"I bought mineral water, the bottle cap even issued a pungent odor." A few days ago, Yao Yao, the citizen, told reporters his own experience. Reporters recently found that many businesses selling some unknown mineral water in the cities of Beibei, Sifang, Lijing, and Chengyang, and many roadside shops and roadside shops discovered that these mineral waters were compared with brand-name mineral waters. Most of the water bottles are blue in color and the bottle body is very brittle. You can hear the buzzing sound with a little pinch, and some bottle caps have a pungent odor. According to the manufacturer's address on the bottle of mineral water, the reporter went to a mineral water production enterprise in Chengyang District to “acquisition†but was surprised to learn that the wholesale price of these mineral waters was surprisingly low, and even the wholesale price of certain mineral waters was already lower than Regular bottle cost price. According to industry sources, the use of waste plastic bottles to save costs has become a "living way" for some small mineral water companies.
Question the regular mineral water bottle, the cost will be 4 hair
Hongke Plastics Co., Ltd. is a company that specializes in providing bottle bodies for mineral water companies. The manager of the company, Zhang Chengxi, said that regular mineral water bottles are made of PET and its Chinese name is “Polyethylene terephthalate. "Alcohol ester", its raw material form is PET chips or particles, and the current market price of the masterbatch is 11,300 yuan/ton. The bottle cap is a PE material, which is commonly referred to as "polyethylene". The market price is 20,000 yuan/ton, and 5 cents is made after the cap is made. “These raw material masterbatches have no manufacturer in Shandong and must be purchased from Beijing and other places. Each mineral water bottle weighs 15 grams, and the cost of each mineral water bottle masterbatch is 0.2 yuan to 0.25 yuan.â€
“But it's just raw material costs.†Zhang Chengxi continued to explain that after the masterbatch was on the production line, it needed to go through injection molding machines, blow molding machines, and molds. The injection molding machine production line was worth 150,000 yuan, and the blow molding machine was worth more than 160,000 yuan. , And blow molds also have 10,000 yuan. In addition to technology, electricity bills, and manpower expenses, the cost of each mineral water bottle is approximately 4 cents on the basis of trademark fees, shipping charges, and so on. "This is a bottle price cost of 15 grams. If it is 17 grams or 18 grams, the cost is higher than this." Manager Zhang said that due to the high price of masterbatch, the profit margin for operating mineral water is very low, and the small water plant The only way for small workshops to make profits is to minimize costs.
One dollar mineral water in the market emits a pungent odor
"Dying at a glance, obviously brand-name mineral water, drink is not so delicious taste, and then carefully, the original is an unknown small bottle of water, even selling the price of brand names." Citizen Yao Hao recently told reporters Reflecting that when she was shopping in Taitung, she bought a bottle of mineral water at a newsstand on the roadside at a newsstand. Regardless of the pattern of the bottle or the color and style of the brand, she mistakenly thought it was a Lushan mineral water, but she unraveled it. When the lid was drinking, it smelled a pungent plastic smell.
“How can the brand-name water smell?†Yao Xi carefully looked at the bottle of mineral water in his hand and was surprised to find that it was not “Laoshan Mineral Water†but a bottled water called “Lushan Mountain Spring Drinking Waterâ€. Since its appearance is very similar to "Minshan Mineral Water," it is almost impossible to look at it as a brand-name mineral water.
Spending a dollar to buy a small bottle of mineral water and pure water from the streets has become a habit of many people. Masters such as Kangshifu, Laoshan, Nongfu Spring, and Bingluo are most popular and can be bought everywhere on the streets. Reporters recently discovered that in the interviews with market stalls and roadside shops in the city’s North, Sifang, Lisong, and Chengyang, many businesses also sell some unknown mineral water. These mineral water bottles and brand-name mineral water In comparison, most of the bottle's color is blue, and the bottle of mineral water is very brittle. It can be heard by gently pinching. Some bottle caps have a pungent odor.
Visit a bottle of mineral water wholesale less than 3 cents
A few days ago, the reporter went to a mineral water production company located in Chengyang District. The reporter nicknamed to purchase and gained the trust of the female boss and brought the reporter into the warehouse. The reporter saw that there was a large amount of mineral water finished here. Among them, a mineral spring water is printed with the words “Lushan Mountain Spring Drinking Water†and a mountain peak is printed on the mineral water bottle, which is very similar to the packaging of the Lushan mineral water. A closer look reveals a small trademark printed with the word “崂岩â€.
