If there are supportive policies, just ask the local government directly, or tax, development and reform, etc.
At the first annual leadership summit of China's renewable resources industry hosted by the China Renewable Resources Recycling Association, Gao Dongsheng, deputy director of the Energy Conservation and Comprehensive Utilization Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that in 2014, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will focus on improving Technical standards for the renewable resource recycling and utilization industry, raising the entry threshold, cultivating leading enterprises in the industry, to cope with the problems existing in my country's renewable resources industry such as small enterprise scale, low technical level and low resource and energy utilization efficiency, and maximizing the promotion of energy conservation, emission reduction and resource utilization. Efficient and high-value utilization.
Gao Dongsheng said that by raising the entry threshold and cultivating leading enterprises, it can not only improve economic benefits and industry self-discipline, but also improve the industry's energy conservation and environmental protection level.
We learned from the National Development and Reform Commission that in 2012, the total amount of eight types of renewable resources recycled in my country, including scrap steel and scrap non-ferrous metals, was about 160 million tons. Compared with directly using ore to produce these metals, it saved 170 million tons of standard coal and reduced waste water. Emissions were 11.27 billion tons, sulfur dioxide emissions were 3.746 million tons, and solid waste emissions were 3.39 billion tons. Among them, the output of recycled copper is about 2.75 million tons, accounting for 45% of my country's copper output. However, compared with developed countries such as Europe and the United States, the level of recycling and reuse of electronic product waste in my country is not high. There are thousands of companies in my country engaged in recycling waste lead-acid batteries and aviation waste, while developed countries generally have only a few or more than 10 large companies. Small businesses are limited by their small scale and low technical level. Not only are their resource utilization efficiency low, but they are also prone to secondary pollution. The state needs to take measures to promote industry standardization and healthy development.
Li Lei, deputy director of the Department of Pollution Prevention and Control of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, said that by learning from international advanced experience in using the extended producer responsibility system to deal with waste electrical and electronic products, in 2012, my country officially launched a waste electrical and electronic product disposal fund. The Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Ministry of Finance recently allocated 629 million yuan in subsidies from the fund to 39 electronic waste dismantling companies.
Looking forward to policy coverage
It is understood that my country’s urban recyclable mineral resources are currently divided into three key areas: the Bohai Rim, the Yangtze River Delta and the central region. After all 39 demonstration bases are completed, they will have an annual renewable resource gathering and processing capacity of 36 million tons. According to estimates from the China Renewable Resources Recycling Association, during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, through the development of these resources, my country is expected to save 1.155 billion tons of standard coal and reduce 720 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions. Industry experts said that the construction of urban mineral demonstration bases is an effective way to alleviate resource bottleneck constraints and reduce environmental pollution, and is of great significance to sustainable economic development. To this end, it is recommended that the country further implement policy coverage to promote the healthy development of the industry.
First of all, it is recommended that governments at all levels provide interest subsidies to companies that utilize renewable resources, and government guarantee agencies allocate corresponding loan guarantee lines to solve corporate financing problems. For technological development, major projects and industrial demonstration projects to develop circular economy, the government can provide support such as capital investment, financial subsidies, loan interest discounts and policy subsidies.
Secondly, universities and relevant scientific research institutions are encouraged to strengthen research on practical technologies for the recycling of waste resources. The comprehensive utilization of renewable resources requires the support of high and new technologies and the cooperation of multiple departments such as machinery and equipment, electronics, and chemical industry. It is recommended to encourage the establishment of an industry-university-research platform for practical technology research on the recycling of waste resources. Better serve the circular economy.
Furthermore, governments at all levels give priority to the use of recycled resources in finished products on the basis of the same quality and price in the government procurement process. In addition, there is a large accumulation of electronic waste from state agencies and enterprises and institutions. The write-off procedures should be simplified and handed over to renewable resource utilization enterprises for processing as soon as possible to alleviate the contradiction of raw material shortage of these enterprises.
Finally, improve the tax system for the recycling of renewable resources and provide more preferential tax policies; introduce preferential tax policies for industries such as recycled aluminum, recycled copper, and scrap cars, expand the scope of the industry, and effectively promote recycling Development of resource recycling industry. In addition, local governments can grant local tax exemptions and reductions to the renewable resource recycling industry and refund the local retained portion of value-added tax and corporate income tax.
