饮料瓶回到饮料瓶：rPET助力绿色循环新图景

Group 1 - The core viewpoint emphasizes the importance of plastic recycling, particularly the same-level recycling of food-contact plastics, as a significant direction for achieving high-quality green development in the context of "dual carbon" goals and green development strategies [1] - Research indicates that China's PET beverage bottle recycling rate is between 96.48% and 97.63%, which is at an advanced international level, although most recycled materials are used in non-food sectors [1] - The "same-level then down-grade" model for PET recycling has been successfully applied internationally, extending the lifecycle of PET and significantly reducing carbon emissions throughout its lifecycle [1] Group 2 - Consumer acceptance is a crucial factor for the promotion of rPET, with over 60% of consumers supporting its use in food packaging, and a willingness to pay more when aware of its benefits in energy saving and resource recycling [2] - The approval of recycled aluminum and steel cans for food contact materials by the National Health Commission in August 2024, along with the establishment of relevant standards, provides a regulatory foundation for the safety assessment and supervision of recycled materials in the food contact sector [2] - Ongoing research into quality control standards and supervision management norms for food-grade recycled plastics is underway, which will guide the production and application of these materials [2]
