A few days ago, the reporter received a signed letter from the reader of Beijing Panyang Weiye Technology Co., Ltd. to this newspaper, reflecting that this high-tech enterprise, which used to be recycled and used for the recycling of used rubber from Liguo Limin, was not supported by national policies. , coupled with market confusion, corporate production is unsustainable and forced to stop production. They suggested that the media could call for them to save the green company and save the waste rubber recycling industry.
According to the readers' report, the reporter went to Beijing Panyang Weiye Technology Co., Ltd., and visited the company's fine powder production base in the outskirts of Beijing. What caught the eye of the reporter was the closed door, idle equipment, and empty space. Factory area. Face to face this situation, it is hard to believe that this is the country's largest fine powder production enterprises - Beijing Panyang Weiye Technology Co., Ltd. production base.
At the interview, Pang Shuhua, one of the company's principals, told reporters about the unfortunate experience of the company's decline from prosperity. China has an annual output of more than 100 million tires, ranking third in the world. How to effectively use used tires and prevent pollution has always been a worldwide problem. Although there are many ways to use scrap tires such as refurbishment, shredding for fuel for power generation, chemical cracking and recovery of carbon black and fuel oil, and making rubber pellets, the trend is increasingly to use scrap tires to produce rubber powder. Rubber powder has an irreplaceable advantage: the latter does not have pollution caused by the production of reclaimed rubber, and there is no other secondary pollution; and rubber powder products, high technological content, equipment and products suitable for international operations, in line with international development trends, rubber The most amazing thing about powder is that it can make use of used tires 100% and can be recycled. It is truly recycled and sustainable.
It is a fancy prospect for the development of rubber powder. In May 2000, the company invested in the construction of a fine powder production base with an annual output of 10,000 tons in Beijing's outer suburbs. In May 2001, it completed the first phase of the 5,000-ton production line equipment installation. Commissioning, put into formal production and supply to domestic and foreign customers. The product is 80-200 mesh fine rubber powder, which is recognized by domestic and foreign counterparts as the only manufacturer capable of mass production of 200 mesh superfine rubber powder at room temperature. The production line is put into the packaging of fine rubber powder finished products from waste tires, continuous automatic production, coarse crushing, intermediate crushing, impurity removal (metal, fiber), special grinding aids processing, fine crushing, grading and other procedures, the entire process technology The indicators are fully automated under the control of a central computer centralized control room. It is the first fully automatic computerized centralized control of fine rubber powder production lines in the same industry in China, and the scale of production is also ranked among the top companies in the industry in the country.
Pang Yuhua said that the normal-temperature additive process of fine rubber powder has created a series of industrial-scale mass production of more than 200 mesh (with a particle size of 75 μm or less) fine powder and ultra-fine rubber powder, so that used tire re-use products go in the direction of higher added value. Rubber nanomaterials have taken a big step forward. These ultra-fine rubber powders have broad prospects for the development of new materials such as highways in new types of rubber and plastic blends, new building decoration materials, special sprays, and modified asphalts.
Recalling the brilliance that had previously been experienced, Pang Xiaohua sighed with regret: “The company’s waste rubber at room temperature additives method to obtain fine rubber powder†project because of its advanced technology, original technology and the economic and social benefits it can create. At the time, the United States, Canada, the United Arab Emirates, Switzerland, and other countries, as well as officials of the British government's Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Economic Development, heard about the company's visit to the company and discussed cooperation matters.The United States, South Korea, Canada Tests by relevant authorities in countries such as Switzerland and Switzerland have fully complied with the ASTM D5603-96 technical quality standards of the American Materials Association, and Switzerland and South Korea have signed formal supply contracts with us.â€
It is understood that due to the chaos of the waste rubber recycling industry, the state has no clear policy in this area. After four years of struggle, the company was forced to stop production. Why do well-end companies fail? Pang Yuhua told reporters that at present, the country's largest fine powder factories are in the state of suspend production and semi-discontinued. Although the reasons for the discontinued production of various manufacturers are not the same, their common problems are worth noting.
High tax rates put the company into serious losses. Since used tires are all purchased from farmers who have collected waste products in cities, they cannot obtain value-added tax invoices. Enterprises must bear the value-added tax of 17% of sales. Compared with the 6% real value-added tax after deducting input tax from other manufacturing industries such as machinery, chemical industry and other manufacturing industries, the environmental protection type waste recycling enterprise has several times the actual tax. The high acquisition costs of scrap tires and high taxes have already made the cost of the product higher than those of similar products in developed countries.
The use of environmentally friendly renewable resources products lacks policy support. As a pollution-free renewable resource, the use of rubber powder is beneficial to the country and the people. It deserves the strong support of the government. However, due to policy barriers, it is difficult to promote it in the domestic market. In recent years, China's fine powder technology has developed rapidly, especially at room temperature, fine powder products have reached the international advanced level. Originally, these waste rubber wastes can become waste and treasure, and earn foreign exchange for the country. However, compared with developed countries, they can't participate in international market competition by adding port fees, ocean freight, insurance premiums and tariffs. The proportion of waste tire raw materials and value-added tax in these costs reached 58%, making rubber powder companies that just started unable to withstand, and was eventually dragged down step by step.
When the reporter learned from the investigation, he learned that it is not only this one that has failed to produce environmentally friendly renewable resources. Does China really need to recycle used tires? Actually, methods such as landfill and burning to treat solid waste are not applicable to used tires. Scrap tires are infusible or infusible macromolecule elastomers, and their macromolecules are broken down to the extent that they do not affect plant growth in the soil. The industry calls it "black pollution." In some areas, discarded tires are used as fuel, and severe pollution leaves no grass around.
The experts said with concern that if this continues, it will cause great harm to our ecological environment. They hope that the government can formulate a practical and feasible measure to implement "national treatment" for waste tire recycling enterprises. Such as adjustments to the production and processing of used tire rubber powder, the use of value-added tax collection methods for resource recycling companies, and the formulation of policies that encourage all sectors of the industry to use rubber resources for the reuse of products, etc. Only when policies are in place can these companies be brought back to life, and they will be able to truly To realize the sustainable development of old tire resources.
