The Value Of A Waste Plastic Bottle Returned To &Nbsp; Fiber Production Enterprises Scrambled For Acquisitions.

At the gate of South Shaobo District in Hangzhou, Master Wang, who was engaged in the waste purchase, was bundled with a pile of waste plastic edible oil bottles. He had already stacked two sacks of beverage bottles on his tricycle. "Summer drinks bottles are the most, and now the price has risen, and the beverage bottles are 10 Fen, a few months ago, the price is 25 Fen cents three."

At the same time, you may have noticed that less and less pure cotton clothes are now available. Especially in summer, you may prefer sweating T-shirts marked with polyester fibers on water.

These two things seem to be different from each other.

In fact, behind the rising trend of the price of waste plastic bottles is the growing demand for recycled plastic materials in the chemical fiber industry.

Under their influence, waste plastic bottles are experiencing a "return of value".

Recovery price back to 0.1 yuan a

Master Wang from Anhui has bought waste products in Hangzhou for 6 years. He said that the price of purchasing plastic bottles at present is 0.2 yuan / bottle of edible oil bottle 0.5 yuan / 1.25 liters. In summer, the most is 550 milliliter specifications of beverage bottles, 0.1 yuan /, "some mineral water bottles, the thinner and thinner they are, they are like cartons, squeezed with a pinch, and 0.2 bottles of three bottles."

In the impression of Master Wang, at the end of 2008, the price of recycled plastic bottles was low. Common cola bottles and mineral water bottles fell to 0.1 yuan and three, and the purchase amount of factories was also low.

In the second half of 2009, the price of waste plastic bottles began to pick up gradually. The price of the plastic bottles he bought from the residents was 0.2 yuan and three yuan.

Last summer, his purchase price was 0.25 yuan, three, and then sold to the waste acquisition station at a price of 2.6 yuan -2.7 yuan / Jin.

In March of this year, he bought the waste plastic bottles from the residents. He mentioned 0.1 yuan per unit, and sold it to the acquisition station for 3 yuan / Jin.

Now, the price has exceeded 3 yuan / Jin.

Chemical fiber enterprises compete for waste plastic bottles

"The purchase price of plastic bottles has gone up from last year to this year."

"At this time last year, the average price of the whole bottle we bought at home and abroad was about 850 US dollars -900 US dollars / ton, and our average purchase price this year is US $980 -1000 US dollars / ton," Dong Ning manager of JNY textile said.

Statistics of recycled plastic network show that in early August of last year, the price of PET net color bottle in the domestic market was about 5600 yuan -6100 yuan / ton. In the first quarter of this year, the price had reached 6500 yuan -7000 yuan / ton.

Dong said that the total amount of plastic bottles used in the market has not changed. Because plastic is a derivative product of petroleum, in the current shortage of petroleum resources, waste plastic bottles have become the object of competition for many chemical fiber manufacturers.

"The products of our company are mainly toys, sofa fillers, or

Can be made into bulletproof vest after processing.

The recovery price of plastic bottles is rising. Besides the shortage of oil resources, it is largely influenced by the increasing demand of the chemical fiber industry.

Zhu Qingrong, Secretary General of Zhejiang renewable resources recycling association, introduced the recycling of waste plastic bottles for a wide range of purposes.

The bottle cap can be granulated, and all kinds of plastic products can be manufactured in industry. Chemical fiber enterprises recycle plastic bottles, and after many processes, they become soft but elastic fibers, and then make strong traction belts and fillers. A Cixi enterprise can use this kind of fiber to make bulletproof vest.

Hangzhou Fuxing Group can use recycled fiber to make carpet.

Yao Ting, Secretary General of Hangzhou Textile Association, said that the chemical fiber industry mainly uses recycled plastic made from waste plastic bottles, which has good elasticity and coarse fiber than ordinary fabrics. It is a popular filler in the market.

This kind of fiber, such as non-woven fabrics, can be used in production of pillow core, quilt cotton padding, sofa liner, clothing filling and so on.

"The recycling industry abroad is more developed, and the classification of waste plastic bottles is much more sophisticated than domestic. Therefore, more than half of the recycled materials in the chemical fiber industry rely on imports."

Yao Ting said, "the recovery price of domestic waste plastic bottles is rising. The direct reason is that the price of imported bottles is getting higher and higher."

The price of imported bottles increased, because the capacity of China's regenerated fiber enterprises is expanding, and demand for bottles has been increasing.

Chemical fiber materials are being sought after, and the idea of dressing is changing.

As the main raw material of the textile industry, the fluctuation of the price of cotton and cocoon silk has restrained the demand of the enterprises. Cotton blended fabrics, chemical fiber fabrics and new fabrics with strong substitution are being welcomed by garment enterprises and home textile enterprises.

"In recent years, in the textile industry, chemical fiber materials are developing very fast, which is also related to the change of consumer clothing demand."

Yao Ting said.

More than half of the summer T-shirts in Hangzhou are marked with 100%polyester (polyester).

This kind of T-shirt is especially popular with customers in summer, shop assistants.

In last year's World Cup in South Africa, 9 teams wore shirts made of waste plastic bottles.

In the face of increasingly demanding fashion women's clothing market, some strong plastic fabrics have also begun to replace cotton products.

The director of product development department of Shaoxing's Fangyuan said that the clothing concept of consumers has changed greatly compared with the past. Besides the pursuit of comfort, it also needs to be beautiful.

Especially in summer, women's clothing is now popular in pursuit of elegance, chiffon, polyester filament and other materials to meet this requirement.

In air-conditioned environment, polyester fibers and other materials even feel more cool than pure cotton clothing.

"In autumn and winter, the use of cotton and feather has been less and less."

Yao Ting said that the price of artificial down and imitation feather is cheap, thermal insulation is good, elasticity is better, and clothing is more light, and for enterprises, the cost will be lower.

Most of these materials can be made from waste plastic bottles.

A cup of coffee beans make two T-shirts, cotton cloth, and many alternatives.

Anko Delmask, a young German biologist and fashion designer, studied the method of extracting fibers from sour milk and weaving them into fabrics. "The advantage of this method is that cloth can be produced without pollution, without any pesticides or other chemicals, and it can be completed in only one hour."

However, about half of the global greenhouse effect emissions are caused by the dairy industry, which is another kind of pollution to the environment.

Moreover, the price of fabrics made by the de mash method is not expensive, and the future of large-scale commercial application is not clear.

Adriana Bertini, an artist in Brazil, made a prom dress with a condom. She thought it could not only remind people to be careful in preventing AIDS, but also tell people that anything can be effectively recycled.

Bertini's condom used for making fabrics is rejected by factories and has not been used.

If her method is really put into production, the sources of rubber materials used by condoms are very important. They are best made of well managed and sustainable forests.

Coffee beans were also selected to join the garment industry.

Xingcai industry, Taiwan, China, has spent three years researching this kind of high-tech environmental fabric. They can make two T-shirts with the coffee beans needed in a medium sized coffee.

In order to carry out the spirit of environmental protection, they insist that the coffee beans used to make raw materials of fabrics are entirely organic. They do not use any chemicals. The whole process of producing fabrics does not produce high temperature carbides, and is green and energy saving.

Another fast growing plant, hemp, does not require pesticides or fertilizers.

An acre of hemp produces about three times the fiber produced by the same area of cotton.
