As a product of petroleum, the output of plastics has increased 20 times since the 1960s in the 1960s. It is still exponentially rising. It is expected to reach 3 times of current production by 2050. In China, the European Union and the United States. Dr. Jiang Nanqing from the UNEP China Office pointed out that the global plastic production will be nearly 8 million tons per year, most of which will be burned or landfilled and discharged into the ocean. Only 14% of the plastic packaging and materials can be recovered. The economic value of the loss. Very large, about $80 billion. The entire life cycle of plastics did not establish a good chain.

Du Huanzheng, president of the Plastics Cycle Branch of the China Synthetic Resin Association, said that in the past 100 years since the birth of plastics, humans have produced 8 billion tons of plastics, some of which have accumulated in the course of social life; the other has become garbage, and the garbage entering the landfill cannot be degraded for many years. Waste entering the incineration plant may generate waste gas. "I used to say that the aggressors invaded China and caused the country to break through the mountains and rivers. Now I am afraid that it should be said that the country is broken in the mountains and rivers. The industry has developed, people are rich, but there is no clean water, fresh air and safe food. Everything is It is empty talk." Du Huanzheng believes that although the improper treatment of waste plastics will cause harm to the environment, the waste plastics recycling industry is actually turning the used waste resources into renewable resources and prolonging the time for serving humans. Objectively speaking, It also protects the environment.
