For the cost-cutting companies favor the old bottle

“An old bottle is one or two cents cheaper than a new bottle. Many beer companies with lower prices are naturally favoring recycling bottles in order to reduce their costs.” An insider told reporters that a large number of B-service bottles with outdated service are basically It is the main means for the current low-end beer production enterprises to win market competition.

The above-mentioned industry sources disclosed to reporters that the cost of using a new “B bottle” for beer companies was 0.6-0.7 yuan, while the price for recycling bottles was 0.3-0.4 yuan. Calculated with a small and medium-sized enterprise that annually produces 100,000 tons of beer, the annual production of beer is about 150 million bottles. Even if one-third of beer bottles use out-of-service B-shaped bottles, the cost of only one beer bottle a year is saved. 15 million yuan. This is almost all the profits of the beer manufacturer.

However, the relevant person in charge of 12315 in Hangzhou stated that beer bottles are used for too long, and their safety is reduced due to collisions, frictions, and other reasons. Although “proposed to use two years” is not a mandatory standard, since the country has this proposal, it means that the beer bottle within the two-year limit is relatively safe. Consumers should stop using the wine bottle if they find that the bottle exceeds the service life. Related departments report.

The beer bottle national standard states that "the recommended beer bottle recycling period is two years." However, the reporter found that many beer bottles circulated on the market exceeded the two-year limit, and even beer bottles produced six years ago are still in use. . According to industry sources, beer bottles that expire in service have a great potential safety hazard.

6-year-old beer bottle nearly injuring the consumer

"The six-year-old beer bottle does not know how many times it has been recycled. The quality of such a beer bottle certainly cannot reach the safety standards of the new bottle." Yesterday, Mr. Zhang, who lives in the Tianjiaqiao community in Hangzhou, told reporters that he had been a few days ago. The beer bottle that was about to open was suddenly exploded with a friend at night. Fortunately, the beer bottle was still some distance away from him. The broken glass residue just scratched his hand.

“Now the beer bottles are all state-enforced use of relatively safe B-shaped bottles. Is this bottle not a B-shaped bottle?” Mr. Zhang carefully identified the beer bottle and found that the bottom edge of the bottle was clearly printed with the word “B2002”. Subsequently, Mr. Zhang found a small supermarket to buy beer, the supermarket owner told him that although this is a B-shaped bottle that meets national standards, the use of the bottle is too long.

"2002 behind the B word is the date of manufacture of the beer bottle, which means that the bottle was produced in 2002." The owner of the supermarket surprised Mr. Zhang. "The old beer bottle was still in use 6 years ago. It's no wonder that it will explode. Mr. Zhang said.

According to incomplete statistics, there are thousands of complaints about the explosion of beer bottles in the country each year. In all complaints from consumers across the country concerning the use of goods causing personal disabilities, the beer bottle explosion caused more than 50% of complaints. For this reason, consumer association organizations in many provinces and cities across the country have issued warnings on the vigilance of beer bottle explosions.

Most businesses do not know the age of beer bottles

The reporter then visited several hypermarkets and several small supermarkets in Hangzhou. He found that beer brands used multiple bottles of beer, and some low-priced beer use the ageing beer bottle is even more serious. .

The reporter found that many people are unaware of the rules governing the use of beer bottles, and many businesses do not even know that beer bottles have a useful life. When introducing products to customers, they usually introduce beer brand awareness.

It is understood that according to national regulations, from June 1st, 1999, the national beer production industry must enforce the use of B-shaped bottles, and each beer bottle should be marked with a special mark “B” within 20 mm above the bottom of the bottle. This indicates that it is a special bottle for beer. The industry calls this type of bottle in line with the national standard as "B bottle." This series of characters beginning with B, not only the wine bottle production company code, also includes the production year of the bottle.

However, the standard does not have a mandatory use period and scrap time limit for the recycling of the B-shaped bottle, but only in the appendix to make a "proposed beer bottle recycling period of two years" instructions.
