Focus on "treating white" and "whitening"

In the seventies and eighties of the last century, due to the large number of imported soft plastic packaging technology and equipment, the production of low-cost, easy-to-process, and easily-applicable soft plastic packaging products was welcomed by the general public. In particular, disposable foam plastic tableware and plastic film shopping bags are rapidly gaining popularity. However, due to people's use, they are discarded, causing such waste litter to soar. In particular, along the railway line, there are discarded white foam plastic fast food boxes and film bags all over the place. This has caused the destruction of the environment, which is called white pollution, and has aroused people’s serious concern, and called for the relevant parties to pay close attention.

The "white" and "white" were formally proposed by government departments in the late 1990s. The Ministry of Railways issued the first order on July 1, 1996, prohibiting the use of disposable plastic lunch boxes in the national railway system; the "six departments" of the Beijing Municipal Government issued a joint notice on December 22, 1997, since January 1998. From 1st onwards, the city banned the use of foam plastic lunch boxes and plastic film shopping bags with a thickness of less than 0.015mm. On May 1, 1999, Beijing again issued a “Government Order,” and the city prohibited the use of plastic film shopping bags under 0.025mm.

The large-scale "whitening" and "whitening" carried out nationwide was on November 9, 1998. The State Environmental Protection Administration has convened a joint meeting of relevant ministries and commissions and proposed that the use of 1-2 years from July 1, 1999, completely eliminate the disposable plastic lunch boxes in the country; on February 2, 1999, the former State Economic and Trade Commission officially released Order No. 6" requires the nation to completely phase out disposable plastic lunch boxes before the end of 2000. At the same time, most of the provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions throughout the country and related industry management departments have issued notices, injunctions, and organized bans. As a result, the campaign to “ban white” and “white ban” was banned in the country for banned foam plastic lunch boxes and ultra-thin plastic film shopping bags.

Today, China’s “whitening” and “white prohibition” have developed over time and entered the third year of the 21st century. Judging from the current progress, it is estimated that over time, it is difficult to achieve an "eight-year war" against the expected goal.

According to the relevant information, some developed countries in the world, such as the United States, Japan, and Western Europe, still use a lot of products for such products. The use of soft plastic packaging materials in these countries accounted for more than half of the total flexible packaging materials. At the end of the 1990s, the demand for flexible packaging materials in the United States was 2,038 kt, accounting for 71.3% of the total demand for flexible packaging; in Europe, it was 70%. And at present, these countries continue to grow at a rate of 4% each year. However, such a large amount of consumption has not caused such "white pollution" as our country is serious. According to statistics, in the seventies and eighties of the last century, such pollution occurred in Western countries, but as they promptly took effective measures, they took immediate steps and quickly cured. According to reports, their approach was to focus on governance and did not prohibit production and use. The governments of these countries, on the one hand, formulate incentives to improve products and develop new alternative products on the one hand; on the other hand, they strive to organize effective recovery measures. Governments at all levels shall formulate detailed and explicit regulations and policies for disposal and recycling in light of local conditions. Heavy investment encourages research on recycling and reuse. At the same time, they have conducted effective education on environmental protection and environmental laws and regulations; vigorously raised the people’s awareness of environmental protection and formed a good fashion in the country that protects the environment, strictly enforces the law, consciously abides by the law, and abides by the law.

Regarding similar issues, some of our management departments did not make great efforts to organize investigations and research, encourage improvement and advance legislation before launching “white governance” and “white ban”. Instead, they first engaged in ordering bans.

If you say that these products may have some disadvantages, but without losing value. Moreover, they have the characteristics of easy processing, low cost, low cost, light weight, and applicability. They are very popular among the broad masses of common people and are incomparable to other products. Some have accused them of being toxic, but there is no real basis for scientific detection. In the past six or seven years, there has been no clear understanding so far, and no government department at any level has actually organized inspections and announced official conclusions. As for saying "putting it in the ground and burying it in the ground, it will not affect the soil quality and pollute the environment for years." This can be said to be the characteristics of the product and should not be their culpability. The real responsibility is that people should not throw and bury it underground. The government and management departments should focus their efforts on environmental protection education and legislation. They should actively organize and formulate measures for the recovery and reuse of waste, and encourage the development of new alternative products.

In fact, some of the so-called perishable and easily degradable wastes, such as leftovers, melons, and vegetables, are not strictly managed, thrown everywhere and are also polluting the environment. And more harmful. Because of this kind of garbage, the weather is slightly warmer and it will rot and stench. It not only damages the environment, pollutes the air and water, but also breeds a large number of mosquitoes, flies and poisonous insects and spreads diseases. Therefore, the problem does not depend entirely on whether a product can rot or degrade naturally. The key lies in whether the local government can seize the essence of the problem, adopt legislation and publicity and education, effectively manage people's behavior, and completely dispose of and dispose of garbage according to regulations and requirements. Otherwise, we cannot always order to prohibit people from eating, and not to plant fruits and vegetables!

