A complete ban on the entry of foreign garbage , why is there still imported garbage?

The reason for the complete ban on the entry of "foreign garbage" is to make profits.

China was once the world's largest importer of foreign garbage, and 56% of the world's garbage is sent to China. Maybe you don't know what this concept is. This can be understood through this example.

Every year, the world generates 5 billion tons of e-waste, and 70% of this waste is shipped to China. Now that China imports foreign garbage, other countries will be in big trouble, and some people will even openly criticize us.

Australian experts say that it is self-serving for us not to import foreign waste.

In previous years, solid waste was banned.

Management objectives of imports.

It is written into the law, and in China's "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Waste", it is very clear that the country will gradually achieve zero import of solid waste.

Seoul, South Korea. In a garbage dump, there is a pile of "used clothing" that needs to be disposed of, and if the workers were to destroy all the clothes, it would cost a million dollars, and a garment factory in China bought the clothes for half a million dollars.

The South Korean side was very happy and earned half a million dollars without spending a penny. And these clothes, as long as they are simply cleaned and renovated, and labeled as "foreign trade tail list" and "foreign trade unique product", can enter the market and earn 5 million dollars when sold.

This is the main reason why some people are so happy about importing garbage.

In recent decades, we have imported tens of thousands of pieces of used clothes, electronics, plastics, metals, slag from the United States, Japan, Australia, Europe.

These are all developed countries.

If foreigners sell them to underdeveloped countries, they will not only not spend a penny more, but can make a lot of money.

However, these merchants in our country can turn these "foreign garbage" into treasures, which seems to be a win-win deal, but in fact it is a "black-hearted business".

Because this is not garbage on the surface, it represents some products that will pollute the environment or are harmful to the body.

Because many things that foreigners don't want can be sold well in our country, for example, they don't want pig offal and chicken feet.

Because it is profitable, some things can be reused, and you can make a few more money by selling it to others, which not only saves a lot of costs, but also makes a profit from the countries that export foreign garbage, so there will be so much imported garbage.

Since January 1, 2021, China has begun to prohibit the import of solid waste in any form, in order to reduce the pressure on China's ecological environment. <>

Solid waste refers to the waste that loses its original value in the production and other processes, or the object that has not lost its value, but has been abandoned, commonly known as foreign garbage, since it is garbage, why does China import it? In the early days of reform and opening up, China's industry and commerce developed rapidly, for many raw materials in the process of industrial development, in our country are scarce products, in order to alleviate the lack of forgiveness, China began to import from abroad, can be re-used as raw materials for solid waste, which mainly includes waste plastics, waste paper, waste steel, smelting materials, waste textile raw materials, and waste hardware materials, etc. <>

These solid waste is the same as the current resource reuse, the waste resources are reused, and these solid costs are low, you can get a large number of renewable resources, through the import of solid waste, China can get a huge recycled plastic, recycled paper, recycled steel, etc., in general,It can save huge resources, not only to alleviate the contradiction of insufficient materials in the process of rapid industrial development in China, but also to alleviate the damage to the ecological environment caused by excessive resource development. <>

However, solid waste will eventually cause pollution to China's environment, because imported solid waste has brought huge pressure to China's ecological environmentNow China attaches more and more importance to the protection of the ecological environment, industrial development must not be at the expense of the environment, Jinshan Yinshan is not as good as lucid waters and green mountains, so China has been vigorously rectifying the ecological environment, starting from 2017, it is strictly forbidden to enter the country, for the import of solid waste, put forward various restrictions and clear requirements, in 2021, China will gradually achieve zero import of solid waste.

It is forbidden to import 32 varieties of solid waste, such as scrap hardware, scrap ships, scrap automobile presses, smelting slag, and industrial waste plastics.

In order to further standardize the management of solid waste imports and prevent environmental pollution, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Ministry of Commerce, the National Development and Reform Commission and the General Administration of Customs have adjusted the current Catalogue of Solid Wastes that Can Be Used as Raw Materials in the Restricted Categories of Imports, Catalogues of Solid Wastes that Can Be Used as Raw Materials in the Non-Restricted Import Categories and Catalogues of Solid Wastes Prohibited from Importing.

On the 19th, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued an announcement on the adjustment of the "Catalogue of Imported Waste Management". 16 varieties of solid waste, including scrap hardware, scrap ships, scrap automobile presses, smelting slag, industrial waste plastics, waste disc scraps, waste motors based on copper, and waste wires based on aluminum, will be transferred to the "Catalogue of Prohibited Imports of Solid Waste", which will be implemented from December 31, 2018.

