《再生纸浆》国家标准计划修订 专家呼吁坚决防范环境风险

Core Viewpoint - The revision of the national standard for recycled pulp is aimed at regulating the import of recycled pulp and preventing environmental risks, with a focus on ensuring ecological safety and public health [1][2]. Group 1: Regulatory Developments - The National Market Supervision Administration has initiated a public consultation for the national standard project on recycled pulp, emphasizing the need for strict regulation of imported recycled pulp [1]. - A joint announcement by six government departments outlines that imported recycled pulp must be made from classified recycled paper and must meet the GB/T43393 national standard [1][2]. - The GB/T43393-2023 standard is set to be implemented on November 27, 2023, in response to the solid waste import ban that took effect on January 1, 2021 [1][2]. Group 2: Industry Concerns - Since the implementation of the waste paper import ban, there have been multiple cases of solid waste being imported under the guise of recycled pulp, leading to re-exportation [2]. - Experts have raised concerns about the "dry method" of producing recycled pulp, which fails to adequately remove harmful substances, leading to potential contamination [2]. - The current national standard lacks mandatory constraints and does not specify limits for biological safety and bacterial content in imported products [3]. Group 3: Recommendations and Future Outlook - Experts suggest that the revised national standard should clearly differentiate between "dry" and "wet" production methods and impose stricter quality requirements for inferior pulp imports [3]. - The industry is encouraged to support the import of compliant pulp and expand domestic pulping capacity to alleviate the current raw material shortages [3]. - Establishing a compliant and efficient import supply chain is essential for enhancing the competitiveness of the paper industry in terms of sustainability and hygiene [3].
