Xu Zhengbin introduced that this year, China Development and Reform News officially launched a series of activities with the theme of "green development" to guide the public to form a good atmosphere of paying attention to energy conservation, emission reduction and green environmental protection. The first phase of the event focused on plastics, and held a collection of works with the theme of "reducing plastic pollution and caring for the earth's homeland" around the three key points of "plastic reduction", waste plastic utilization, and plastic waste cleaning in rivers, lakes and seas.
Xu Zhengbin, Secretary of the Party Committee and President of China Development and Reform News, delivered a speech.
Under the guidance of the Department of Environmental Resources of the National Development and Reform Commission and the Department of Solid Waste and Chemicals of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the 2023 "Plastic Pollution Control" Excellent Practice Cases and Public Welfare Creative Works Collection Activity has received widespread attention from the society since the official launch of World Environment Day on June 5 this year, and after 4 months of collection, a total of 475 works were submitted. 36 outstanding creative works have created a good social atmosphere for the whole people to participate in "plastic pollution control".
Representatives of the co-organizers will issue certificates to the winning representatives on the spot.
Best practice cases are an important force in promoting China's "plastic pollution control".
To promote the standardization of plastic pollution control, how to reduce the use of plastic products at the technical level and develop a circular economy of plastics, while maintaining business operation, convenience of life and economic development, new methods, new models, new practices and new cases are needed. Excellent plastic reduction practice cases are an important force to promote China's "plastic pollution control".
The practice case "Whole Chain Control of Waste Plastic Packaging Pollution: From Packaging Waste to High-performance Recycled Packaging Materials" declared by Kingfa Technology Co., Ltd. won the "2023 'Plastic Pollution Control' Excellent Practice Case Class I Works". According to reports, Kingfa Technology Co., Ltd. provides a sustainable solution for plastic packaging, which is to make waste packaging plastics harmless, refined, and resourceful, through the establishment of plastic packaging waste multi-scene and multi-variety The network system, using the world's leading waste plastic pre-treatment and recycling technology, regenerates plastic packaging waste into high-performance recycled packaging materials, and then provides downstream packaging factories to manufacture new packaging products, and then returns to consumers through the market, thus opening up and integrating upstream and downstream industries and contributing to the closed-loop model of plastic packaging. After the processing of waste plastics, the performance of this solution can reach or be close to that of virgin resin, and the recycling of waste plastics to new products is realized, thereby greatly reducing the production of new plastics. At the same time, the project has promoted the establishment and improvement of the upstream ** network, and built a sustainable circular economy model, which can be replicated globally.
According to reports, a total of 1 first-class work, 3 second-class works, 7 third-class works, and 7 excellence awards have been awarded for the "2023 'Plastic Pollution Control' Excellent Practice Cases".
In Tsinghua Suzhou Environmental Innovation Research Institute, vice president of the excellent practice case review expert group leader He Xin said: "plastic products have become an indispensable part of our lives, in addition to source reduction, reducing plastic pollution needs practical measures, the promotion of new environmentally friendly materials, strengthen the scientific and technological innovation of decomposition technology is a long-term solution to the problem of plastic pollution." With the joint efforts of enterprises, enterprises and individuals, we will continue to promote excellent practice cases featuring new materials and innovative technologies, which can effectively control plastic pollution. ”
The leaders, guests and award-winning representatives took a group photo.
Public welfare creative works play an important role in conveying the concept of plastic reduction and carrying out environmental protection education.
At present, the trend of "green, low-carbon, and sustainable" has swept all walks of life, and special attention has been paid to the field of creative design, and related design innovations and innovative inventions are becoming more and more vibrant. Public welfare creative works have a unique form of expression and appeal, which can arouse people's resonance and thinking, and play an important role in conveying the concept of plastic reduction and carrying out environmental protection education.
"Ecological Innovation Research Waste Sustainable Design" created by Sun Weimin, the developer of Shenzhen Green Ring Renewable Resources, won the "2023 'Plastic Pollution Control' Public Welfare Creative Works Class I Works". Shenzhen Green Ring Renewable Resources Development and the Academy of Fine Arts jointly explore the sustainable status quo and value transformation potential of Chinese manufacturing enterprises by understanding the whole industrial chain of production, sales, use and waste production of Chinese manufacturing enterprises, recognizing waste from an oriental perspective, proposing design innovation strategies, and building an ecological cycle chain that adapts to modern society. Improve the conversion rate of existing materials research courses, promote the integration of research results with the market, and improve the social responsibility of design.
It is understood that a total of 1 first-class work, 5 second-class works, 8 third-class works, and 22 excellence awards have been awarded for the "2023 'Plastic Pollution Control' Public Welfare Creative Works".
