    [ Hot attention from Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network ] According to statistics, the use of plastics today is 20 times that of half a century ago, and it is expected that the production and use of plastics will double in the next 20 years.

     
    Chemical machinery and equipment network hotspots pay attention to chemical machinery and equipment
    In this context, it is imperative to promote the treatment of plastic pollution, especially to accelerate the realization of modernization of treatment capabilities.

     

    In recent years, with the development of new business formats such as express delivery and food delivery, plastic pollution control has faced new situations and challenges: the consumption of disposable plastic products has continued to rise, but the governance model has not yet been formed and there are insufficient substitutes.

     
    plastic products
    In this regard, relevant departments require that by 2022, a batch of replicable and extendable plastic reduction and green logistics models can be formed in emerging fields such as e-commerce, express delivery, and takeaway.

     

    *Academician pointed out that "plastic products cover a wide range of fields, and in the short term, it is necessary to use it and solve the problems that arise.
    "
     

    The circular economy has thus been put on the agenda and is an important goal of plastic pollution control.
    Reduction, substitution, reuse, recycling, etc.
    are important means.

     

      With regard to the production of substitutes, some people in the industry said that there is no need to worry too much.
    Statistics show that by the end of 2020, the consumption of banned plastic products will be around 300,000 tons, while the production capacity of biodegradable plastics in the same period will be around 400,000 tons.
    According to experts, by the end of 2025, the total demand for plastic products involved in bans in relevant policies is expected to exceed one million tons.

     

      Special attention should be paid to forcing the industry to transform to reduce unnecessary plastic consumption on the demand side, and to carry out eco-design on the production side to reduce unnecessary plastic product investment.
    It requires the participation and joint completion of multiple parties, which is also hindering the promotion of plastic pollution control.
    One of the difficulties in the construction of a modern system.

     

      Compared with the traditional governance system, the modern governance system emphasizes the high degree of participation of multi-stakeholders.
    It requires the government, enterprises, and the public to exercise and distribute political, economic, and administrative powers to manage state or public affairs.
    It requires each subject to be necessary.
    Aware of the need to bear the environmental responsibility for plastic pollution control, so as to reach a consensus to jointly deal with the problem of plastic governance.

     

      In addition, some experts also reminded that to form a more complete plastic recycling economy system, in addition to government and social governance, it is necessary to break through key technologies and achieve industrialization.
    In particular, it is necessary to form a plastic cycle at the molecular level in major products and key nodes.
    Fundamentally innovative solutions.

     

      Especially in plastic recycling.
    According to relevant research, from the perspective of plastic waste flow, recycled plastic waste only accounts for 35%.
    my country’s current plastic recycling industry is relatively surplus of low-end products, and now it is facing new opportunities for transformation.
    As the market pays more attention to recycled plastics, the demand for better quality and more innovative products is gradually increasing, and this will bring the industry More market opportunities.

     

      In addition, plastic products are made of petroleum processing.
    If they can be recycled, they can not only reduce pollution in the petrochemical production process, but also improve the efficiency of my country's scarce oil utilization.

     

      The related policies on plastic pollution control released in January and July 2020 clarified the timetable for the advancement of plastic pollution control in my country.
    On this basis, various localities have responded positively.
    As of the end of October, 28 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) across the country have announced their provincial implementation plans to deploy plastic pollution control as a whole.
    There are also three provincial (municipalities) provincial plans that are also being formulated and are expected to be issued and implemented before the end of the year.

     

      The improvement of the top-level design lays a solid foundation for the next step of governance.
    It can be seen that the construction of a circular economy for plastic pollution control is just around the corner.
