    【Chemical machinery and equipment network industry dynamics】Foreign garbage, that is, imported solid waste
    .
    Although many of these foreign garbage are rich in renewable resources, on the whole, the garbage that comes from "crossing the ocean" is not a "good stubble", and the environmental pollution problem it causes cannot be
    underestimated.

     
    When the "foreign garbage" is over-hoarded, the burden of water, atmosphere, soil and other environments will increase, after all, the carrying capacity of the environment is limited, and finally, the problem of environmental pollution will appear
    one by one.
    As the saying goes, "Green water and green mountains are gold and silver mountains", a good ecological environment is a huge asset, and it is not advisable to find value in environmental damage
    .

     
    With the increasing improvement of economic strength and scientific research level, China resolutely decided to say no to "foreign garbage"!
     
    As early as 2017, the Central Deep Restructuring Conference deliberated and adopted the Implementation Plan on Banning the Entry of Foreign Garbage and Promoting the Reform of the Solid Waste Import Management System, and began to start the systematic work
    of banning "foreign garbage".
    In March 2018, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment deliberated and adopted in principle a number of relevant documents such as the "Implementation Plan for the Comprehensive Implementation of the Implementation Plan for Banning the Import of Foreign Garbage and Promoting the Reform of the Solid Waste Import Management System" at the first executive meeting of the Ministry, and further implemented the relevant documents and regulations
    prohibiting the import of solid waste.

     
    After that, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment will jointly issue a relevant announcement with relevant departments prohibiting the import of solid waste, and clarify that from January 1, 2021, China prohibits the import of solid waste
    in any way.

     
    In recent years, China has investigated more than 500 criminal cases of smuggling "foreign garbage", investigated and dealt with more than 1.
    5 million tons of smuggled waste, and official data shows that as of November 15, 2020, the total amount of solid waste imports in the country decreased by 41%
    year-on-year.

     
    At the same time, in order to further enrich the access to resources and expand environmental protection benefits, China is also looking for countermeasures
    in resource recycling.
    According to statistics, China's annual renewable resources can be recycled nearly 100 million tons, which can solve the problem of some resource shortages to a certain extent and promote the deepening
    of environmental protection concepts.

     
    From another point of view, "foreign garbage" is no longer and will greatly accelerate the development of China's renewable resource recycling industry, and improving the recycling rate and connecting the recycling chain are the development focus
    of China's renewable resource recycling enterprises.

     
    On October 21, 2022, Zhai Qing, vice minister of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, publicly stated at a press conference that over the past decade, China's pollution prevention and control has developed in depth and solved a large number of outstanding ecological and environmental problems
    .
    In 2021, China completely banned the import of foreign garbage and achieved the goal
    of zero import of solid waste.

     
    Imported foreign garbage is gradually becoming history, and China's solid waste pollution prevention and control has taken another solid step! And the resource recycling market will continue to expand and upgrade!
     
    Original: "foreign garbage" is no more, China has achieved a "new achievement" of zero solid waste import!
