@ELIALATAT_999: When will there be an inventory of over-delivery merchants, I nominate He Fu Lo Mein. Every time it is delivered in a thermal bag, there are several flat pack gift boxes with lids inside, not everyone will use these, and finally they are discarded. Because after ordering this flat pack gift boxes with lids once, I don't want to order it again. It hurts to look at. @ Yaojia Xiaoben: A lunch box should be covered with a flat pack gift boxes with lids, a sticky note should be attached to the flat pack gift boxes with lids, and a plastic bag should be put on the outside, and a convenience note should be placed on the plastic bag. paste. I feel environmental guilt when I eat takeout. @ Compound Salted Fish Particles: I really hate flat pack gift boxes with lids under the guise of "people-oriented" and "user experience". There is a takeaway that I ordered once and stopped ordering because it requires a flat pack gift boxes with lids, a tote bag, and a tin foil carton. All the ingredients are separately packed in plastic bowls with lids. If I still use disposable utensils, the trash can is full after a meal.

   

     

4. Takeaway flat pack gift boxes with lids are so beautiful, who is paying?

    

 "Wool comes from sheep" Xiaochang was amazed at how beautiful the takeaway flat pack gift boxes with lids are: "I was thinking, a takeaway flat pack gift boxes with lids for a few 20 yuan is so beautiful, the merchant still Do you make money? Or is the cost of the meal itself very low? The key is that the casserole looks very low-quality and cheap, and I won’t use it a second time, and I will throw it away in the end.” Catering merchants do not resist the over-flat pack gift boxes with lids in takeout, and the lunch box fee is also an income for the merchant to generate profits. A senior person in the takeaway industry, who did not want to be named, told the Sino-Singapore Jingwei reporter that merchants are very motivated to make a fuss about takeaway flat pack gift boxes with lids.

The first is to strengthen brand awareness. The fancy flat pack gift boxes with lids are actually cultivating the subconscious feeling of "this takeaway is very high-grade". Secondly, to be honest, good flat pack gift boxes with lids can really guarantee the quality of meals. Many lunch boxes are specially customized after re-molding, not only the outer flat pack gift boxes with lids are more beautiful and unique, but also the material is better, and the food will not be deformed or leaked inside.

   

    

"The problem here is that most businesses now think that good flat pack gift boxes with lids are complex flat pack gift boxes with lids, big bags with small bags, big flat pack gift boxes with lids and small flat pack gift boxes with lids, It is indeed a bit excessive," the person said. So, who is paying for the over-the-top flat pack gift boxes with lids? According to the above-mentioned industry sources, these flat pack gift boxes with lids will definitely increase the cost, but the cost must be paid by consumers in the end. The person said that for merchants, almost all takeaway flat pack gift boxes with lids are profitable. At present, most of the lunch boxes on the market, even if they are slightly higher-grade such as double-layer lunch boxes, cost no more than 1 yuan, and the ordinary ones are about 4 or 50 cents. Some lunch boxes with particularly high strength and fine workmanship cost less than 2 yuan. The person also said, "At present, when it comes to takeaway flat pack gift boxes with lids, merchants are taking two extremes, or they will give you flat pack gift boxes with lids with the cheapest lunch boxes and plastic bags, which are generally small. Merchants will do this, but it is not good for consumers. Otherwise, they will give you extravagant flat pack gift boxes with lids to win word of mouth. Anyway, when consumers pay the bill, merchants with a certain brand reputation will do this. However, the lunch box The fee is the same as the price of the vegetables, and the platform must take a cut." The above information has also been confirmed by some catering businesses. San Qiang (pseudonym), the owner of a cooking restaurant, told the China-Singapore Jingwei reporter: "The common transparent plastic lunch box costs about 40 cents. For lunch boxes, the fees charged by users for lunch boxes are about 1 yuan to 1 yuan, and if the platform does not draw points, we can earn half.” Sanqiang also said that some takeaway flat pack gift boxes with lids look very good. High-end, such as double-layer lunch boxes or tin foil lunch boxes, with paper seals, bamboo chopsticks, napkins, toothpicks, and paper bags or non-woven bags for delivery, in fact, the cost of the lunch box will not exceed 3 yuan, but it charges consumers from 3 yuan to 5 yuan.

