Ordering food delivery has become a normal life for urban people, and platforms such as Douyin have recently announced that they will join the army of food delivery. According to the data, from 2015 to 2021, the user scale of China's take-out industry as a whole showed a rapid upward trend, and the number of take-out orders increased from 1.7 billion in 2015 to 17.12 billion in 2020, and by December 2021, the number of online take-out users in China reached 544 million
The explosive growth of the take-out industry has led to an increase in plastic packaging consumption from 57,000 tons in 2015 to 574,000 tons in 2020, a nine-fold increase in five years.
Municipal People's Congress representative, Baoshan District SASAC enterprise development service center director Chen Yaping is concerned about the "fate" of take-out plastic lunch boxes one by one after a meal, these take-out lunch boxes are discarded and incinerated, or are recycled? Behind this is not only an economic account, but also an environmental account.
Material replacement is not yet smooth.
