Recycled plastics

        What is recycled plastic? Recycled plastic refers to the plastic raw materials obtained after processing waste plastics through physical or chemical methods such as pretreatment, melt granulation, and modification. It is the reuse of plastics.

        Advantages of recycled plastics

         ◆Environmental advantages

         The slogan of saving resources has gradually penetrated into people's hearts, so the awakening of recycled materials is inevitable. In this way, people can truly achieve environmental protection and energy saving through the recycling of resources. Recycled plastics have great environmental advantages compared to traditional plastics.

        ◆Under the waste ban, it fills the domestic gap

        In order to block the further transfer of pollution generated by primary processing to the country, the country prohibits the import of 24 types of solid waste such as waste plastics from daily sources, unsorted waste paper, textile waste, vanadium slag, etc. The policy will be officially implemented at the end of 2017. The gap left by the recycled raw materials of imported waste plastics will be replaced by other plastic materials. As a market eager for profit, if new plastics are completely replaced, it will bring excessive cost problems to enterprises, so recycled plastics are a very good choice. In addition, recycled plastics are not within the scope of prohibition.

        ◆Policies promote recycled plastics

        The "Industrial Green Development Plan (2016-2020)" requires that by 2020, the domestic waste plastic recycling volume should reach 23 million tons. We must accelerate the promotion of efficient utilization of renewable resources and standardized development of the industry. Focusing on major renewable resources such as waste plastics, we will accelerate the promotion and application of advanced and applicable recycling technologies and equipment. Build a number of renewable resource industry clusters, promote cross-regional coordinated utilization of renewable resources, build a regional renewable resource recycling system, and promote the gradual standardization of industry order.

        ◆Recycled plastics are strong in themselves

         The biggest advantage of recycled materials is that they are definitely cheaper than new materials. They can also be processed according to different needs to produce corresponding products, which will not cause a large loss of resources. Coupled with the development and progress of technology, recycled plastics now have certain elasticity, high strength, wear resistance and good insulation performance.

        How to distinguish the quality of recycled plastics

         ◆Transparency

         Transparency is an important indicator for measuring the quality grade of medium and high-end recycled material particles. Materials with transparency are of good quality;

          ◆Surface finish

        The surface of high-quality recycled materials is smooth and lubricated;

        ◆Color

        The uniformity and consistency of color are important indicators for measuring the quality grade of colored recycled material particles (white, milky white, yellow, blue, black, etc.);

        ◆Smell

        Light it with a lighter, blow it out after 3 seconds, smell its smoke, and distinguish the difference between it and new material;

        ◆Wiredrawing

          After the recycled material is ignited and extinguished, quickly contact the melt with an iron object, and then quickly pull it apart to see if the wire is formed evenly. If it is even, it is good material. After pulling it several times, overlap the wires and pull it apart again to see if it has elasticity and whether it can be pulled apart again without breaking. The material that is not broken or breaks after being pulled apart for a distance is good material;

        ◆Melt

        If black smoke appears quickly or the melt drips quickly during the combustion process, it is not a good material;

        ◆Density of particles

        Poor plasticization of the recycling process will cause loose particles;

         ◆Bite with teeth

        First experience the strength of the new material yourself, and then compare it. If it is relatively soft, it is mixed with impurities;

         ◆Look at the cross section of the cut

         The cross section is rough and dull, the material quality is poor;

         ◆Float

         It must be able to sink in water, that is, it is poor;

        Uses of recycled plastics

        ◆Build roads. Compared with conventional pure asphalt paved roads, this type of polymer-modified asphalt has better road performance and is more durable.

        ◆Food packaging containers

        ◆Wood-plastic type materials

        ◆Military parade red carpet

        ◆Sunglasses, computers and printers and other products

         ◆Used to manufacture machine parts and components

         ◆Used to make water pipes, agricultural machinery, packaging bags, cement bags;

         ◆Can replace some wood products

        ◆Can be used to manufacture various plastic bags, buckets, basins, toys and other plastic products

        ◆Daily necessities, etc.
