The first session of the China International Conference of wastepaper utilization held in Beijing. It is reported that, under the influence of policy support and higher prices of waste paper recycling capacity of up to more than 4300 tons, equivalent to an annual 130 million cubic meters less felling timber, saving energy resources and protecting the ecological effect is remarkable. A lot of recycling of waste paper to reduce deforestation, to make up for the shortage of forest resources.
December 6, the first session of the China International Conference of waste utilization was held in Beijing. It is reported that, under the influence of policy support and higher prices of waste paper recycling capacity of up to more than 4300 tons, equivalent to an annual 130 million cubic meters less felling timber, saving energy resources and protecting the ecological effect is remarkable.
Deputy Director of the Ministry of Commerce Circulation Department Wangxu Bin introduced, with the growing importance of paper recycling, the amount of waste recycled last year in China reached 43.47 million tons, an increase of 17%. A lot of recycling of waste paper to reduce deforestation, to make up for the shortage of forest resources.
According to the China Paper Association, the waste of resources has become the main raw material of the paper industry. Last year, China consumed 90.44 million tons of pulp, including 56.6 million tons of domestic and imported paper pulp. China's annual imports of more than 2,000 tons of waste paper, wood pulp in imports doubled.
Research shows that worldwide paper supply is limited, as China, India and other Asian countries, the growth in demand for paper and increase transportation and labor costs, international paper prices are likely to rise.
According to the National Development and Reform Commission released this year, "the paper industry development," second five "plan", China's paper and paperboard production and consumption volume ranking first in the world. Paper facing the development of resources, energy and environmental constraints become increasingly prominent. The future will expand domestic waste recycling, nurture, "saving paper, moderate consumption, recycling, green carbon" paper consumption.
Industry experts pointed out that compared with some developed countries, China needs to develop, improve waste classification standards to facilitate trade, enhance the value of recovered paper. Currently, the US, Japan and the European Union will be divided into 51 waste categories, 27 categories, 57 categories.
