In the global effort to tackle plastic pollution, Design for Recycling has become a widely recognized key technical approach. The core idea behind this concept is to improve product design so that plastic products can smoothly enter the correct recycling and regeneration streams after consumption, and be regenerated into new raw materials. Internationally, North America, Europe, Australia, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, and South Africa have established guidelines or principles for the Design for Recycling of plastic products based on the characteristics of their respective plastic recycling and regeneration systems. China's exploration began in 2019 when the China Plastics Reuse and Recycling Association (CPRRA) first introduced this concept domestically, releasing a series of related standards and initiating the formulation of severa...

Sorting and baling are the first steps in plastics recycling, and provide a basic guarantee for subsequent recycling enterprises. The State Council has issued the "Action Plan for Promoting Large-Scale Equipment Upgrades and Consumer Product Trade-Ins." A wave of construction and renovation of baling stations and sorting centers has swept across the country. State-owned enterprises, capital markets, and leading companies are all getting involved. According to incomplete statistics, there are about 10,000 plastic baling stations and sorting centers in China. However, they generally face challenges such as small scale, scattered distribution, and outdated sorting methods. Strong policy support, sustained demand growth, and continuous innovation in technology and models are driving the construction of baling stations and sorting centers. Their models are constantly evo...

ChinaReplas T&P 2025 The 3rd Plastic Pollution Prevention and Control Theory and Practice Forum Theme: Philosophy of Plastics — 1 — “Prohibition, restriction, substitution” is systematic A symbol of human behavior modification and civilization transformation 1. "Prohibition" : Emergency brakes on out-of-control industrial civilization Metaphor: The ban on the use of certain plastic products (such as disposable straws and plastic bags) symbolizes humanity's denial of the uncontrolled expansion of production and consumption patterns. Industrial civilization once regarded "convenience" and "economic growth" as its norms, but the rampant plastic pollution has exposed the cost of this model - the collapse of the ecosystem and the threat to human health.  Deeper meaning: Through the ban, society conveys a clear rejection of "unsusta...

ChinaReplas T&P 2025 The 3rd Plastic Pollution Prevention and Control Theory and Practice Forum Theme: Philosophy of Plastics According to the official website of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) , the 12th meeting of the IMO Pollution Prevention and Response Subcommittee (PPR12) was held at the IMO headquarters in London from January 27 to 31, 2025. The focus was on reviewing the preparations for chemical safety and pollution risk assessment and amendments to the IBC Code, revisions to MARPOL Annex II, development of guidelines for underwater cleaning-related matters, reduction of the impact of black carbon emissions from international ships on the Arctic region, EGCS effluent discharge assessment, SCR guidelines revision, IBTS guidelines review and IOPP certificate and Oil Record Book revision, MAR...

March 18-20, Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu, scan the QR code to register More than 300 million tons of plastic waste are generated worldwide each year, of which only 21% is recycled or incinerated, and the rest enters the environment in large quantities, causing chain problems such as microplastic pollution and ecological damage. Traditional physical recycling technology is difficult to handle mixed plastics, while thermochemical conversion technology - especially catalytic cracking - is considered the key to solving plastic pollution because of its strong adaptability and controllable products. However, there are three major problems in the catalytic cracking process: Complex products : Cracking products include solid wax, liquid oil and gas. Although liquid oil is of high value, its composition is complex; Difficulty in catalyst screening : Different plastics require matching spec...
