How should waste plastic recycling companies break the deadlock in 2017?

As the world's largest plastics producer and consumer, China's huge demand makes plastic raw materials a large-scale necessity. Its production sources include the recycling of waste plastics. At present, China's waste plastics mainly include: plastic film (such as agricultural film), woven goods, foam plastics, plastic packaging and containers, and daily-use plastic products. In addition, plastics for automobiles, electronic appliances, home appliances, etc. are also an important source of waste plastics. According to statistics, China's annual production of waste plastics is about 34.13 million tons, and the recycling capacity has reached more than 248.78 million tons, accounting for about 30% of China's plastic consumption. Recycling of waste plastics also provides a lot of work and entrepreneurial opportunities while saving resources and reducing environmental pollution, which plays a vital role in China's economic development.

In recent years, with the large-scale application of plastics, China's plastic recycling industry has become increasingly prosperous. SMEs such as Yongquan appear and have active investment. The number and number of enterprises and personnel engaged in the recycling and processing of recycled plastics have grown steadily and have formed a batch. Large-scale recycled plastic recycling trading market and processing distribution center, the number of plastic recycling enterprises is tens of thousands, recycling outlets all over the country, including Zhejiang, Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu, Fujian, Shandong, Guangdong, Hebei, etc. become plastic processing industry Developed provinces. The report shows that the waste plastics recycling industry has grown into an indispensable resource-based environmental protection industry in economic development.

At the same time of achieving remarkable achievements, China's waste plastics recycling industry also has problems that cannot be ignored. According to statistics, there are about 60,000 household-type waste plastics processing workshops in China. Due to various factors, many enterprises do not operate. Standardization, low resource utilization, and serious environmental pollution. With the implementation of the new environmental protection law, the waste plastics industry, which has been extensively violently developed in the past, has been shut down due to unqualified environmental protection.

Now, more than two years have passed, the implementation of the new environmental protection law, for many small and medium-sized enterprises, is like hitting the snake seven inches. Therefore, many people in the waste plastics industry are looking forward to 2017, the country can relax the standards, then really there will be miracles? Of course not, the implementation of the new environmental protection law will only become more stringent.

Although the new environmental protection law has caused major trauma to small and medium-sized waste plastics recycling enterprises, it is an opportunity for many enterprises. After more than two years of reshuffle, a large number of unqualified SMEs have been shut down, undoubtedly reducing the market competition, and enterprises that survived this wave of reshuffle will finally usher in spring. So in 2017, how should waste plastic recycling companies break the deadlock?

There is an infinitely broad prospect for the development of the recycled plastics industry. This is beyond doubt. However, the high-voltage line of environmental protection hangs over the top of the head. This red line is definitely not able to step on it. Therefore, the elimination of outdated equipment and technology should be placed in the top priority. However, for many small and medium-sized enterprises, the investment in environmental protection and advanced production facilities and equipment is too large, and enterprises cannot afford it. It is necessary to optimize, upgrade and transform the industrial structure. The waste plastics industry must have a certain scale and standardized operation, in line with supply chain management; because of the necessary scale, there will be cost-effectiveness under scale, and it can afford environmental protection and investment in production facilities and equipment. Only the integrated management of the supply chain can reduce the total cost of the product and create unique features of the product. In addition, while optimizing the industrial structure, enterprises should continuously strengthen their professional knowledge and research and development capabilities to comply with the requirements of the times; it is necessary to continuously improve the equipment level, and in practice, the different categories of waste materials are continuously improved and gradually improved. Make production more efficient and control costs. Improve product quality and increase added value.

The times have changed, supply and demand have reversed, so the business model should be more changeable. The business model determines the business model of the enterprise. The previous mainstream business methods have evolved from a large number of sales methods and deep distribution methods to community business methods. Waste plastics companies should also introduce new business models in time and stay ahead of competitors.

In 2016, the state made active explorations in terms of “Extension of Producer Responsibility”, “Eco-design of Product Life Cycle”, and “Encouraging and Promoting the Use of Recycled Raw Materials Recycled Products”. The renewable resources industry has become a national strategic emerging industry, and the country “coordinates the use of renewable resources at home and abroad”. The industry's environmental protection level, industry image, equipment technology, standardized development, and overall industrial strength have all improved. Therefore, in 2017, the waste plastics industry should follow the national policy and improve the industry norms and enterprise production capacity in order to make its own development better.
