It is understood that disposable foam plastic tableware not only pollutes the environment, but at the same time it will damage the normal functions of the human liver, kidney, reproductive system, and nervous system at high temperatures. Therefore, the increasing proliferation of white pollution not only seriously damages the environment in Beijing, but also further threatens the health of Beijing residents. From early February to mid-March 2001, the Beijing Consumers’ Association conducted a social survey of “disposable foamed plastic utensils consumption status” in Beijing's eight districts.

Investigation and Analysis of the Intensity of White Pollution Overflowing According to the survey results, more than 5 million consumers in Beijing are using disposable foam plastic snack bars. Based on 11 monthly consumption per person per month, the total monthly consumption is 55 million, and the total annual consumption is as high as 660 million. Coupled with the consumption of short-term floating population, the large number of people is evident. At present, disposable foam plastic snacks have no perfect way of recycling, and most are discarded, causing white pollution. Discarded disposable foam plastic snacks will remain in their original shape even after being buried deep in the soil for hundreds of years. In the knowledge of harmful circumstances, there are still some consumers are using, which fully shows that a considerable number of consumers are passively used, and the improvement of the consumer market and consumer environment cannot be delayed. On the other hand, there is still a large market for disposable foam plastic tableware, and white pollution has continued unabated. The overwhelming majority of consumers are familiar with the harm of white pollution to the environment, but their awareness of human health damage is not enough. After repeated calls from environmentalists and repeated publicity by the media, more and more consumers are aware that white pollution will harm the environment. However, more than one-third of consumers are totally unaware of the damage they can cause to the human body. Restaurants often use disposable foam plastic utensils to hold hot dishes and hot meals just outside the pan. Some people use microwave ovens to heat foods packed in disposable foam plastic utensils. These bad eating habits can jeopardize human health. . This damage is as slow and long-lasting as the white pollution is to the environment. The cut off of white pollution sources is the result of popular belief. The survey shows that as many as 97.1% of consumers think that the use of disposable foam plastic utensils will damage the environment and must be stopped. Nearly 100% of consumers expect the government to take strict measures and the media to strengthen publicity to stop the use of disposable foam plastic snacks. At the same time, 90% of consumers promised to use green fast food appliances and refused to use disposable foam plastic fast food appliances, indicating that cutting off the white pollution source is the desire of the people and the desire of the people. At the same time, it also expressed the support of consumers for the "banned orders." The survey of green snacks is ready to show: 87.7% of consumers can correctly understand the concept of green snack utensils; 83% of consumers know or partially know that our country is currently replacing disposable foam plastic snack foods with recyclable or degradable products. The main varieties of snacks. It shows that the concept and product category of green snack utensils have been relatively correctly understood in the minds of most consumers. This has laid a solid foundation for the green fast food utensils to eventually replace disposable foam plastic utensils. However, green snacks have not yet become mainstream, disposable foam plastic tableware is still popular, and its reasons are worth pondering. Some Suggestions On January 22, 1999, the State Economic and Trade Commission issued the “Catalogue of Eliminating Outdated Production Capabilities, Processes, and Products” (the first batch) and requested that disposable foam plastic tableware be eliminated before the end of 2000. In March 1999, the Beijing Municipal People’s Government issued the “Measures for the Administration of Restricting the Sale and Use of Plastic Bags and Disposable Plastic Tableware in Beijing Municipality”, requiring that it be banned at the railway stations, coach stations, airports, and capitals from May 1, 1999. Civilized scenic spots (points) and hotels and restaurants sell and use disposable foam plastic tableware. However, from the survey results, disposable foam plastic tableware still has a huge consumer market. Therefore, it is hoped that the relevant administrative departments will conscientiously implement the No. 6 decree of the State Economic and Trade Commission and the No. 25 document of the municipal government, adopt mandatory measures, increase enforcement efforts, prohibit companies from producing and selling disposable foam plastic tableware, and introduce relevant policies to encourage Promote the development and promotion of green snacks and replace disposable foam plastic tableware. At the same time, it called on production companies to immediately stop production and sales of disposable foam plastic tableware, and actively seek ways to overcome all difficulties, consciously solve the "white pollution" problem from the source, and develop alternative products as soon as possible. Remind consumers to further strengthen their awareness of environmental protection and health awareness. Starting from now, we will refuse to use foam plastic utensils; advocate the use of various degradable materials and green tableware.
