What is the significance of the move that will require a fee for plastic bags in Japanese retail stores from July? Japanese retail stores must charge for plastic bags from July, in fact, this is also a helpless move, after all, there are many deep-seated problems in Japan now, and there are not too many ways to solve them thoroughly

1. Japanese retail stores must charge for plastic bags from July, mainly to curb pollution in the waters around Japan

The reason why Japan began to charge for plastic bags in retail stores is also a helpless move, because Japan is not as perfect as everyone thinks. They have a lot of deep-seated social problems, and Japan is a country that does a very poor job of protecting the oceans. There is now a deep plastic bag pollution in the waters around Japan, which has caused an unprecedented blow to the fish in the waters around Japan, and it is already decreasing.

If this situation continues to deteriorate, Japan's future fishing industry will be hit hard, and their economy will be affected as a result. That's why this policy will appear in Japan, in fact, they have come to this point by themselves, and there is really no way.

Second, the plastic bag fee can reduce some of the burden on the country and increase the income of some countries

There is a more important reason why Japan has to charge for plastic bags. They can't afford the free plastic bags that consume the country, which has been hit hard by the pandemic, and there is no way to host the Olympics. All of this has brought a lot of uncertainty to the Japanese economy, so Japan has begun to charge for plastic bags to more or less supplement the country's revenue.

Third, in the face of international pressure, Japan must do some environmental protection measures, otherwise the international pressure will be even greater

The Japanese have been criticized by the international community for their unscrupulous killing of all kinds of rare fish in the surrounding waters, so they will do some environmental protection measures to reduce the pressure in this regard.

The most direct impact of this move is that the use of plastic bags will be greatly reduced, which is conducive to environmental protection, and at the same time, it also arouses people's awareness of environmental protection from the opposite side.

This should be another means of environmental protection in Japan, after all, white pollution is too serious now, and plastic bags are found at the bottom of the deep sea, so white pollution must be controlled.

It can raise people's awareness of environmental protection, so that they can bring their own bags when they go out to buy groceries and contribute to the environment.

Plastic bags are charged, paper bags are not strong, the most reliable can be used in some cloth bags to load things, shopping is only temporary, there is no need to cause a lot of unnecessary waste, although the charge is not high, but the important thing is our awareness of protecting the environment.

At the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan, a policy of mandatory charging for plastic bags was adopted to achieve the purpose of environmental protection. The price of ** per plastic bag ranges from 2 to 5 yen, and the price varies slightly depending on the size and quality of the plastic bag.

Japan began to charge plastic shopping bags, about 3 to 5 yen each, which is equivalent to a few cents in yuan, which is similar to China's charging standard!

It should be charged by quantity, for example, a three cents, 100 is 30 yuan.

Japan suddenly started charging for plastic shopping bagsIn order to adapt to the global trend of reducing plastic waste in response to marine pollution.

According to Japan's Kyodo News Agency, in order to adapt to the global trend of reducing plastic waste to combat marine pollution, Japan began to require convenience stores, supermarkets, pharmacies and other retail stores to charge for plastic shopping bags on July 1.

This initiative aims to encourage shoppers to bring their own shopping bags. Currently, Japan lags behind other countries in restricting the use of plastics, and is second only to the United States in the amount of plastic waste it produces per capita.

However, environmental experts have begun to question the importance of restricting the use of plastic bags alone, as it is estimated that only 2% of the 9 million tonnes of plastic waste generated in the country each year are made up. The outbreak of the novel coronavirus may also make consumers reluctant to reuse the same shopping bag due to hygiene concerns, preferring to buy the one provided by the store.

Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Industry and Industry (MOESGI) has made it mandatory and implemented. It's not sudden, it was announced last year. The main purpose is to curb the excessive use of plastic bags, protect the environment, and curb CO2 emissions. There are also many critics in Japan, who think that this is useless.

Because the Japanese have a very strong concept of environmental protection, and they have also issued corresponding measures to reduce the use of disposable plastic bags. Therefore, many retail stores in Japan have stopped providing free plastic bags, and the charge for plastic bags is set relatively high, in order to allow people to bring their own shopping bags to shop.

This has long been implemented in our country, because in order to protect the environment, reduce the waste of resources, and cultivate good habits of the people, although the shopping plastic bags are not expensive, they will cause a lot of waste if they are provided for free.

The main reason why free plastic shopping bags are no longer provided to the public is to raise people's awareness of environmental protection.

The background of Japan's new regulations on charging for plastic shopping bags is that Japan wants to curb the overuse of plastic bags and reduce the pollution of the ocean by plastic waste.

FamilyMart and Lawson have reportedly announced that they will charge all plastic bags from July 1. The two types of convenience store chains have also narrowed down the choice of plastic bags: FamilyMart changed the number of plastic bags from seven to four, and Lawson reduced them from eight to three.

On the other hand, at 7-Eleven convenience stores, there has been a corresponding change: small, medium, and large plastic bags and bento bags are priced at 3 yen, and extra-large plastic bags are priced at 5 yen.

