The Significance of Recycling Packaging Resources (I)

Abstract : Through the analysis of the advantages of effective recycling and comprehensive utilization of various packaging wastes, it is fully illustrated that the classification, recycling, and utilization of packaging waste are the objective requirements and needs of human self-survival, and it is a visionary move.

Keywords: packaging resources, ecological environment protection, packaging waste recycling

Various discarded packaging materials and packaging items are both an important potential resource and an important source of pollution. therefore. It is the objective requirements and needs of mankind's self-survival to carry out effective recovery and comprehensive utilization. Its significance lies in:

1 conducive to the protection of the ecological environment

At present, due to the negative effects of various pollution factors, the ecological environment of the Earth is gradually being destroyed. And it is critical to the survival of humans, animals and plants. This is not about the world. It is very serious just because of the current state of our country's environment. worry. According to the relevant information shows. Its severity is reflected in:

1 Freshwater resources are gradually deteriorating. Every year, China discharges more than 35 billion tons of sewage into freshwater. 36% of urban river sections and 50% of urban water resources are polluted. Pollution in the coastal waters is also quite serious. In recent years. The phenomenon of red tides in the sea area of ​​China has occurred from time to time, and the area of ​​red tide has gradually expanded.

2 The air is becoming polluted. China has more than 120 million tons of soot and more than 7 million tons of sulphur dioxide every year. In some cities, the concentration of aerosols exceeds the dozens of times the World Health Organization standards. Even heavy metal dust and toxic waste gas float in the atmosphere of our country.

3 Solid waste is increasing. China's annual industrial waste discharges amount to more than 600 million tons, and it has accumulated more than 100 million tons of garbage. Covers nearly 700 million square meters. Urban solid waste (solid waste) has exceeded 150 million tons per year in the 20th century. And at a rate of 10% per year. These wastes have seriously polluted our rivers, lakes, offshore and farmland. Many industrial cities are "encircled" in garbage, especially from "white pollution". Then suffer endlessly.

4 Soil erosion is getting worse. Currently. China's soil erosion area is 36 to 70,000 square kilometers. It accounts for 38.29"o of the country's total land area. In the past 50 years, China has reduced the area of ​​arable land by more than 40 million mu, and there is still an increasing trend.

5 The area of ​​forests and grasslands is declining. At present, China's forest coverage rate is only 13.5%, which is only about 60% of the world average level. The degraded area of ​​grassland in China is nearly 100 million hectares, accounting for 1/3 of the existing grassland. China's annual desertification of 2,100 square kilometers of land, desertification of a total area of ​​153 7Y-V-square kilometers. It accounts for 16% of the country's total land area. Take Qilian Mountain as an example. In the 1950s, the forest coverage rate was 22.49"o. It is now reduced to 14.49"o; the glacier snowline has decreased. The glacier retreats at a rate of 16.8 meters per year in individual sections; the northern desert of the Hexi Corridor continues to invade southwards. Nearly 2 million mu of farmland was forced to abandon farming, and 6 million mu of farmland was being damaged by wind and sand. The old oasis agriculture was fragile. Due to the increasingly serious desertification, this year. In China's northwestern region, there have been more than 10 serious dust storms, which have caused major losses to the national economy. Bring great inconvenience to people's lives.

6 The urban population has increased. The number of cities in China in 1949 was 450 and the non-agricultural population of the city was 146 million. Among them, there are 30 cities with liD () million or more; after 1971, the development of cities in China was 570, and the pace of the construction of small cities and towns was also accelerating. At present, the urban population of China is nearly 200 million. There are nearly 100 cities with more than 500,000 people. Compared with the 1950s, it showed an explosive increase. This created "modern four hazards" of water, air, solid waste and noise pollution. In urban pollution, various packaging wastes also account for a considerable proportion. Therefore, the focus on the recycling of packaging waste and integrated use of the platform is the effective protection of the ecological environment.

2 is conducive to saving earth resources

Earth resources are limited. Human development is limitless. The limited resources on earth will only become less and less because of the constant consumption of human beings. And once some resources are consumed, they are unlikely to grow again. It will not be able to change it again like a magic master. 3. The magic master's stage performance is only an art and fantasy. It absolutely does not become an eternal reality. Our country is a country with little resources. therefore. We must not be complacent about what we used to say in the past. According to the average population of 1.2 billion in the country, the proportion of our resources is quite low. We are blind to the area of ​​forests, and the total area is the fifth largest in the world. The per capita area accounts for the 119th place, which can be said to be a countdown. We also know that packaging plays a decisive role for the commodity, and high-quality packaging will also add a certain added value to the commodity.However, the packaging will be recycled after use. However, value is discarded as waste and rubbish, which is both a pollution to the environment and a waste of resources. Now some regions and some units are working on refining gasoline from various waste plastic products. , diesel, or other useful substances. It is a useful exploration of turning “junk” into “resources.” But in this regard, more efforts should be made to develop. Furthermore, the largest amount of packaging materials is paper and cardboard. (Including the use of waste paper) 93% is wood. It's not hard to imagine how much pressure the papermaking raw material cost has brought to the earth: Deforestation severely endangers the living environment of human beings. Therefore, the recovery and utilization of all kinds of packaging wastes should be improved. To a large extent, waste paper and plastic recycling should be placed in prominent positions, both directly and indirectly. It has protected the ecological environment and effectively saved the earth's resources.

3 Help protect the health of humans and livestock

According to the findings of relevant scientists, it takes 4OO years for nature to form a centimeter-thick soil layer, and it takes 2000 years to form a species. Because of the reduction of forests, desertification of land, lack of fresh water, and the contaminated water and air, it is threatening the living space of human beings, and various diseases have been formed in the world. Therefore. At present, millions of people around the world advance into the tomb every year, and some are still plagued by illnesses. Due to the environmental pollution, the health of livestock has also been jeopardized, and some have caused death. According to relevant investigations, in recent years, a county in Shanxi. The morbidity and mortality of cattle and sheep are on the rise. The reasons for this are mostly caused by the accidental consumption of waste plastics; cattle and sheep in a livestock farm in Beijing Yanqing have died in batches, and they have been dissected and removed from the stomach of a cow. 13 Kilograms of waste plastics; There are also striking examples of deer deaths in Xinjiang due to accidental feeding of waste plastics. This serious reality. Will restrict the survival and development of China's animal husbandry. Can not help but introspective. Therefore, do a good job of packaging waste. In particular, the recycling of “white” wastes will be beneficial to the safety of humans and livestock, and it can be said that humans are self-protected and rational.

4 Facilitating the development of the fine traditions of the Chinese nation

The Chinese nation has always had its own unique style and virtue. This is "hard struggle," "diligent home ownership," and "diligent and founding a nation." Our nation has never feared hardship. Almost with the "hard" two Yu indissoluble. Back in the revolutionary war years. Our Chinese nation is united. For the sake of saving the country and the nation from peril. For the common needs of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the people of the country all pay attention to "saving every piece of copper plate" to support the national war of justice. Today, we must also save the "copper plate" spirit and pay attention to save every earth resource. In order to consciously and effectively recycle and use a variety of packaging waste. To support China's modern economic construction. Simultaneously. We must also pass on this good tradition of hard work and struggle for "copperplate" from generation to generation. Always let it radiate brilliant light
