The domestic plastic market price has a slight fluctuation

It is understood that over the past decade, China's imports of solid waste (waste plastics, waste paper, scrap metal, etc.) total more than 500 million tons, the average annual imports of raw materials used to achieve nearly 50 million tons of waste.

Among them, the United States as China's largest importer of solid waste, according to the United States Waste Metal Recycling Industry Association (ISRI) statistics, in 2016 China imported from the United States worth $ 5.6 billion in scrap metal products. In addition, China has imported US $ 1.9 billion in waste paper (totaling 13.2 million tons) and US $ 495 million of waste plastics (1.42 million tons) from the United States.

However, according to the Ministry of Environmental Protection issued the "2016 National Large and Medium City Solid Waste Pollution Prevention Annual Report" shows that imports of waste 46.98 million tons in 2015, compared with 2014 imports decreased by about 5.3%. Engaged in the import and export of waste processing enterprises 2142, compared with 2014 decreased by about 7.6%.

In the halt of four types of solid waste imports, the domestic solid waste market will become the only source of recycling enterprises, the domestic supply can fill the gap?

First, a group of data, 2015, 246 large and medium cities in general industrial solid waste production amounted to 1.91 billion tons, of which the comprehensive utilization of 1.18 billion tons, the disposal of 440 million tons, storage capacity of 340 million tons, dumping volume of 170,000 tons.

"Prohibit the import of China's overall plastic foam recycling industry does not have much impact on the short term may be specialized in the import of waste plastics enterprises may have a certain impact, long-term lack of China's domestic waste plastics industry can promote the development." Chen Jianping said that the next step Need to strengthen China's domestic solid waste recovery system system to improve the work.

As for the price, a number of enterprises engaged in the import of solid waste introduced, prohibited imports, the domestic solid waste market prices may have small fluctuations, but the original domestic market prices are continuing to decline, the scale of domestic solid waste is also Large, long-term will not affect the market price.