On the opposite side of this pile of mineral water, a pile of mineral water called Kang Chengquan is piled up. From the bottle's point of view, this bottle of mineral water is blue and feels very thin. According to the woman's boss, the wholesale price of "Lushan Mountain Spring Drinking Water" is 9 yuan per pack, 20 bottles per pack. In addition, several kinds of mineral water, some for 8 yuan 20 bottles, some for 7 yuan 20 bottles, and the cheapest is "Kang Chengquan" mineral water, the wholesale price of 5.5 bottles of 20 bottles, converted to a bottle of 0.275 yuan.
Bosses made of recycled plastic are particularly soft
"The mineral water is so cheap. Is there any problem?" the reporter asked. The female owner listened and took the reporter into the production workshop. The reporter saw that there were a lot of empty bottles piled up here and there was a machine in the middle of the production workshop. "This is used to make bottles." The female boss said that he handed over to reporters a thing that looks like a thick needle. According to the woman's boss, this "thick needle tube" is the bottle's masterbatch. They put the masterbatch on the machine and the masterbatch is blown into a water bottle like a balloon.
This machine can blow 23 bottles per second.
Female boss told reporters that these masterbatch are all imported from regular manufacturers and quality is absolutely no problem. During the exchange, the reporter saw several empty bottles on the ground. The bottles were blue in color and the bottles were very soft. The reporter saw that this water is called "Lushan drinking water." "These bottles are particularly soft?" The female boss told reporters that the masterbatch of these bottles is made of recycled plastic waste. "These bottles are not used in the previous production. Now that we have strict, we It is no longer necessary to make bottles from recycled plastics."
Although the female boss said that he would no longer sell “recycling plastic bottled waterâ€, the reporter still bought the water in the market.
Insider profits, recycling waste plastic bottles
“Daily this line knows that they can afford to sell such a low price ah? That is to cheat on the bottle, blow the bottle with recycled waste plastics, the cost is low.†Long Deli plastic company manager Zhang Xinyong revealed in an interview, The current plastics production industry has reached a consensus that all mineral waters with particularly low wholesale prices must be blown out of bottles after they have been recycled using recycled plastics.
Manager Zhang of Hongke Plastics Co., Ltd. said that Shahe Town, Laizhou has large waste plastic recycling bases, medical waste plastics, waste plastics for life, industrial waste plastics, etc. are gathered here, and some people go there to buy a variety of waste Plastic products, then "wash old", "open mold" on the recycled plastic waste.
“Moulds are very expensive. Generally, small workshops and small water plants do not open molds in order to reduce costs. Therefore, there are people who specialize in recycling used plastics. After they are opened and molded into preforms, they are supplied to small factories. Small factories buy preforms. According to the different needs of blowing on the machine can be.†Manager Zhang said that the waste made of the bottle is very similar to the regular bottle, but careful observation there are obvious differences: First, the color is dark, not as good as the regular bottle So clear and clean; secondly there are dark spots on the bottle, and the pattern of the bottle is not obvious; and third, the bottle has a very distinct odor. “Especially when the bottle is opened after drinking, the first mouth will be obvious. It tastes wrong to taste.â€
Zhoushi Industry and Trade Co., Ltd. is also a large-scale enterprise specializing in plastics production. Its general manager Zhou Rui introduced that the raw materials for making mineral water bottles have strict national standards, requiring bottles to be PET products, and that the bottles cannot be reused. “The recovered waste plastics may contain components such as engine oil and pesticides. All kinds of waste plastics are mixed together and then blown into bottles to drink. This kind of bottled water can be imagined as a hazard to the human body.â€
å°´å°¬ "recycle bottle" filled with water to hide in the corner of the law enforcement
"Drinking water also belongs to food, and should be supervised by the Food Safety Law." Sun Liwei, head of the Food Safety Office of the Qingdao Administration for Industry and Commerce, said that the issue of mineral water bottles is a problem in the production field and should be supervised by the supervisory authorities in the production sector.
The reporter learned from the Municipal Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision that according to relevant laws and regulations, recycled plastic waste is not allowed to be used as a master batch in the production of mineral water bottles. In the process of supervising mineral water companies, the quality supervision department conducts key inspections on the use of waste plastics as master batches, requires companies to provide proof of purchase of master batches, and inspection reports for master batches.
“The law enforcement agencies do have difficulties in supervision.†Zhang, manager of Hongke Plastics Co., Ltd., said that the use of recycled waste plastics to produce drinking water bottles is a cheating act. “The law enforcement agencies cannot watch all-weather, even if there are sampling inspections. Small workshops and small water plants will also come up with qualified bottles to cope with the inspections. When law enforcement personnel leave, these people will be driven by money interests and they will still use water bottles with poor quality.†Manager Zhang believes that “recycling bottles†are used. Water is actually hiding in a corner of law enforcement supervision.
