Is it illegal to charge 1 yuan for packed lunch?

Legal analysis: not illegal. The purpose of charging packaging fee is to limit people's use of plastic products to a certain extent, because plastic products are difficult to degrade and will destroy the ecological environment, and at the same time, it is also to make the implementation of the "plastic restriction order" achieve good results.

Legal basis: Article 6 of the Environmental Protection Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). All units and individuals have the obligation to protect the environment.

Local people's governments at all levels are responsible for the environmental quality of their respective administrative areas.

Enterprises, institutions and other producers and operators shall prevent and reduce environmental pollution and ecological damage, and shall be liable for the damage caused according to law.

Citizens should enhance their awareness of environmental protection, adopt a low-carbon and frugal lifestyle, and consciously fulfill their environmental protection obligations.
