March 20, 2025 · Suzhou Zhangjiagang Scan the QR code on the poster to sign up Plastic flexible packaging is ubiquitous in our daily lives, from food preservation to express delivery. However, with the increasing severity of plastic pollution, the recycling of plastic flexible packaging has become a focus of social attention. Low recycling rate: In 2022, the scrap volume of plastic flexible packaging in China will be about 15 million tons, but the recycling rate is only 8.7. This is mainly because the materials of plastic flexible packaging are complex and diverse, mostly composite materials, which are difficult to separate and recycle. Difficulty in recycling: The thinness and easy contamination of plastic flexible packaging increase the difficulty of recycling. In addition, China's current plastic flexible packaging recycling system is still imperfect, lacking an...

ChinaReplas T&P 2025 The 3rd Plastic Pollution Prevention and Control Theory and Practice Forum Theme: Philosophy of Plastics Plastic pollution is not only an environmental problem, but also an economic problem . The root cause is that the market mechanism fails to fully reflect the full life cycle cost of plastics. Structural defects in key links such as market pricing, responsibility attribution and recycling systems have led to challenges in plastic pollution control. To solve this problem, it is necessary to carry out systematic reforms from an economic perspective and promote the transformation of the plastics industry to a circular economy through policy tools, market incentives and technological innovation. — 1 — Pricing failure: external costs are not internalized One of the core economic problems of plastic pollution is pricing failure ,...

Theme of Polyolefin (PE/PP) Rigid Packaging Circular Forum: The essence of scale is efficiency Date: March 20, 2025 Location: Zhangjiagang, Suzhou According to a report by the United Nations Environment Programme: disposable plastics made from packaging account for the largest share of plastic waste in the world. 36% of all plastics produced by humans are used for packaging. According to statistics from Wood Mackenzie: In 2020, China used about 45 million tons of plastics for packaging production, nearly 40% of which were used to make rigid plastic packaging, among which polyolefin rigid packaging (PP/PE) grew rapidly. China's polyolefin (PP/PE) rigid packaging (bottles, pots, barrels, etc.) has formed a complete recycling flow due to its application scenarios (fast food boxes, milk jugs, seasoning pots, daily chemical bottles, etc.) and recycling metho...

Recycling plastics is an effective way to resolve the plastic environmental pollution crisis. High-quality recycling can retain the properties of plastics to the greatest extent possible. Through advanced technology, innovative processes and scientific management, waste plastics can be converted into recycled materials with high added value and in line with strict quality standards, thus achieving a gorgeous transformation of plastics from "waste" to "rebirth". — 1 — The Golden Apple Award: Recognition of excellence for high-quality regeneration The "Golden Apple Award" for high-quality recycling is a high recognition for companies and projects that have made outstanding achievements in the field of high-quality recycling. It will encourage more companies and scientific research institutions to invest in the exploration and practice of high-quality recycling...

ChinaReplas T&P 2025 The 3rd Plastic Pollution Prevention and Control Theory and Practice Forum The 3rd Plastic Pollution Governance: Theory and Practice Summit Theme: Philosophy of Plastics The Philosophical on Plastics — 1 — The Evolution of Plastics’ Historical Role 1950s-1970s: The darling of the industrial revolution Since the mass production of plastics in the 1950s, with its advantages of lightness, durability and low cost, it has quickly penetrated into core areas such as packaging, construction, and medical care, becoming a symbol of modern industrial civilization. By 2019, the annual global production of plastics has reached 460 million tons, a 230-fold increase from 70 years ago. During this period, plastics were regarded as the "king of convenience" and promoted the globalization of consumerism. 1980s-2010s: The tr...

March 18-20, 2025 · Zhangjiagang In February 2025, the opening of a factory in northeast England attracted the attention of the global environmental protection community. This world's first commercial supercritical water plastic recycling plant, built by London startup Mura Technology , claims to be able to convert "non-recyclable" mixed plastic waste into recycled plastic raw materials, and is expected to subvert the limitations of traditional mechanical recycling and pyrolysis technologies. "Nature" magazine analyzed this technology in the form of a cover story, calling it "a new answer to the plastic pollution crisis." Editor's note According to OECD forecasts, global plastic waste will exceed 1 billion tons per year in 2060, while the current recycling rate is less than 10%. Mura's global expansion plan (building factories in 6 countries including Germany, th...
