In recent years, the state has been actively promoting environmental protection, seizing control on sewage disposal and refuse disposal, and the plastic industry is the focus of environmental protection. Focus on the object.
Coupled with the country’s strict control over the import of “foreign rubbish”, it shows that the country is prepared to take the road of sustainable development and also resolves its determination to protect the environment. In this environment, the situation of the plastic industry can be imagined, but the plastic industry as a recycled plastic industry, his development prospects have been optimistic about many people.
1, environmental advantages
World resources will always be a hot topic for mankind. The slogan of saving resources has slowly gone deep into the hearts of the people. Therefore, the awakening of recycled materials is inevitable, so that people can truly achieve environmental protection and energy conservation through the recycling of resources.
Recycled plastic has a great environmental advantage over traditional plastics. Taking polyester as an example, recycled polyester needs less than two-thirds of its original energy and two-thirds of its sulfur dioxide and one-half of nitrogen dioxide. It also uses 10 times less water and eliminates the need for virgin plastics Landfill disposal.
After technological innovation of products and industrial restructuring, China’s recycled plastics industry has made great progress, is toward high-quality, multi-species, high-tech direction, the recycled plastics market environment has begun to scale. In the textile, automotive, food and beverage packaging, electronics and other fields can be seen recycled plastic figure. In addition, a city consumes more than 10 tons of various plastic products such as plastic food bags every day, and a large amount of waste plastics can be recycled in rural areas. A large number of large-scale recycling trading centers and processing centers for plastic trades have been formed in China, and the prospects for the recycled plastics industry Optimistic.
Experts also suggested that the domestic recycled plastics industry should firmly grasp the historic opportunity for development and do a good job scientifically and scientifically to promote the pace of industrialization and leapfrog development in the industry.
2, the ban order, which fill the domestic blank
In order to stop further transfer of pollution from primary processing to China, the State prohibits the importation of 24 types of solid waste from 4 sources, including waste plastics, unsorted waste paper, textile waste and vanadium slag, The end of 2017 officially started. As a result, the gap left over from the import of raw materials for waste plastics will be replaced by other plastic materials. As a lucrative market, if the complete replacement of new plastics will bring excessive cost to the enterprises, then Recycled plastic is a very good choice. In addition, recycled plastic is not prohibited.
Although China’s recycling classification system is not very perfect, there are still some serious shortcomings. However, the demand for the development of plastics industry in the demand-developing and domestic markets will further promote the improvement of the industrial system and the transformation of the industry .
3, policies to promote renewable plastics
The “Industrial Green Development Plan (2016-2020)” requires that by 2020, the domestic recycling amount of waste plastics will reach 23 million tons. To speed up the efficient use of renewable resources and industrial norms. Around the main recycling of waste plastics and other resources to speed up the application of advanced recycling technology and equipment to promote the use. We will build a number of industrial clusters for renewable resources, promote coordinated utilization of renewable resources across regions, build a recycling system for regional renewable resources and promote the gradual standardization of industrial order.
In May 2017, the NDRC issued the “Cyclic Development Leading Action” and proposed that by 2020, the main waste recycling rate should reach 54.6%. It is necessary to promote the recycling of industrial waste, promote the upgrading and recycle of renewable resources and support the remanufacturing Industrialization and standardization of large-scale development, construction of regional resource recycling system. Promote the extension of producer responsibility system, the establishment of renewable products and the promotion of the use of raw materials system.
In August 2017, the Ministry of Environmental Protection issued the “Classified Management List of Discharge Permits for Fixed Pollution Sources (2017 Edition)”, of which, downstream enterprises that use recycled plastics as raw materials should apply for a pollutant discharge permit by 2020. To apply for a sewage permit to restrain the sewage discharge of each polluter requires that it must certify the sewage and discharge it according to the permit so as to streamline the environmental supervision procedures and reshape the environmental regulatory system in China.
4, recycled plastic itself powerful
The biggest advantage of renewable materials is that the price is definitely cheaper than the new material, but also according to different needs, processing a certain aspect of the property, can produce the corresponding product can, so will not let the loss of resources. Coupled with advances in technology, making the recycled plastic has a certain degree of flexibility, high strength and wear resistance, better insulation properties.
For example, HIPS is a better recycled plastic on the market, its impact strength is very high, more than 4 times higher than the plastic material abs. Its electrical insulation is also very good, HIPS easier to color, but also easy to print. And the special fragile, impatience shortcomings can be modified with rubber to solve.
Conclusion
Due to its natural advantages of environmental protection, making recycled plastics more and more favored. The era of environmental protection, recycled plastics will be touted! Recycled plastic will be the development trend of the plastics industry, and its bright future!
