Waste paper is one of the important raw materials in China's paper industry. Nearly 70% of the paper in China comes from waste paper, and the amount of imported waste paper over the years accounts for 1/3 of the total amount of waste paper in China. Since the publication of the Notice on Promulgating the Implementation Plan for the Reform of the Prohibition of the Importation of Foreign Garbage and the Promotion of the Import Management System of Solid Waste in July 2017, China has successively promulgated a series of policies, regulations and standards to strengthen the control of imported waste and continue to strengthen the prevention and control of imported waste , Strictly combat the smuggling of foreign garbage, and strive to basically achieve zero import of solid waste by the end of 2020. Therefore, since 2018, China's waste paper imports have been greatly reduced, while domestic waste paper consumption has shown an increasing trend. It is foreseeable that domestic waste paper will become the main source of waste paper raw materials in China's paper industry in the future.

The release of the "Pilot Work Plan for the Construction of" Wasteless City "in December 2018 marked the beginning of a new stage in the reform of the solid waste management system in China. However, the author's investigation found that there is a long-term phenomenon of adulteration and fraud in the recycling process of waste paper in our country, which greatly affects the recovery quality and recycling efficiency of waste paper, and hinders the recycling of waste paper in China. It needs to be paid attention to urgently. Mainly reflected in the following two aspects:

First, some waste paper processing enterprises, especially packaging carton manufacturers, have the phenomenon of "active counterfeiting". In the name of improving the strength of the carton, the core paper layer of the packaging board is filled with cement and other unrelated heavy objects and debris, and the weight of the packaging carton is increased to seek illegal benefits. Such actions will directly affect the use value of cartons, destroy the market trading atmosphere, and damage the rights and interests of consumers. It will also lead to a significant reduction in the value of waste paper recycling. If such waste paper enters the production line of subsequent resource utilization enterprises, it will cause a loss of its production equipment and make the waste paper processing enterprises miserable. The increase in impurities such as unusable waste residues has increased the pressure on the disposal of solid waste at the back end. Incineration and landfill disposal methods have increased the impact on the atmospheric environment and land resources.

The second is that the recycling process is not standardized and the supervision is not in place, and adulteration is a frequent occurrence. The main body of waste paper recycling in China is mainly composed of scavengers, individual vendors and small recycling stations, and it is difficult to form a system for management. On the one hand, under the trend of interest, some scavengers and vendors will dope, mix water, and adulterate the recycled waste paper to increase the weight of the waste paper. This unhealthy trend has even become an unspoken rule in the industry. This is not conducive to the subsequent sorting and processing of waste paper, but also greatly affects the quality and recycling value of waste paper. On the other hand, due to the large amount of adulteration of waste paper in various links, and the lack of relevant environmental protection measures at most recycling and packaging sites in the city, irregular recycling also produces secondary pollution of wastewater and solid waste. The urban ecological environment brings adverse effects.

At present, China's waste paper classification and recycling system has not yet been established, and the tightening of imported waste paper raw materials has also caused the source of raw materials in China's waste paper industry to become tight. Under this background, if the adulteration and fraud in the process of waste paper recycling in our country is not stopped and cracked in time, it will not only affect the quality of waste paper, but also cause waste of precious waste paper resources and increase the ecological and environmental burden. It runs counter to the construction goal of "waste reduction and recycling" of China's non-waste city and hinders the construction of "waste-free city".

In order to improve the quality and efficiency of waste paper recycling and promote the benign development of China's waste paper recycling industry, the author suggests that from the whole process of waste paper processing and production, circulation and recycling, multiple departments should work together to crack down on the waste paper adulteration and fraud To promote efficient recycling of waste paper resources, "capacity increase" for resources and "decompression" for the environment.

Break the vices and work together to strengthen supervision. According to investigations, the phenomenon of adulteration of paper boxes is mostly the profit-seeking behavior of various types of non-standard small paper enterprises, waste recycling personnel, and recycling stations. Therefore, multiple departments should jointly work to strengthen supervision and increase crackdown. The market supervision and management department should start with product quality supervision and severely crack down on the counterfeiting of paper product processing enterprises. The competent commercial department should strengthen the daily supervision of various waste recycling and packaging sites, increase the cleaning and rectification of irregular recycling and packaging sites, and give priority to supporting the development of regular waste recycling enterprises. The competent department of ecology and environment should continue to promote the environmental protection inspection of the waste paper processing and utilization industry, clean up and rectify all kinds of “scattered and dirty” paper companies; it can also include urban waste recycling sites in the scope of environmental supervision, and dope with adulteration and secondary pollution Intensive inspection of problems.

Establish regulations, unify standards, and regulate recycling. The control of the recycling process is an effective guarantee to improve the quality of waste paper. It is necessary to accelerate the establishment of China's waste paper recycling industry standards and raise the industry's entry threshold. Implement the unified waste paper classification and classification standards as soon as possible, improve the waste paper classification and recycling mechanism, improve the scale and refinement level of waste paper recycling, and improve the quality of waste paper. Innovate the recycling model, promote the efficient and optimal allocation of waste paper resources, and avoid secondary pollution and ecological environment destruction during the waste paper recycling process. In conjunction with the development of the "Wasteless City" construction, for the waste paper of the source of life, on the basis of the "four classifications" of garbage, we should further promote the classification and recycling of paper such as newsprint, packaging paper, and cultural paper.

Establishing ideas, circular economy, and ideas first. In order to promote the creation of "no waste city", we should actively promote green recycling and low-carbon production and lifestyle, increase the production and use ratio of green paper products, and promote the development of resource conservation and recycling economy. Packaging paper is the main category of paper and paperboard products in China, accounting for more than 80% of China's total waste paper production. The packaging paper industry should uphold the concept of recycling and low carbon, vigorously promote green packaging, improve the recycling and recycling efficiency of packaging paper products, and take the road of sustainable development. For China's current packaging cardboard and carton product standards, we should study and increase the carton material requirements (such as multiple materials should be easy to separate), recycling performance, recyclable utilization and other indicators, to eliminate "cement carton" is not conducive to recycling Fake products appear.
