Because the waste plastics used for recycling are not up to standard and can cause harm to human health, the State has long stipulated that raw materials used in food plastic packaging, containers, and tools shall not use recycled and contaminated raw materials. However, for several days, the reporter learned through multiple clues that a number of stores sold plastic water bottles made from recycled plastic waste plastic on a street outside the plastic market in Harbin City. They called them recycled bottles. Most of these bottles were recycled. It is used to fill pigmented carbonated beverages and sold to the surrounding counties, cities and rural areas in Harbin.
Behind the recycling of waste plastics in Fengguo Village in the outer area of ​​Harbin Road, it is a grey industrial chain that has long been a mystery in the industry but has been out of sight of the public. According to Mr. Liu, who is familiar with this type of business, from the point of waste recycling to production and use, the general chain is: waste plastics takeover stations Enterprises that specialize in shredding waste plastics produce preforms. Bottled beverages are sold by manufacturers of mineral water bottles.
One ton of recycled bottles can save 4,000 yuan
"This type of bottle is made from recycled plastic waste. The cost is low. The two bottles of wool are more expensive. The plastic bottles of pure plastic materials are processed for more than three ounces of cash. Look at where your drinks are sold and sold to the city. Go to the countryside, use the recycled ones, and buy cheaper carbonated drinks. Stick with a trademark that blocks more than half of the bottle. Most people simply don't see the bottle's stink. Feeling exceptionally harsh.
At noon on August 22, the reporter went to the Xinlida Plastic Products Distribution Department at No. 44 Nanhe Street in the outskirts of Harbin Road. The store contained various plastic bottles. When journalists processed beverages in rural villages and towns, male shopkeepers picked up a plastic bottle and said that if the beverages produced were sold to rural areas, the use of such bottles was the most cost-effective. "This plastic bottle has a turbid color and is not shiny enough. Look closely to see if there is a black dot on it." The male owner took two bottles of pure raw materials and recycled plastic to help reporters compare.
"Is this kind of bottle filled with drinks?" Faced with the questioning of reporters, the male shop owner said: "You wear colored carbonated drinks, and then paste the trademark that can block more than half of the bottle. I can't see it at all, but don't put water on it, look dirty, people won't buy it, juice doesn't work, water cuts, and the bottle is too soft to hold up. This kind of drink is cheap!†He also stated that he can also produce beverage brands.
In this street, the reporter visited several other plastic products stores and discovered that it was common for the recycling bottles to be sold together with raw material bottles. "The cost per ton of recycling bottles is only 8,000 yuan, while the cost per ton of raw material bottles is about 12,000 yuan." This is the industry insider revealed by many shopkeepers.
Cheap children's toys are poisonous
“The one-for-two yuan children's plastic toys on the market are all processed with waste plastics. There are no factory names on these toys. They look very big, they are frightening at cheap prices, they play for children and they are too pitiful.†An industry source disclosed to reporters that due to the limited level of local “processingâ€, only bottles of plastic products can be produced, and “premium†products such as toys need to be sent outside the province for processing.
On the 22nd, the reporter discovered ultra-low-cost children's toys at the flyover near the Provincial Hospital of Xiangfang District in Harbin. A large plastic police car in the palm of one dollar, a colorful big plastic bus, and three yuan.. The reporter picked up the toy police car and found that the toy is very light, the wind will fall, the body is gray, and the work is very rough. , and covered with black spots. Come close to hearing, there are unpleasant odors. The woman who sells the toy said that because these toys are very cheap, many passing parents will buy one or two children, but when asked where these toys come from, the woman will not answer. According to industry insiders, these low-priced toys are mostly sent from the south. “In the local area, these toys made from recycled plastics are sold by the catty.â€
"With recycled materials, you can't see it."
At the Oriental Plastics Products Distribution Department at No. 27 Nanhe Street in the outskirts of Harbin, I heard that when other bottles of pure raw materials were sold to the reporter San Maosan, the female owner dismissed and said, “This price is dare to say that it is a pure raw material. Can you believe it? The key is that even if it is mixed with recycled material, it will not be visible to the general public. Unless scientific tests are performed, but generally small workshops for making drinks and mineral water, who cares if the bottle is qualified?"
According to the female owner, she processed two bottles of five bottles of beer and stamped two bottles of wool. I heard that the reporter wanted to open a mineral water processing factory. The female shopkeeper said that the mineral water bottle can also be done. Then he said while taking out a blue plastic product, similar in shape to a test tube. "I can blow this bottle and blow it out in a faint blue color. The mineral water bottles in the regular factories on the market are also light blue, so it's not easy to tell." When a reporter sighs and can't tell with the naked eye, the female shopkeeper says: "You Look carefully, there are black dots, not careful, simply do not see it." The reporter looked closely, there is indeed a small black spot on the raw material is not easy to see.
At the same time, the reporter also found a variety of trademarks in this store, with a roll in the corner. In addition, there are a variety of colored straws. When the reporter asked, when the shop's factory, the female owner secretly smiled: "My factory in Daqing, can not take you to." In addition, the reporter visited the plastic store in Nanhe Street and noticed that in many businesses' shelves At the same time, ultra-thin plastic bags that the country explicitly prohibits production and sales are placed. "Check it out, and it was taken away. The wind passed, and it was still sold." A woman owner said indifferently.
