Analysis of solid waste generation nodes and environmental management in the synthetic resin industry

The amendments of Law of the People’s Republic of China on Prevention of Environmental Pollution Caused by Solid Wastewas implemented on Sep. 1 2020, in which enterpriseself-management in the management of industrial solid waste was strengthened and requirements of overall process management were put forward. Synthetic resin industry in China occupies an important position in the industrial circle. The production enterprises are mainly large petrochemical enterprises, which have the ability and responsibility to scientifically manage solid waste and realize the harmless, reduction and resource utilization of solid waste. The production process and node characteristics of polyethylene, polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride in synthetic resin industry were introduced. The generating nodes, waste attributes and management measures of solid waste were elaborated in detail, the generated solid wastewere classified and ordered, the treatment measures of the solid waste in enterprise were summarized, and suggestions for the present status of solid waste generation in synthetic resin industry were proposed, so as to provide scientific basis for the environmental management of hazardous waste and dynamic revision of National Hazardous Waste List in China,and to provide guidance for the self-management of enterprises.
