Prospects for the future development of the recycled plastics industry are optimistic

1. Environmental advantages

Saving resources has always been advocated by everyone, so the awakening of recycled materials is also inevitable, so that people can truly achieve environmental protection and energy conservation through the recycling of resources. Recycled plastics have great environmental advantages over traditional plastics. In the case of polyester, the energy demand for reclaimed polyester is less than 2/3 of the original, and 2/3 of the sulfur dioxide and 1/2 of the nitrogen dioxide are reduced, the water consumption is also reduced by 10 times, and the original plastic is not needed. Landfill disposal.

After the technological innovation of product and industrial structure adjustment, China's recycled plastics industry has made great progress, and is developing towards high quality, multi-variety and high technology. The recycled plastics market environment has already begun to take shape. Recycled plastics can be seen in the fields of textiles, automobiles, food and beverage packaging, and electronics. In addition, a city consumes more than 10 tons of plastic food bags and other plastic products every day. There are also a large number of waste plastics that can be recycled in rural areas. China has formed a large-scale recycling of old plastics trading centers and processing centers, and the prospects of recycled plastics industry. I am optimistic.

Relevant experts suggest that the domestic recycled plastics industry should firmly grasp the historical opportunities of development, and do a good job in the scale of industrialization, thus promoting the pace of industrialization and leap-forward development of the industry.

2. Under the ban, it fills the domestic gap

In order to prevent the pollution caused by primary processing from being further transferred to the country, the state bans the import of waste plastics from domestic sources, unsorted waste paper, and four types of 24 kinds of solid waste such as textile waste and vanadium slag. The implementation began in late 2017. In this way, the blank left by the recycled raw materials of imported waste plastics will be replaced by other plastic materials. As a market that is eager for profit, if the new plastics are completely replaced, it will bring excessive cost to the enterprise. Recycled plastic is a very good choice. In addition, recycled plastic is not prohibited. Although China's recycling classification system is not perfect, there are still many shortcomings, but the demand development industry, the domestic market demand for the possibility of recycled plastics will further promote the improvement of the industry system and the transformation of the industry.

3. Policy boosts recycled plastics

In 2020, domestic recycling of waste plastics will reach 23 million tons. It is necessary to accelerate the efficient use of renewable resources and the development of industry norms. Focus on the main renewable resources such as waste plastics, and accelerate the promotion and application of advanced and applicable recycling technologies and equipment. Construct a batch of renewable resource industry clusters, promote the coordinated use of renewable resources across regions, build a regional recycling resource recycling system, and promote the gradual standardization of the industry order.

In May 2017, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the “Circular Development Leading Action”, which proposed that by 2020, the recycling rate of major wastes will reach 54.6%; it should promote the recycling of industrial waste, promote the recycling of renewable resources, upgrade and support remanufacturing. The industrialization standardization and large-scale development, the construction of regional resource recycling system. Promote the extension of producer responsibility system and establish a system for the promotion and use of recycled products and recycled raw materials.

In August 2017, the Ministry of Environmental Protection issued the “Catalogue for Classified Management of Fixed Pollution Sources and Sewerage Licenses (2017 Edition)”, in which downstream enterprises using recycled plastics as raw materials need to apply for sewage discharge permits before 2020. Applying for a sewage discharge permit, restricting the pollutant discharge behavior of each polluter, requires that it must be certified to discharge pollutants and discharge pollutants according to the certificate, which is conducive to rationalizing environmental supervision procedures and reshaping China's environmental supervision system.

4, recycled plastic itself is powerful

The biggest advantage of recycled materials is that the price is absolutely cheaper than the new material. It can also process certain attributes according to different needs, and can produce corresponding products, so that resources will not be lost. Coupled with the development of technology, the current recycled plastics have a certain elasticity, high strength and wear resistance, and good insulation properties.

For example, HIPS is a relatively good recycled plastic on the market, and its impact strength is very high, more than 4 times higher than plastic raw material ABS. Its electrical insulation is also very good, HIPS is easy to color, easy to print, and the disadvantages of fragility and impact resistance can be solved by rubber modification.
