Rubber industry should be the rapid development of circular economy to meet the demand gap

As a rubber polymer material has been widely used in various fields of national economy. With the rapid economic growth, sustainable development, the domestic market of rubber resources has been rapid growth in demand. Due to China's rubber resources in very short supply, from the industry, the use of circular economy development of China's rubber industry to meet the demand gap is of great significance.

Domestic demand for rubber resources has grown rapidly, increasing the gap

According to the World Rubber Study Group (IRSG) reported that in 2005 China's rubber consumption of 4,406,000 tons, 8.3 percent increase over the previous year, the world's total consumption of 1 / 5 over. From the 2002 National rubber consumption reached 3,060,000 tons of resources, China has been 4 years in a row as the world's total consumption of resources in the first rubber. Since 1999, China's annual rubber consumption to 10% of the rate increase, by 2005, China's total industrial output value at current prices of rubber 218,930,000,000 yuan. However, China is also a shortage of rubber resources, in 2005, the national resources of the rubber market has a total volume of only 46.7 percent of national consumption, imports from the rest of the meet. With the sustained economic development, China's shortage of rubber resources has been exacerbated by the extent and long-term shortage in the state, especially in natural rubber supply and demand conflicts have become more prominent. According to the China Rubber Industry Association estimated that in 2006 China's natural rubber output in real about 600,000 tons, 900,000 tons for the shortfall. At the same time, China's annual consumption, waste rubber produced with the resources to increase the consumption of rubber products increased at the same pace. Experts have estimated that in 2010 the country's waste rubber output will reach 2,800,000 tons. On the one hand, the rapid growth of demand for rubber resources, and the chronic shortage of resources; on the other hand, waste rubber production increased at the same pace. How to waste Bao, to make up for lack of resources to meet growth in demand is the problem.

Recycling of waste rubber with irreplaceable

At present, and comprehensive utilization of waste rubber recycling have already achieved positive results, China's rubber industry in the implementation of the cycle economy. According to the Rubber Industry Association statistics, the annual use of renewable sources of plastic waste rubber production, rubber powder amounted to 1,300,000 tons, the utilization of waste rubber in about 70%; use of more than 400 enterprises, of which 5,000 tons of production in more than 60 companies have more than , The highest annual output of the enterprises reached 50,000 tons; products are widely used in rubber industry, building materials industry, construction, urban construction and other fields; some products are exported directly or after processing exports; waste rubber resources required for the use of equipment , Environmental protection, such as additives has been developing rapidly.

Increase the recycling of scrap rubber, the development of circular economy, you can have a tremendous social and economic benefits. Rubber products, raw materials - rubber, fiber, carbon black, mostly from oil. China's natural rubber has less resources to use a large number of synthetic rubber, synthetic rubber and more than 70% of the raw materials are petroleum-based materials. According to experts, the production of 1 kg of synthetic rubber need 3 kg of oil. In the United States each passenger tire production to a consumption of 26 liters of oil. Tires also contain 22% -24% of the synthetic fibers such as nylon can be processed into plastic products, 16% -24% of the spring steel wire for high-quality raw materials, 58% -60% of the rubber mixture can produce reclaimed rubber powder. As a result, the waste rubber recycling for the state to save a great deal of resources. Waste rubber is in itself a high-calorie material, the heat and the heat almost coal. Discarded tires heat higher, up to 6668 kcal per kg -8335 kcal, respectively, compared with 69% of the timber high, 40% higher than coke. In the current world energy has become tighter, the recycling of used rubber in the use of geothermal energy on great significance. China's current annual production of reclaimed rubber, rubber powder 1,300,000 tons terms of waste rubber recycling for the creation of the national output value of 3.3 billion, more than 200,000,000 yuan turned over to tax, labor and employment arrangements for more than 20 million people. In addition, a number of saving the country foreign exchange and ease of used rubber to the piling up of resources and environmental protection, ecological balance brought about by the pressure.

China must attach great importance to waste rubber resources in the development of circular economy

First, standardize the management of waste rubber recycling market. The economic cycle rather than economic waste, but recycling of waste in the economic cycle has a decisive position, there is no waste recycling, the recycling economy will not cycle again. Recycling of renewable resources in the economic cycle is the most basic aspect. To waste rubber, for example, reform and opening up, this type of renewable resources are mainly migrant workers from entering the city for recycling, some of them point recovery to set up, and then sold to the use of the acquired businesses to set up outlets, the local formation of a number of transactions Center.

Practice has proved that more than two decades to recover individual-based recycling network, has been adapted to the needs of the use of waste rubber, and the use of corporate recovery and recycling sites, from the rational allocation of economic interests has been adapted to the needs of the socialist market economy . But generally speaking, the existing recycling system is not standardized; recovery to set up the site could not be included in the planning of urban infrastructure, and some recovery site or to receive a business license, registration tax, most of the recovery site or do not Handle; recovery of the site's health, the environment, safety, lax supervision and management; acquisition staff did not recall the basic skills training; waste rubber recycling some of the flow of resources do not meet the requirements of industrial policy, and so on. As a result, individual staff members and their recovery to set up the recovery site, using the outlets to set up enterprises to standardize management, to have basic access, in addition to receiving a business license, registration tax, and other laws and regulations, we must also comply with town planning Demands a certain degree of capital and the beginning of the processing capacity of the recovery site should be consistent with the health, environmental protection, safety requirements, in line with the recovery of the resource flows to the requirements of industrial policy, purchasing personnel training in basic skills such as the norms of waste rubber recycling resources market .

Second, in the field of consumption to promote the use of science and give full play to the best value products. Any products that have a certain life cycle, the use of science will be able to extend product life in order to achieve the best use of resources, reduce waste resources. Resources to waste rubber products, tires, for example, to use science, first of all drivers by increasing the quality of personnel, maintenance of good tires; required for transposition tires, wheels to keep balance and is on the right; to avoid over-accelerate and brake system Action; to improve the road conditions, such as measures to reduce the tread wear, so as to achieve the maximum extend tire life, give full play to the tire performance, reducing the tires produced. Second, the old tires to the "use of the renovation", that is, when the use of tire wear to the limit, it should be refurbished by the limits of tire wear manufacturers in the production of tires when the marked vehicle inspection departments should limit tire wear as a vehicle inspection A content. After several rounds of a tire service life is equivalent to 2-3 after the renovation of the tire, and a renovation of old tires by the consumption of raw materials is only equivalent to the production of a new tire specifications with 15% -30%, the price was only 20% of new tires -50%.

Third, improve the recycling of renewable resources to encourage industry policies and mechanisms. At present, the production of reclaimed rubber, rubber powder business in around 10%, good economic returns of enterprises, such large-scale production of the product or reprocessing, 70% of the flat or low-profit enterprises, 20% of the loss-making enterprises. Business bad situation for many reasons, but the high tax rate, heavy tax burden is an important reason. Experts believe that China's actual situation, through adjustment of taxation in order to support the use of waste rubber is an operation can also reduce the administrative costs of the program better. In addition, to further expand the use of renewable resources, the legal system must have a policy and technical support. China has promulgated a number of renewable resources and related laws and regulations, the Development and Reform Commission is also on the development of comprehensive utilization of resources, recycling of renewable resources and a trade, product recycling management practices. The promulgation of these regulations, China will surely help boost the comprehensive utilization of resources.
