What is the impact of plastic pallets on sustainable development?

Mar 17, 2022

As we all know, the atomic composition of plastic pallets is nothing more than carbon and hydrogen, so after recycling, incineration power generation is a good solution, and there are mature foreign experiences that can be used for reference. Of course, waste plastics can regenerate fuel, which is even more attractive. The technical department of a chemical company estimates that the energy per pound of PS is equivalent to 75% of No. 2 fuel oil (20,000 British thermal units BTU). In addition, the recycled plastic pallets can be regenerated and granulated as injection molding materials. Some people in China also use recycled PS pellets to re-impregnate them. The plastic pallet plates made of recycled plastic pallets are of acceptable quality and have certain industrial value. It is also a successful experience to make paint and glue from plastic pallet waste. It is said that waste plastic pallets can be re-decomposed into styrene monomers. Of course, to do this, there must be a large supply of waste plastic pallets. To sum up, the so-called "white pollution" of plastic pallets is essentially the recycling of discarded plastic pallets.


1. "Recycling plastic pallets can develop plastic pallets". "White pollution" is caused by the waste of plastic pallets. A large number of discarded plastic pallets are not recycled, and it is unacceptable for people to cause pollution to the environment. Some places and some industries reject plastic pallet products, which is enough to show the seriousness of the problem. Obviously, we have done a good job in recycling, eliminating pollutants, and turning waste into treasure, so that the plastic pallet industry can develop without any scruples. Many advantages of plastic pallets have been fully utilized in the packaging industry, in order to protect commodities. , Beautify the goods and reduce the loss caused by poor packaging.

2. Organize and establish a national plastic pallet recycling association. Currently, plastic pallet recycling associations have been established in the Americas and Europe, and eight countries and regions including Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan, and Hong Kong have also participated under the Asian Plastic Pallet Recycling Association. The main participants in the recycling organization are the manufacturers of raw materials and products of plastic pallets. In order to develop their own industry and for the benefit of themselves and the public, they must do a good job in recycling their products. Without this, there is no other way.

3. Recycling costs for extracting plastic pallets. In the process of selling plastic pallet raw materials and products, a part of the funds necessary for recycling plastic pallets is reserved. In Europe, a recycling fee of 0.1 marks must be paid per kilogram of plastic pallet products. In China, if one kilogram of RMB is charged as a recycling fee, there will be a recycling fee of 14 million yuan throughout the year, plus the benefits generated by recycling, so that the smooth progress of the plastic pallet recycling work can be guaranteed financially.

4. The above work must be supported by the government, that is, legislation must be made. The production of plastic pallet foam requires legislation to charge; there are incentives for collecting plastic pallets; the entire recycling process, including the scientific research and production process using waste foam, must be supported by national taxation. All in all, recycling waste foam plastics is a necessary implementation condition that is technically feasible and economically beneficial. And this work, as long as the understanding is consistent and the measures are solid, it can be done well. It can be concluded that the plastic pallet industry must take the road of recycling. Only by doing a good job in recycling can we truly eliminate "white pollution". Only when recycling is concentrated, can "pollution" turn waste into treasure, and ultimately promote a healthier development of the plastic pallet industry. With such a virtuous cycle, plastic pallets can become a good product for protecting the environment.
