New trends in the development of recycled plastics industry

June 22, 2018

As the public's concern for environmental protection continues to rise and the awareness of resource protection increases, the market demand for recycled plastics is growing significantly. Recycled plastics can replace raw materials to a certain extent, covering packaging, automobiles, daily consumer goods, textiles and other fields, and the development of recycled plastics industry has a new trend.

◆ Advanced sorting and cleaning technology

In the production of recycled plastics, sorting and cleaning technologies are key steps to ensure the purity and consistency of the material. As technology advances, modern factories are adopting intelligent, efficient sorting and cleaning systems that can more accurately identify and dispose of waste plastics, thereby improving the quality of recycled plastics and enabling them to compete with native plastics in the market. Domestic equipment manufacturers have also made significant progress in this field, and the technical level is gradually in line with international standards.

◆ Chemical recycling technology

Chemical recycling technology, as an innovative direction in the field of plastic recycling, is able to deal with a wider range of plastic types, including those that are difficult to recycle through physical methods. This technology can convert waste plastics into products that are close to the quality of virgin plastics, and is expected to promote the application of recycled plastics in many fields.

◆ Improvement of production technology

The continuous improvement of recycled plastic production technology, such as advanced extrusion technology, precision filtration technology, efficient odor removal technology and innovative energy saving technology, are constantly improving the quality of recycled plastics to meet the market demand for high-quality recycled plastic particles.

Increased use of consumer brands

With the popularity of the concept of sustainability, more and more consumer brands have begun to use recycled plastic in their products to replace some of the original plastic. These brands use recycled plastics in a number of areas such as packaging, clothing, electronics and household products, driving the growth in demand for recycled plastics.

◆ Policy support

Policy support is a key factor in promoting the development of the recycled plastics industry. Governments around the world are developing or implementing policies to promote the use of recycled plastics.

◆ Cooperation between enterprises

Cooperation between companies is essential to advance recycling technologies and expand the market for recycled plastics. In recent years, the cooperation between petrochemical enterprises, brand enterprises, retail enterprises, equipment enterprises and plastic recycling enterprises has become increasingly close, which has jointly promoted the development of the entire industry chain.
