The first batch of bottles made of recyclable plastics is expected to be launched \u00a0in China soon as the material passes the review of the relevant quality departments.<\/p>\n
It is learned from local media reports that the production line of Beijing Incom Resources Recovery Company, reportedly the only company in China that has been approved to produce renewable plastic for food and drink packages and been listed by China's National Development and Reform Commission as a pilot enterprise for the recycling economy, is said to be able to process 50,000 tons of waste PET bottles each year, which accounts for one-third of the city's total waste plastic bottles , and will yield 25,000 tons of recyclable plastic from these bottles.<\/p>\n
Zou Zuye, the deputy director of the China Packaging Federation, says that China produces about three million tons of plastic bottles each year which consumes about 18 million tons of oil. Zou says that if all these plastic bottles were recycled after use, it would help to save a great deal of oil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
