Recently, the State Council officially issued the \"Water Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan\", putting forward 10 recommendations, including comprehensive control of pollutant emissions and efforts to conserve and protect water resources, totaling 238 measures. This pollution control plan, known in the industry as the “Ten Water Measures,” will serve as a guide for water pollution prevention and control efforts across the country in the current period and for some time to come. The recycled plastic industry is plagued by issues such as water pollution, air pollution, and noise pollution. This is mainly because most used fabrics contain dust, wood shavings, expired liquids, heavy metals, and other toxic substances; therefore, they need to be cleaned and freed of debris as a first step in the recycling process. However, most recycled plastic enterprises are small and medium-sized businesses operating on a household workshop scale; they have little to no pollution treatment equipment, or fail to use wastewater treatment systems due to high costs and complex procedures. As a result, wastewater is discharged indiscriminately, leading to the widespread problem of inadequate wastewater treatment. Almost all waste plastics need to be reused after being cleaned, crushed, and pelletized; the exhaust gases generated during this pelleting process cause severe air pollution. Furthermore, noise pollution generated by machinery during the crushing and granulation processes is also a challenge faced by recycled plastics. Pollution contribution in the recycled plastic industry: water pollution accounts for over 75%, air pollution accounts for 90%, and noise pollution accounts for around 50%.
