The production cost of virgin PET is relatively low, while the cost of recycled PET is relatively high due to recycling, cleaning, processing and other links. In order to pursue higher profits, some unscrupulous merchants may use virgin PET to impersonate recycled PET. A few days ago, the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System announced that Suzhou Jiahai Special Fiber Co., Ltd. (fined 1.8 million) and Suzhou Jingpei New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. (fined 1.5 million) used virgin chemical fiber to impersonate recycled chemical fiber and then sold it after labeling. Virgin impersonated recycled, with sales exceeding 10 million! National standards urgently need to be implemented . Impersonating recycled with virgin is not an isolated case. At the beginning of this year, Suzhou Yu Nianshui Fiber Technology Co., Ltd. was fined ...

Editor's Note The United States, in the name of "adjusting the tariffs of trading partners", is actually practicing "indiscriminate trade bullying". Its unilateral tariff increase policy has evolved into a disorderly impact on the global industrial chain - many countries have chosen to compromise under pressure, trying to make concessions in short-term interests in exchange for easing trade disputes, and falling into a vicious cycle of "using land to serve Qin". Only China has not given up on principled issues, and with its firm stance of "counter-equal and bottom-line thinking", it has declared to the world that sovereignty and dignity cannot be traded. This is not only a positive response to bullying, but also a benchmark practice for emerging economies to maintain multilateral order in the context of globalization.   At 12:01 Beijing time on April 9, the so-called "r...
