Information Times (Reporter Wan Yu) The "Plastic Restriction Order" has already been implemented, but the neighbors generally feel that the difference after the promulgation of the "Plastic Restriction Order" is that they only buy things in many stores, and they have to pay for plastic bags. Bags are not limited, not reduced. In order to further implement the "Plastic Restriction Order", the Guangzhou Urban Management Committee has drafted the "Guangzhou Implementation of the Work Plan for Restricting the Production and Sales of Plastic Shopping Bags" (Draft for Comment), which is now open for comments, and comments can be made before May 25. In addition, in view of the lack of obvious effect of plastic restriction in bazaars before, the "Work Plan" proposes to prohibit the sale and use of plastic shopping bags with a thickness of less than 0.025 mm in the whole city. Relevant departments will strengthen comprehensive enforcement of the "plastic limit order".
According to the "Work Plan", since Guangzhou has implemented the "Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Restricting the Use of Plastic Shopping Bags for Production and Sales", significant results have been achieved in the restriction of plastics in supermarkets and shopping malls, but the effect of plastic restriction in bazaars is not obvious.
It is mentioned in the "Work Plan" that relevant departments will conduct regular or irregular inspections and spot checks in various bazaars, strengthen the comprehensive law enforcement of the "plastic restriction order", and improve the supervision system for the implementation of the "plastic restriction order". The sale and use of plastic shopping bags with a thickness of less than 0.025 mm is prohibited across the city.
Encourage bazaars to use plastic bags with standard thickness, environmental protection requirements, and easy disposal for a fee, and implement "one bag for dual purposes", that is, packaging shopping bags can be reused as garbage bags. Combined with the current needs of promoting community garbage classification, explore the feasibility of promoting the use of degradable plastic bags in this city.
The plan also mentions that companies that can actively participate in the implementation of the "plastic restriction order" (supermarkets, shopping malls, bazaar operators, environmentally friendly plastic bag manufacturers, etc.) will receive appropriate rewards or subsidies.
