With ever increasing
attention paid to environment and the realization of hazards done by
environment destruction, it has become a common concern of the world
today. To protect environment, governments of all countries have taken
at least some measures to make changes for the better, they have made
laws to prohibit or limit the use of EPS material and provide substitute
of EPS by molded pulp paper products. Chinese government also enacted
"Solid Waste Environment Protection Act" in Apr 1st 1996 to
diminish the volume and eliminate the hazards of solid waste, which,
instead of being non-degradable, should be a recyclable source. Molded
pulp paper products is an ideal choice for substitute of EPS. It is
the duty of every one of us to protect environment, and it is also the
conscience that every entrepreneur bears to the human kind.
