Waste paper recycling issued "SOS"

Shanghai Paper Company is a large state-owned enterprise with a history of nearly 50 years. Today it has encountered new challenges. The company canceled the papermaking pulping point due to environmental reasons, and the cost of the self-made pulp disappeared. The papermaking companies had to use waste paper materials in large quantities.

It is reported that in October 1999, the paper company invested and established a Shanghai Zili Comprehensive Utilization Processing Factory to recycle and use social waste paper. At present, Ziyue's monthly recycling of waste paper is only over 100 tons. This is Shanghai's paper industry that uses 15,000 tons of waste paper every month as its raw material.

Why is the amount of recovered paper in Shanghai far from meeting demand? The CPPCC committee member Min Xiaobao specially conducted research and analyzed two major obstacles to the recycling of waste paper: First, the channels for the recycling of waste paper were not opened, and in particular, the passages of large companies producing professional waste paper were “closed”; Primary transportation vehicles are not allowed to drive on the road, which fundamentally restricts the amount of recovered paper.

According to incomplete statistics from the Municipal Waste Management Office, Shanghai can recover at least 300 tons of waste paper every day, and the actual recycling rate is about 35%. Min Xiaobao has an account in mind: recycling one ton of waste paper is equivalent to saving 600 kWh of electricity, saving 1.2 tons of coal and saving 1,200 cubic meters of water.

The problem of waste paper recycling has aroused the attention of the municipal commercial committee. They are preparing to conduct trials to rebuild waste recycling networks in communities such as Huayang Street, Ganquan New Village, and Gubei New Area. The pilot is mainly divided into four levels: The first level: the city's community as the basic unit, set up more than 2,000 recycling points, the acquisition and disposal of waste materials; the second layer: recycling of waste materials after the recycling of street level Stations for centralization, collection and transportation, and preliminary collation; Level 3: Set up a collection and distribution center, equipped with special equipment for selective sorting, material processing, and processing; Fourth level: Select or build a certain number of professional processing companies to process primary products. Become the ultimate product. After the completion of the four-level recycling network, it plans to recycle 2.4 million tons of waste materials each year, of which more than 700,000 tons of waste paper will be used.
