Today, recycled plastics are active in various industrial fields and have become a key force driving sustainable development. Their application scope is broad, covering multiple critical industries such as packaging, construction, and automobiles, and in each field, they demonstrate unique advantages and enormous development potential.

In the development process of the recycled plastics industry, the role of policies is undoubtedly the most powerful driving force, safeguarding the vigorous development of the industry.

At a time when global environmental awareness is constantly awakening and the "dual carbon" goals are prominently in place, the recycled plastics industry, as a crucial link in the development of the green economy, is standing at the forefront of the era's transformation. In recent years, with the widespread application of plastics in various fields, the amount of waste plastics has been increasing day by day, imposing a heavy burden on the environment. Therefore, the development of recycled plastics is extremely urgent.

Currently, the global rubber and plastics industry is undergoing in-depth transformation. The energy transition, green transformation driven by the "dual carbon" goals, and the integration of intelligent manufacturing and digitalization are jointly propelling the industry towards high value-added and sustainable development. Recently, the *Report on the The Top 10 Technology Trends in Plastics and Rubber in 2025* was released. Through an analysis of 118 innovative cases from 92 enterprises across 13 countries worldwide, it outlines a clear trajectory of technological innovation in the industry, providing important guidance for industrial development.

In July 2025, the Comprehensive Operation Index of China's Recycled Plastics Enterprises stood at 49%, down by 1 percentage point compared with June.

China's Recycled Plastic Pellets Price Index stood at 684.7 points in July 2025, down 9.7% year-on-year and 0.8% month-on-month.

In summer, with extreme heat, frequent rainfall, and intense ultraviolet radiation, storing PE (polyethylene) pipes poses no small challenge. As a commonly used plastic pipe, PE pipes boast good corrosion resistance, flexibility, and a long service life. However, improper storage can significantly compromise their performance and quality under the impact of summer's harsh environment, even affecting their subsequent use in projects. Therefore, mastering scientific and reasonable summer storage methods for PE pipes is of vital importance to ensuring the quality of the pipes and engineering safety.

The second working meeting for the formulation and revision of the national standard *Requirements for Production and Sales Management System of Recycled Plastics* was presided over by Wang Yonggang, Secretary-General of the Recycled Plastics Branch of China Material Recycling Association. The meeting brought together industry experts, enterprise representatives and relevant policymakers from across the country to jointly discuss the draft of this national standard.

As an engineering plastic with excellent performance, polycarbonate plays a crucial role in numerous fields such as electronics and electrical appliances, automotive industry, construction, and medical care, relying on its outstanding properties in optics, mechanics, thermology, and chemistry. Although the current industry shows a certain pattern and trend in terms of production capacity and trade, with the continuous progress of science and technology and the continuous evolution of market demand, polycarbonate will continue to develop toward high performance, green manufacturing, circular economy, and expansion of cross-border applications. In the future, polycarbonate is expected to achieve breakthroughs in more fields and make greater contributions to the progress and development of human society.