According to the announcement, 16 varieties of solid waste, including stainless steel waste and scrap, titanium waste and scrap, tungsten waste and scrap, magnesium waste and scrap, vanadium waste and scrap, and wood waste and scrap, will be transferred to the "Catalogue of Prohibited Imported Solid Waste", which will be implemented from December 31, 2019.

A few days ago, China's Ministry of Ecology and Environment, Ministry of Commerce, and the General Administration of Customs issued the strongest garbage ban. In the jointly issued Announcement on Matters Concerning the Comprehensive Ban on the Import of Solid Waste, it is clearly stated that starting from January 1, 2021, China will completely ban the import of solid waste.

All applications for import licences for such wastes will be closed and restricted, and any entity or individual who violates this provision will be fined or, as the case may be, criminally liable. And it is not only the carrier that is liable, but also the importer who is jointly and severally liable.

Our ban on foreign garbage has a lot to do with our growing strength, foreign garbage is the electronic products, clothes and other things that foreigners do not want or even discard, and even contain toxic and harmful substances, but we import them into China, isn't our country a garbage dump?

What are the hazards of foreign garbage?

The electronic waste and waste plastic waste in the foreign garbage with toxic and harmful substances are non-degradable, especially the electronic equipment waste containing 1000 different components, which will emit many toxic and harmful substances, which have hidden and long-term hazards. Environmental pollution, foreign waste production, processing and utilization industry chain rely on manual express sorting and manual disassembly. E-waste is dismantled by pickling, passivating and burning plates.

Organic waste gas and wastewater are discharged immediately after they are not resolved, causing river pollution and excessive heavy metal content in the soil. Health effects, garbage carrying toxic and harmful substances such as viral infections and bacteria may immediately infect practitioners. Air pollution from production, processing and utilization can also harm the physical and mental health of local people.

Why is the U.S. very opposed to China's ban on foreign garbage imports?

The United States has always been a powerful garbage exporter, and in China, the largest garbage exporter of the United States, we suddenly issued a ban, making the current garbage ** stations in the United States pile up. In just one month, they filled 3,000 bags of discarded printing paper from the garbage collection station, so the garbage collection station staff complained that garbage was uncontrollable in the United States. In China, this has also seriously affected the management of waste materials around the world, so the rules change rapidly, and it is difficult to adjust in every relevant field.

He also accused China of violating its responsibilities and obligations in the WTO. In South Korea, there was a chilling scene where they announced that they would not be milky fast food boxes. And pet plastic bottles and other waste plastic waste, even if a notice is posted in the community, the old plastic bottle will not be deducted.

There is a huge amount of plastic waste deposited in the community, which has also changed our lives dramatically. Not only the United States and South Korea were affected, but many weak countries were also harmed accordingly. The UK even ignites plastic waste, which will cause certain harm to the surrounding environment.

They also have irresponsible personal behavior and even throw junk money into the deep sea.

The main reason is that the environmental pollution is too serious, and China wants to protect the environment well, and wants to make China's ecological environment better, so that it can be more beneficial to people.

At present, the domestic environmental situation is relatively severe, and the country's economy is in a downturn, so we must import less foreign garbage to avoid environmental pollution.

The main reason is that these foreign garbage will cause great pollution to the environment and is not conducive to environmental protection.

According to reports, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment recently held the first ministerial executive meeting to review and approve in principle the "2018-2020 Action Plan on Comprehensively Implementing the Implementation Plan for Prohibiting the Entry of Foreign Garbage and Promoting the Reform of the Solid Waste Import Management System", and unswervingly prohibit the entry of foreign garbage.

According to the report, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment said that the ban on the entry of foreign garbage is a major decision made in the new era and new situation, and it is a landmark measure for the construction of ecological civilization in China.

At the same time, it is also necessary to carry out special supervision and inspection actions on environmental violations of imported solid waste processing and utilization enterprises, which is an effective starting point for vigorously developing the circular economy and promoting the law-abiding operation of enterprises. Carry out work in strict accordance with laws and regulations, and clarify and verify illegal conduct, so that the facts are clear and the evidence is clear.

I hope that the entry of foreign garbage can be banned as soon as possible!
