Man and nature shake hands in circular economy

Every year, 26 million hectares of forests are dying in the world, a quarter of them are desertified, 100 countries are short of water, and about 1.7 billion people lack clean water. Biodiversity is still declining. Climate warming is exacerbating natural disasters. Indeed, there are few opportunities to rescue the Earth that is deeply buried in the ecological crisis.

At present, major cities are faced with the predicament of resource shortage while rubbish is still a mountain, and it is a significant event to recycle waste into useful resources.

To solve this contradiction, many countries have proposed a circular economy model. The circular economy advocates an economic development model based on the continuous recycling of materials. It requires that economic activities be organized into a “material-product-resource regeneration” material circulation process in accordance with the natural ecosystem model, making the entire economy The system and the production and consumption processes do not produce or generate very little waste. Traditional economy achieves quantitative growth of the economy by continuously turning resources into waste, which eventually leads to the depletion of natural resources; and circular economy allows material and energy to be used rationally and lastingly in an ongoing cycle of economic activity. The impact on the natural environment is reduced to the smallest possible extent. Circular economy resolves the sharp conflict between environment and development, and is the inevitable strategic choice for environmental protection in all countries in the 21st century.

In some developed countries, there have been many successful examples ranging from the practice of minimizing corporate emissions, to the exchange of waste between companies, and to the recycling of materials and energy during the consumption of products.

Germany issued the "Packaging Waste Disposal Law" and "Circular Economy and Waste Management Law" in 1991 and 1996, respectively, which stipulates that the preferred means of waste management is to avoid production, and then it will be recycled and final disposal. German law clearly stipulates that since July 1, 1995, the recycling rate of packaging materials such as glass, tinplate, aluminum, cardboard, and plastic will reach 80%. Under the influence of Germany, the EU and North American countries have successively enacted laws to encourage product recycling, green packaging, and specified specific objectives for the recovery, reuse, or recycling of packaging waste.

Japan is the country with the most comprehensive circular economy legislation in developed countries. The goal of legislation is to establish a “circular society” for resources. At present, Japan has promulgated the Basic Law for Promoting the Establishment of a Recycling Society, the Law for the Effective Use of Resources, the Law for the Reuse of Household Appliances, the Law for the Reuse of Food, the Law for the Purchase of Environmental Protection Foods, and the Law for the Construction and Reuse of Products. There are seven laws such as the Container Recycling Act. In April 2001, Japan began implementing these laws. Japan will abandon the social rules of mass production, mass consumption, and mass discards, and gradually move toward a "circular society."

China has a large population, relatively poor resources, and a fragile ecological environment. It cannot afford high-intensity resource consumption and environmental pollution in the traditional economic forms in both resource stock and environmental bearing capacity. If we continue to follow the path of traditional economic development, we can only weaken our country's economic development. Establishing a socially-low-loaded social consumption system in China and taking the road of circular economy has become an inevitable choice for China.

"Garbage is misplaced resources." In today's rising circular economy, this phrase has become more and more people's consensus. In many countries, the recycling of renewable resources has become an important industry. The total value of renewable resources recovered in developed countries in the world has reached 250 billion U.S. dollars a year, and it has grown at an annual rate of 15% to 20%. 45% of steel production worldwide, 62% of copper production, 22% of aluminum production, 40% of lead production, 30% of zinc production, and 35% of paper products come from recycling of renewable resources. The use of renewable resources for production not only saves natural resources, curbs the proliferation of waste, but also consumes less energy and produces fewer pollutants than natural resources.

To achieve effective allocation of environmental resources, it is necessary to establish a green protection system, including green property rights, production, consumption, recycling, finance, taxation, and investment systems. Although China has formulated some policies and measures to encourage the comprehensive utilization of resources, there is still no law in this regard. This is very urgent.

After nearly 300 years of consumption since the industrial revolution, there are few natural resources available for human use. Mankind must seek new development paths. Circular economy is one of the most important choices. In the circular economy, people should shake hands with nature.
