The main material for making gel pens is polystyrene or modified polystyrene, which are known for their resistance to aging and corrosion. A large number of discarded gel pens and refills are likely to become another environmental killer after white garbage and used batteries. “Do you still remember the age of using a pen?†Once upon a time, having a shiny pen was a dream for many people, but now the pen that was originally “noble†has been used by a large number of disposable gel pens (also known as signatures). Replaced by pen). You may not know that while the gel pen is convenient for people, it also quietly hurts our living environment. Today, with the promotion of “low-carbon lifeâ€, more and more environmentalists have called for the waste of throwing a gel pen and causing a heavy waste on the environment. Can it be as limited as a disposable plastic bag? What is a limited gel pen? Pens are less popular, and the amount of neutral pens is amazing. On the morning of the 9th, the reporter saw in the stationery area of ​​a large supermarket near Quancheng Square that all kinds of gel pens accounted for “half of the pens†in the pen-type exhibition area, in which a cheap gel pen sold one or two yuan. Several packages are packaged together, selling for about a dozen yuan, and the colors are various, while the pen area next to them is only sold by a few brands of pens. “The sales ratio of our company's pen and gel pen is about 1:10. Nowadays, primary school students and junior high school students are still using pens. Others basically use gel pens.†Sales staff of Jinan Wenyuyuan Stationery Co., Ltd. Mr. Wang told reporters that the gel pen was listed in the mid-1990s. At that time, the price was relatively high, and the number of people used was not much. After 2000, the price of the gel pen fell to three or four yuan and began to be used in large quantities. Jinan Sanxing Stationery Co., Ltd. has conducted an investigation on the Jinan gel pen market. The sales manager of the company, Mr. Kong, told the reporter that it is conservatively estimated that Jinan will consume at least 3 million pens in one year. These gel pens are basically used up. They were thrown into the trash. Brand pens have been "gifted" The reporter found that the number of fine pens with relatively few brands and outstanding brands has a certain market. At present, high-end pens have changed from writing tools to gifts. In some large shopping malls and supermarkets in the provincial capital, some well-known brands of pens are often expensive. In the stationery counter on the second floor of the Ginza Mall in Wuyuan Street, the reporter saw that the most expensive Parker pen sold for 15,888 yuan. The salesperson said that the pen is a limited edition in the world and is cast with 18K gold. It is very suitable for comparison. A noble gift is given. In this counter, the price of pens generally ranges from a few hundred yuan to several thousand yuan. There are several kinds of pens like this one million yuan. According to reports, although the sales of such aristocratic pens are not large, there are also fixed high-end consumer groups in the provincial capital. Mr. Wang from Jinan Wenyuyuan Stationery Co., Ltd. told reporters that the people who used pens in the past have already had a diversion. Now primary and secondary school students and high-end people are the two main consumer groups. Like high-end people, they mainly use famous brand pens. The price is several thousand yuan. Even tens of thousands of yuan, ink, ink bottles must be the same product, the price is also thousands of dollars; while primary and secondary school students are the main consumer of low-end pens, pens below 30 yuan is their first choice. A large number of discarded gel pens became environmental killers "Now the gel pen is too easy to break. It won't go into the water in a few days. There is no normal recycling route. Don't lose it. How to deal with it?" Ms. Yang, who works in a media office in the provincial capital, said at her colleague's desk. In the pen holder, almost all of the pens that could not be used were inserted. When sorting drawers or desks, these discarded gel pens are often thrown directly into the trash can. “Any discarding of the refill will cause soil and water pollution.†Su Jixin, a teacher at the School of Environmental Science and Engineering of Shandong University, told the reporter that the ink in the gel pen refill is composed of pigments, binders, fillers, and additives. It contains volatile substances, excess ink, and floating grease. In addition, the main material for making the gel pen is polystyrene or modified polystyrene, which are known for their resistance to aging and corrosion. When disposed of as garbage, it will never degrade itself unless it is strictly classified or incinerated. A large number of discarded gel pens and refills are likely to become another environmental killer after white garbage and used batteries. “At present, the gel pens are not included in the waste sorting process, but they are treated as general household waste.†The person in charge of the Jinan Environmental Protection Bureau said that technically, some of the used refills can be recycled after treatment. use. At present, some enterprises have begun to study the use of durable materials of waste refills to make new plastic products and handicrafts, but unfortunately, the neutral pen recycling is still far from attracting people's attention. The lack of resources has become the development of such emerging enterprises. bottleneck. Reporter's note of gel pen waste reflects the "low carbon awareness" “Now we advocate low-carbon life, and we should develop the concept of pursuing low-carbon and environmental protection in our lives.†Director Huo Taiying of the Provincial Environmental Protection Department recalled that in the past, everyone may only use a pen for more than ten years, but people can now Sort out a few discarded gel pens. “The waste of gel pen is just a small detail in life, but it reflects that we still need to strengthen our awareness of low carbon,†said Director Huo. The reporter learned that many primary and secondary schools in the provincial capital are now advocating students to use pens, pencils, and less gel pens. Many primary and middle school students do well at this point. “Environmental awareness should allow children to develop from an early age.†Jinan Weier Road Elementary School is an environmental model school. The school’s teacher Zhang Lei said that now students are consciously not using a gel pen for environmental protection. According to the reporter's observation, many institutions and enterprises now have a gel pen for the participants when they meet. Many environmentalists have said that the pen for the meeting is a big waste of gel pens. It will not be used once. Director Huo of the Provincial Environmental Protection Department believes that to solve the problem of neutral pen waste, we should first seek breakthroughs in technological innovation, speed up the material renewal of the neutral pen, and at the same time establish a low-carbon environmental awareness. “When you use your pen in your pen or in a pen holder, a simple action can change the current situation of waste.†Director Huo said that the root of many wastes lies in the lack of environmental habits.
