I. What is the background to the standards?
The state attaches great importance to the healthy development of the comprehensive utilization of hazardous wastes industry, and the General Rules for Identification Standards for Solid Wastes (GB 34330-2017) issued in 2017 clearly requires that the products produced from solid wastes should meet the requirements of "conforming to the relevant national standards or technical specifications for the emission of pollution, including the limits of hazardous substances and the limits of content of hazardous substances in the products that can be discharged to the environment in the process of production". Hazardous substance limits and limits on the content of hazardous substances in the product" and other corresponding conditions can be excluded from solid waste management (such as sales as products). However, due to the current stage of the comprehensive utilization of the product of harmful substances limit value of the standards and norms are not sound, the comprehensive utilization of hazardous waste products potential environmental risks can not be ignored. In this regard, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment launched the use of hazardous waste disposal of secondary pollution control requirements and comprehensive utilization of the process of environmental protection requirements for the development of work, the initial focus on domestic chromium-containing leather scrap, waste automobile exhaust purification catalysts, antibiotic sludge, waste organic solvents, waste salt, oily solid wastes, tungsten smelting slag, and other hazardous wastes to carry out the comprehensive utilization of pollution control technology specification research. Jiangsu Province, as a large pesticide-using province, has many types of crops, high replanting index, and large amount of pesticides, so the amount of pesticide packaging waste generated is also larger. In view of the country is carrying out the comprehensive utilization of hazardous waste pollution control technology specification research scope does not involve the comprehensive utilization of pesticide packaging waste industry, in terms of our province, the development of more standardized management requirements, the implementation of stronger pesticide packaging waste comprehensive utilization of local environmental standards is very necessary.
II. What are the characteristics of this standard?
(i) Establishment of requirements for the management of the whole process of pollution control for integrated utilization
This standard from the collection, storage, transportation, use of technology, pollution control, comprehensive utilization of product circulation and other aspects of the study, give full consideration to the feasibility of the comprehensive utilization of pesticide packaging waste in Jiangsu Province, the level of economic development and environmental protection requirements, based on national environmental protection policies and norms, adhering to the concepts of cleaner production and recycling economy, the development of a comprehensive utilization of products covering the control of pollution at the source, the removal of polluting factors The whole process of product circulation control requirements.
(ii) Implementation of differentiated environmental management based on different recycling points
Recycling points are divided into grass-roots collection points and centralized storage points, the former for pesticide users, relying on the township pesticide business outlets for pesticide packaging waste collection and temporary storage; the latter of the grass-roots collection of pesticide packaging waste recovered from the point of a unified inventory of categorization, centralized collection, packaging, reporting and registration and storage. Centralized storage points should meet the requirements of GB 18597-2023 in 6.2, the storage cycle should not exceed 1 year. Considering the group-oriented and actual conditions of grass-roots collection points, if grass-roots collection points are unable to meet the conditions of 6.2 of GB 18597-2023, they should at least meet the requirements set out in 8.3 of GB 18597-2023, and the storage cycle should not exceed 30 days.
(iii) Clarification of the "targeted utilization" of products of comprehensive utilization.style
Considering the environmental risks of the comprehensive utilization of products, this standard specifies that the comprehensive utilization of plastic pesticide packaging waste products should be used in the form of "targeted utilization", under the premise of meeting the management requirements, directly provided to the pesticide packaging production enterprises as raw materials. At the same time to avoid the comprehensive utilization of products in the ecological protection of the red line area and other areas in need of special protection, to avoid direct contact with the human body into the industry. In addition, the characteristic pollutants or harmful impurities in the comprehensive utilization products should be sampled and monitored on a regular basis in accordance with the monitoring requirements and frequency stipulated in 8.1 of HJ 1091-2020, so as to strengthen the supervision of the environmental risks of recycled products and establish an account system.
III. What is the feasibility of implementing the standards?
In August 2020, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment formulated the Measures for the Administration of Pesticide Packaging Waste Recycling and Disposal, which clarifies the responsibilities of all relevant subjects, such as pesticide producers, operators, users, and local governments, competent authorities and industry associations, in the recycling and management of pesticide packaging waste. After recent years of practice, has laid a policy and technical foundation for the implementation of this standard. After full questioning, the relevant experts believe that this standard can reflect the concerns of the industry, with strong guidance and operability. Through visits and exchanges, the relevant pesticide packaging production enterprises are willing to adopt the comprehensive utilization of products of plastic granules used as raw materials for production, can ensure the circulation of comprehensive utilization of products. Standard development process, has been open to the public for comments, and fully communicated with the relevant enterprises, the market has been expected, the relevant enterprises have begun to prepare for the utilization of facilities transformation work.
IV. What are the environmental and social benefits of the implementation of the standards?
The implementation of this standard has good environmental benefits, regulating the comprehensive utilization of pesticide packaging waste can effectively reduce the pollution of the environment, reduce the emission of pollutants in the soil, water and air, and help to protect the ecological environment, and at the same time promote the recycling of resources, reduce the dependence on primary resources, and is conducive to sustainable development. The implementation of this standard will further promote fair competition in the solid waste resource utilization industry, which is conducive to the establishment of a more fair and orderly market environment and drive the growth of the relevant industrial chain. At the same time, it will guide pesticide users to raise awareness of social responsibility, make full use of the pesticides in the packaging through cleaning and other means when dispensing and applying, reduce pesticide residues, and contribute to the subsequent resource utilization process.
