In the hot summer streets, people can often see the people holding bottled water while walking. Are the water in their hands healthy? Is the bottle filled with water safe? According to reports received by readers of the Japan Daily, the surrounding area of ​​the city and some passenger stations are selling a large quantity of bottled “pure water†that uses recycled materials to blow the bottle twice. These are full of pure water in the regular brand. The bottled water in this article comes from bottled water in Chinese bottle nets. The packaging is simple and the printing is vague, and some of them even imitate the outer packaging of regular big brands of pure water, which is easy for consumers to confuse. In particular, bottles made from recycled materials have laid a hidden danger for everyone's health. In this regard, the reporter recently conducted a detailed visit and understanding.
Reporter visited
Bus Terminal into a Suspicious Bottled Water "Hard Area"
Article 7 of the “Measures for the Hygienic Management of Plastic Products and Raw Materials for Foods†promulgated by the Ministry of Health on November 26, 1990 clearly stipulates that plastic plastic food containers, containers, and food packaging materials must not be used for recycling plastics. What about the market situation?
According to the clues of an insider who has been operating the purified water business for many years, the reporter recently visited Sanqiao’s bazaars, Chengxi Coach Terminal, Chengnan Coach Terminal and train station. It was found that in areas where the flow of these people is relatively large, some bottles are installed. The pure water looks very suspicious: not only the packaging is unclear, the printing is unclear, and there are tiny stains on the plastic bottle body, the sealing of the bottle mouth is very rough, and the date of production is indistinct. There are also so-called "brands" of pure water packaging and brand-name purified water are extremely similar, consumers are easy to confuse.
The reporter walked along the Jiefang Road and walked to the train station and found that nearly 30 small shops along the road were selling the suspected bottled drinking water. The price ranged from 1.5 yuan to 2 yuan per bottle. The brands were varied, but they were all on weekdays. A brand not seen in the supermarket. According to a person familiar with the matter, under normal circumstances, consumers will be thirsty after drinking bottled water at a bus terminal. Few people will pay attention to the quality of bottled water. The unscrupulous manufacturers are using this kind of information from consumers in the bus terminal. The psychological features make these suspicious pure water occupy the market.
"Pure water" is suspicious
The manufacturer could not find the phone is an empty number
The reporter spent 1.5 yuan to buy a bottle of pure water at the Chengxi Coach Terminal. He tried to contact the manufacturer with the phone number on the label. Repeatedly dialing was repeatedly told that the phone was empty. The contact address on the label only read "Yanxiang Road, Xi'an City," but when the reporter came to Yanxiang Road, he could not find the manufacturer. A nearby resident said that he never heard of this pure water plant.
The reporter contacted the manufacturers one by one according to the phone numbers of the suspect bottles of the collected bottles. A manufacturer's person in charge informed a reporter of the need to purchase water and gave a mobile phone number. After the mobile phone is connected, the other party vigilantly inquired about the place of delivery and the number of transactions. When the reporter asked whether it was possible to pick up the goods at the factory, the other party immediately Hang up the phone. Another brand leader also seemed to be aware of the conversation with the reporter, and the sales staff did not immediately hang up the phone for the reason.
In the neighborhood of Bali Village in the southern suburbs, the reporter purchased a bottle of “Qinling Style†brand pure water at a price of RMB 1. He contacted the manufacturer according to the phone number of the bottle body. A middle-aged man who claimed to be the responsible person told the reporter: “If you come to the factory to pick up the goods, each box (12 bottles) will count 3 yuan for you, and if the door-to-door delivery is 4.1 yuan.†It is understood that the current market price of PET raw materials For 12,500 yuan per ton, even if the bottle is blown to the thinnest, each one needs 25 grams of raw materials, that is, 1 ton of raw materials can be used to blow up to 40,000 standard bottles. In other words, if PET bottles are used to blow water bottles that comply with food hygiene standards, the cost per bottle (12 bottles) will not be less than 3.75 yuan, while the “Qinling style†manufacturers will be able to use 3 yuan. The price of one box supplies finished bottled water. In addition, the information on the health license marked on the “Qinling style†bottle is “Huwei Shizi (2005) No. 156â€. When the reporter telephoned the Huxian County Health Supervision Office, a person named surname Sun said: “Drinking The water sanitation permit needs to be reviewed once a year. The water plant has not been re-examined after it received the permit in 2005."
