Paper industry experts Gu Minda told reporters that China's paper raw materials, waste paper accounted for a large proportion of the country, if you rely on imports, China has to spend a lot of foreign exchange to buy imported waste paper. At the same time, China's annual production of about 14 million tons of waste paper, recycling rate is very low. Comparison of the gap can be seen: Japan's waste paper recovery rate of 78% or more; Germany's annual recovery of waste paper 4 million tons, accounting for 83% of the total amount of waste paper; Finnish cities in the old newspapers, magazines, recycling rate of almost 100%; and China's waste paper recovery rate of only 30%.
China's paper industry, the "15th" plan puts forward the requirements of the proportion of waste paper utilization from 41% in 2000 to 48% in 2010, to reach 55% in 2015, of which, the proportion of domestic waste paper utilization reached 43%. At present, the development of waste paper recycling in China is not balanced, with coastal areas developing faster. In 2001, the national waste paper pulp consumption accounted for 44% of the total paper pulp, deducting imported waste paper, domestic waste paper recovery rate of less than 30%. Waste paper utilization rate in recent years is mainly dependent on the import of waste paper to solve the problem, should attract the attention of the parties concerned, the need to increase measures to improve the domestic waste paper recovery rate. Why is China's waste paper recovery rate is low? A paper company's boss had told reporters such a thing: the company's door-to-door collection of waste paper tracking, found that most of them will be sent to the waste paper first somewhere mixed with sand and water spray. Paper mills want to use this kind of waste paper, you have to first collect the waste paper to dry, and then shake the sand. Instead of doing so, it is better to import directly from abroad. From this situation can be seen, China's legal norms and policy support for waste paper recycling is not specific enough, not enough in place. Waste paper recycling to do more mature countries, most of them have a set of the interests of all aspects of thoughtful, operational, quantitative and strict details of the recovery of the legal system. The relevant departments of the paper-making enterprises, mandatory requirements must use a certain amount of waste paper as raw materials for production; recycling enterprises, the provisions of the government must give a certain amount of subsidies to ensure that they operate normally, can obtain reasonable economic benefits; to consumers, the administrative law enforcement agencies will be at any time random checks, for the failure to follow the requirements of the classification of waste paper sent to the designated recycling office, to impose a fine. In comparison, our country does not pay enough attention to the recycling of resources. Imagine, to the waste paper mixed with sand and water spraying to earn some illegal money are people do, if there is a suitable policy subsidies, serious recovery, sorting of waste paper will certainly be people scrambling to do a good job.
People in the discussion of environmental protection and resource recycling, always like to emphasize the existence of Chinese and foreign nationals on the concept of the gap, but in fact, the law set the rules, the rules of habit, habit into nature, natural concept, which is a process. To the recycling of a specific link to a reasonable norms, including the use of waste paper, including the "circular economy" can really grow up.
China's waste paper treatment is beginning to show results
Gu Minda said, China's utilization of waste paper and processing, in the 1970s through simple cooking, thinning, pulping, washing and then used to copy or copy toilet paper and low-grade cardboard. By the 1980s, the recovery rate of waste paper had reached about 25%, and a few manufacturers were able to produce deinked pulp. After entering the 1990s, some large and medium-sized paper enterprises successively introduced deinking equipment and technology from abroad, including production lines, and made targeted improvements and innovations in waste paper deinking agent and waste paper deinking equipment, so that China's utilization of waste paper treatment technology and equipment assembly level can be comprehensively developed. Some of the larger cardboard production enterprises to use imported waste paper and the introduction of deinking equipment and technology to produce high-grade products. Enterprises represented by Guangzhou Paper Co., Ltd, China Paper Co., Ltd and Fujian South Paper Co., Ltd. have respectively introduced deinking production lines or main equipment from abroad, and utilized the comprehensive method of flotation-washing to deal with old newspapers and old magazine paper. Guangzhou Paper Mill and Fujian South Paper Co., Ltd. use recycled pulp to copy newsprint. Some domestic research units and production units have researched and developed the deinking technology and equipment, and after utilizing the existing conditions of the enterprise to carry out innovation, the production of small quantities of waste paper recycled pulp has