At the beginning of the outbreak, work is usually postponed and the normal production of the company is affected. For companies in areas where the epidemic is relatively mild and can start operations normally, even if they start operations at normal times, they will face insufficient supply of raw materials, resulting in lower than normal capacity utilization. The spread of epidemics caused by transportation will affect normal cargo transportation. According to data, the incubation period of the new coronavirus that caused this epidemic is about 7-14 days. In many countries, there are many cases of transmission in long-distance buses, trains, airplanes and other transportation vehicles. And there is a risk of virus spread due to long-distance transportation. Therefore, areas with more severe epidemics have taken certain measures to control transportation. So, the supply side has some pressure.

However, Disposable Plastic Aprons, as part of the most needed medical protective equipment, are in high demand, and there are government supports and large investment to the PPE productions . According to the media, Mainetti, as a company that traditionally manufactures and recycles hangers and packaging, in order to meet the strong demand in the United Kingdom, began industrial-scale production of disposable plastic aprons at its British factory in Gedburgh, Scotland. It is expected to produce more than 300,000 weekly.

It has been half a year since the Covid-19 outbreak, and the number of confirmed cases is still increasing. It has now exceeded 21,000,00 and has not yet seen a clear turning point. Many countries have restarted their economies under the pressure of the economic downturn. However, considering the highly contagious nature of COVID-19, COVID-19 may break out for the second time at the end of this year. Although the voice of the society against disposable plastic products is getting louder, this epidemic has forced people to use more of Disposable Plastic Aprons, which actually benefits the development of the industry.

Product innovation towarding eco-friendly directions

As China terminated all plastic waste imports in 2017, many countries, especially Europe and North America, urgently need to improve plastic processing and recycling capabilities. Most governments are investing in the construction of new recycling plants, but there is still a long way to go before managing the amount of plastic waste currently produced. The ultimate fate of more and more plastics is to be transported to landfills, incinerators or the environment where garbage may be littered, but this will also cause environmental concerns. So how to help sustainable development through product innovation has become the theme of the industry. Many companies have proposed Biodegradable Aprons. Biodegradable Aprons have a faster decomposition rate, which can be used once and is completely biodegradable. Biodegradable Aprons will not be the end of product innovation. As the society has higher and higher requirements for environmental protection, the industry must develop in an environmentally friendly and sustainable development direction in order to gain more market opportunities.

Threat of environmental protection policy

Due to the harm of plastics to the ecological environment, the government put forward the concept of green economy and tried to gradually reduce or even completely eliminate the use of disposable plastic products. For example, in India, the national ban on single-use plastic products came into effect in 2019. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that the Indian government's goal is to completely get rid of the use of single-use plastics in India by 2022.

Although Disposable Plastic Aprons is a cheap, convenient, and cost-effective choice, strict policies will increase the cost of compliance for companies in certain regions, which poses a challenge to the industry.