Informed sources
Suspicious bottled water accounts for 15% to 20% of the market in Xi'an
According to the insider, this type of suspicious pure water comes mostly from the outskirts of the city, and most of the bottles are made from recycled plastic waste. The manufacturers also have a stable sales line. These manufacturers will not allow outsiders to see their production process, and the purchases are stipulated in a specific location, which is extremely secretive.
According to informed sources, from the cost point of view, if raw materials are produced using raw materials that conform to national standards, the price of raw materials for PET pellets will be around 12,000 yuan per ton. However, if waste recycling materials are used to blow the bottles, only raw materials are used. The cost can be reduced by more than 4,000 yuan. These “pure water†plants are poorly crafted when blowing bottles. Observing the finished bottles with the naked eye allows them to see a lot of dirt spots, and these bottles are mostly light blue or light grey and have poor light transmission. Informed sources said: "This type of bottled 'pure water' wholesale price is only 3 yuan a box, an average of 0.25 yuan per bottle of water, but the retail price is almost the same as the big brand products, the retail price of each bottle is about 1.5 yuan, there are Even sold 2 yuan." In other words, sales of such "pure water" at least 1.25 yuan per bottle!
The person familiar with the matter also provided reporters with an “investigation reportâ€, which mentioned: “At present, there are not less than 10 companies that have used recycled materials to produce bottled water and have formed a scale. The daily production capacity is 4000. Above the box of Chinese bottles and bottles, two of them have a daily production capacity of 12,000 to 20,000 boxes, and there are about 30 to 40 small-scale processing plants, and the amount of the small-sized processing plants in the peak season is no less than 60,000 boxes. The annual sales of purified water are more than 6 million boxes (about 70 million bottles), accounting for about 30% of the total sales in the market, and in the Xi’an market, this type of bottled water accounts for 15% to 20% of the total, and is at the county level. The market can reach 40% to 60%."
Regular manufacturers
Identify whether or not to return bottle bottles hidden Xuanji
In order to fully understand the production process of bottled purified water, the reporter started with the processing technology of bottle manufacturers of regular manufacturers and sought solutions for consumers to identify pure water from bottles. Accompanied by Yi Yongxing, head of the Blowing Bottle Division of Xi'an Top Jin Food Co., Ltd., the reporter visited the "King Master" pure water bottle production line. Yi Kechang said that regular manufacturers have stringent process requirements when blowing bottles, from the raw material storage, melting and feeding to blowing into the machine, the finished product line has almost harsh process regulations. For example, in order to ensure the physical quality of the bottle body, the preforms of the blow molding equipment will be invalidated at the beginning of the start-up period, and even the finished bottles that are accidentally dropped on the assembly line will also be forced to go offline in order to ensure the quality of the finished purified water. And health.
Yi Kechang said: "The most common way for ordinary consumers to identify bottled drinking water is to invert the bottle body and observe the bottle against a strong light source. The authentic bottle is of uniform color and good light transmission. The sensation of being crystal clear. In addition, there is a series of clear and three-dimensional logos on the inside of the bottle mouth, which is the mark left by the preform forming equipment. According to the Iraqi chief, the reporter checked again to see what he bought. Several kinds of suspected bottled water, found that the bottle wall of the bottle no convex code.
For the identification of those colored water bottles, the Iraqi chief emphasized that: “The colored bottles produced by the regular manufacturers can be found in the light to be very uniform in color, and there is absolutely no phenomenon that some of the colors are dark and partly shallow. If it is a recycled bottle, there will certainly be a phenomenon of dye accumulation, which is determined by the dyes and processing techniques used by them."
"Actually, as long as consumers have mastered the identification methods, those 'back bottles' of pure water' are easily identified!" Yi Kechang said: "As long as the light is strong. With black spots or other impurities, you can be 100% sure that this bottle of water does not come from the regular production line." In addition, the Iraqi Chief advised consumers to buy purified water, must go to regular shopping malls and supermarkets. "Because those bottles that are recycled, because they use some organic solvents in the melting waste, these solvents cannot be removed during the blowing process, and the organic solvents that remain in the bottle will have a serious impact on the health of consumers. harm."
Yesterday, reporters learned from the city quality supervision department that they have not received any complaints regarding the use of recycled materials as bottles. For manufacturers to use recycled materials for bottles, they need to obtain relevant evidence at the production site. In this regard, people familiar with the matter suggested that relevant regulatory authorities should increase management efforts so that everyone could drink safe and secure water.
