Zhao's bureau has met with four other relevant departments on several occasions. What they produced is not a feasible solution but an echo or rewording of the Central Government decree， according to Luo Wei from Shenzhen Municipal Legal Affairs Bureau， who is responsible for reviewing this “echo". The ”echo" has now been passed on to the municipal government which is expected to announce it formally in the near future. But Luo said she's not sure if this rewording can play a significant role in eliminating white pollution in the city. “We don't lack laws， regulations or decrees. The real concern is the effective enforcement of these laws or regulations，" said Luo.

　　Zhao Hua admitted that cities like Shanghai and other coastal cities which are sensitive about their image as tourist destinations are doing a better job in this regard. “Shanghai is said to have produced a very detailed handbook on how to carry out the curbing work and Hainan has even banned disposable foam slippers in hotels，" Zhao said.

　　Liu Guanqing， president of Shenzhen Xunbao Investment Development Co Ltd， a local manufacturer of biodegradable food containers was very eager to hear the municipal government's decision on the matter. “Since early this year， I've seen orders fly in. I'll expand production once the government announces its stance on the issue."
