Recycling will become the mainstream of green development of plastics

At present, the global consensus on green development of plastics has been formed. Nearly 90 countries and regions have issued relevant policies or regulations to control or prohibit disposable non degradable plastic products, setting off a new wave of green development of plastics all over the world. In China, green, low-carbon and circular economy has also become the main line of industrial policy during the "fourteenth five year plan".

The study found that although degradable plastics will develop to a certain extent under the promotion of policies, the cost is high, the future overcapacity, and the contribution to emission reduction is not obvious. Plastic recycling meets the requirements of green, low-carbon and circular economy. With the increase of carbon trading price and the collection of carbon border tax, the mandatory addition of recycled materials will become a general trend. Both physical recovery and chemical recovery will increase by ten million tons, especially chemical recovery will become the mainstream of green plastic development, and China's plastic recovery rate will increase to 45%~50% by 2030. The easy recycling design aims to maximize the recycling rate of waste plastics and the high-value utilization rate of recycling. After technological innovation, millions of tons of metallocene plastics market demand may be generated.

Strengthening plastic recycling is the international mainstream trend

To solve the problem of white pollution caused by waste plastics is the original intention of most countries in the world to introduce policies related to plastic treatment. At present, the international response to the problem of waste plastics is mainly to restrict or prohibit the use of plastic products that are difficult to recycle, encourage plastic recycling, and use biodegradable plastics as substitutes. Among them, strengthening plastic recycling is the international mainstream trend.

It is the first choice for developed countries to increase the proportion of plastic recycling. The EU has imposed a "plastic packaging tax" on non recyclable plastics in its member states from January 1, 2021, and banned 10 kinds of disposable plastic products such as expanded polystyrene from entering the European market. The packaging tax forces plastic products enterprises to use recycled plastics. By 2025, the EU will use more recyclable packaging materials. At present, China's annual consumption of plastic raw materials is more than 100million tons, which is expected to reach more than 150million tons by 2030. According to rough calculation, China's plastic packaging exported to the EU will reach 2.6 million tons by 2030, and 2.07 billion euros of packaging tax will be paid. With the continuous promotion of EU plastic packaging tax policy, the domestic plastic market will face challenges. Under the catalysis of packaging tax, it is imperative to add recycled materials to plastic products to ensure the profits of Chinese enterprises.

At the technical level, the current research on the green development of plastics in developed countries mainly focuses on the easy recycling design of plastic products and the development of chemical recycling technology. Although biodegradable technology was first initiated by European and American countries, its enthusiasm for technology promotion is not high at present.

Plastic recycling mainly includes two ways of utilization: physical recycling and chemical recycling. Physical regeneration is the mainstream way of plastic regeneration at present, but because each regeneration will reduce the quality of recycled plastic, mechanical physical regeneration has certain limitations. For plastic products with low quality or difficult to regenerate, chemical recovery method can generally be adopted, that is, waste plastics can be refined as "crude oil", so as to realize the material reuse of waste plastics, and avoid the degradation of conventional physical recovery products.

Easy recycling design, as the name suggests, means that the recycling factors of plastic related products are taken into account in the production and design process, so as to greatly improve the plastic recycling rate. For example, the packaging bags previously produced by PE, PVC and PP are produced by using metallocene polyethylene (MPE) of different brands, which is conducive to recycling.
