Recycling will become the mainstream of green development of plastics

At present, the world has formed a consensus on the green development of plastics.

The study found that although degradable plastics will develop to a certain extent under the promotion of policies, the cost is high, the future capacity is overcapacity, and the contribution to emission reduction is not obvious

Strengthening plastic recycling is the mainstream international trend

Solving the problem of white pollution caused by waste plastics is the original intention of most countries in the world to introduce policies related to plastics governance

Increasing the proportion of plastic recycling is the first choice of developed countries

At the technical level, the current research on green development of plastics in developed countries mainly focuses on the design of easy recycling of plastic products and the development of chemical recycling technology

Plastic recycling mainly includes two utilization methods: physical regeneration and chemical regeneration

Easy recycling design, as the name implies, is that plastic-related products take their recycling factors into account in the production design process, thereby greatly improving the plastic recycling rate

The development of my country's green plastics industry is accelerating

In 2020, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued the "Opinions on Further Strengthening the Control of Plastic Pollution", covering the management and disposal requirements at all stages of the life cycle of plastic products, and addressing various issues in all aspects of waste plastic recycling and regeneration.

In the future, China's plastic recycling rate will increase significantly

Recycled plastics have a huge impact on carbon neutrality

However, China's plastic recycling industry still faces many problems

There are many constraints on the development of degradable plastics

Degradable plastics, also known as environmentally degradable plastics, refer to a class of plastics that can be completely degraded into carbon dioxide, methane, water and mineralized inorganic salts of the elements contained in them, as well as new biomass under various conditions in nature

Express delivery, takeaway, disposable plastic bags, and mulch are the main application areas of degradable plastics in the future

There are several major constraints on the development of degradable plastics: First, the degradation of degradable plastics requires composting after recycling

Policy Suggestions for the Green Development of my country's Plastics Industry

1.

2.

3.
Advocate the whole society to strengthen garbage classification
.
The recycling of plastics is beneficial to the country and the people.
It is necessary to strengthen the education of waste classification in the whole society.
The better the waste classification of consumers, the lower the cost to the whole society in the later stage
.
