Disposable tableware products are mixed

With the increasing efforts of governments at all levels to control “white pollution”, the amount of foamed tableware has been significantly reduced in Beijing streets, shopping malls, supermarkets and hotels. However, the reporter found that a small number of restaurants and public places are still using disposable foam tableware, while some unqualified or counterfeit "green tableware" also take advantage.
Among them, non-foam plastic tableware based on polypropylene is the main ingredient. Up to 90% of the tableware is made of polypropylene plus bone powder or calcium carbonate. According to inspections by relevant authorities, most of this type of products do not meet national standards and cannot meet the requirements of environmental protection and food hygiene. Since the price of such products is much lower than that of qualified products, it not only damages the interests of enterprises that produce qualified products, but also damages the health of consumers and causes people to lose trust in environmentally-friendly products.
Industry insiders suggested that the relevant departments should strengthen the enforcement inspection of the environmental protection tableware market and should expose the substandard products and enterprises. Strictly penalizing unqualified production enterprises, blocking the supply of inferior products and regulating the market.
