AbandonedPETSeventy-two changes in plastic bottles

China's economy to achieve low-carbon development is imperative and a long way to go, renewable resources recycling is one of the important path of carbon emission reduction. Recycled plastics as an important part of the field of recycling, inDriven by the goal of "double carbon", it has attracted wide attention. In recent years, the state has issued a series of policies to encourage the development of related industries, and the efficient recycling, high-quality recycling and application of plastics have gradually become a hot topic in the industry. Polyester plastics (PET) As a kind of general plastic, it is widely used in the beverage industry. The beverage industry is one of the main users of plastic packaging,PETBottles are the most common beverage packaging. Due to the bottle levelPETWith good performance, a wide range of applications, the global demand is growing steadily.So...After the usePETWhere did all the plastic go? How to discard itPETPlastic "waste into treasure"?

PETIs the abbreviation of the chemical substance polyethylene terephthalate, is a kind of commonly used plastic, strong ductility, high transparency, good safety, commonly used in the production of beverage bottles, food packaging materials, widely used in China, consumption. The data shows that,2019Annual consumption of our countryPETDrink bottle weight approx.442Tons,PETUnder natural conditions, it will take at least hundreds of years to completely decompose, bringing a burden to the environment and economy.

But even in a good state of the technical environment, taking into account the acceptance of domestic consumers, most ofPETThe bottle is made of a new plastic with low strength, which is not efficient. Currently in our country,rPETPlastics cannot be used in food packaging. On the other hand, in practical application, many consumer brand enterprises require the proportion of recycled materials is30%, can extendPETcycle of use.IfAlways use100%Recycled materials,PETProductWillIt is significantly reduced, becomes more brittle, and the color turns yellow. This will be no small challenge to the quality and processing technology of recycled raw materials. How to determinerPETWhat about the source and quality? One of the best ways to prove it is through certification. One of the most widely used is through the global recycling standards (GRS）。GRScertification is the global standard for recycling, whileGRSThe Global Recycling Standard was first certifiedCUProposed, the United States Textile Exchange to promote the implementation. The purpose is to call for the global protection of the ecological environment and the implementation of customized standards for sustainable development.In recent years, many domestic plastic enterprisesByGRS,UL2809Environmental certificationgo out of the country,Yujie IndustrialJustYesAmong themA deep plowingPCREnvironmental protection plastic innovation modified enterprises.Yujie Industrial willPETBeverage bottles re-made into food graderPET,IncreaseSetSustainable recycling of environmentally friendly materials production workshop,And through scientific and strict processing technology,Make:RPP,RPE,RABS,RPET,RPC,RPOM,RTPE,RTPUWaitregenerated raw materialTo meet the same requirements as the physical properties of new materials produced by imported international brands and the world's major petrochemical plants, and can meet the needs of high-performance products in other industries such as food, automobile manufacturing, medical electronics and electrical appliances.By North America, Europe, Southeast Asia and other markets welcome. This also proves that recyclingPETIt is an effective recycling method for waste plastics, which plays an important role in the exploration and improvement of waste management system, and has practical significance for promoting the achievement of the "double carbon" goal.
