With the increasingly serious problem of "environmental protection" and the national call for energy conservation and emission reduction, finding alternatives to plastics has become an important issue. For example, at the two sessions this year, Hu Jiqiang, deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of Conba Group, raised a question at the discussion site of the fourth group of the Zhejiang delegation: "Have you ever thought that if many things in our life can be replaced by bamboo, it will give What kind of changes does the environment bring?"

Bamboo can be felled every year and grow every year. It is a sustainable species. It is widely distributed in more than 20 provinces across the country and has huge resource reserves. Bamboo can be used to replace plastic products in many fields such as daily necessities and packaging. There are more than 100 series and tens of thousands of varieties of bamboo products developed.

With the improvement of production technology and craftsmanship, bamboo is not limited to replacing plastic products, but also traditional materials such as metal and cement. For example, bamboo winding composite materials, whose main raw materials are renewable and recyclable fast-growing plants, bamboo. The breakthrough in bamboo winding composite material technology makes it possible to replace steel, cement, plastic and glass with bamboo products in many fields, resulting in Very significant carbon reduction benefits.

It is understood that currently, about 150 million tons of bamboo can be felled in my country every year, 40 million tons have been used, and 110 million tons of bamboo are still idle. If all these bamboos are used and processed into bamboo-wound composite materials to replace reinforced concrete, etc., 170 million tons of carbon dioxide can be reduced every year, accounting for 1.7% of China's current annual carbon emissions. Relevant studies have shown that the annual carbon storage of 1 hectare of bamboo is 5.09 tons, which is 1.46 times that of fir and 1.33 times that of tropical rainforest.

At the same time, plastic disposable tableware is the plastic product that we most often come into contact with in our daily life. With the development of the takeaway industry, the use of disposable plastic products has also risen sharply. According to media reports, "Takeaway plastic bags fifteen The sky can cover a West Lake”, “The takeaway box thrown away in one day can pile up more than 330 Mount Everest”... If the above calculation method is used, the takeaway garbage in 2020 has become “takeaway plastic bags less than three days It can cover a West Lake", "The takeaway box can pile up 770 Everests a day.

In addition, some media found through interviews, data sorting, and calculations that in 2020, the weight of plastic waste in the national takeaway waste will be about 578,000 tons to 1.6 million tons. The harmless treatment of 1.6 million tons of plastic waste will cost about 2.45 billion yuan, and the cost will be borne by the taxes and fees paid by each of us.

The pollution of plastic products to the environment is well known. According to the statistics of urban domestic waste disposal methods in China in 2021, the current disposal methods of disposable lunch boxes are still dominated by 52% landfill and 45% incineration. Simple landfill disposal methods will lead to a large number of bacteria lurking in discarded plastic meals. The box will pollute the soil and groundwater sources for a long time, and the sulfur dioxide and dioxins released by the incineration are more likely to cause respiratory infection and physical disease of the human body, resulting in serious air pollution.

To this end, the environmental pollution caused by plastic tableware has prompted a series of policies from "plastic restriction" to "plastic ban" at home and abroad. At the same time, under the background of the global ban on plastics, new products and new technologies have emerged in the field of plant fiber lunch boxes, and its development in the new stage is facing huge opportunities.
As one of the categories of plant fiber lunch boxes, disposable bamboo fiber tableware has unique advantages. For example, resource advantages: my country has the largest bamboo forest area, the most abundant bamboo resources, and the most developed bamboo industrialization in the world; material advantages: bamboo has the characteristics of good toughness and short cultivation cycle; technical advantages: natural bamboo fiber The advantages of the material properties (good strength and toughness, large bulk ratio, moderate slenderness ratio) combined with simple pretreatment methods such as sodium sulfite and steam explosion, can prepare bamboo fiber lunch box raw materials with excellent performance.
