Xiaoshan: Abandoned plastic bottles become popular

The plastic bottle that you have thrown away is actually "gold". Xiaoshan's four companies can “turn waste into treasures”. They have purchased waste plastic bottles at home and abroad, processed them into fibers and then exported them. They consume 1 billion plastic bottles a year, and their annual output value exceeds 500 million yuan.

Discarded plastic bottles become popular

Beijing Olympic Village To increase people's awareness of environmental protection, special T-shirts that are distributed to members of the delegation free of charge are made from five 500-ml plastic Coke bottles, supplemented with some cotton fibers.

Waste plastic bottles are so gorgeous "transformed" - a variety of waste plastic bottles are first crushed into plastic chips, after washing, drying, melting, filtration and other more than 20 procedures after the heat drawing, spit out from the machine If the white silk of silk is cut off, curled, etc.

Become "recycled polyester staple fiber."

This product is currently used in a large number of production of quilts, sofas, mattresses and other home textile products filling, can also be used to make carpets, imitation feather and other products, is the market's hot commodity.
"In fact, there is gold inside the garbage!" Chen Baofang, general manager of Hangzhou Huachuang Industry Co., Ltd. smiled and gave the reporter an account: A plastic bottle sold to garbage collectors was 0.1 yuan, and the garbage collectors sold the waste products. The recycling station and the recycling station were sold to Huachuang at a price of about 8,200 yuan/ton. After Huachuang processed the plastic bottles into polyester staple fiber, the price reached 15,000 yuan/ton.

Recycling old plastic bottles in 28 countries

According to reports, a ton of plastic bottles has about 230,000 waste bottles, which can produce the same amount of short fibers with a loss rate of only 2%. At present, the international oil price fluctuated at a high level, and the price per ton of downstream plastics increased by 1,000 yuan. The price of used plastic bottles is very stable.

The continued appreciation of the renminbi, the reduction of export tax rebates and the increase in labor costs have had little impact on these four companies. Chen Baofang frankly stated: “The profits of this line are still relatively large.” Huachuang has two production lines with an annual output of 45,000 tons of polyester staple fiber and currently produces 30,000 tons of polyester staple fiber annually. Every year, 2-2.5 million tons of waste plastics are imported from abroad and 6-8 million tons of polyester staple fiber are exported after processing.

In order to receive as much "garbage" as possible, Hangzhou Jiani Textile Co., Ltd. established waste collection points in 10 provinces including Guangdong, Jiangxi and Anhui. This is not enough. Jiani looked at the world again. In June 2005, she invested 3.5 million yuan to start an acquisition company in Russia. At present, the acquisition points or companies have been set up in 28 countries in Russia, Argentina, and other countries, buying plastic bottles to sell fiber and doubling the economic value.

Developed more than 20 fiber products in waste plastic bottles

Xiaoshan’s four companies “eat” more than 1 billion old beverage bottles a year, which not only solves the “white pollution” of used beverage bottles, but also earns considerable economic benefits.

The company has also increased its R&D efforts and made "full-text articles" for waste plastic bottles.

Huachuang currently has developed more than 20 different types of polyester staple fibers. Their self-developed “ultra-fine denier” products, which are less than one-tenth the diameter of a single hair, are soft, smooth, and can be processed into resistance. Fibre is known in the industry as "said down".

Jia Ni Company has a 300-meter-long, domestically-advanced, large-scale recycled fiber polyester staple fiber production line with an annual production capacity of 15,000 tons. According to Sun Linquan, general manager of “Jia Ni”, in addition to being processed into fiber, the company also cooperated with a university in Tianjin to develop a patented plastic glass project, which is sturdy enough to “can bulletproof”. At present, new projects are already in the stage of land acquisition.
