China Plastics Processing Industry Association chairman Liao Zhengpin points out, although China is important plastic consume one of countries, but now nearly half of dependence on imports of plastic raw materials. Mr Liu said: ” China ‘s dependence on imported plastic still amounts to 44%, gap is very big. Recycled plastic is the solution of plastic resources the main auxiliary route. At the same time, plastics recycling industry will help to solve rural labor obtain employment, develop rural economics, increase the income of the farmers and the local tax. Recycled plastics can also promote Plastic Recycling Equipment industry development, such as Plastic Shredder, Plastic Recycling Machine ”
Mr. Liao proposed solution, waste plastics recycling is the key problem to the whole product life cycle, development and design of cheap, good environment compatibility, has a certain strength and functional plastics. He to auto plastics as an example, for the Chinese auto manufacturers widely used plastic, estimates a year can save fuel more than 5000000 tons, is 3500000000 yuan. On the other hand, Mr. Liao pointed out that, due to the domestic electronic waste disposal legislation is not perfect, and people ‘s environmental awareness is still relatively weak, resulting in a large number of electronic waste is not reasonable disposal, environmental pollution and serious waste of resources and other problems remain to be solved.
Computer, TV, freezer products annually produces 500000 tons of above old plastic, if these materials can be fully made use of, then the country a year can save lots of petroleum resources and save a lot of energy. Comparison of developed country and China ‘s per capita consumption of plastics, just visible Chinese plastic industry has great potential for development. China’s per capita consumption of more than46kg,40kgcompared to the world average level for high.
The United States per capita consumption of about 170 kilograms of plastic, Belgium higher amounts to 200 kilograms, other developed country also is in 120 kilograms of above. In 2008, the world of plastic consumption amounts to 2.45 tons, China’s annual consumption of plastic aggregates more than 60000000 tons, accounting for about 24.5% of global consumption. Build China’s green machine is the trend of the times of the fabric is very move, break through the green trade barrier and the way to improve the competitiveness. However, he also mentioned that because of China’s plastics machinery industry in the face of more varieties, lower grades, yield the largest status, to promote the green transformation and industrial upgrading has greater difficulty.
