Old Clothes Recycling Needs Strong Policy Support.

The recycling of old clothes has always been a common concern. In recent years, Zhengzhou Hongda Group Research and development of the old product recycling site will be held in Zhengzhou, more than 20 responsible people watched the process of the recycling of old things.

Great potential for recycling

According to the data of China Resources Comprehensive Utilization Association, there are about 26 million tons per year in China.

Abandoned as rubbish.

According to Wang Weimin analysis, according to the 50% separation rate, the old clothes discarded have 13 million tons of fiber, exceeding the national cotton output per year.

Taking Henan, a populous province as an example, produces at least 1 million 90 thousand tons of waste textiles per year.

If each ton of old clothes is recycled, it can produce 0.8 tons of fiber, which is equivalent to saving 0.5 tons of cotton and saving 35% of the same fiber.

More importantly, physical sorting does not produce two pollution and reduce environmental pressure.

This shows that the potential of old clothes recycling is huge.

High cost of renewable resources

According to Wang Weimin, the developed countries of the United States, Japan and Europe have long been discarded.

The relevant laws, regulations and strategic objectives have been formulated through recycling and recycling. The government's active support has greatly promoted the recovery and reuse of waste textiles.

However, in China, there are still lack of corresponding policies and laws and regulations. The comprehensive reuse of waste textiles has not really formed industrialization, and most of the waste textiles have not been comprehensively utilized.

The first reason is that the enterprises engaged in the recycling of waste textiles are small and scattered, and there are safety risks in the industry.

Secondly, the production cost of waste textiles becomes renewable resources.

At present, the production cost of recycled fiber is 1.2 times higher than that of raw fiber.

Because

The cost of production is higher than that of raw fiber, so that downstream enterprises are not enthusiastic about the demand for recycled products.

For example, Zhengzhou Hongda Group has invested about 3000000 yuan in the early development of the old clothes and clothes recycling equipment.

Most renewable resources enterprises are struggling.

The fundamental reason for the high cost is not the formation of the industrial chain and industrial scale.

In addition, the popularization of recycled fiber is not enough in China, and public awareness is not high enough.

In Japan and Europe and the United States, most consumers have used renewable resources as a way of life.

Policy support is the key.

In Britain, the guests of new charity shops are not always attracted by low prices. Buying second-hand clothes becomes a new nostalgic and low-carbon way of consumption.

In the United States, their disposal is not limited to old clothes that can be recycled. The old clothes are distributed by non-governmental charities all over the United States.

Zhao, who emigrated to Boston, said: "in order to facilitate donations to the public, almost every community has a collection box for old clothes.

These old clothes were sent to second-hand clothing stores, materials recycling institutions and third world countries after charity organization's recycling, sorting, cleaning and disinfection.

The reutilization of waste textiles in China is slow development and low popularity.

The fundamental problem that restricts the development of our old clothing market is its legitimacy and related subsidy policies.

In order to form the market and scale of waste textiles, government policy support is the key. Standardization and large-scale development of enterprises are the guarantee. Changing consumers' negative support for old clothes is the basis for their positive support, and the three are indispensable.
