After drinking milk, pour the packaging box clean, squeezing and throwing it into the recycling box. This is the environmental protection slogan of Tetra Pak, the world's largest flexible packaging company. But at the moment, zealous citizens have discovered that the collected milk packaging boxes do not know where to send them. The Beijing Municipal Committee of Commerce and related companies started setting up Tetra Pak recycling outlets three years ago, but progress has been slow. It is estimated that at present, nearly 5 million tons of paper-plastic packaging boxes are produced in Beijing each year, and less than 10,000 tons can be recycled. Most of them are white garbage.
â— Discard the milk box into the Expo Eco Chair
Milk, fruit juice and many other Tetra Pak packaged drinks are in close contact with the public every day, and the features of long-term preservation at room temperature provide great convenience for people. However, many people do not know that Tetra Pak can be recycled and its use value is very high. The proportion of paper, aluminum foil and plastic in the aseptic composite material of Tetra Pak accounted for 75%, 5% and 20%, respectively, which can be processed into recycled paper, plastics, and color plate products.
In the Shanghai World Expo Park, 1,000 environmental benches are completely made of milk cartons. Each bench costs 856 milk boxes. More than 4,000 unique waste bins in the park are processed by nearly 100,000 milk boxes. Made.
Experts estimate that every 100,000 tons of discarded Tetra Pak can extract 70,000 tons of wood pulp and 5,000 tons of aluminum foil worth over 350 million yuan. In the world, the average recycling rate of Tetra Pak is about 30%, and the recycling rate of Tetra Pak in some EU countries is as high as 70%.
â—Recovery point is hard to find, 20 kg just come to the door
What is the recycling situation of Beijing Tetra Pak? It is understood that the joint open-source company that professionally collected Tetra Pak in 2007 under the support of the Municipal Commercial Commission originally planned to set up a special recycling network in 500 residential communities. It was informed that the recycling of Tetra Pak was no longer carried out, and the related business was transferred to another private company, Jensen.
"Recycling is too small. A community may only have one or two kilograms a day. The size of a city is so large that traffic jams. Drivers run back and pull back even without enough costs." Feeling frustrated, Li Zhixin, the person in charge before the joint open source, lamented: "Even if the public knows, Tetra Pak can be recycled, but it's easier to really develop the environmental protection habit of collecting Tetra Pak!†At present, the recycling price of Beijing Tetra Pak is 8 cents per kilogram, about 100 1 kilograms, and the average family costs a lot. The month may not be enough for 1 kilogram, and naturally it is abandoned.
On the street, there are a number of waste collection points, and none of them are willing to collect music packs. "It's not as good as waste paper. There's a layer of plastic inside. It's not good to deal with. The paper mills don't want to." The recycling stall owners shook their heads again and again. The United Dingsheng Company, which is still insisting on the recovery of Tetra Pak, also stated that there are only a few outlets in Daxing and Haidian, and the key is to contact large customers such as schools and airports, and it is unlikely that this will result in sporadic acquisitions of ordinary households. "If you have more than 20 kilograms on hand, we will go to the door." The staff answered.
â— The city's recycling rate is less than 20%
In fact, the profitability of recycling Tetra Pak looks very attractive. The recycling price of Tetra Pak is 800 yuan per ton, and the transfer to the processing plant can be sold between 1,000 yuan and 1,200 yuan. However, how to digest the transportation and personnel costs in the recycling process is the biggest problem, which directly leads to the recycling of Beijing Tetra Pak. low.
The only city in the city that specializes in the decomposition of Tetra Pak Xin Hongpeng Paper. “Now the processing capacity is 10,000 tons per year, and the Tetra Pak recovered from Beijing will be 5,000 tons. The part of the production line that is not fully used is mainly due to Mengniu, Sanyuan, and Yili in Beijing and surrounding Tetra Pak filling plants. Corner surplus material." Xin Hongpeng director Guo Zhenqi said. He estimates that the total amount of Tetra Pak and other paper-plastic packaging materials produced in Beijing's annual consumption segment will reach 50,000 tons.
The Tetra Pak can also be squashed directly into colored plates and then processed into brightly colored desks, chairs, toys, sporting goods, high-end stationery and more. Beijing also has a color music factory that can eat three or four thousand tons of Tetra Pak every year. Therefore, the actual recycling ratio of paper and plastic packaging such as Tetra Pak produced in the consumption segment in Beijing is only 18%, and most of them are mixed with ordinary household waste and burned or landfilled. The Tetra Pak containing plastics and aluminum foils will produce harmful gases such as Erlenmeyer incineration, and it will be extremely difficult to degrade the landfill.
In order to expand production scale and reduce costs, Xin Hongpeng intends to handle a new 30,000-tonne processing project next year, but raw materials come from nowhere. After trying out waste sorting in Beijing, Xin Hongpeng is trying to cooperate with the sanitation system's waste sorting plant to improve the recycling efficiency of Tetra Pak.
“Now that it is not realistic to set up a dedicated outlet to recycle Tetra Pak, a more effective way is to let garbage sorters and scavengers know the recycling channels of Tetra Pak. For the average consumer, we currently do not encourage them to collect Tetra Pak. Instead of selling the money, they were led to separate the Tetra Pak and household waste, and throw it cleanly in a recyclable trash can, said Mr. Yao, China's environmental protection manager.
Increase the proportion of packaging recovery needs to mobilize the enthusiasm of enterprises
How to increase the recovery rate of milk beverage boxes? Shanghai Guangming Dairy launched a milk box recycling campaign at the end of February this year. Consumers can collect 10 empty milk boxes of any brand and can send them to 460 “bright fresh houses†in the city to buy milk. Products. In just three months, Bright has recovered 1.1 million milk boxes. Dairy giants with a large sales network have natural advantages in recycling Tetra Pak packaging and will not increase excessive costs, which is of great significance to Beijing.
In addition, Tetra Pak has increased the recycling ratio of Tetra Pak to 15% by supporting more than ten specialized recycling factories in China. Last year, it collected a total of 42,000 tons of recycled beverages, which is approximately 4.2 billion boxes. Another milk beverage packaging giant, Weiluo Green, is also launching a milk box creative competition on the campuses of Beijing, Shanghai and other cities in the top ten cities, widely promoting the recyclability of packaging boxes.
The foreign experience has proved that strengthening the responsibility of the manufacturer for the recovery of packaging materials is an effective way to increase the recycling ratio. Germany's "Regulations for the Prevention and Recycling of Packaging Wastes," which came into force in 1991, took the lead in requiring producers to be responsible for the recovery of packaging waste. The regulations clarify that manufacturers, packers, and distributors share responsibility for recycling and recycling, which greatly reduces the government's burden of handling waste.
China's "Circular Economy Promotion Law" has proposed to control the source of production, promote green design and manufacturing, and return resources to production areas through recycling. However, this is only a principled provision, supporting regulations and regulations have not been introduced, and the specific responsibilities, management, and penalties imposed by production companies are not clear.
