission, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the National Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision jointly promulgated the national standards for the production of disposable tableware.
