The global epidemic-related plastic waste is about 8 million tons!

The production of one ton of plastic produces about 5.

In the US "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences", the first large-scale study of the plastic produced by the epidemic was conducted

The Economic Account of Plastic Recycling

Wang Yonggang, secretary general of the Recycled Plastics Branch of the China Materials Recycling Association, said that in theory, all plastics are recyclable, but it depends on the return of recycling and the economic benefits obtained

As the global consumer market and brand owners pay more attention to recycled materials, as well as the promotion of China's "dual carbon" goal, the market demand for recycled plastics has grown rapidly in recent years

In July of this year, the American Chemical Society (ACC) proposed that Congress pass a national standard for recycled plastics, requiring the adoption of the "National Recycled Plastics Standard" and that all plastic packaging use at least 30% recycled materials by 2030

"Double carbon" blows new air

This year's hot "dual carbon" concept has created a new outlet for the recycling industry

Hu Pengyan, R&D director of Zhejiang Yingruite Recycled Materials Technology Co.

The promotion of China's "dual carbon" goal and the low-carbon trend of the global supply chain have made them clear the direction of transition to high-value, and they are also looking forward to the penetration of carbon trading to bring them tangible benefits

On September 15, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued the "14th Five-Year Plan" action plan for plastic pollution control, strengthening the recycling of waste plastics, and explicitly encouraging the use of waste plastics at the same level and high added value

Jiang Nanqing also pointed out that more and more brands have put forward their own "zero carbon" goals, and 80% of the carbon emissions of brands are indirect emissions, so it is necessary to promote carbon emission reduction in the front-end supply chain and back-end consumption, thereby promoting More recycling companies have entered their own supply chains

"In the recycling and recycling industry of waste plastics, there is no obstacle to recycling technology.

At present, China Plastics Processing Industry Association is working on carbon reduction quantification standards for different varieties of recycled plastics to promote the upgrading of the recycling industry
