my country has become the world's largest plastic production and consumption country

Zhu Wenwei, chairman of China Plastics Processing Industry Association, said that in just a few decades, plastics and their products have spread across all fields of national economy and social life, from industry to agriculture, from production to life, from scientific research to application, from materials to Terminals all play a huge and irreplaceable ro.

Zhu Wenwei previously said at the "Polymer Materials Sustainable Development Engineering Technology Forum" that while serving economic and social development, the plastics industry has also achieved its own developme.

In 2018, the total output of enterprises above designated size in the national plastic products industry was 64215 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 1

While the industry is developing rapidly, the plastics industry is also striving to implement the concept of ecological environmental protection and achieve the goal of sustainable development through practical actio.

30 million tons of waste plastics are used and recycled every year

Zhu Wenwei introduced that plastics have abundant raw material sources, low cost, easy molding and processing, high productivity, light components, high specific strength, wear resistance, self-lubrication, corrosion resistance, good electrical insulation, noise reduction and shock absorpti.

It can be seen that the demand for plastics in the economy and society is huge, and most of the plastics are renewab.

Through organized recycling and development and utilization of green plastic resources, a circular economy model of production-use-recycling-reuse is realiz.

Degradable plastic production accounts for about 25% of the world's production capacity

From 1992 when the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil agreed to implement the sustainable development strategy, to 2015, when the United Nations formulated "Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development", the completion of sustainable development will become the It is an important task for the development of many countri.

Zhu Wenwei said that under the framework of global trends and environmental protection governance, China's plastics processing industry has actively adapted to the situation, strived to seek a sustainable development path, and achieved positive resul.

The industry vigorously develops and produces environmentally friendly materials and products, and has made great progress in the development of biomass plastics and bio-based plastics and the development of fully biodegradable plastic films and degradable disposable plastic produc.

Over 400,000 patent applications

Facing the new era, the plastics industry has reached a critical period of transformation and developme.

As of October 2018, the total number of patent applications in China's plastics processing industry (including resins, additives, processes, machinery and molds) was 434,994, much higher than Japan's 76,189, the United States' 69,460, South Korea's 33,184 and Europe's 15,012 cases, showing the positive and vigorous development trend of China's plastics processing indust.

Zhu Wenwei said that at present, China's plastics processing industry is in a critical stage of transformation and upgrading, and the development of the industry will change from an extensive development mode of scale and increment to an intensive growth of quality and efficiency, and from a high-speed growth stage to a high-quality development sta.

        The progress of technology at this stage will become the main driving force for developme.
