9.1 billion tons of plastic! This is the quantity of plastic
weight since the 1950s, which equivalent to 1 billion elephants,
or 25,000 New York Empire State Building. And most of these
plastics are thrown into the landfill or sea, only 9% was used
to take such action as EPS recycling. If the use of plastic in
the existing situation, by 2050, discarded in the landfill and
the environment of waste plastics will be more than 13 billion
tons.
On July 19, 2017, "Science Progress" published a report titled
"The Production, Use and Destiny of Plastics". The report shows
that although the global awareness of environmental protection
is growing, the concept of recycling plastic such as recycling
eps is still difficult to promote the use of plastic recycling
very little. Even if the plastic is incinerated, it will be
harmful to the natural environment.
In fact, the impact of plastic on the environment has been
concerned about. Earlier, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration's Director of the Marine Debris Program, Wallace,
pointed out that the disposal of plastic waste in the water has
harmed more than 600 kinds of marine life, causing whales,
turtles, dolphins, fish and seabirds hurt or died, which is a
threat to the ecological environment, and even people on the
plastic also had a "hostile", but had to admit that the human
life and production can not be separated from plastic.
"Plastic applications are very wide, involving household
products, construction, packaging, automotive, electrical and
electronic, aerospace and many other aspects, recognized the
largest amount of the packaging industry." Beijing University of
Technology, Professor of Materials and Engineering, Deputy
Director of Science and Technology Yang Biao in the "China
Science" reporter interview, said the plastic light, good
performance, good stability, welcomed by all walks of life. But
also because of its stability, resulting in a large number of
long-term accumulation in the environment, causing pollution.
