The war on environmental protection has begun from worldwide. Based on the European Green Accord, the EU is creating a circular economy where plastics are used, reused and recycled in a more sustainable way without creating waste or pollution. Through the European Green Accord, the EU is creating a circular economy in which plastics are used, reused and recycled in a more sustainable way without creating waste or pollution.

In this directive, member states must take measures to prevent and clean up the waste in these containers for food and beverage, the bags and cups for packaging, beverage as well as transportation. They are also required to clean up the waste such as wipes, balloons, tobacco products with filter, the filters that is combined in the sold tobacco and the fishing gear waste.

There is no doubt that the F&B industry accounts for a large proportion in following this directive. Environmental protection has increasingly become a major topic that all enterprises and even individuals need to pay attention to. When the directive comes, not only the enterprises but many consumers have felt the change of lifestyle brought by the plastic limit order. It is a test and a scramble for the enterprises to fight for the favorability of consumers.

Facing the increasingly strict environmental regulations, how should the F&B industry make an overall plan?   

1. Strengthen the environmental protection philosophy and assume social responsibility.“Share the same fate”! Pollution has become a major problem affecting the social economy and people’s well-being. And environmental protection has become a national consensus. Enterprises should assume the social responsibility of environmental protection. This is the premise of promoting social progress, maintaining social and ecological harmony.

 

2. Choose environmentally friendly tableware and respond to environmental policies. In 2018, the leading restaurant brand, Starbucks, announced to eliminate plastics straws worldwide by 2020. At the end of last year, this plan has been fulfilled in more than 4000 stores in China in advance. This has played a good leading role in the F&B industry to replace plastic straws with paper straws comprehensively. Only by working together to practice and respond the directive, we are able to contribute to the sustainability of F&B industry.

 

3. People-oriented, environmental-protected and consumer experience centered.  Although the response of the catering industry has been recognized in the short term, there are some problems in the actual implementation process. First of all, eco-friendly materials mean higher costs, thus puts business off. Second, the paper straws that are widely denunciated in the F&B industry has led to frequent complaints from consumers due to the poor user experience. Therefore, finding the tableware with high quality and reasonable price is an important problem for F&B industry to be considered.

 

Paper tableware draws public attention! It is the new favorite of environmental protection market.

At present, the production process, technology and equipment of paper pulp molded disposable catering utensils have developed rapidly in the world.
