Barely Affected by the Epidemic, the Global Disposable Plastic Apron Industry is Developing Well, and the Environmental Pollution Caused by Products has Become the Biggest Challenge for the Industry Future Development 

At the beginning of the outbreak, normal production of many companies was affected. For companies in areas with relatively mild epidemics, even if they start operations at normal times, they will face shortages of raw materials, resulting in lower capacity utilization than normal. In addition, due to long-distance transportation, there is a risk of transmission of the virus, so some measures have been taken to control traffic in hard-hit areas. So there is some pressure on the supply side.  However, disposable plastic aprons are in high demand as part of medical protective equipment, with government support and substantial investment in PPE production. In response to strong demand in the UK, Mainetti, which traditionally makes and recycles hangers and packaging, has begun industrial-scale production of single-use plastic aprons at its UK plant in Girdeberg, Scotland, with production expected to exceed 300,000 pieces per week, according to media reports. In addition, due to the high infectivity of COVID-19 and the possibility of re-outbreaks at any time, the epidemic has forced people to use more disposable plastic aprons, despite a growing social backlash against single-use plastics.  Therefore, overall, the epidemic has had little negative impact on the disposable plastic apron industry， it has boosted the industry to some extent instead.

Due to the harm of plastics to the ecological environment, the government has put forward the concept of green economy and tried to gradually reduce or even completely eliminate the use of single-use plastic products. In India, for example, a national ban on single-use plastics went into effect in 2019. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said his government aims to completely eliminate the use of single-use plastics in India by 2022. While single-use plastic aprons are a cheap, convenient and cost-effective option, strict policies will increase costs for companies in some regions, which poses challenges for the industry.
