From July 1, 2019, the Shanghai Municipal Domestic Waste Management Regulations were formally implemented, and Shanghai began to implement compulsory waste classification. The Ministry of Housing and Construction announced that it will implement garbage classification in 46 key cities across the country. Among the 46 key cities, Beijing, Shanghai, Taiyuan, Changchun, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Guangzhou, Yichun and Yinchuan have issued regulations on the management of domestic waste, which clearly bring waste classification into the framework of the rule of law, of which Beijing is the first legislative city.
Garbage classification into the "mandatory era"! What is gratifying is that, with the exception of a few voices of "resistance", the vast majority of Chinese people are responding to the implementation of garbage classification in a way of "love to see" and "full cooperation.
Around the environmental pollution and health costs of garbage, from harmful gases produced by garbage incineration, to harmful waste polluting soil, water sources and even the formation of "cancer villages", from plastic waste harming marine life, to the return of plastic particles... It can be said that it is endless! The waste disposal method we know as "landfill burning" is not friendly to the environment. Since the ban on the import of "foreign garbage" on January 1, 2018, China's determination to control the problem of garbage pollution has been demonstrated. How to deal with mountains of garbage and alleviate the pressure and harm caused by garbage to the environment is not only a problem faced by China, but also a common problem faced by the world.
Ecological recycling • Waste recycling, reduce the birth of garbage
According to the US Bloomberg website, from 2018 to 2050, the rate of human waste production is expected to be more than twice the rate of population growth. Reducing the birth of garbage is an important part of environmental governance.
On March 27, 2019, the Austrian Lenzing Group announced that its non-woven dedicated brand VEOCEL™(Weiyi silk™) Introduce eco-cycle technology. The technology involves the upgrading and recycling of a significant proportion of pre-used cotton waste from sources such as textile production, which is blended with a sustainable supply of wood pulp to produce pure VEOCEL using the Lenzing Group's award-winning, efficient dead-cycle production process.™Lyocell virgin fiber, used in all kinds of non-woven products. The entire process can recover more than 99% of the solvent and water in the dead cycle, and reuse in the entire production process. Therefore, veocel™The lyocell fiber production process has extremely low emission levels and does not require the use of optical brighteners.
As Jü rgenEizinger, vice president of global business management for non-woven fabrics of the Lenzing Group, said: "Since VEOCEL™Since the launch of the brand, we have been pioneering innovation and development of sustainable non-woven technology and applications. Ecological recycling technology will drive us forward boldly and promote the discussion of the circular application of natural plant materials in the ecosystem."
The introduction of eco-cycle technology is VEOCEL.™Practicing the brand's commitment to promoting sustainable development and recycling in the non-woven industry is a strong proof. Once can only be discarded before the waste cotton, textile production and other waste, will be revitalized!
Source traceability-new certification, so that "plastic particles" have no hiding
From the moment the Pandora's box of "plastic particles" was opened, the torture of the soul spread all over the world, and human beings were restless in front of this final shocking "cycle return! And this "sense of self-danger" is also the driving force for all mankind to act together! The world has spared no effort to promote the use of environmentally friendly plastic alternatives. The 2019 United Nations Environment Assembly opened with a ministerial declaration, declaring that by 2030, the number of disposable plastic products should be significantly reduced and more environmentally friendly plastic alternatives should be used.
But what we have to say is that we can't even accurately distinguish which products have invisible plastic particles in addition to the plastic on the surface. This is perhaps the most stringent "garbage classification" can not solve the hidden danger.
The EU's upcoming Single-Use Plastics Directive has classified wet wipes as one of the top 10 plastic pollutants on European beaches, and called for clearer labeling requirements to disclose the plastic content of wet wipes and to indicate the disposal method on product packaging.
As a fiber manufacturer and sustainable development advocate in the non-woven industry, Lenzing has led the industry to take action! On June 27, 2019, Lanjing Group (Lanjing) announced the latest co-brand certification standards for its non-woven special brand Weiyi Silk.™. As of July 1, 2019, Visi™The logo will only be marked on 100 percent of personal care and beauty products made of cellulosic and biodegradable fiber materials. It is the first of its kind in the industry to establish a fiber-containing brand as a trusted logo to facilitate consumers to identify sustainable non-woven personal care and beauty products, such as wet wipes, wet toilet paper, face film, etc.
Only by tracing back to the source can we truly do a good job of environmental protection and sustainability, which has always been the truth that Lanjing insists on! For 81 years, Lanjing Group has insisted on using renewable raw material wood in the production of special fibers and fulfilled its responsibility to protect the ecological environment. In addition to renewable plant raw materials, environmentally friendly production and biodegradation are also Lanjing's further deepening of "environmentally sustainable.
Lan Jing Wei Yi Si™The brand promise of "natural circulation" of brand fiber is the best answer to the nonwoven industry! Weiyi Silk™The branded fibers are produced from renewable wood sources from certified controlled forests and plantations through a range of environmentally friendly processes. This fiber is completely biodegradable and can be safely and quickly decomposed after being discarded, completely returning to nature.
Introduced a new certification standard, that is, only 100% cellulose and biodegradable materials (such as Lanjing™Brand of viscose, cotton and wood pulp, with Weiyi silk.™Brand of fiber mixed use), further practice of the Weiyi silk.™The promise of the brand as a trusted identity. Such strict measures have protected the.™The brand's trust logo commitment and industry benchmarking ensure that Weiyi Silk™Co-branded products do not contain any petrochemicals and bioplastics, allowing consumers to choose with confidence, and also allowing non-woven products containing "plastic particles" to hide.
