“Then tell me, where should I buy it?” In a food-eating alliance store specializing in snacks, the clerk asked the reporter such a question.
The “Plastic Prohibition Order” came into effect on January 1st this year, but there are many problems surrounding degradable plastic bags. During these two days’ visits to supermarkets, pharmacies and shopping malls, many shop assistants showed reporters the environmental protection plastic bags they are using now, but the reporters found that the signs on these plastic bags are quite different.
According to the technical experts of Ningbo Quality Inspection Institute, most of the common biodegradable plastic bags in the market are biodegradable plastic bags. According to the definition of the national standard of biodegradable plastic shopping bags, biodegradable plastic shopping bags are required to be made of biodegradable resin as the main raw material, and the biodegradation rate is over 60%. In order to identify clearly, you can check whether there is a “jj” mark on the plastic bag.
During interviews with some shopping malls, supermarkets and pharmacies, the reporter found that the degradable plastic bags used in Ningbo market are various.
In Neptune Health Pharmacy, the clerk took out a new roll of plastic bags from the counter. At first glance, it seems different from before, but the implementation standard of plastic bags is not GB/T38082-2019, but GB/T21661-2008.
In Rosen convenience store, the clerk said that all the degradable plastic bags used in the store have been replaced, and it can be found that there is no “jj” mark on the plastic bags used.
Later, during a visit to other supermarkets and pharmacies, the reporter found that the so-called environmental protection plastic bags being used in the stores are marked as (PE-LD)-St20, (PE-HD)-CAC 0360 … and the implementation standards printed on these plastic bags are also different.
According to incomplete statistics, there are more than ten kinds of so-called “degradable plastic bags” that can be bought in Ningbo at present, but most of them do not have the “jj” logo, nor do they adopt the prescribed national standard for biodegradable plastic shopping bags, and even some so-called environmentally friendly plastic bags are blank without any logo.
In addition to the “degradable plastic bags” circulating offline, many merchants also sell “degradable plastic bags” on the Internet, among which many merchants deliver goods from Ningbo. However, after clicking on the product details page, it can be found that although “degradable plastic bags” and “environmental protection plastic bags” are written in the title bar, there is no “jj” logo on the so-called degradable plastic bags sold by merchants.
In terms of price, the pricing of each business is also quite different. The price range of each “degradable plastic bag” is generally from 0.2 yuan to 1 yuan, and the price varies according to the size of the plastic bag. The price of degradable plastic bags sold online is cheaper, and the price of 100 plastic bags with a size of 20cm× 32cm is only that of 6.9 yuan.
But it is worth noting that the production cost of degradable plastic bags is higher than that of ordinary plastic bags. Generally speaking, the cost of degradable plastic bags is about 3 times that of ordinary plastic bags.
