Recently, the news that Vietnam banned the export of plastic wastes spread rapidly in the industry, making people panic. Specifically how the same thing, let's look at the relevant reports.
Report Review -
Report 1: According to the latest notification of a shipping company, the shipping company will no longer accept orders from December 1, 2017 and will be notified separately.
Report 2: "Vietnam News" November 26 news, the Vietnamese government introduced the government 155/2016 / ND-CP decree, raising the violation of environmental regulations and administrative penalties.
Report 3: MOL recently issued a circular banning the transport of any plastic scrap to Vietnam and shipping of goods exported from any country to Vietnam.
Report 4: Vietnam Television reported that a China-made waste plastic factory (in Vietnam's name) discharged untreated wastewater directly to the post-plant stream, affecting 100,000 HD farmland irrigation (1HD = 10,000 m 2) Bad.
Vietnam annually imports a large amount of scrap iron, waste plastics and waste paper to make up for the shortage of raw materials for industrial production. After the ban from the mainland of China, Vietnam became one of the best choices for the transfer of waste plastics from the mainland to Southeast Asia for processing and utilization.
Nowadays, what is going on in Vietnam as a result of banning plastic orders? For this reason, the author calls Vietnam Customs Clearance Company, shipping companies issuing the news and local Chinese enterprises for further understanding of the incident.
@ Vietnam customs clearance company's internal news:
A customs clearance company in Vietnam falsified the permit and was found by the local Ministry of Environmental Protection to cancel the qualification of the customs clearance company and thereafter the company no longer received the order.
@ Vietnam, a waste plastic import customs clearance company:
Vietnam has a long history of waste plastics processing, processing and utilization of local waste plastics has been able to do, although environmental inspection from time to time, but not too strict.
Since mainland China banned imports, a large amount of waste plastic was transported to Vietnam. Local enterprises were allowed to discharge sewage at any time during the crushing and cleaning process, causing serious pollution to the local environment.
Vietnam Customs Circular not to allow the import of polluting waste, environmental inspection makes some of the domestic waste plastics companies to suspend production for rectification.
@ MOL Mitsui (MOL) shipping Vietnam Branch:
Now it is forbidden to transport any plastic scrap to all ports in Vietnam because many containers can not find the consignee at the port.
@ Vietnam Waste plastic entrepreneur Tony Wong:
In Vietnam, environmental inspections have always been, done well to let you do, do not do well to let you do it, in short, very similar with the Chinese policy.At present, the standard goods can be sent to Haiphong, only some consignee Out of the situation, I have to ship to Haiphong.
Vietnam mainly relies on agricultural development. If the environmental protection is not qualified for a long time and the local environment for crop growth is damaged, it is likely to ban the import of waste plastics like the mainland. It is recommended that enterprises investing in Vietnam should standardize and make long-term investments.
Vietnam is still a lot of space in the market, Vietnam is not yet developed countries, whether it is policy, tax or cost is to have an investment advantage, mainly to see how to manage their own, Malaysia, Thailand can do, why Vietnam can not Do it?
Ho Chi Minh is a big place with lots of people going, but other places can do it too. Small-scale enterprises can go to Ho Chi Minh City and large-scale enterprises can go to Haiphong.
@ Vietnam Waste plastic entrepreneur Lee:
Do waste plastic business, not good for the environment, where the investment is not good, the key still depends on individuals, the current need for approval of imported waste in Vietnam, but the overall investment environment is fine.
Beginning this year, China has completely restricted the import of foreign rubbish, including plastic waste, resulting in a large influx of plastic waste into Vietnam.
@ China Plastics Waste Association President Huang Chu-chi:
In fact, Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand have strict requirements. If the industry does not exercise self-discipline to transport some eco-friendly waste to these countries, the local government will eventually move out and will not allow polluting waste imports even if it is not banned.
In understanding the process of banning plastic in Vietnam, I remind the reporter of the import clearance of waste plastics in mainland China since 2008, during which time customs clearance was not made at a certain point each year, but the industry as a whole is still running.
At present, Vietnam Customs clearance takes a month's time, the local overall operation of waste plastics companies in good condition. History is always strikingly similar, but not simply repeat. Like China Synthetic Resin Supply and Marketing Association Plastics Recycling Branch Wang Wang SirIn Southeast Asia, polluting play certainly will not work In this regard, he gives advice:
Whether it is building plastic factories in Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines or other countries, we must use new techniques and new technologies to make environmental protection better. Otherwise, China today is the tomorrow of these countries.
No matter where the development of renewable industries, we need to standardize production, good environmental protection, can long-term foothold.Southeast Asia's policy can only be more and more strict, in line with local policies, pollution-free environment is the regeneration of the industry's future!
'One Belt, One Road' is a good thing, but enterprises must not influence the affairs of the country in the name of 'One Belt and One Road.' The large local enterprises in Vietnam must unite so that the industry as a whole will ascend to a new level.
