Limited production in Xinjiang use 0.008 mm ultra-thin film mulching mulch | |-pollution _ news

Beijing, Urumqi December 8 electric (Geng Dandan) December 8, reporter from Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region quality technology supervision Council was informed that, Xinjiang released film new standard, that polyethylene blow plastic agricultural ground covered film place standard, provides Xinjiang agricultural film thickness only select national standards in the is and Xinjiang climate features and agricultural production of type, limit has thickness is less than (or is equal to) 0.008 mm of agricultural film in Xinjiang production, and sales and using.

As a big agricultural province, Xinjiang, Agriculture occupies a pivotal position in the national economy as a whole, early 80 's of the last century, techniques of film mulching on cotton production in Xinjiang since the application has played an extremely important role, history of agricultural production in Xinjiang is known as the "white revolution". By 2014, the mulch in Xinjiang and gradually throughout the more than 20 kinds of agricultural crops such as corn, sugar beets, tomatoes, covered area has reached 47 million acres or so, years using film-total 185,000 tons, accounted for more than 75% of the total sown area of crops in Xinjiang, become mulch popularized the largest provinces.

Mulch has greatly promoted agricultural production in Xinjiang continued high and stable yields and bring about significant economic benefits at the same time, of the use of plastic film "white pollution" has also become increasingly serious. According to the survey, most parts of Xinjiang soil residues increased topsoil mulch film, in cotton-producing regions of which plastic film residue 16.88 kg/MU, is 4-5 times the national average. The main reason, was for many years the farmers in order to reduce the heavy use of 0.008 mm ultra thin film production costs, these ultra thin film aging fast, easily broken, difficult to recycle and other factors, resulting in waste plastic film recovery is less than 10%.

So, this times agricultural film standard amendment is to "can recycling" for target, main content is will 2010 released implementation of "recommended sex" place standard to 2014 years of "mandatory" place standard, and Yu December 1 up implementation, according to agricultural film using time, by thickness is divided into four a type, using time 180 days of thickness for 0.010 mm, 0.012 mm, using time 360 days of thickness for 0.014 mm, and 0.020 mm.

Bureau of quality and technical supervision of Xinjiang Xia Qing, Deputy Director, told reporters after the release of new standards for localities to step up awareness-raising and training on the new standards, conscientious implementation of new standards, and all departments concerned should actively promote the relevant legislative work, step up supervision and management, and State Bureau of quality and technical supervision will be targeted next year to carry out agricultural mulch film inspection and rectification, and ensure effective implementation of the new standards.
