In the face of strict entry criteria for eu plastic products, China's plastic food and kitchen export enterprises should improve the quality of products and develop independent brands to obtain more orders.

Enhance the original technology of products, break through the routine product design route, integrate with the unique elements of diversity, and take the road of original development.