Behind this change is related to the revised Container and Packaging Recycling Law of Japan. According to the relevant provisions, from July 1, the retail industry in Japan will be required to provide consumers with plastic bags for a fee, and paper bags, cloth bags, and plastic bags without handles will not be included in the scope of charges. In addition, there is no charge for plastic bags with a thickness of 50 microns or 100% plastic made from biodegradable plastic in the ocean.

It is said that Japan is very environmentally friendlyFrom July 1, a new regulation will be implemented that will require retail and convenience stores across Japan to start charging for single-use plastic bags3 to 5 yen (about yuan) each, reusable plastic bags and reusable bags are not included in the charge.

It is reported that Japan's newly revised "Container and Packaging Recycling Law" stipulates that from July 1, the national retail industry will provide consumers with plastic bags for a fee, but paper bags, cloth bags, plastic bags without handles, etc. are not within the scope of charges.

In addition, there is no charge for plastic bags up to 50 microns thick and plastic bags made from 100% degradable plastic found in the ocean. In this way, Japan** hopes to curb the excessive use of plastic bags and make the lifestyle more environmentally friendly.

Not only Japan charges for plastic shopping bags, but China has also charged for plastic shopping bags in recent years, mainly because we hope that everyone will reduce the use of plastic shopping bags and produce less plastic waste.

Japan's charge for plastic shopping bags is naturally to reduce garbage pollution, protect the environment, and deal with marine pollution.

According to reports, Japan's per capita garbage emissions are second only to the United States, similar to plastic bottles, packaging bags, etc., and millions of tons of garbage flow into the ocean, causing plastic pollution, degrading plastic into the food chain, and then causing great harm to human beings. At the same time, it plays a key role in controlling CO2 emissions.

At the same time, there are two different voices in the country, some say that it is not useful at all, and some think that the implementation of environmental protection is understandable, but it will be troublesome if you go out every day to bring shopping bags. There are also people who believe that environmental issues are important, and they hope that they can start with small things that they can do on a daily basis.

The chemical composition and refractory degradation of plastic bags take a long time, so the value is relatively low, resulting in a large number of plastics not being directly entered into the environment, causing great harm to environmental pollution. If it has always been free, then everyone will use it once and throw it away, so it is still very necessary to limit plastics, and the potential value of this move is immeasurable. But the road of environmental protection is not possible overnight, we need to adhere to it for a long time, the road of environmental protection is still a long way to go, I hope these measures can lead us to a green future, what do you think?

Don't regret it when plastic takes over the planet!

I feel that bringing your own shopping bags has become the norm, and there is still a long way to go. Although plastic bags are now charged and I use them more often, it doesn't mean that I will bring my own shopping bags. Generally speaking, when there are few things, I choose not to use plastic bags, and if I buy more things, I will still spend five dimes to buy a plastic bag to use repeatedly.

Actually, no, because shopping bags are still very cheap, and many people forget to bring their own shopping bags, or don't want to bring shopping bags at all.

Domestic shopping bags have been charged for several years, and a small number of people will bring their own shopping bags. Japan is a country that attaches great importance to environmental protection, and it has become the norm for people to bring their own shopping bags in Japan.

Discarded plastic bags are of great use in planting. For example, seeds can be stored; It can play the role of heat preservation and moisturizing; It can be used for cuttings and grafting.

Discarded plastic bags are generally buried under the waste soil and cannot be degraded. Clever people can reuse plastic bags as waste, such as raising flowers and growing grass!

It can be rebuilt or made into fuel, etc., anyway, it is very useful.

Recently, Japanese convenience stores have begun to charge three yen per shopping bag, which has attracted the attention of many people, and everyone has discussed that shopping bags are so cheap, do they still need to charge? I'm afraid this convenience store wants to make money, and it's crazy. In fact, I think that if you consider the income alone, it is actually a very one-sided view.

Japan is a very clean country, although the territory of this country is very small, but the per capita quality is very high, when walking on the street, you can see a very clean road, and no one throws garbage casually, and in Japan does not advocate the use of shopping bags for shopping, people are carrying their own cloth bags for shopping, so that not only can be used many times, but also will be very convenient.

As long as there is demand, there will be production, shopping bag manufacturers understand this very well, because people have a demand for shopping, so shopping bag manufacturers can carry out marketing. In fact, we know that most of the current shopping bags are plastic bags, and shopping bags with this composition are difficult to degrade, and it will have a very long-lasting damage to the environment. In order to protect the environment, it is also feasible to charge for shopping bags.

The life of a cloth bag is very long, you can go to clean it, and then continue to use it, saving a lot of cost and facilitating life.

The main reason for the charging of shopping bags in Japanese convenience stores is an eco-friendly measure that can encourage people to choose more sustainably used cloth bags. This has a mitigating effect on global warming and sea level rise.

Although the cost is low, it still requires a cost, and the shopping bag is also garbage, nature has a limited ability to decompose the shopping bag, and the charge is also to allow people to use the same shopping bag multiple times.

Obviously, because plastic bags are white garbage, it pollutes the environment. Japan has always attached great importance to the field of environmental protection, and of course, there is a fee to make everyone produce a little less garbage and make the environment better.

This is to encourage everyone to bring their own eco-friendly shopping bags when they go to the supermarket.
