Waste plastics industry needs to break through barriers to development

In recent years, the sharp increase in plastic waste and the resulting social and environmental problems cited concern. According to statistics, the global consumption of plastic to grow at a rate of 8% per year, the annual consumption of plastic in 2030 will reach more than 7 million tons. While China is a big country of plastic production and consumption of plastic, how to solve the pollution problem of waste plastics and plastic waste is imminent.
Under such background, the waste plastic recycling industry emerges as the times require. Through the recycling of waste plastics, recycling and use, to minimize the environmental pollution of waste plastics.
Waste plastics industry needs to break through the barriers to development
Plastic recycling is an efficient, environmental protection, recycling, recycling of plastic energy is required for the production of new materials is only 1/10, resulting in the pollution of landfill 1/10. Since 2006, China has accumulated a total of 1.2 tons of recycled waste plastic. Calculated in accordance with the 1 tons of synthetic resin consumption of 3 tons of crude oil, equivalent to saving 3.6 tons of crude oil.
Over the past ten years, is the rapid development of China's waste plastic recycling industry for ten years. Recycling industry recycled aggregate, practitioners continues to expand the scale, improve regenerated technology, the level of processing equipment, products cover a wide range, public concern about high, has formed a resource type environmental protection industry, to promote the development of circular economy.
At present, China is engaged in the processing of waste plastic production enterprises more than 1, large and medium-sized enterprises have reached more than half of the total amount of waste plastic processing industry, the backbone of the industry is gradually forming.
However, the industry is still faced with many barriers and problems need to break through. For example, technical level is low, mainly to the traditional technology, new technology, new technology application; value-added products is not high, mainly in the production of low-end renewable raw materials, large scale but low profit; production equipment behind, many operations rely on artificial, low automation and the integrated degree; inadequate investment in R & D, do not pay enough attention to the scientific and technological innovation, technical level is low. Some small businesses due to the small size, management is not standardized, there are two pollution and production safety problems such as hidden.
