Abstract

Given their exceptional performance, plastic packaging products are widely used in daily life, and the dramatic expansion in plastic packaging waste (PPW) has exacerbated environmental problems. Many countries have enacted laws and developed recycling technologies to manage plastic packaging waste in consideration of the nature of PPW as both garbage and a resource. As the world’s largest producer and consumer of plastics, China has also taken measures to address this issue. This paper presents the latest management regulations and recycling strategies for PPW in China. Based on an analysis of the current management status of PPW and recycling technologies and their carbon emission impacts, some management suggestions and a comprehensive full-chain recycling process were put forward. We supposed that management challenges that need to be overcome in the future can be solved through the improvement of green designs for plastic packaging, manufacturing technology updates, consumption concept changes, and the high-value utilization of PPW. This paper aims to provide valuable references for government decisions on PPW management and, furthermore, to set up an economically sensible and industrially feasible PPW solution and boost the development of PPW recycling.
中国塑料包装废弃物管理现状及回收策略综述
由于塑料包装产品具有优异的性能,在日常生活中得到了广泛的应用,塑料包装废弃物的急剧增加加剧了环境问题。考虑到塑料包装废弃物既是垃圾又是资源,许多国家都制定了法律和开发了回收技术来管理塑料包装废弃物。作为世界上最大的塑料生产国和消费国,中国也在采取措施解决这一问题。本文介绍了中国最新的PPW管理法规和回收策略。在分析PPW和回收技术的管理现状及其对碳排放影响的基础上,提出了管理建议和全面的全链回收流程。我们认为,未来需要克服的管理挑战可以通过塑料包装绿色设计的改进、制造技术的更新、消费观念的转变以及PPW的高价值利用来解决。本文旨在为政府制定PPW管理决策提供有价值的参考,进而建立经济上合理、工业上可行的PPW解决方案,促进PPW回收利用的发展。
