    [ Focus on Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network ] A few days ago, at the 4th China International Import Expo, Covestro signed a letter of intent for cooperation with Weixiang, a provider of environmental recycling and recycling services
    .
    According to this agreement, Weixiang will be responsible for collecting waste electrical and electronic products, dismantling, sorting, cleaning and repelling them
    .
    Covestro modified the recycled plastics provided by Weixiang to form a circular economy model of plastic recycling, modification, and reuse, creating a true closed loop of recycling for the electrical and electronic industries
    .

     
    Chemical machinery and equipment network hotspots pay attention to chemical machinery and equipment
    In recent years, the closed-loop recycling concept of plastics has become the focus of attention in the field of renewable plastics
    .
    Compared with waste paper and scrap metal, waste plastics are relatively complicated to recycle due to their complex composition and different forms
    .
    Therefore, the high-value recycling of waste plastics has always been a bottleneck in promoting sustainable development
    .
    How to effectively recycle a huge number of plastic products is the key to establishing an efficient closed-loop plastic recycling model
    .

    Guolong Renewable Resources Development Co.
    , Ltd.
    in Wuzhou, Guangxi has formed a characteristic closed-loop business model of waste plastic recycling-cleaning-bottle flakes-granulation-products-sales: the upstream is the recycling of waste plastics, the midstream is the processing of plastic products, and the downstream is the product.
    Sales and application
    .
    Among them, in the sorting process, Guolong Festival introduced a total of 14 Tao Lang sorting machines
    .
    It is reported that Guolong has completed the fully closed-loop production mode using PET and HDPE recycled materials, and a total of 16 production lines for the RPET and RHDPE projects have been fully put into operation
    .

     

    At present, there is a prominent problem in China's plastic recycling industry.
    Although the sorting, cleaning, crushing, and granulation of waste plastics are very mature in technology, recycling companies suffer from the front-end collection of waste
    .
    In this regard, building a scientific and standardized waste plastic collection and transportation system is also one of Guolong's important strategic layouts
    .
    In recent years, Guolong has established a recycling network system that has obtained GRS international certification throughout the entire province of Guangxi, and has established waste plastic recycling stations in 14 prefecture-level cities in Guangxi
    .
    This not only guarantees a continuous source of waste plastics, but also solves the problem of uneven quality of waste plastics at the source
    .

     

      On November 6, 2021, Unilever and Alibaba Group announced the "Digital Synergy, Green and Win-Win" plan during the 4th CIIE
    .
    So far, the two sides have upgraded their cooperation in the practice of low-carbon development, and will deepen innovative cooperation in the fields of green supply chain, green digital marketing system, and green shelves
    .
    During the Double Eleven this year, Unilever has selected the plastic-free and recyclable green logistics solutions provided by Cainiao
    .

     

      It is understood that Unilever and Alibaba have already released the "Plastic Cleansing Action" sustainable project at the third CIIE last year
    .
    The project is committed to building a domestic large-scale AI closed-loop plastic recycling system, and has been selected into the United Nations Sustainable Development Good Practice Case Library
    .
    By launching offline recycling equipment with AI recognition function, the recycled plastic bottles are automatically identified, and then the plastic bottles are transported to the recycled plastic processing center, so that these high-quality plastics can be used again after processing and processing
    .

     

      In the future, China will gradually solve the environmental hazards caused by waste plastics through three methods: reduction at the source of plastics, replacement of degradable plastics, and recycling of plastics
    .
    At present, driven by the stable plastic closed-loop industrial chain model, China's recycled plastics industry is developing in the direction of high quality, multiple varieties, and high technology, and the recycled plastics market environment has begun to take shape
    .
    For example, recycled plastics can be seen in fields such as automobiles, food and beverage packaging, and electronics
    .

     

      The healthy and orderly development of the recycled plastics industry is inseparable from policy guidance and support
    .
    Especially in the current severe environmental protection situation, the policy orientation of China's recycled plastics industry is more obvious
    .
    On September 15, 2021, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued the "14th Five-Year Plan of Action for Plastic Pollution Control"
    .
    The action clearly calls for strengthening the recycling of waste plastics, encouraging the use of waste plastics at the same level and with high added value, and opening up a broad market space for the recycling of waste plastics
    .
