The whole network discusses prefabricated dishes and new year's Eve dinner, but investors are asking: do you provide environmentally friendly lunch boxes

Approaching the Spring Festival, we can't wait to start discussing various topics such as year-end bonuses, Spring Festival holiday arrangements, annual gifts and new year's goods, while # prefabricated dishes # and 'New Year's Eve dinner' have quietly occupied a hot search, setting off an upsurge of online discussion.

Not only are we ordinary people discussing, but investors from all walks of life in the investment community are also quite enthusiastic. Almost for a period of time, they took over the 'yuanuniverse' and became the next favorite of the trading board. The realistic demand of 'busier and lazier' has prompted this 'kitchen reform', which is called the double change of 'b-end kitchen' and 'C-end lifestyle' by the industry.

Some securities companies even predict that the market size of prefabricated vegetables will reach trillion in five years.

For a time, attention soared. To what extent is it specific? You think that evergreen medical is chased by investors to ask 'does your company have prefabricated vegetables in its business scope', Renrenle, who does wholesale and retail, is also chased to ask 'is there any prefabricated vegetables business, and will it increase prefabricated vegetables in the future', and tsunyin high tech, which does crop seed research and development, is also asked 'does the company have prefabricated vegetables business', Even the child Wang, who makes children's clothes, did not let go - 'whether to consider entering the children's Prefabricated vegetable market'

I know, I know, the prefabricated vegetables really have a fire.

However, I didn't expect that I actually saw such an investor under the question of Wuzhou special paper, and directly threw out the question 'whether the company can provide packaging boxes, Bento boxes and other environmental protection packaging for prefabricated vegetables'. Fengguang was also asked, 'does the company's degradable materials business involve prefabricated vegetable packaging?'.

Wow, it's really a unique way. I'm worried about whether my 'love beans' can get the right to receive this trillion dividends.

It is worth noting that Wuzhou special paper replied to another question about 'whether your company has more price advantages and is more environmentally friendly in terms of prefabricated vegetable packaging'. Its food packaging paper uses raw wood pulp as the main raw material, which meets the requirements of environmental protection development. Moreover, its reply does point out a more obvious background at present, that is, plastic control and prohibition. Under this background, the market purchase priority of degradable plastic products will be higher.

When we call for the convenience and delicious of prefabricated dishes, environmental problems also exist synchronously. Just like when takeout became popular at the beginning, takeout packaging became a 'booster' in the new era of 'white pollution', causing serious ecological and environmental problems. Will the popularity of prefabricated dishes be a reincarnation?

Not necessarily.

Although prefabricated vegetables are popular, it is true that packaging materials will rise again to a certain extent, but now the basis of regulations and standards in the 'plastic' industry is somewhat different from that at the beginning of the popularity of takeaway.

At least, the transformation from 'plastic restriction' to 'plastic prohibition' is practical. In January 2020, the 'opinions on Further Strengthening the control of plastic pollution' officially stated that the production, sale and use of some plastic products were prohibited and restricted in an orderly manner; In September 2021, the action plan for plastic pollution control in the 14th five year plan went to the next city, requiring the source reduction, and requiring relevant departments to supervise and guide operators of commodity retail, e-commerce, catering, accommodation, etc. to implement their main responsibilities, scientifically and steadily promote plastic alternative products, and accelerate the standardized recycling and disposal of plastic waste.

Secondly, there is no doubt about the strict local supervision of 'plastic ban'. Yushu city further promoted the special action of garbage free and plastic waste reduction throughout the region; Huangshan City has taken many measures to promote the work of banning and limiting plastics; Shanxi legislates to prohibit non degradable disposable plastic products; Shaoxing City has launched a three-year action to control plastic pollution... There are countless such measures.

Moreover, the technological hard power has been significantly improved. For example, researchers at Stockholm University have created a material with characteristics similar to traditional thermosetting resin, which not only maintains the mechanical strength equivalent to existing engineering plastics, but also allows it to be thermally decomposed and reused for many times; For example, Honeywell officials announced a new plastic recycling process, upcycle, which greatly broadens the types of recyclable plastics and is expected to increase the proportion of recyclable plastic waste to 90%

Moreover, the industry has estimated that in the past five years, the average annual growth rate of China's degradable plastic consumption has reached more than 20%. In the next five years, the conservative market demand will reach about 7million tons, and may exceed 14million tons in the next 10 years. With the further decline of the cost of degradable plastic products and the further maturity of technology, what is the reason for the market to refuse?

So everything is getting better and better. Policy environment, environmental protection supervision, enterprise awareness, public awareness, as well as the virtuous cycle effect brought about by the development of degradable plastics market, will add more 'green' protection to the trillion prefabricated vegetable market.
