Capital attempt to curb disposable plastics
北京采取措施,减少一次性塑料品的使用
ON TUESDAY, the top legislature of Beijing passed a regulation on daily disposable garbage, which will come into effect on May 1, 2020. According to the regulation, fast delivery companies, hotels, and restaurants will be forbidden from using disposable plastic boxes and bags.
周二,北京市最高立法机关通过了一项生活垃圾管理条例,将于2020年5月1日生效。该条例表示,外卖公司、旅馆和饭店禁止使用一次性塑料盒和塑料袋。
It is common for people to use disposable plastic bags to wrap their breakfast on the way to office, get their meals delivered in plastic boxes, and put everything they buy from the supermarket in plastic bags.
上班时提着一次性塑料袋打包的早餐、用塑料盒装外卖、将超市购买的商品放至塑料袋中在日常生活中普遍存在。
According to a Xinhua report that quoted a garbage processing center, the amount of garbage the center has to deal with every day has grown by over 2,000 tons since last year, the main reason for that being the rapid increase in fast food deliveries.
新华社引用垃圾处理中心原话的一份报道表示,自去年以来,该中心每天要处理的垃圾量增加了2000吨以上,主要原因是外卖量的迅速增加
A look at the data from food delivery companies is more shocking. Ele.me, Meituan and Baidu, the three giants of China's fast delivery food industry, receive about 60 million orders every day. If each order contains one plastic bag and two plastic boxes, the boxes placed end to end in a line would be 2,400 kilometers long, more than 6 times the distance between the Earth's surface and the International Space Station. The plastic bags laid out together would cover 1.2 million square meters, enough to cover 168 soccer fields.
