Around 300 million tonnes of plastic are produced globally each year
"Picked up billions of industry"
Modern life has been inseparable from plastic products, the world produces about 300 million tons of plastic every year. Plastic brings convenience to human beings at the same time, because it can not be naturally degraded, the plastic waste generated has also brought great trouble to human beings. How to turn plastic waste into treasure has become the goal of human joint efforts.
Jieshou City, Anhui province because of the large number of people and less land, in the 1970s and 1980s, many people went to various parts of China to collect waste, especially waste plastic. In 2006, Jieshou City led the establishment of Guangwu recycled plastics circular economy Industrial Park. After 10 years of development, the 139 enterprises settled in the park have formed an industrial chain of waste plastic sorting, cleaning, granulation, modified plastics, injection molding products and rolled products. Two discarded plastic bottles are processed and can be turned into a beautiful T-shirt here.
Relying on the recycling of waste plastics, Guangwu Industrial Park has become China's largest rain shoes production base. Through scientific and technological innovation, Kangmingyuan, an enterprise in the park, has modified plastic waste to produce anti-pressure and anti-beating urban sewage pipes.
In 2017, the industrial output value of recycled plastic recycling economy in Guangwu Industrial Park reached 16 billion. By "changing junk and picking up junk", the leader of the sector turned waste into treasure with wisdom and picked up a ten-billion "garbage industry".