been successful. Manufacturers in Xuchang, Jiaozuo, Suixian, Xinxiang and other places in Henan Province have utilized imported AOCC and other waste paper to copy high-strength corrugated paper and boxboard with remarkable results. Domestic equipment manufacturers and chemical production, research units, through cooperation in research, equipment performance, chemical quality has also achieved good results. Liaoyang Paper Machinery Factory and Fujian Light Industry Machinery Factory research waste paper processing equipment has formed a supporting system, successfully put into production. Shandong, some paper machinery factory also produced different types of deinking equipment, manufacturers have been purchased and used. There are Fujian Paper Research Institute, Hangzhou Chemical Research Institute, Tianjin University of Science and Technology and other units of research and development of various types of deinking agent has also been recognized by users. Rational use of waste paper resources
Gu Minda said, at present, China's imports of waste paper has accounted for the world's total exports of 1 / 3 of the total amount of U.S. waste paper exports of more than 50% of the total amount of sales to China. In the next few years, China's demand for waste paper is still very large, but the resources of waste paper is also limited to improve the recovery rate of domestic waste paper and the rational use of waste paper resources, is the current focus should be concerned about and solve the problem. First of all, the purchase of waste paper raw materials should be strictly controlled. Especially imported waste paper, in the current situation of more supply channels, it is more important to act with caution. Enterprises must be operating waste paper suppliers to carry out a comprehensive investigation, to understand the source of supply, economic strength, degree of credibility, etc., so as not to be deceived. Secondly, enterprises with strong financial and technical strength, in the purchase of foreign old corrugated cardboard boxes, old magazine paper and old newsprint at the same time, but also the introduction of foreign countries, including the existing production line, including deinking technology and equipment, the production of high-quality recycled pulp, up-grade products. For the existing grass pulp alkali recovery enterprises can also use imported waste paper recycled pulp to add grass pulp, commercial wood pulp, proportionally copied high-grade cultural paper.
Third, enterprises in the purchase of waste paper, should be combined with their own equipment, technical strength, production varieties, such as categorized use. Imported corrugated cardboard, AOCC paper can be used to produce high-grade boxboard, high grade corrugated paper and paper bag paper, or as the production of white paperboard core pulp and bottom pulp material; the use of waste newspapers with about 30% of the old magazine paper, after flotation - washing comprehensive deinking, the production of newsprint or as the white paperboard core pulp and bottom liner pulp; the use of imported office waste paper, such as The use of imported office waste paper, such as copy paper, computer printing paper, etc., choose a new deinking method, in the improvement of the paper machine or the introduction of the production line, the production of high-grade cultural printing paper. Purchased domestic waste paper can produce low-grade boxboard and toilet paper. At the same time, in the use of waste paper recycled paper, attention should be paid to the use of chemical additives to make up for the lack of physical strength and other indicators of paper products. The industry predicts that by 2005, Shandong Province, paper and cardboard production can reach 5.5 million tons, when the amount of waste paper will reach 2.4 million tons (including domestic waste paper), waste paper utilization rate of 44%, it is likely to become China's third largest province of waste paper.
In order to change the unreasonable raw material structure of Shandong paper and reduce the need for pollution, in recent years, Huatai, the sun, Huazhong and other paper enterprises were introduced 500 tons / day, 100 tons / day and 50 tons / day of waste paper deinking equipment *** 6 sets, Chenming, Huatai, the sun, Haiwang, Bohui and other 10 paper enterprises *** the introduction of foreign OCC waste paper The introduction of 12 sets of foreign OCC waste paper processing equipment in 10 paper enterprises*** such as Chenming, Sun, Haiwang, Bohui, etc., including different processing capacity of 400 tons, 350 tons, 250 tons and 100 tons of OCC per day. At present, the utilization rate of waste paper in Shandong Province is only a little more than 30%.
Shandong Province is China's largest paper-making province, the utilization rate of waste paper is not high, indicating that China's waste paper to improve the utilization rate there is still a lot of potential to dig. As long as we strengthen the recovery of domestic waste paper, so that the recovery rate of 40% or more; at the same time, the rational use of waste paper resources, to solve the problem of shortage of raw materials for papermaking in China is very promising.
