In order to thoroughly solve the "white pollution", the PS foam plastic tableware take limited or disable local measures is beyond reproach, but the problem is banned after what should replace? Although everywhere in recent years to study alternatives, and launched a paper pulp molding tableware, tableware, light / biodegradable polypropylene (PP) tableware, inorganic powder material filled PP and multi-layer tableware, starch (or edible powder) tableware and so on, but these alternatives tableware, some technology is not yet fully mature or small scale production; some application performance or health performance there are still many problems, and has long been widely favored by the vast number of consumers of cheap PS foam tableware beauty, in addition to the easily degradable or after treatment, the basic conditions such as mechanical properties, thermal insulation, health and safety is very inferior; some of the high price of 1-3 times higher than PS foam, according to the laws of the market is very difficult to get consumer recognition, which brings great difficulty to the application. The fast food packaging industry in our country, there are no goods in the lean, embarrassing situation. In order to meet the market rules, some enterprises not from their own tap potential, improve quality, reduce costs, but to take Jerry building approach. And because of lax enforcement of the law, lack of supervision, resulting in zhicijiagao alternative products flooding the market, causing consumers on the part of the alternative products serious dissatisfaction with the negative effects. Present paper pulp molding tableware and light / biodegradable PP tableware production and consumption larger, accounting for about 60%, the former mainly used in railway train, according to tableware joint network collaborative technology supervision bureau checks results show, a considerable portion of the pulp molding tableware evaporation check seriously overweight, does not meet the health requirements, and permeability oil, seepage and deformation phenomenon is serious. Light / biodegradable PP tableware are mainly used in most parts of the country the fast food industry and restaurants, but some manufacturers of these products in order to reduce costs and add a lot of inorganic powder material (such as calcium carbonate, talc powder), resulting in mechanical properties of unqualified, evaporation residue severely overweight, some excessive up to 200 times. What is more, some unscrupulous businessmen seize the PS foam plastic tableware comprehensive is disabled, a considerable part of the alternative quality and high price, supply market opportunity, the production and sale of counterfeit and shoddy tableware, under the banner of "under the banner of environmental protection tableware, to fish in troubled waters, deceive consumers, resulting in many alternatives promises to the people, food packaging market presents confusion on the quality and price of the situation."
According to the relevant departments to investigate and statistics, at present the country's annual food consumption of 120 or so, instant noodles bowl 30 only, a one-time cup 80 million, a one-time tray of 50, a total of about, about 280. But the market supply of tableware, qualified replacement tableware only 20-30%, PS plastic foam tableware accounted for 20%, of which more than half of unqualified products, so it is difficult to meet the requirements in terms of both quality and quantity. Another according to the survey, Beijing disposable tableware daily dosage of more than 200 million, annual consumption of 700 million or so, at present PS foam plastic tableware still accounts for 20% of the market share, and in line with the hygiene requirements of environmental protection tableware only 21%, the quality problems especially hygiene safety of tableware accounted for 60%. From the above analysis and research data can be seen in our country at present the relationship between supply and demand in the food packaging industry is more serious, more problems, how to solve is the leading department must pay attention to and fast food packaging industry must face and the vast number of consumers are very concerned about the problem.
