core tip: Hong Kong's waste paper recycling industry announced an early "closure" before the lunar new year, in response to the completion of the mainland's waste paper import quota, resulting in the accumulation of a large number of waste paper in Hong Kong recently, and the situation is more serious than in the past. As the recycling policy, commonly known as the "24 flavor" in the mainland, needs to be continuously strengthened in R & D and innovation, the policy will be fully implemented from next month. Some industries predict that after the 15th day of the first month, the recycling price of waste paper on the market will drop from about 7 cents per kilogram to 5 cents, which will impact the desire to pick up waste, and the situation of waste paper surrounding the city may reappear

[China Packaging News] before the lunar new year, the waste paper recycling industry in Hong Kong announced to "close the furnace" in advance in response to the completion of the mainland's waste paper import quota, resulting in a large number of waste paper accumulated in Hong Kong recently, which was not collected, and the situation was more serious than before. As the recycling policy commonly known as "twenty four flavors" in the mainland will be fully implemented from next month, some industries predict that after the 15th day of the first month, the recycling price of waste paper on the market will fall from about seven cents per kilogram to five cents under the pressure of rules, which will impact the desire to pick up waste, and the situation of waste paper siege may reappear

Liu Yaocheng, President of the environmental waste recycling industry association, said earlier that because the quota of imported waste paper in the mainland had been exhausted as early as the end of last month, mainland paper mills had stopped signing orders for imported waste paper from Hong Kong, and it was expected that the new quota would not be approved until March at the earliest. In order to avoid hoarding too much waste paper, recyclers decided to "close the market" early last Wednesday and not resume recycling until a few days ago. He estimated that the peak period of waste paper recycling is around the lunar new year. It is expected that a total of 60000 tons of waste paper will be produced in Hong Kong during the period from the 10th to the 15th of this month, which is equivalent to the usual amount of a month, of which at least 20000 tons of waste paper will be stockpiled locally due to the "closure"

the streets and alleys of Sai Wan River and Quarry Bay have been piled up.

during the "market closure" of recyclers in the Spring Festival, streets and alleys such as Sai Wan River and Quarry Bay on Hong Kong Island have accumulated a lot of paper sheets in recent days. Although some waste paper and paper suitcases have been disposed of and stacked one layer after another, some are discarded at random on the roadside, blocking the pedestrian passage

Luo Yaoquan, the Hong Kong General Chamber of environmental protection recycling industry, said that local recyclers had "opened the market" a few days ago to recycle waste paper as usual, but the mainland now gives priority to importing waste paper from Europe and the United States. It is expected that the number of orders for locally imported waste paper is getting smaller and smaller, and the recycling price has been "illustrated seat guard water" in the short term. It is estimated that after the 15th day of the first month, that is, from the beginning of next month, the recycling price of waste paper will drop sharply from the current 900 yuan per ton to 700 yuan, The front-line recovery price fell from 6 to 7 cents per kilogram to 3 to 5 cents

Zhuhanqiang, director of lvxi earth environment initiative, said that the mainland's "24 flavor" policy will be fully implemented from next month, tightening the ban on the import of 24 types of solid waste, such as waste plastics, unsorted waste paper, waste textile raw materials, vanadium residue, etc. it is estimated that the local industry is currently taking a wait-and-see attitude, and the local waste paper recycling price will be adjusted accordingly. He worried that if the market price of waste paper recycling fell below 50 cents per kilogram, paper sellers would see that the profit was no longer, or stop picking up paper sheets. In other words, the crisis of "besieging the city with waste paper" may reappear, which will also increase the burden on landfills
