Disposable goods cause resource waste and environmental pollution - less "disposable" and more "recyclable" disposable face towels, disposable chopsticks, disposable gloves, disposable paper cups... With the accelerated pace of life and changes in people's consumption habits, cheap and convenient disposable goods are favored by some consumers. There are more and more types of disposable goods, and the use scenarios are constantly enriched, resulting in increasing pressure on the ecological environment. In recent years, China has continuously improved relevant laws and regulations, encouraged the reduction of disposable goods, scientifically promoted the application of recyclable and recyclable alternative products, and guided the public to develop a simple, moderate, green and low-carbon lifestyle. For disposable items, use should be reduced, and recycling and recycling should be strengthened. Experts believe that controlling the pollution and waste of disposable goods is a systematic project, involving design, production, consumption, recycling, treatment and other links. All sectors of society should work together to build a resource-saving and environment-friendly society. There are many kinds of disposable goods and they consume fast. "Nowadays, life is almost surrounded by disposable goods." Chen Xiaoli, a Beijing citizen, is a post-90s citizen. She was surprised when calculating the living expenses recently - the average monthly cost of purchasing disposable goods is more than 100 yuan.

Ms. Ma, who was shopping in the supermarket, said that disposable cups, bowls, chopsticks, bags and other items at home consumed quickly and needed to buy more. There are also consumers who confess that they do not want to use disposable products. On the one hand, the total cost is not low because of the variety and quantity of products they buy; On the other hand, he has developed an environment-friendly lifestyle. "It is a waste to catch up with the online shopping festival, stock up for a more cost-effective price, and idle and expired.". Relevant surveys have confirmed this complex mentality of consumers. A survey conducted by Tianjin Tonight News last year showed that nearly 80% of the respondents could hardly refuse to buy and use disposable items, and more than half had purchased disposable cleaning products through the Internet.
