Tibet's first waste plastic recycling production line put into use

The first waste plastic recycling production line in Tibet was recently put into use in the Lhasa renewable resources distribution market, filling the gap in Tibet's modern renewable resource recovery system. This move will accelerate the pace of “turning waste into treasure” for waste plastics and other wastes in Tibet, reduce waste pollution, and better protect the clear water and blue sky in Tibet.

Dong Guanli, technical director of the project, told the reporter that this production line adopts the national leading technology, abandons the traditional fire alkali cleaning method, and processes the plastic bottle caps into plastic oil pots through harmless treatment such as air sending, crushing, hot washing, and air drying. Products, to achieve secondary use of resources, the entire process basically achieve zero emissions, zero pollution.

Li Zhiqing, president of the Tibet Autonomous Region's Recycling Resource Recycling Association, said that with the rapid economic development and increasing urban population, Lhasa’s recycling of waste plastic bottles, cans and other renewable resources has also seen “blowout” growth, which has seriously affected Lhasa’s international tourism city image. .

According to estimates from the Tibet Autonomous Region's Recycling Resource Recycling Association, the total amount of renewable resources generated annually in Tibet is about 350,000 tons, but the total amount recovered is only about 200,000 tons.

"After the production line is put into use, it will ease the shortage of recycling capacity for used recycled plastics and other renewable resources in Tibet and help Tibet build a national ecological security barrier," said Li Zhiqing.

It is reported that the capacity of the production line to dispose of used plastics is between 150 tons and 200 tons, which can digest 80% of Lhasa's waste plastics.

"We have provided more than 20 million yuan in financial support, and will further provide financial support to promote the construction of a recycling market for Lhasa's renewable resources," said the person in charge of the Tibet Branch of the China Development Bank.

At present, the metal trading area, plastic trading area and paper trading area of ​​the Lhasa renewable resources distribution and distribution market have been put into use, and the automobile dismantling area has entered the construction phase. In the future, the Lhasa renewable resources distribution market will expand its production capacity and create a renewable resources industrial park.
