The EU’s interim political agreement to amend the “Waste Shipment Regulation” reached on Nov. 17, imposes strict controls on the export of waste plastics, aiming to reduce the flow of problematic waste outside the EU. This change presents both challenges and new opportunities for the waste plastic recycling machinery industry.
Background Of The EU’s Waste Plastics Control Policy
欧洲只有三分之一的废塑料被回收，一半的回收废塑料出口到欧盟以外。由于与这些废塑料管理相关的问题，欧盟理事会和议会决定修订《废物运输条例》，以明确废塑料出口的标准和程序。
Challenges For Recycling Machinery
随着塑料废料进出口管制的升级，回收机械行业面临的挑战也随之升级。首先，塑料废料回收设备需要适应更严格的塑料废料分选和分类标准，以确保回收的塑料废料符合新的出口标准。其次，禁止向非经合组织国家出口废塑料可能会导致废塑料回收设备企业的市场范围受到限制，企业需要寻找新的市场机会。
Recycling Equipment Development Opportunities
Under the new situation of the EU’s waste plastics control policy, the recycling machinery industry has also ushered in opportunities for development. Innovative technologies, especially the intelligent classification and sorting system commonly used in PET bottle recycling lines, can help recycling equipment meet waste plastic classification standards more accurately and improve recycling efficiency. This not only helps to meet export standards but also improves the competitiveness of enterprises.
Environmental Awareness Drives Market Demand
The implementation of the EU’s waste plastics control policy will guide enterprises and consumers to pay more attention to the environmentally friendly treatment of waste plastics, which will drive the demand for the waste plastics recycling machinery market. Plastic recycling machine manufacturers can meet the market demand for sustainable development and circular economy by providing advanced environmental protection technologies and realizing market share gains.
Opportunities For Global Circular Economy Cooperation
欧盟垃圾运输法规的修订也为全球循环经济合作提供了机遇。塑料回收机制造商可以与非经合组织国家合作，制定符合标准的废塑料处理方案，扩大国际合作空间，促进全球废物管理的改善。
新的政策环境下，回收机械行业需要不断创新，不仅要满足欧盟的废塑料管控标准，还要适应全球废物管理的不断升级。通过技术发展和产业升级，塑料废弃物回收设备行业能够更好地适应市场需求。
综上所述，欧盟废塑料管控政策的升级给回收机械行业带来了新的挑战，但也为其发展提供了机遇。
