“The plastic ban in Hainan has never prohibited the entry of general goods into Hainan, nor has it prohibited the normal delivery and delivery of express logistics.” The Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment held a media briefing on September 18 to explain the policy and respond to recent reports from some consumers that orders for plastic products on e-commerce platforms have encountered problems such as “not shipping”, “requesting a refund”, and even the delivery address being blocked. The relevant person in charge of the Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment clearly stated that what is prohibited on the Hainan plastic ban list is specific disposable non-degradable plastic products. It specifically includes two categories: one is disposable bags containing non-biodegradable polymer materials such as PE, PP, PS, and PVC; the other is disposable tableware. Wu Aining, director of the Market Supervision Department of the Provincial Post Administration, explained that for plastic products not included in the prohibited list, the materials of express bags, packaging boxes, tape, fillers, etc. sent to Hainan should not be restricted by Hainan's plastic ban regulations. “Product pre-packaging” such as plastic packaging bags for tissues is not a plastic product included in Hainan's prohibited list.
