Ганьсу выпустило уведомление о централизованной утилизации остаточной отходной сельскохозяйственной плёнки

[ppzhan Abstract] The emergence of plastics has provided favorable conditions for the development of the packaging industry, and its advantages of light weight and convenience have made it the second largest packaging material. With the continuous development of environmental awareness, the recycling of plastic waste has become an important factor affecting the healthy development of the industry. In order to promote the smooth progress of recycling work, the General Office of the Gansu Provincial People's Government recently issued the "Notice on Concentrated Treatment of Residual Waste Agricultural Film".

How to make plastic packaging more environmentally friendly has become an urgent problem for the plastics industry to solve. In the view of the PPzhan editor, true environmental protection means environmental protection across the entire life cycle of the packaging material. At present, for the plastics industry, the links with serious pollution mainly lie in recycling.

At present, China is a large producer of agricultural film in the world. Because increasingly scarce land resources and continuously rising food demand make agricultural film more and more favored, yet agricultural film pollution is equally worrying. On November 19, the General Office of the Gansu Provincial People's Government issued the "Notice on Concentrated Treatment of Residual Waste Agricultural Film", imposing strict requirements on agricultural film production enterprises, downstream distributors and farmers regarding the thickness and quality of agricultural film.

On November 26, the sixth meeting of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress heard the explanation of the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee of the Provincial People's Congress on the "Gansu Province Waste Agricultural Film Recycling and Utilization Regulations (Draft)".

In order to prevent and restrict, from the source, ultra-thin plastic film that does not meet national technical standards from entering the agricultural materials market, Article 7 of the "Regulations (Draft)" provides: it is prohibited to produce and sell plastic film for agricultural production with a thickness of less than 0.008 mm and a weather resistance period of less than 12 months; agricultural plastic film with a thickness greater than 0.01 mm and meeting other national quality and technical standards, as well as agricultural greenhouse film with a thickness greater than 0.12 mm, shall be promoted for use. For agricultural plastic film uniformly purchased by the government or produced with other subsidies, the thickness shall not be less than 0.01 mm.

In 2012, China was the largest consumer of agricultural film, accounting for 61% of the market. Increasingly severe food demand together with continuously advancing high-tech agricultural technology are driving the entire industry. The report predicts that China will maintain a compound annual growth rate of 7.6% per year over the next 6 years, becoming the fastest-growing country.
