打通“以旧换新”与循环经济，把“生意”变成“生态”丨两会好声音

Core Viewpoint - The implementation of large-scale equipment updates and consumer goods trade-in policies is an effective measure to expand domestic demand and build a strong domestic market, supported by a series of initiatives from national departments to promote recycling and circular economy [1] Group 1: Policy Implementation and Effects - Since 2024, the provincial government has introduced trade-in subsidy policies for three consecutive years, significantly boosting consumption effects. However, the marginal effect of these policies is decreasing due to the low replacement frequency of major consumer goods like home appliances and automobiles [2] - The current trade-in subsidy policies in Sichuan, effective from January 1, 2026, have limitations, including a narrow range of covered products and subsidy recipients, as well as restrictions on cross-regional sales for enterprises [4] Group 2: Recommendations for Policy Optimization - It is suggested to optimize the trade-in policy in Sichuan to include more consumer goods with local industrial advantages and potential, such as home appliances and light green vehicles, to enhance the competitiveness of "Sichuan-made" products [5] - Expanding the subsidy coverage to include home appliances and home decoration products sold nationwide, and establishing a cross-regional subsidy mechanism could help improve the competitiveness of "Sichuan" products [6] Group 3: Challenges in Recycling Industry - The new round of large-scale equipment updates and trade-in policies will lead to a rapid increase in recycling demand, posing challenges to the existing recycling industry in Sichuan, which currently operates in a fragmented and inefficient manner [7] - Many recycling stations operate under traditional models with low efficiency, leading to resource waste, and the existing recycling enterprises primarily focus on low-value processes rather than high-value recovery of complex products [7] Group 4: Suggestions for Enhancing Recycling Capabilities - A unified, digital, and standardized modern recycling network is recommended to improve tracking and management of recycling processes, with incentives for existing stations to upgrade [9] - Focusing on high-value utilization projects, such as the recycling of end-of-life vehicles and electronic waste, and establishing regional recycling bases could enhance the overall recycling and re-manufacturing capabilities [9]
