"Take over the old refrigerator, the old color TV, the old washing machine..."
The slogans with greasy accents set our generation's first image of the waste industry, and then, people's image of the waste industry is probably the stacked cardboard and plastic bottles in the takeover station
Waste takeover, a lively industry in small towns, seems to have drifted away from the edge of contemporary existence. But in fact, Adam Minter, an American journalist, mentioned in the book waste planet that the annual turnover of global takeover industry once reached up to 500 billion US dollars, which is probably Norway's GDP, and is the industry with global employees next to agriculture.
It's not as spicy as we think
"All the waste products in the world are for profit"
"The world is bustling for profit, the world is bustling for profit." waste taking over and recycling application is a long chain. People's original idea of doing this is not environmental protection, but profit. Even if waste is born, its shadow of blood is indispensable. The globalization of waste taking over industry used to be a permanent feature of the world economy. It is no different from the globalization of intelligent machine manufacturing industry and will never shrink.
1. Profit seeking of manufacturers, birth of "decision-making waste"
Generally speaking, the birth of waste products is that the application price and commercial price of a product are close to zero, which is the natural end of the product life. But in practice, there are also signs of product life-span reduction, especially in the manufacturing of electronic waste products, many hardware manufacturers may have to bear a large number of obligations
On the one hand, building manufacturers adopt the "decision-making scrap" strategy to shorten the life of electronic buildings, with the goal of upgrading users to new buildings. Apple has recognized that the new IOS system will actively limit the building function, and users have to change new machines for better application experience
On the other hand, sharing bicycles becomes a disaster. Idle bicycles, which are probably destroyed with determination, have to move in the chain of household goods and become a "new blood" in the waste taking over industry. In 2019, a lot of waste blocks were found in several takeover stations in Changsha, including Mobai, harrow, ofo and other bikes
Because of the need of profit seeking, the "decision-making waste" is found first, but the environmental trend is short of a counterbalance mechanism, which makes the problem of waste products more important. The limitation of metal resources also makes people important. For example, the mobile phone antenna absorbs coltan iron needed for Wi Fi. The deposits are not rich. If this kind of metal runs out of life in electronic buildings, and can't be taken over and disposed of very well, people will probably need to spend more money in pursuit of substitutes in the future.
2. Recycling economy, discovery and suspension of "scrap business"
In the 20 years from 1995 to 2016, China's annual waste import increased from 4.5 million tons to 46.58 million tons, a tenfold increase. In 2016 alone, China absorbed 56% of the world's export waste products. Here, "foreign waste" is indeed "foreign resources", and this method of resource regeneration is also the inevitable choice to carry out the reincarnation economy.
However, in the face of tens of thousands of tons of "foreign waste", China has not yet made a comprehensive preparation. China's waste takeover industry is not mature enough in terms of discipline and sorting. The improper disposal of "foreign waste" has inspired public dissatisfaction. It was not until this year that the ban on the entry of foreign waste products was introduced that the verbal criticism of "foreign waste products" came to an end. In fact, no matter the "dumping" trick of "foreign waste products" or the control of China's big powers, the need of domestic environmental trends for raw materials is the ultimate referee Once there is no need for recycled materials, waste sorting and taking over will become an act of peace of mind.
Forever, the ultimate target of the ban is undoubtedly to improve the utilization rate of domestic solid waste, even to force the classification of front-end waste, and stimulate the development of the recycling economy. Taking the waste plastics industry as an example, the annual import volume of China's waste plastics soared from 300000 tons in 1992 to 7.34 million tons in 2016. After the "foreign waste" was sealed, China's waste plastics enterprises need to experience the domestic waste classification and solid waste takeover system to make up for the millions of tons of raw materials gap every year.
The scrap took over the second half, still pausing on the appearance of the story
Compared with the international waste materials receiving housekeeper, the domestic renewable resources housekeeper is still in the development period of environmental trend, and it is found that it is developing steadily and well. According to the related data, in the first half of 2018, there were more than 5000 enterprises engaged in the takeover of renewable resources, more than 3000 processing factories, about 1.4 million employees and 160000 online stores all over the world. With the annual closing of this year stopped, the total value of ten types of renewable resources takeover in China has reached 755.07 billion yuan, an increase of 28.7% year on year.
Now, the domestic waste industry's home chain used to be basically bribed, including front-end classification, site takeover and takeover of processing plants and other checkpoints. The whistle of the waste takeover industry once sounded. At the front of the takeover, "intelligent takeover box" mode is very common, that is to say, to use unmanned intelligent terminal, adopt classified takeover cabinets, waste boxes, waste kiosks and other modes,
