The Butterfly Effect &Nbsp Caused By The Rising Price Of Cotton; Plastic Bottles Are Also Valuable.

One piece

These two seemingly unrelated

The gorgeous turn of plastic bottles -- from 10 Fen to four to 10 Fen.

In the balcony of Yang Xiaofan's rented room, hundreds of beverage bottles have been piled up as "beverage control". He can drink 1.25 liters of coke a day, and drink 500 times a day at the most of 500 milliliters. Yang Xiaofan's habit has been kept for four or five years.

In the summer of 2008, he bought a fan with a drink bottle.

However, since October 2008, he no longer sells beverage bottles.

"Before that, the beverage bottles were 10 Fen, and then dropped to 10 Fen or four. After drinking, they simply threw them into the trash can."

Yang Xiaofan said.

On the afternoon of the 20 day, when Yang Xiaofan was cleaning up, he was stopped by a neighbor when he was ready to throw plastic bottles outside.

Yesterday morning, at the acquisition point of Dadong District, a knitted bag bottle of Yang Xiaofan sold 8.6 yuan.

The basic quotations he sells for beverage bottles are 500 ml bottles 10 Fen, 1.25 liters of 20 Fen.

Qian Deshu, a Anhui native who bought more than 10 years of waste in Shenyang, said that in October 2008, beverage bottles fell from 10 Fen to 10 Fen in half a month and fell to 10 Fen four at the end of the year.

In March and April 2009, it rose slightly, but because of the small profit margins, they could not raise their prices. At the end of last year, they had risen to 10 Fen, two. Before and after the May 1st, this year, the quotations from the recycle bin were changed from 20 Fen 52 to 30 Fen two, and they mentioned the price to 10 Fen.

It is understood that in some recycling stations, small beverage bottles rose to 10 Fen 51, and the big one rose to 30 Fen.

Upstream business needs increase

Daily demand ranges from 20 thousand to 100 thousand.

The price of plastic bottles has soared, making the waste station business pick up.

Yao Fengzhi, from Nanyang, Henan, told reporters that at the end of 2008, when the price of plastic bottles was 10 Fen or four, she sometimes received only 30 or 50 per day.

In those days, because of the sluggish business of other waste products, several of her fellow townsman went back to her hometown.

"Now we can get four hundred or five hundred more in a day, and more and more."

It is understood that most of the recycled plastic bottles recovered from the waste station in Shenyang are sold to chemical fiber enterprises. The demand for products in upstream enterprises has increased, and the price of plastic bottles has also been raised.

Lin Miao, head of a chemical fiber company in Guangzhou, said that since last year, the purchase volume of the company has increased at a rate of 10% per month. Even so, it still can not satisfy the customers' needs, so they have to increase the purchase volume, so that the price will come naturally.

"At present, there are at least 100 thousand bottles per day, and at least 20 thousand in 2009."

Lin Miao said.

It has been revealed that the bottle (plastic bottle) was first cut into pieces by machine cutting, and then processed by more than 20 procedures. It turned into a soft fiber. Many of the pillow cores, carpets, stuffed stuffed toys and even clothes in our daily life were pformed from plastic bottles.

Unexpected reasons -

Butterfly effect caused by rising prices of cotton

In order to explore the underlying reasons behind the rise in the price of plastic bottles, the reporter was surprised to find that the price rise of cotton was the most important promoter of the price rise of plastic bottles.

The head of a garment enterprise in Hangzhou revealed that in the first half of last year, the price of cotton rose sharply in the first half of the year, rising from 13 thousand / ton to 19 thousand per ton in the first half of the year, up by nearly 50%, which made many upstream enterprises give up cotton spinning to produce polyester spinning, making the demand for plastic bottles increasing.

Chen Jie, an information analyst who has been engaged in plastic products research for a long time, said that over the past year, 30% to 40% of cotton spinning enterprises in China have been pformed into polyester spinning enterprises to produce polyester fiber products.

At the same time, due to the implementation of the export tax rebate policy for China's textile industry, coupled with the good development prospects of the polyester and spun industry, the newly launched polyester and polyester enterprises have increased, and their huge demand for raw materials has pushed up the price of plastic fibers, thus causing the price of plastic bottles to skyrocket.

In addition, plastic is an extract of petroleum, and the rise in price is also related to the rise of oil.

Bullish

Waste plastic bottles are also stockpiling.

Since the rise of waste plastic bottles in the industry, the competitive relationship between individual consumers has undergone subtle changes.

It is understood that, in general, the waste plastic bottles of residents in a residential area will fall in the hands of several fixed self-employed persons, and they will be resale to a slightly larger waste station.

And those waste stations are receiving scattered recycling at the same time.

The phenomenon of hoarding has begun to appear in their links.

At present, the trend of plastic price increases is obvious. Those who have hoarding goods have consciously participated in the "investment". They buy at a low price and sell at the right time.

It is understood that since the start of the plastic and chemical fiber spot market, many individual waste households have earned a lot of money.

According to industry sources, chemical fiber production and processing enterprises can not get the raw materials, and can only raise the price of recycled plastic bottles, but the higher the price is, the more the bulls are bullish.

New China

Reflecting inflationary pressures

According to Prof. Fang Tian, director of Liaoning Institute of industrial economics, changes in the price of waste plastic bottles reflect more economic phenomena than cotton prices.

From the present point of view, the increasing demand for plastic bottles indicates that enterprises have come out of the haze of the financial crisis and are in good development.

In the long run, the rise in the price of plastic bottles must be followed by the rise in international oil prices. The rise in international oil prices has led to the whole body. It has finally affected the prices of terminal consumer goods, and the rise in CPI and PPI prices has also played a supporting role in raising the price of plastic bottles to a certain extent. Therefore, the price rise of plastic bottles can reflect inflationary pressures.
