    In the past two years, the domestic waste classification policy has been implemented, and waste recycling and back-end recycling have been strengthened


    .


    Tomorrow is the official handover day of the old and new "Solid Waste Law".
    From tomorrow, the import pattern of recycled plastics will be rewritten


    .


    At present, the incident of individual shipping companies suspending the receipt of imported recycled plastic particles has triggered extensive discussions in the industry.
    The core point is that receiving recycled plastic particles imported from China will bear joint responsibility


    .


    Companies with related businesses will take the action of changing shipping companies


    .


    COSCO North America Shipping announced that it will stop accepting solid waste shipped to mainland China from September 1


    .


    Since the ban on waste, the policy adjustment and unified standards for the import of recycled plastic pellets have attracted much attention from the industry


    .


    Other waste descriptions are more in line with industry perceptions, but pellets are also banned, raising questions about banning the import of recycled plastic pellets


    .


    Because the new "Solid Waste Law" clarifies that the country gradually realizes zero import of solid waste, and increases the penalties for solid waste violations and crimes, and clarifies that the carrier and the importer bear joint and several liability (some illegal acts can be punished by more than 500,000 yuan and 500 yuan).
    The new Solid Waste Law will come into force on September 1, 2020


    .


    Affected by this, shipping companies are worried that they may be jointly and severally liable.
    At present, only COSCO Shipping has issued a statement.
    Currently, China Shipping, Yangming, Evergreen, ONE, CMA, etc.
    are the main shipping companies that import recycled plastic pellets.
    The company has yet to make a statement

    .

    It is worth noting that recycled pellets are a finished product, not solid waste
    .

    The future trend will be that with the implementation of the new "Solid Waste Law", low-end imported pellets will gradually be rejected from the country, and high-quality imported pellets will be the main source
    .

    But now, in view of the fact that there is no unified national standard for the import of recycled plastic particles, the bosses who have overseas import and export business still have to be careful
    .

    The following are the precautions for importing pellets:
