The ban on the import of wastes, the domestic strict investigation of environmental protection, followed by the tide is rising prices, shortage of tide. For the downstream industry of recycled plastics, raw materials come from? The path to how to go? Become the biggest problem.
1, imports of renewable particles according to the general supervision of raw materials
In the process of policy completion, although there is a ban on waste plastics, there is no obvious restriction on plastic recycled pellets, which is a great positive effect on imported pellets. Many plastic enterprises have turned to import recycled pellets from Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia.
On May 27, 2014, China Waste Plastics Association proposed a "three unified" regulatory approach that will allow most of the recycled plastic particles to be regulated under normal raw materials and not in accordance with the solid waste management.
'Three unification', that is, the goods that have been made into the primary shape follow: batch of uniform color, uniform particle size, uniform packaging of recycled plastic particles, not in accordance with the regulation of solid waste.
The proposal has been adopted by the Customs Supervision Department and the Department of Environmental Protection Dirt Division. On May 30, the Supervisory Department of the General Administration of Customs sent an urgent document to the Guangdong Branch and its subordinate customs offices to further clarify the import of recycled plastic granules as follows:
1. The primary form of recycled plastic granules made of plastic waste, if the same batch of imported goods color, particle size and shape of the same, the same packaging and meet the relevant requirements of plastic materials or products and standards, may not follow the solid Waste regulation.
2. Supervision process found that recycled plastic particles suspected of solid waste, solid waste should be identified according to the property.
2, recycled plastic particles own strong
Large demand. Mr. Huang Chuqi, Executive President of China Waste Plastics Association, said: "By the year 2017, there are over 2 million tons of waste PE film imported into mainland China each year. After the ban, it will take a long time to replenish this huge raw material gap.
There is a great demand for PE regenerated pellets such as greenhouse film pellets and pull tubes etc. Currently, the recycled pellets sold to the mainland are mainly PE and PET, about 5 million tons. In addition, the sales volume of PES, PS, ABS and ton bag materials Very good. "President Huang said.
Low price. Ms. Tian, the general manager of Baoding Senao Import and Export Trade Co., Ltd., introduced them as a dealer to import plastic recycled pellets from Southeast Asian countries. The imported type is HDPE, and the recycled plastic pellets are 1,000 RMB cheaper than the new ones.
In line with environmental protection. Waste plastic enterprises to invest in Southeast Asia to invest and build factories, the production of recycled particles exported to the mainland, is the current direction of a major industry restructuring, not only to make up for the raw material gap, but also to avoid pollution problems, while enjoying VAT-free policy.
3, Imported recycled plastic pellet matters needing attention
Recently, a company because of the uncertainty of imported black plastic particles property was seized by Fuzhou Customs, and finally sent to Shenzhen Exit Inspection and Quarantine Inspection Center for Industrial Products Testing Materials Laboratory of renewable raw materials, identification fee solid waste properties.
Therefore, I hereby remind importers that the imported recycled pellets must meet the requirements of the relevant norms and standards of plastic materials and products or their products in addition to satisfying the 'Three Uniformities'.
Preferably, during customs clearance, preparing a description of the goods for further use may require the manufacturer to provide relevant test forms for the physical properties of the goods, certifying that the goods meet the contractual requirements of both parties.
At present, there are three solid waste identification agencies in China: Institute of Solid Waste Pollution Control Technology, China Academy of Environmental Sciences, China Customs Laboratory, Shenzhen Inspection and Quarantine Bureau of Industrial Products Testing Technology Center for Raw Materials Testing and Verification Laboratory.
Identification of solid waste longer period of time, so to remind businesses, in strict accordance with the relevant provisions of the Customs implementation of the enterprises concerned about the issue of the varnish declaration, the customs will be in accordance with the solid waste supervision, please pay attention to the declaration.
