Do you want to replace your gasoline car with a new energy vehicle? Do you want to replace your old home appliances with brand new smart appliances? Do you want to renovate your old house?
Recently, a series of official statements on the trade-in of consumer goods have attracted widespread attention.
How to exchange the old for the new? What are the discounts? And is it convenient? The Ministry of Commerce and other 14 departments recently issued the "Action Plan for Promoting the Trade-in of Consumer Goods" to give the answer, clearly promoting the replacement of automobiles for "energy", household appliances for "intelligence", and home decoration and kitchen and bathroom "renewal".

"Real money" offers
-- Financial support, subsidies and preferential treatment
To encourage everyone to trade in the old for the new, it is inevitable to send "coupons".
At the previous regular policy briefing of the State Council, Zhao Chenxin, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, has made it clear that the central investment and central financial funds must have financial support for large-scale equipment renewal and consumer goods trade-in, and the support will be strong.
The public "Action Plan" once again proposes to ensure that the "real money" discount reaches consumers.
The reporter noted that these "real money" preferences involve financial support, subsidies, and concessions. The Action Plan states:
The central government and local governments will work together to arrange funds to support the scrapping and renewal of automobiles, and encourage qualified localities to support the replacement and renewal of automobiles.
Encourage qualified localities to subsidize consumers to purchase green smart home appliances.
Set up a special area for online and offline home appliances to trade in old and new ones, and give preferential treatment to consumers who exchange old home appliances for energy-saving home appliances.
Encourage qualified areas to support residents to carry out local renovation and age-appropriate renovation of old houses, kitchens and bathrooms, and give subsidies for the purchase of smart home products.

It's easier to trade in your old for a new one
——"Door-to-door car collection", "Internet + door-to-door recycling", "Home improvement convenience service point"
In addition to taking out "real money", the "Action Plan" also worked on the convenience of residents to trade in the old for the new.
For example, in terms of promoting the replacement of cars for "energy", the "Action Plan" proposes to facilitate the delivery of cars by car owners and promote the door-to-door car collection service model.
In terms of promoting the replacement of household appliances with "intelligence", the "Action Plan" proposes to include the recycling outlets of renewable resources such as waste household appliances into the "small repairs and small repairs" convenience map, encourage qualified communities to set up temporary storage places for waste household appliances, and develop new models such as "Internet + door-to-door recycling" and "car instead of garage".
In terms of promoting the "renewal" of home decoration, kitchen and bathroom, the "Action Plan" proposes to encourage streets, communities and residential communities to set up "home improvement convenience service points", provide convenience for decoration vehicles and waste material recycling vehicles to enter and exit the community, and optimize online and offline second-hand home trading services.

A new direction of "turning waste into treasure".
——Promote the branding of second-hand cars and encourage the "Internet + second-hand" model
The trade-in of consumer goods will inevitably bring waste materials. How will these obsolete products be reused?
At the previous policy briefing, Zhao Chenxin pointed out that "the so-called waste materials are 'full of treasures', and effective recycling is equivalent to opening a 'second mine'." ”
For "turning waste into treasure", the Action Plan gives a number of development directions.
For example, in view of the trade-in of old cars, the "Action Plan" proposes to promote the branding and large-scale development of second-hand cars, improve the international operation ability of second-hand car export enterprises, support their continuous expansion of overseas markets, support the standardized development of automobile modification, car rental, automobile events, RV camping, traditional classic cars and other related industries, and create a number of influential and dynamic automotive aftermarket projects, so as to promote the transformation of automobiles from transportation to living space.
For scrapped vehicles, the "Action Plan" is clear, encouraging scrapped vehicle recycling and dismantling enterprises to improve the level of high-value comprehensive utilization of resources, and extend and expand to downstream steel, non-ferrous metals, parts remanufacturing and other industrial chains, and support enterprises to become bigger and stronger.
The "Action Plan" also mentions that the pilot work of second-hand commodity circulation will be carried out to cultivate a number of leading enterprises in the circulation of second-hand commodities with convenient services and standardized and efficient. Encourage the production and circulation enterprises of electrical and electronic products to develop second-hand recycling business and expand the scale of second-hand commodity trading.
In addition, encourage the development of "Internet + second-hand", after-sales repurchase and other models. Improve the regulations on the circulation of second-hand goods, improve the relevant standards for the identification and evaluation of second-hand goods, and standardize the trading behavior of second-hand goods.
