In August 2024, the price index of recycled plastic particles in China was 768.6 points, up 1% year-on-year and down 0.9% month-on-month

On September 4, the Pacific Environmental Resources Center, an environmental protection organization, released the report "Unlocking the New Green nature of milk tea: Research on the plastic Reduction path of China's milk tea Industry", which put forward suggestions for the plastic reduction path of the industry in the next five years in view of the plastic waste growth challenges behind the expansion of new tea drinks.

In the context of increasing environmental awareness, the plastic products industry is gradually paying attention to sustainable development, and constantly introducing new processes, new materials and new products to meet the needs of consumers. Digital transformation is also helping industries improve productivity and reduce costs, contributing to the smooth running of the economy.

There are also many difficulties in the large-scale use of degradable plastic packaging, in order to solve these difficulties, improvement methods include the development of non-compost degradable plastics. If you do not use compost, it can be degraded in the natural environment, such as natural degradation in the fields, rivers, and oceans, which will greatly promote the development of degradable plastics.

With the theme of synthetic resin new materials and plastic new equipment, this exhibition aims to gather the cutting-edge technologies of professionals and enterprises and institutions in the industry at home and abroad, concentrate on displaying new materials, new equipment and new technologies of synthetic resin, explore the development of new materials industry, promote the downstream application of new materials, and actively promote the brand building of enterprises in the chemical new materials industry. Increase the promotion of resin new material products, and further enhance the social awareness of high-quality products and brands.

Among many packaging materials, plastic packaging accounts for the highest proportion. It is worth noting that abandoned plastic packaging will weather and decompose into fine particles, which may eventually enter the human body through various forms. But plastic packaging is essential for goods, in the case that it can not be replaced, how to eliminate its harm?

The 2024 Chinaplas Rubber & Plastics Exhibition was held from April 23 to April 26, 2024 at the National Convention and Exhibition Center in Shanghai Hongqiao.

According to the statistics from 1949 to 2018, the recycling and reuse rate of waste plastics in China is only 30%, about half of the waste plastics are incinerated or buried with domestic waste, and the remaining 20% or so enter the natural environment without any treatment. It can be seen that the treatment status of waste plastics in China is very serious and needs to be improved.

Global use of plastics has been on a steady rise over the past 60 years, and plastic production has soared from 2 million tons in 1950 to 348 million tons in 2017
