China Drying News With the development of the plastics industry, plastic materials and products are widely used in the fields of workers and peasants and people's lives. The market demand for plastics in the Chinese market is still far greater than domestic production capacity. In order to reduce costs and improve environmental awareness, plastics manufacturers have turned to buy recycled plastics. Recycling of imported waste plastics has eased the shortage of raw materials supply and demand in the domestic market. With the large fluctuations in the international and domestic plastic raw material markets, the market for recycled plastics has been in short supply, and the import of waste plastics has also increased significantly.

However, as China is currently importing large quantities of waste plastics, there has been opposition in China. Customs officials said that the prices of various scraps generated from various plastics are quite different, which can easily cause low-quote prices to occur; environmentalists are concerned that waste plastics can cause environmental pollution during processing, especially at low levels. The advantage of price impacts the degradable packaging that is being promoted by the catering industry.

In order to strengthen pollution prevention and treatment of waste plastics processing and utilization, protect the people's health, ensure environmental safety, and promote the healthy development of circular economy, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Commerce jointly formulated Regulations on the Administration of Pollution Prevention and Treatment of Waste Plastics.

The "Regulations" require that imported waste plastics processing and utilization enterprises shall comply with the "Administrative Measures for the Import of Solid Wastes" and the relevant regulations of the Ministry of Environmental Protection on the import of solid wastes and solid plastics used as raw materials. Waste plastic. It is forbidden to transfer all or part of the imported waste plastics to units or individuals other than those that are specified in the import license, including entrusting imported plastics to other companies for cleaning. The residual waste plastics produced during the sorting, processing and utilization process of imported waste plastics shall be harmlessly used or disposed of; it is forbidden to sell the above-mentioned residual plastics without cleaning. Imported waste paper processing and utilization enterprises shall conduct harmless use or disposal of waste plastics in imported waste paper; it is forbidden to sell waste plastics in imported waste paper without washing.

The introduction of the new regulations has a considerable impact on the flow and balance of the global waste plastics market. The Plastics Recycling Special Committee of the China Plastics Processing Industry Association stated that if the import of waste plastics without cleaning is prohibited, it will actually cause severe operational difficulties for imported waste plastics processing companies other than PET bottle chip processing. At present, the control measures for imported waste plastics have been very stringent. The double checks at overseas commodity inspections and port commodity inspections have been effective in preventing the entrainment of contraband and pollutants. Most of the processing companies are also law-abiding because of management oversights. Malicious behavior and raising the level of control over the entire industry will limit the normal operation of law-abiding businesses and will not be a result of the healthy development of the industry.

Therefore, for China's waste plastics import industry, the full implementation of the new national regulations, and strengthen the supervision of waste plastics imports, is an effective way to prevent waste plastics processing and utilization of pollution.