  

     

 However, not all businesses rely on meal box fees to make money. Xiaochang said that the cost of ordering a meal box with abalone and rice is 3 yuan. A reporter from Sino-Singapore Jingwei learned that the cost of the above-mentioned small casserole for abalone and rice is about 3 yuan, and the cost of tin foil plus a metal spoon is a few cents. If you add corrugated boxes and non-woven bags, the total cost has exceeded. 3 yuan. According to the analysis of the above-mentioned industry insiders, in this case, the business is just to earn word-of-mouth. After all, the behavior of taking out casserole is easy to cause discussion. Sanqiang said that in the matter of over-flat pack gift boxes with lids in take-out, the merchants also have many hidden things. "If you use ordinary lunch boxes, consumers will first think that the quality of your meals is not good. Most users still associate flat pack gift boxes with lids with the quality of meals." In addition, Sanqiang said, Some foods, such as noodles, stews and other soups, have requirements for flat pack gift boxes with lids. If you simply flat pack gift boxes with lids, if there is leakage, users will definitely give bad reviews. Anyway, the meal box fee is also paid by consumers. As long as the price is not too high, there is no problem, and consumers will not look carefully.

   

    

5. Can you accept flat pack gift boxes with lids that others have used?

    

 As for how to deal with takeaway lunch boxes and flat pack gift boxes with lids, the answer of most users is "throw it away". "After eating, I threw the lunch box, chopsticks, etc. in the plastic bag for takeaway and threw it into the trash. I didn't think about it that much," said a takeaway user. Regarding the whereabouts of these lunch boxes, Qu Ruijing, deputy director of the National Garbage Sorting and Renewable Resource Utilization Collaboration, said in an interview with Sino-Singapore Jingwei that in my country, there are three destinations for plastic disposable lunch boxes, recycling and reuse. , incineration and landfill.

Qu Ruijing said that most of the disposable lunch boxes used in my country's takeaway industry are made of PP (polypropylene) material, which has excellent mechanical and thermal properties and is suitable for flat pack gift boxes with lids for meals. But in practice, the recycling rate of plastic flat pack gift boxes with lids is extremely low. "One is because of the lack of recycling and processing bases for plastic products, and the other is because of the high cost of recycling and processing waste plastics. Therefore, these plastic wastes are either incinerated or landfilled." The above-mentioned industry insiders told the Sino-Singapore Jingwei reporter that at present The country and industry have not stipulated how to flat pack gift boxes with lids for take-out to be reasonable and standardized. In addition, the home of catering merchants "engages in service experience competition", and it is difficult to solve the problem of excessive flat pack gift boxes with lids in short-term observation. "The recycling of lunch boxes may be a good way. The takeaway platform has also planned to launch before, but there are many difficulties. The main reason is that the cost of recycling, reprocessing and recycling is too high, even more than the cost of manufacturing a new flat pack gift boxes with lids. Secondly It's the human cost," the person said. Qu Ruijing also suggested that in order to reduce the public panic that all kinds of plastic waste flow to the end, the current feasible way is to increase the recycling rate of takeaway flat pack gift boxes with lids. At the same time, he also said that there are two obstacles at present, one is whether ordinary people will accept the use of flat pack gift boxes with lids for two or more times, and the other is whether the flat pack gift boxes with lids themselves can meet the standard of recycling.

    

"Takeaway platforms, hotel merchants and flat pack gift boxes with lids manufacturers should set higher standards and make products thicker and heavier. If they are too thin and too light, ordinary people will not use them again, and neither will the renewable resources industry. To use. Although in the short term, it will increase investment, but it can increase the number of uses, which is a cost-effective environmental protection and economic account.” Qu Ruijing said.

   

     

6. Takeaway companies should take responsibility for the recycling of plastic flat pack gift boxes with lids

    

 Liu Jianguo, a professor at the Department of Environment of Tsinghua University, once suggested that it is also a feasible option to implement the extended producer responsibility system in food delivery companies, that is, food delivery companies should assume the responsibility of recycling plastic flat pack gift boxes with lids, and allocate special funds to flat pack gift boxes according to sales. boxes with lids for recycling or disposal businesses. Currently, although most plastic flat pack gift boxes with lids are printed withRecyclable signs, but due to the high recycling cost, the recycling rate of takeaway flat pack gift boxes with lids is still very low. In addition, third-party food delivery platforms should also take the initiative to fulfill corporate social responsibility. In fact, in order to reduce waste of resources, all takeaway platforms currently provide the option of "number of tableware", and users can choose the number of tableware according to their own needs or choose not to use tableware. However, many users said that this function has gradually become a "chicken rib". "I chose not to use cutlery many times, but the merchants still sent chopsticks and plastic spoons. I couldn't help it. Later, I gave up." One user said.
