Sectoral dynamics
It's a bit difficult to charge for hospital medicine bags
By June 1st, the "Plastic Restriction Order" will be three years old. At present, it is mainly aimed at supermarkets, shopping malls and farmers' markets. Officials from the Ministry of Commerce said that the plastic restrictions will be extended to restaurants, hospitals and other places. The reporter visited a number of hospitals and restaurants in the city yesterday. Many hospitals said that they had reduced the use of plastic bags in hospitals before the plastic restrictions were imposed three years ago. If the relevant departments restrict plastics below, they will follow them. Compared with the hospital's initiative to limit plastics, restaurants often say it is difficult to implement.
The consumption of plastic bags in supermarkets is reduced by 2/3.
At present, the "plastic restriction order" is mainly aimed at supermarkets, shopping malls and farmers' markets. Yesterday, some media reported that plastic bags in supermarkets have been reduced by more than 2/3 in the past three years. The reporter visited Jusco, Trust-Mart, Wal-Mart and other supermarkets and found that more than half of the customers used shopping bags, and a few spent money on plastic bags. However, in the farmer's markets such as Lianhua Road, Nandi and Hua 'an, plastic bags are provided free of charge for meat and vegetable stalls. An official from the Ministry of Commerce said that the scope of plastic restrictions will be expanded, including restaurants, hospitals and other places. "We are stepping up investigation and research and soliciting public opinions."
Many hospitals use paper-plastic bags for charging.
According to the relevant person in charge of the health department, after the introduction of the plastic limit order, hospitals are also responding to the plastic limit. Many hospitals in the city have changed their medicine bags (used to hold bulk tablets) into paper plastic bags, which can not only reduce the use of plastics, but also avoid the shortcomings that all-paper bags are not moisture-proof. However, the relevant person in charge of the Second Hospital of the City also said that the implementation rules of the plastic limit order have not been issued at present, and it will be difficult if the charging bags of bulk drugs are charged after plastic limit. "Because doctors prescribe many kinds of drugs, one medicine is a medicine bag, which will obviously increase the patient's cost."
Fast food restaurants fear that customers are "stingy"
The reporter learned from a number of catering enterprises in the city that they hardly support the plastic limit. "The current lunch box costs one yuan, and some customers are not willing. If the outer packaging bag is charged, it is estimated that the acceptance will be lower." According to Miss Kim, the owner of a Korean restaurant.
In addition, fast food restaurants are much more difficult to implement than large restaurants. According to the deliveryman of Gongyi Road Liyuan Roast Taste, hundreds of lunch boxes are sent every day. If you charge according to the size like a supermarket, it is estimated that customers are not willing to "be forced to spend".
