Guide: In July, together with the garbage sorting, Shanghai Travel Accommodation Industry is not allowed to provide “six small pieces”, namely toothbrushes, combs, bath wipes, razors, nail files and shoe wipes. For the use of disposable products, many places only stay at the level of “advocacy”. This regulation has increased the management intensity, and the offender will be fined a maximum of 5,000 yuan. It is only a transition that is required to provide 'not active', and more industries will be deployed in the future to achieve waste reduction.

What makes the community residents confused is the “dry and wet garbage classification”. People who are on a business trip or tourism are unwilling to accept that the accommodation industry will not provide six small disposable items. This July, Shanghai Waste Management Regulations smashed the circle of friends. The Pa Ping hot search list has become a hot topic for people across the country.

Explicitly requires 'not to provide'

The 'Regulations on the Management of Domestic Waste in Shanghai' clearly states that the so-called 'small pieces' that are not offered by the initiative are toothbrushes, combs, bath wipes, razors, nail files and shoe wipes. The person in charge of the Legal Work Committee of the Shanghai Municipal People's Congress Standing Committee said in an interview with the media that the regulations restrict the use of disposable items, not to provide them, but to require businesses not to provide them on their own initiative. If consumers have requirements, they can ask for offers. “Improving the rigidity of domestic waste source reduction measures” is the original intention of the use of disposable articles in the regulations.

For the use of disposable items, many places still only stay at the “advocacy” level. As early as more than a decade ago, Shanghai and Beijing clearly proposed that star-rated hotels should cancel disposable supplies. This time, Shanghai increased its management efforts and proposed that the offenders would be fined 5,000 yuan at the highest level. Under the idea of Shanghai. Beijing has also proposed an upgraded version of the “one-time items” restriction: “Prohibiting the use of disposable items by government agencies” as an organ, taking the lead in the environmental protection era and taking the lead in taking social responsibility is of guiding significance.

Waste source reduction begins with the accommodation industry

Ma Yong, deputy secretary general of the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation, said that from the perspective of environmental protection, the use of disposable items will mainly bring about two kinds of harms: resource waste and environmental pollution. Compared with disposable paper cups, hotels and other plastic products are more difficult to degrade and recover. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the turnover of China's accommodation industry has increased from 280 billion yuan to 396.3 billion yuan, with a growth rate of about 42%.

Du Liangliang, general manager of the domestic platform of Ctrip's residential business group, said that the number of guest rooms in the hotel industry in the country is between 13 million and 15 million. According to the occupancy rate of 50%, it is conservatively estimated that at least 6.5 million sets of disposable products are used and discarded every day in the country. The use of disposable items such as hotel hotels may give inconvenience to the user and reduce the user experience. However, it is a powerful measure to achieve waste reduction. If it is not controlled now, it will not only waste resources, but also Affect the environment, causing more serious and irreversible consequences.

The ban on accommodation is only a transition, and may involve industries such as catering and express delivery in the future.

“Source reduction”, disposable items are closely related to daily life, and restricting their use is conducive to raising the awareness of garbage reduction in the whole society. “Not providing it” is just the initial stage of restricting the use of disposable products. It is only a transition from the accommodation industry. It is not surprising that the “180 major shift” prohibits the use of such products over time. The data shows that the development of emerging industries such as take-out and express delivery has risen in a straight line, and disposable packaging boxes and disposable packaging bags should also attract attention.

Not providing one-off items will be the trend of the times, and it is also the need of ecological civilization construction. With the increasing attention to the garbage problem and the deepening of the new life of green life, many small things that are ignored and habits will be changed. The restricted use of disposable items in the lodging industry has been targeted at the national level. In the future, it is very likely that special rules will be set up for express delivery and take-out, and more detailed regulations on the reduction and ban of disposable items will be made.
