1. The part directly related to plastic bags in the policy interpretation of "Opinions on Further Strengthening the Treatment of Plastic Pollution"


1. Main goals


· By 2022, in the prominent areas of plastic pollution and emerging areas such as e-commerce, express delivery, and food delivery, a batch of replicable and extendable plastic reduction and green logistics models will be formed.


2. Prohibit or restrict the production and sales of some plastic products


Prohibit the production and sale of ultra-thin plastic shopping bags with a thickness of less than 0.025 mm


3. Prohibit and restrict the use of some plastic products


· 1. Non-degradable plastic bags


By the end of 2020, the use of non-degradable plastic bags in shopping malls, supermarkets, pharmacies, bookstores and other places in urban built-up areas in municipalities, provincial capitals, and cities separately designated in the plan, as well as food and beverage take-out services and various exhibition activities, is prohibited, and the fair market regulates and restricts use Non-degradable plastic bags;


By the end of 2022, the scope of implementation will be expanded to all built-up areas in cities above the prefecture level and county-level built-up areas in coastal areas; by the end of 2025, the use of non-degradable plastic bags in the bazaars in these areas will be prohibited. Encourage places where conditions permit to stop using non-degradable plastic bags in places such as urban-rural fringe areas, townships, and rural markets.


· Express plastic packaging


By the end of 2022, postal express outlets in Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and other provinces and cities will first prohibit the use of non-degradable plastic packaging bags, disposable plastic woven bags, etc., to reduce the use of non-degradable plastic tape.


By the end of 2025, non-degradable plastic packaging bags, plastic tapes, and disposable plastic woven bags will be banned in postal express outlets nationwide.


4. Promote and apply alternative products and models


· Promote the application of degradable packaging bags


In shopping malls, supermarkets, pharmacies, bookstores and other places, promote the use of environmentally friendly cloth bags, paper bags and other non-plastic products and biodegradable shopping bags, and encourage the installation of self-service and intelligent delivery devices to facilitate people's lives.


Promote the use of degradable packaging bags for fresh products. Establish a centralized buying and selling system for shopping bags in the bazaar. Promote the use of bio-based products such as straw-coated lunch boxes that meet performance and food safety requirements, and alternative products such as biodegradable plastic bags in the field of food delivery.


· Cultivate and optimize new business forms and new models


Strengthen corporate green management responsibilities and promote green supply chain. E-commerce, food delivery and other platform companies should strengthen the management of merchants settled in, formulate implementation plans for reducing the amount of disposable plastic products, and release the implementation status to the society.


Focusing on chain supermarkets, large-scale bazaars, logistics warehousing, e-commerce express delivery, etc., promote enterprises to actively promote recyclable and foldable packaging products and logistics distribution equipment through equipment leasing, financial leasing, and other methods.


5. Improve the support and guarantee system


· Establish and improve regulations and standards.


Update and release the banned list of plastic products in due course.


Formulate green design guidelines for plastic products.


Formulate and revise standard labels for degradable materials and products.


Establish and improve the green management and evaluation standards of enterprises in emerging fields such as e-commerce, express delivery, and food delivery.


Research on the classification and evaluation of packaging suitability of commodities with prominent packaging problems, and propose differentiated management measures.


Incorporate the management and control requirements of disposable plastic products into the evaluation and rating standards of tourist attractions, star-rated hotels and hotels


Explore the establishment of a production and sales information disclosure system for plastic raw materials and finished products.


Explore the implementation of corporate legal persons’ promises and punishments for dishonesty, and include illegal production, sales, and use of plastic products in the record of dishonesty.


· Improve relevant support policies


Implement relevant fiscal and taxation policies and increase government procurement of green products that meet the standards. Carry out pilot demonstrations such as the construction of a new green supply chain, the promotion of new products and new models, and the recycling of waste agricultural film.




According to relevant policies, we also launch corresponding alternative products


[Starch-based fully degradable plastic bag/starch bio-based fully degradable plastic bag]


Material content:


1. Ingredients: starch bio-based fully biodegradable resin, ingredients PBAT+PLA+ST


2. Ingredient content: PBAT content 60-70%, PLA content 5-15%, ST content 15-35%;


PBAT:


① Thermoplastic biodegradable plastic is a copolymer of butylene adipate and butylene terephthalate;


② Features:


· Good ductility and elongation at break;


· Better heat resistance and impact performance;


· Excellent biodegradability, which is very active in the research of biodegradable plastics and one of the best degradable materials for market applications;


PLA:


① Polylactic acid, a new type of biodegradable material, is made from starch raw materials extracted from renewable plant resources (such as corn).


② Process: Starch raw materials are saccharified to obtain glucose, which is then fermented by glucose and certain strains to produce high-purity lactic acid, and then a certain molecular weight polylactic acid is synthesized by chemical synthesis. Process: starch→glucose→lactic acid→polylactic acid


③ Features:


· Good biodegradability, after use, it can be completely degraded by microorganisms in nature, and eventually carbon dioxide and water are generated without polluting the environment. This is very beneficial to environmental protection and is recognized as an environmentally friendly material.


· Good mechanical and physical properties, suitable for blow molding, thermoplastic and other processing methods, easy to process, and widely used. Applications related to us include: packaged food, fast food lunch boxes, non-woven fabrics, etc.


· Good gloss and transparency, comparable to films made of polystyrene, which cannot be provided by other biodegradable products.


· Polylactic acid is the only biodegradable plastic with excellent antibacterial and antifungal properties.


· During incineration, its combustion calorific value is the same as that of incineration paper, which is half that of incineration of traditional plastics (such as polyethylene), and incineration of polylactic acid will never release toxic gases such as nitrides and sulfides. The human body also contains lactic acid in the form of monomer, which shows the safety of this decomposable product.


5. ST: starch






This product has no distinction between high pressure membrane and low pressure membrane


About degradation:


1. Degradation conditions and principles: contact with microorganisms;


2. Degradable: because this plastic has undergone process modification;


3. Under the conditions of industrial composting, it can be completely converted into carbon dioxide, water and macromolecular inorganic substances within 180 days without leaving any substances harmful to the soil.


4. Under ordinary landfill conditions, shopping bags can also be completely degraded within 1-2 years (the specific time depends on the thickness of the bag).


5. Products and raw materials have been tested by international and domestic authoritative organizations and have obtained testing certification.




Notes on the use of biodegradable plastic shopping bags


1. Regarding the performance of shopping bags, fully biodegradable materials must ensure 100% biodegradability
