Shanghai: Non-woven shopping bags in supermarkets have gradually become 'protagonists'

In the two weeks since the'plastic restriction order' was implemented, the use of plastic shopping bags in major supermarket chains in Shanghai has dropped by about 80%, and non-woven eco-friendly shopping bags have gradually become the'protagonist'.　　 Most consumers who go to the supermarket to shop have their own non-woven bags, folding shopping carts, and even traditional bamboo baskets. Many consumers who choose to buy plastic shopping bags at checkout are not used to it and forgot to bring their own shopping bags. Some young people pass the supermarket after get off work and come in to buy something. However, many supermarkets have quietly taken action to not only reduce the supply of roll-to-roll bags, but also to place them near the weighing platform to avoid abuse and abuse by some consumers. When the'plastic limit order' was first implemented, the roll-up bags provided by supermarkets for packaging vegetables and fruits once became a substitute for plastic shopping bags, and consumption soared.　　 Lianhua Supermarket used to consume about 10,000 plastic shopping bags every day, but recently it has dropped to about 2,000. Data from Carrefour also shows that in the past two months, the consumption of plastic shopping bags in supermarkets has dropped significantly, with an average drop of about 80%, and the consumption of plastic shopping bags in some stores has dropped by 90%. At the same time, the sales of non-woven fabrics, nylon, denim and other environmentally friendly shopping bags have gradually increased. It is understood that at present, the Shanghai industry and commerce department is organizing forces to carry out special law enforcement inspections on the sales and use of plastic shopping bags in supermarkets, shopping malls, bazaars and other retail places. punish
