从12月1日起，海南省将禁止销售和使用包括塑料袋和一次性餐具在内的10种一次性塑料产品。

At supermarkets in Haikou City, plastic straws and utensils(用具) have been removed from shelves and replaced with biodegradable(可生物降解的) products.
在海口市的超市里，塑料吸管和餐具已从货架上移走，取而代之的则是可生物降解塑料制品。

The provincial ecology and environment bureau said local manufacturers can meet demand for biodegradable bags of about 30,000 tons, and tableware at 10,000 tons.
海南省生态环境厅表示，当地的制造商可以满足约3万吨的可生物降解袋和1万吨可降解餐具的需求。

A bureau spokesperson also said guidelines will be issued to reduce the cost of biodegradable products since the raw materials(原材料) are currently twice the price of normal plastic products.
该厅发言人还表示，将发布相关政策以减少可生物降解产品的成本，因为该产品的原材料价格是目前正常塑料制品价格的两倍。
