Three Plastic Product Eco-Standards Approved, to Take Effect March 1 Next Year
China's State Environmental Protection Administration has unveiled new environmental standards for 10 product categories. Three plastic product groups are covered: recycled plastic products, foamed plastics, and plastic doors and windows.
According to the environmental protection bureau, the Environmental Development Center of the State Environmental Protection Administration drafted the three standards to implement the Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China. The aim is to reduce the environmental and human-health impact of plastic products during consumption and use, save energy, cut pollution, lower raw material consumption, and improve resource utilization. The three standards are 'Technical Requirement for Environmental Labeling Products - Recycled Plastic Products' (HJ/T231-2006), 'Technical Requirement for Environmental Labeling Products - Foamed Plastics' (HJ/T233-2006), and 'Technical Requirement for Environmental Labeling Products - Plastic Doors and Windows' (HJ/T237-2006). They were approved on Jan 6.
Beyond a comprehensive revision of technical content inherited from the earlier standards, the new rules put greater emphasis on reducing pollutant emissions and protecting human health. They are expected to support technological progress across these three plastic product categories.
The standards take effect on March 1 next year, when the corresponding old standards will be abolished. Only products that comply with the new environmental standards may carry the environmental labeling product mark. Continuing to display the old mark will be regarded as counterfeiting. Environmental labeling products are issued to manufacturers by the relevant departments after certification under specific environmental standards, confirming that their consumption and use processes fully meet environmental protection requirements and are conducive to resource regeneration and recycling.
