The Assistant Director of the Hong Kong Environmental Protection Agency, Zheng Jian, said that the upcoming first -stage plastic order is limited, which has little impact on Hong Kong citizens.
According to the Hong Kong News Agency, Hong Kong's first phase of control, that is, the new legislation of discarding plastic products will be implemented on April 22, covering the discarding tableware and other plastic products.
Zheng Jian said on Monday (February 12) that the impact of new law on the daily life of citizens is limited.Because of the controlled plastic supplies, there are sufficient alternatives in the market, such as wooden knives, forks, paper drinking pipes, and wooden handle cotton sticks.
He pointed out that plastic can cause far -reaching calamities in environmental ecology and even human health.The Hong Kong Government hopes to "reduce plastic reduction" and "plastic" (without plastic) through new laws.
Zheng Jian emphasized that the citizens will not violate the law whether they buy or use control, or abandon plastic products in the future, and believe that after the citizens adapt to the use of alternatives, they will abandon plastic products on the Internet or overseas to abandon plastic products on the Internet or overseas.The intention of returning to Hong Kong will become lower and lower.
The Hong Kong Legislative Council passed the draft regulations of abandoned glue tableware and other plastic products in October last October.The control limit ordering order is implemented in two stages. In the first stage, sales are prohibited from providing foaming tableware and drinking pipes to takeaway customers.The food customers provide all nine categories, that is, abandoned gum tableware, that is, foam tableware, drinking pipes, mixing rods, discs, cups, cup lids, food containers, food containers, and eating utensils including fork, knives, and spoons.
In the second stage, all controls are fully implemented, that is, nine -type products are prohibited from selling to final consumers, and also prohibited from providing food and takeaway customers at the restaurant office. The implementation time is tentatively set to 2025.
