Interpretation: Government Work Report, Requirements for the Utilization of Recycled Materials and Resources

2025 Year 3 moon 5 On the morning of the day 9 At that time, the third session of the 14th National People's Congress held an opening meeting in the Great Hall of the People. Premier Li Qiang, on behalf of the State Council, delivered a government work report to the Third Session of the 14th National People's Congress.

Premier Li Qiang said 2025 In the year, we must coordinately promote carbon reduction, pollution reduction and green growth, and accelerate the all-round green transformation of economic and social development. Further deepen the reform of the ecological civilization system, coordinate industrial structure adjustment, pollution control, ecological protection, and climate change response, and promote ecological priority, conservation and intensive, green and low-carbon development.

Accelerate the development of a green and low-carbon economy

Improve the policy and standard system to support green and low-carbon development and create a healthy development ecosystem for green and low-carbon industries. Deeply implement green and low-carbon advanced technology demonstration projects and cultivate new growth points such as green buildings. Improve the total resource management and all-round conservation system, strengthen the energy-saving and water-saving management of key energy-consuming and water-consuming units, and effectively control high-energy-consuming projects. Strengthen waste recycling and vigorously promote the use of recycled materials. Improve the green consumption incentive mechanism and promote the formation of green and low-carbon production and lifestyles.

Industry Solution

2025 The government work report of the year “ Coordinately promote carbon reduction, pollution reduction and green growth ” As the main line, the core goals of accelerating the transformation of green and low-carbon and deepening the development of circular economy are clearly put forward. Waste plastic recycling industry as a link “ Pollution control ” and “ Resource regeneration ” The key hub of the policy framework .

2.1 Industry attributes: green and low-carbon transformation “ Double-sided carrier ”

Waste plastic recycling industry has both “ Reduce carbon and pollution ” and “ Resource regeneration ” Dual attributes, with government work report “ Ecological priority, conservation and intensive ” The requirements are highly consistent:

• Pollution control tips : The excessive landfill and incineration of waste plastics produced in my country every year leads to microplastic pollution and carbon emissions. Efficient recycling is the urgent need to control plastic pollution.
• Resource Regeneration Core : Waste plastic as “ Urban Minerals ” , through physics / Chemical regeneration can replace native petroleum-based plastics, which can reduce per ton of recycled plastics 1.5 Ton of carbon emissions directly support “ Total resource management ” Target.
• Green industry integration point : Report submitted “ Cultivate new growth points such as green buildings ” The expansion of application scenarios of recycled plastics in the fields of building materials, automobiles, packaging and other fields will promote synergistic carbon reduction across industries.

2.2 Policy and Standard System “ On the road ” , accelerate industry standardization

Government Work Report emphasizes “ Improve the policy and standard system to support green and low-carbon development ” , the waste plastics industry will usher in a systematic system upgrade:

2.2.1 Deepen policy support :

• Financial tools : Ultra-long-term special government bonds (such as 3000 The special project of 100 million yuan in consumer goods traded in the past) indirectly promotes the development of the resource recycling industry and tilts towards the research and development of waste plastic recycling facilities and chemical recycling technology.
• Market mechanism : “ Reverse invoice ” Tax policies standardize the recycling of input deductions for enterprises, crack down on illegal small workshops, and promote the intensive development of the industry.

2.3 Recycled materials use: “ Encouragement nature ” arrive “ Policy mandatory ”

Government work report “ Vigorously promote the use of recycled materials ” , This requirement directly hits the pain points of the current utilization of recycled resources —— If you rely solely on spontaneous market choices or policy encouragement, it is difficult to break through cost disadvantages and the inertia of traditional industrial chains.

This is true for the recycled plastics industry, and so are the recycled metals, recycled fibers, recycled glass and other industries.

Need to be built “ Policies mandatory traction Market value activation Cross-industry collaboration ” Three-dimensional promotion mechanism to promote recycled materials from “ Optional ” Upgraded to “ Must-have options ” .

when Recycled materials are no longer “ Alternatives ” , but strategic resources to reshape the competitiveness of the industry. , Enterprises need to plan recycled materials certification systems, closed-loop recycling networks and low-carbon production processes in advance, “ The era of compulsory ” Build a moat before arrival.

2.4 Renewable resource management: efficiency improvement and collaborative innovation in the whole chain

For reports “ Strengthen waste recycling ” The waste plastics industry needs to be connected “ Recycle — Selection — regeneration — application ” Bottle points in the whole chain: Front-end classification and recycling network : Promote the integration of the domestic waste recycling system and the recycling of recycled resources, pilot the paid recycling of low-value plastics (such as takeaway lunch boxes), and the coverage rate target is from 30% Upgrade to 50% .

High-value regeneration in the backend : Physical recycling (original recycling) It is still the core method of high-purity waste plastic treatment, especially in PET bottle, HDPE In single material fields such as containers, cleaning, melting and repelling can quickly generate regenerated particles with equivalent performance to raw materials, with low energy consumption (reduced compared to chemical recycling. 40% ) , the characteristic of significant cost advantages, currently accounts for the world's waste plastic recycling volume 85% above.

However, in the face of mixed and polluted low-value waste plastics (such as agricultural films, composite packaging), Chemical recycling technology Become the key to breaking the deadlock: through pyrolytic oil purification, catalytic cracking and other monomer production processes, waste plastics are decomposed into chemical raw materials such as ethylene and propylene, and achieve “ Molecular-level cycle ” .
