INTRODUCTION
Study Goals and Objectives
As an important part of China' s national sustainable development strategy,
development of a recycling industry is effectively relieving China' s problem
of a resource shortage, and effectively relieving the pressure on China' s
environment carrying capability. The state has put the recycling industry high
on its development agenda for the next decade. China is drafting its first law
on creating a so-called "circular economy" to provide a legal framework for
its national sustainable development strategy. The recycling industry is in a
key position to grow and benefit from this legal framework.
With more than 1.3 billion people and steady economic growth, China has become
one of the fastest growing recycling markets in the world.
BCC' s goal in conducting this study was to provide a comprehensive analysis of
the current status of China' s recycling market and assess its growth potential
over the 5-year period from 2008 to 2013.
This BCC report will be of interest to all players in the recycling industry,
traders, investors, and other market stakeholders. In terms of volume, China
represents the largest potential recycling capacity in the world.
The segments covered in this report are those listed below:
- Aluminum
- Copper
- Iron and steel
- Strategic
- Paper
- Plastic
- E-waste
- Tires
Scope of report
This study is organized into six sections. Following the introduction, an
executive summary provides the market forecast for China' s recycling industry
through 2013. An industry overview in the next section provides definitions
and important regulations for China' s recycling industry. The ensuing section,
Market by Products, covers the major segments of the industry: metal recycling
(including aluminum, copper, iron, steel, and strategic metals), paper
recycling, plastic recycling, e-waste recycling, and tire recycling. Each
segment presents an analysis of the Chinese market, including an introduction
and definitions, market dynamics, market share, and company profiles.
In the section on the international aspects of recycling, a discussion of
imports and exports of aluminum scrap, copper scrap, iron and steel scrap,
waste paper, and waste plastics is presented.
The last section, Technology, provides an analysis of major applications and
major patents.
