Whether it is illegal to produce plastic granules in small workshops depends on whether it has been legally approved and whether it has a business license. You can't produce plastic granules without a business license, because it is illegal to disturb the market order.

Before committing a crime, it must be approved by law.

Plastic is a chemical substance, which involves environmental protection. Plastic particles will be seriously polluted during production. The production of plastic particles will cause serious damage to air, water pollution, carbon monoxide, dioxins (carcinogens) or some ink volatiles during processing. Therefore, a regular plastic granule factory can only do it through environmental assessment.

Whoever, in violation of state regulations, produces plastic granules and disturbs the market order, if the circumstances are serious, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention, and shall also, or shall only, be fined not less than one time but not more than five times the illegal income; If the circumstances are especially serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years, and shall also be fined not less than one time but not more than five times his illegal income or his property shall be confiscated.
