In the last two months of 2018, recall that at the beginning of this year, the import volume of recycled granules rose sharply. The customs comprehensively controlled the regeneration of granules, and a large number of recycled granules were pressed into Hong Kong for several months. 'Check' 'Test' 'Solid waste attribute identification' Filled with a circle of friends, WeChat group, 2018 throughout the first half of the year, the recycled pellets import industry is in a fog.
Recently, the fog seems to be gradually dissipating. Is it that everyone has become accustomed to it, or is the imported recycled pellets already calm?

2. How do companies view recycled pellets?
The author inquired about several companies that import recycled pellets at different ports in China. They can clearly feel the calm state of the company, and they are not as excited as they were at the beginning of the year.
Several companies have responded that the recent import of granules is still smooth, and even some companies say that the ticket has passed.
When the author asked about the reasons behind the calm, the company said that things would start to be a bit confusing at first, and gradually everyone adapted to the rules, and it became more and more calm.
There are also corporate reactions, basically the natural color particles, the import of relatively pure color particles is still smooth, if there are color difference particles are still more dangerous.
Some companies have said that the current import of recycled pellets is calm because the import volume has decreased, and many companies have stopped working or switched jobs!
Of course, some companies have indicated that at least three votes are in the state of testing, indicating that the calmness can only be relatively speaking, and there are still many enterprises whose customs clearance tests are not smooth.
3, new trends in the import of recycled pellets
Recycled plastics industry must have standards
At present, the customs crack down on smuggling of waste plastics, waste slag, waste hardware and other foreign garbage, but the import of recycled granules is still inspected and identified according to the 'three consistent' standards. Even though new standards for recycled granules are released, will the customs Take the time to consider.
The use of 'three consistent' makes the current import of recycled pellets relatively stable. This is a temporary means of supervision adopted by Customs in the absence of standards for recycled pellets. Ultimately, the recycled plastics industry still needs standards to regulate.
Southeast Asia granules decrease, Europe and the United States increase
Recently, due to the instability of Southeast Asian policies, companies have indicated that they do not tend to import recycled pellets from countries such as Southeast Asia. The number of recycled pellets imported from Southeast Asia has gradually decreased, while that of the United States, Europe and other countries has increased.
After all, developed countries such as Europe and the United States are the source of waste plastics. The local treatment of waste plastics is also in line with the spirit of the Basel Convention. This will be the future development trend of the waste plastics industry.
Downstream products companies fought abroad
Because the gap of domestic recycled granules still exists, some downstream enterprises of recycled granules turn to foreign development, Southeast Asia is still the first choice. It is also a good process to process plastics in countries that allow imported plastics, and then directly produce plastic products. The choice. As long as the local laws are strictly observed, developing countries such as Southeast Asia still need foreign investors to create profits.
The year of 2018 is coming to an end, and the era of China's imports of waste plastics is coming to an end, but the Chinese market still needs a lot of recycled particles. Although there have been many storms in the process of importing recycled particles in China, the market has a strong regulatory effect. The market demand is, the enterprise will find ways to meet the needs of the market.
