Weekly "plastic" delivery: Sweden now "Climate supermarket", McDonald's China's first low-carbon life experience store opened

The concept of carbon neutralization is just hot.

"Climate supermarket" appears on the streets of Sweden

Recently, a climate supermarket (The Climate Store) appeared in Stockholm, Sweden. The characteristic of the climate supermarket is that the price of goods in the store is not based on cost, but on the impact on the climate: the price of the product is determined by the carbon dioxide emitted by the product, and the higher the emission, the higher the price. In this way, supermarkets hope to encourage more shoppers to choose low-carbon plant-based foods. Supermarkets not only promote consumption with the concept of "carbon currency value", but also label each product with an easily identifiable carbon footprint label. The label has a total of four gradients. Green represents a very low climate footprint and brown represents the highest climate footprint.

Environmental protection pallets and paper straws enter the Canton Fair

Buyers pay attention to degradability

The 130th China Import and Export Commodities Fair, that is, the Canton Fair, is being held. With the concept of environmental protection deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, more and more biodegradable materials are put into research and development and production. At this year's Canton Fair, an environmentally friendly clean vegetable tray made from a potato won the highest export product design award in 2021-the Supreme Gold Award. This product, called "disposable fully degraded potato + starch + flax fiber supermarket clean vegetable tray 24.5", can be degraded naturally within 180 days under suitable natural environment and about 70 days in Guangzhou, where the temperature is high. After extensive use, the products can be converted into organic fertilizer in a suitable environment through natural composting measures, which will not cause secondary pollution to the environment.

A packaging products company in Guangzhou has opened up overseas markets with environmentally friendly paper products. Their most popular products are paper straws, which produce 600 million pieces a month. They can produce more than 7 billion pieces a year, with an annual output value of more than 90 million. Exhibitor Yang Xiang said: this kind of paper straw is very popular in Europe. The plastic is not environmentally friendly. The paper straw will naturally degrade when it falls on the ground and in the soil, so it does not cause any pollution to the environment. With the release of plastic restrictions, environmentally friendly products are becoming more and more popular. Miss Wang, a buyer from Wuhan, admitted that one of the criteria for her procurement at the Canton Fair is more environmentally friendly packaging.
