Corona's ordinary life has changed a lot, but I will point out the shadows of everyday life one by one from today (30th). First, the use of disposables has increased significantly.

Due to the nature of the event, Busan BEXCO, which opened again in three months in the aftermath of Corona 19, the exhibition of baby products, fever check and identification, as well as

Plastic gloves have been piled up in the trash.

In addition to gloves, the use of disposable items that were banned was increased.

As of Seoul, plastic waste increased 20% in the month of March compared to last year, and paper waste doubled.

The government is in a position to limit the use of disposable products to the previous level if the infectious disease warning level is now two levels further down from severity to caution.

However, it has also given consumers the perception that disposable products are safe in addition to convenience.

After analyzing the related words of real disposables, words such as safety and cleanliness first appeared this year.

I also asked 300 people on the Internet and over half said they thought disposables were safer.

Korea has also been previously corona 19 plugged into the country to write the most disposable products such as plastic bags.
