For a long time, the waste plastic recycling industry is considered as a small, scattered and polluting industries, but also the focus of environmental supervision.However, the recycling of waste plastics is difficult, difficult, low profits, is the voice of industry workers. , The general public on the flow of waste plastics, hazards and the value it can produce do not quite understand, in fact, waste plastics recycling industry is a turning waste into treasure process, but also on the circular economy and green development provides a tireless Motivation, many unknown industry companies are working hard to forge ahead.Government related report proposed to promote green development, building beautiful China in the industry has been much criticized circumstances, the urgent need for the plastics recycling industry transformation and upgrading, take the green development path.
As a product of oil, the output of plastic has increased 20-fold from about 10 million tons in the 1960s to the present, and it is still rising exponentially. It is estimated that the output of plastic will reach 3 times of the current output by 2050 and the concentration of major producing countries In China, the European Union and the United States, Dr. Jiang Nanqing, UNEP representative office in China, pointed out that the global annual production of plastic nearly 8 million tons, most of which will be incinerated or landfilled and discharged into the sea, plastic packaging and materials really can only be recycled 14%, the economic value of the loss is very large, about 800 billion US dollars.Plastic throughout the life cycle does not establish a good chain.
Du Huanzheng, president of China Plastics Association, said plastic production of 80 million tons of plastic has been produced in the past 100 years. Some of these plastics have accumulated during social life. The other part has become rubbish. The rubbish entering landfills can not be degraded for years , The waste entering the incineration plant may generate exhaust gas. "Once upon a time, the aggressors invaded China and caused the country to break mountains and rivers, and now I am afraid it should be said that the country is breaking mountains and rivers." The industry has developed, people are rich, but there is no clean water , Fresh air and safe food, everything is empty talk. "Du Huanzheng believes that although improper handling of waste plastics would be detrimental to the environment, the waste plastics recycling industry is actually converting used waste resources into renewable resources and extending Its time for human service, objectively speaking, also protect the environment.
So, how to make the waste plastics recycling industry from 'misunderstood' into 'respected' industries? Green sustainable development is the industry's choice.
Jiang Nanqing said that modern society needs to pay more and more attention to the life cycle and remanufacturing of circular economy. More and more emphasis is put on environmental and social considerations in the production, processing, distribution and use of raw materials. Only by forming a full life cycle of supply Chain is the solution to sustainable development.'Plastic from the date of the birth for the development of the national economy and people's living standards have made tremendous contributions, but as sweet as sugar cane does not like the plastic to people's production and living belt To facilitate the same time also produced a large number of non-degradable waste plastics, causing pollution to the environment. "China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation Secretary-General, China Synthetic Resin Supply and Marketing Association, said Zhao Jungui, the petrochemical industry has entered a structural adjustment, Transformation and upgrading, green development as the main characteristic of the new era.Petrochemical industry to achieve the green development should be the green development of the whole industry chain, recycling of waste plastics industry is particularly important.To change the traditional concept of dirty and messy industry, it is necessary to Social display of the industry green, a new sign of transformation and development. 'The current environmental situation is grim, one These enterprises are facing the problems of shutdown, closure, rectification and upgrading, etc. The report also clearly pointed out that environmental protection is the most important issue. Waste plastics industry should also put environmental protection first and green development so that enterprises can go Farther, go better. "Beijing Environmental Health Engineering Group Co., Ltd. Dr. Li Shurun said.
