The hottest recycling standard for waste cardboard

American recycling standard for waste cardboard and cartons

people who have been to the United States should know that in every city in the United States, there are many large special trucks collecting yellow paper bags along the street every morning, and the yellow paper bags contain waste paper products. It should be said that the management departments of every state and city in the United States are trying to establish many rules for the recovery of the international market and create more convenient conditions to facilitate the recycling and reuse of waste paper products. Therefore, the United States has become one of the countries with the largest export of waste paper in the world. It is reported that in 1995, the recycling of waste paper in the United States reached 36million tons, of which more than 10 million tons were exported to Asia and Europe, accounting for almost one third of its total waste paper exports. According to more information, the recycling of waste paper products in the United States in 1998 was close to 100 million tons, and it is reported that by the end of the 20th century, the recycling rate of waste paper products in the United States had risen to more than 50%; The federal government has clearly put forward opinions, requiring the promotion of the use of recycled paper throughout the country, so as to promote the recycling and utilization of waste resources, and achieve the dual purposes of environmental protection and conservation. Although the United States currently has no strict and comprehensive packaging laws similar to those of the European Community countries, as a major industrial country in the world, the United States promulgated the mil-hdbk742 standard for the disposal of military packaging materials as early as 1973, and later formulated the law on resource protection and recycling, which is the upgrading and utilization of material testing machines, in the early 1990s.