Of course, as an environmental protection, it should be no matter what kind of thing it is, or what color it is. If it causes pollution or destroys the environment, it must be treated. Governance is fundamental. For some products that are not conducive to environmental protection, there is no room for improvement, and there is no use value, the prohibition of production and bans are also a method of treatment, but they must be strictly controlled. For example, foamed plastics and soft plastic film packaging materials products may be more effective than arresting and punishing if the focus is on prevention and improvement. According to information, in this respect, foreign countries have relatively mature experiences in recycling, processing technologies and corresponding laws and regulations. If you organize, study, and study in a timely manner, you may be able to take fewer detours.

In short, the key to environmental protection and governance is to focus on the work of people. The most fundamental thing is to fully launch and rely on the support of the general public and work together. The majority of the masses’ environmental awareness and self-conscious behavior will depend largely on the significance of environmental protection and pollution control by the government and leaders, including the content, implementation methods, relevant laws and regulations, and the government’s public education work.

Looking back at the past, most of the work we did in "whitening" and "whitening" was to ban more than cure. In some places, even bans are used to rule for punishment. More notices, bans, red-headed documents and fines are used instead of intensive ideological work. Due to the lack of publicity and education work, the people’s awareness of ideology and self-discipline is not high, and they lack the concept of environmental protection. They still throw litter and throw litter. At present, this phenomenon still exists. It is just outside the Fourth Ring Road in Beijing. There are roadsides and canals around the townships, towns, villages and residential areas in the outskirts of the city. It can be seen everywhere that there are white foam plastic lunch boxes in large and small garbage dumps. Foam cushions, as well as pink, blue and black film bags. In the nearby food stalls, rice shops, and residential areas, non-white garbage such as leftovers, leftovers, melon peels, and rotten vegetables, etc. are even more polluted. They are even more harmful to environmental protection and human health, and should be treated more urgently. , prohibit littering, disorderly behavior.

So I insist that the fundamental cause of environmental pollution and environmental damage is people's littering and littering. And it is in waste and garbage. What's more, it's not whether they can rot quickly, degrade naturally and become poisonous. To be sure, if there is no litter or litter, this pollution will not happen. In fact, propaganda and education for the general public are also governance. And it is the most important and fundamental rule. If the work of propaganda and education is truly accomplished, it will reach not only a household name, but also all women and children. Everyone can be proud of not throwing miscellaneous things or throwing garbage at random, consciously, self-disciplined, throwing, dumping garbage and disposal according to regulations. Property and whitening work will certainly have remarkable results.

Another important reason for the unfavorable development of "white" and "white" is the lack of detailed and strict legal basis. That is, regarding the leadership, the work on the formulation of relevant laws on "whitening" and "whitening" is not in place. Even now, there are many aspects, such as the use of packaging materials, waste disposal, hygiene of food packaging materials, safety and regulations on recycling, etc., that lack systematic and detailed legal basis. In particular, there is a lack of laws on packaging and human health, packaging and environmental protection. Therefore, it is difficult for law enforcement agencies to regulate the behavior of people according to law in the production and use of such products. At the end of the last century, there was a sensational “packaging lawsuit” in Shanghai. In the end, the outcome of “unfinished” was a powerful explanation. It can also be said that the "white" and "white" laws are inconclusive. As a state agency and government leadership, in vigorously advocating "science and education to rejuvenate the country" and "rule by law" today, we must do as much as we can to do practical investigations and studies as much as we can to implement the "three represents" as a benchmark. We must attach importance to and earnestly implement legislation and law enforcement to ensure the smooth development of all tasks.

Serious and meticulous scientific analysis and argumentation are not in place. It is also an important reason for the unfavorable development of "whitening" and "whitening."

Prior to the implementation of "whitening" and "white ban", relevant leaders and management departments should first conduct meticulous investigations and investigations on the underlying causes of pollution, the characteristics and traits of related pollutants, and carry out serious scientific tests. And through a series of preparatory work such as argumentation and evidence collection by experts in various fields. However, in these important tasks, from the implementation process of “whitening” and “whitening,” the work is not only not in place, but it is not enough, and even some do not do it at all. The most prominent and crucial issue is that people who have been working for “whitening” and “whitening” have been working for six or seven years. Today, people (including some leading departments) have not really figured out what foam is. The lunch box and the film bag are not really toxic. The government’s leadership has not officially announced or confirmed so far, and there are still no authoritative conclusions so far.

"Treat whiteness" should definitely be an aspect of managing environmental pollution. Because no matter white or black, anything that harms the environment and causes pollution must be treated. However, the prohibition of production and use requires careful study and the organization of experts and scholars in various fields. Make the conclusion of scientific argument that must be banned. Pass legislation and implement it according to law. The administrative department must not rashly order. Just like the "ban", the plastics industry association and a large number of experts have so far issued different opinions. Moreover, most people in the society do not understand and are unwilling to implement the "ban". In this case, ordering a hard ban is difficult to be effective.

In fact, if this matter is seriously done, it is not too difficult. Only the government leaders should well organize relevant industries, enterprises, research institutes, experts and scholars, work with relevant quarantine and inspection units to conduct labor divisions, conduct serious inspections, analysis, demonstration, and evidence collection, and they will be able to thoroughly understand and draw correct conclusions. . Although this may be more troublesome and difficult than issuing notifications and the next ban, the development of this work can be carried out smoothly and with fruitful results based on the scientific evidence.

The above is only a discussion of the current topic of how to deal with "white" and "ban". These opinions will be verified by practice.
