Maoming Petrochemical has successfully developed China's first blown heavy packaging film unit

Recently, at the site of the first batch load test of domestic blown heavy-duty film units, more than 20 domestic and foreign large-scale petrochemical companies have shown great interest in domestically produced units whose technical performance has reached international standards. The trial run of the blown heavy-duty film unit developed for Sinopec Maoming Petrochemical Company marks the end of the long history of imported resin refill film used in the petrochemical industry in China.

At present, the production equipment of resin packaging bags used by domestic petrochemical enterprises is imported from abroad, and the price is extremely expensive. The blow-molded heavy-duty film unit developed by Dalian Rubber & Plastics Company can not only completely replace imported equipment, but also the price is only imported equipment. one third. Its technical performance has reached the international advanced level, and it is the first domestic blow-molded repackaging film unit with independent intellectual property rights. Germany's regulations on the recycling of plastic packaging waste are the most complete in the world, and its management attitude is very clear: First, "to avoid production", then "recycling" and "final disposal".

In June 1996, the German government promulgated the first packaging waste disposal regulations - the "Regulations for Packaging Waste Disposal." It stipulates that the unavoidable disposable plastic packaging waste must be reused or recycled, and each enterprise is obliged to bear the responsibility for recovery, but it can also entrust the recycling company to complete the replacement. The Dual System Deutschland (DSD), also known as Green Point, is a company that specializes in waste recycling. The company also set up a DKR joint-stock company to recover waste plastic packaging. In 1991, Germany issued the “Regulations on Packaging”, which stipulated that 60% of recycled plastics must be mechanically recycled, and the other 40% can be recycled mechanically, or it can be landfill or energy recovery. This recycling target must be based on nation-wide statistics. After the verified data report is submitted to the national environmental department, the industrial and commercial enterprises that have fulfilled their recovery obligations can be exempt from part of the tax.

In the “Regulations on Packaging”, a strict classification of domestic waste has been introduced, which requires consumers to put plastic bags or plastic packaging materials into yellow bins for recycling. But at present, the regulations for plastic waste have changed. In December 2002, the German Supreme Court issued the latest decree: all stores are required to begin collecting packaging deposits for canned and bottled drinks from customers in January 2003. PET plastic bottles used for beer and beverages, which cost less than 0.25 euros for foods up to 1.5 liters, and double deposits for more than 1.5 liters. The store returns the deposit to the customer when the customer returns the package. However, the packaging of wine, liquor, milk, fruit juices and other commodities is not included in the list.

According to a survey by DKR Recycling, 89% of German consumers agree that plastics are widely remanufactured; about 40% of Germans refuse to use packages that have no value. It can thus be seen that the country’s outstanding achievements in waste recovery have benefited from the environmental awareness of the general public.

The relevant regulations and practical operations formulated by the European Union are basically borrowed from Germany. EU countries have also formulated specific targets for plastic packaging recycling. However, the recycling rate of plastic packaging has only reached 4 countries, of which Germany, Austria and Belgium are at the forefront.
