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

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?

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.
