"If these waste mulch films are not cleaned up, the crops will not be able to catch the seedlings, and they will be prone to pests and diseases. However, it is picked up by the farmers themselves, and it costs 60 yuan to hire machinery for one acre of land. Now there is a good policy for plastic film recycling, which saves effort, worry and money. Luo Wangshan, a villager of Luoji Village, Guta Town, Yuyang District, sighed.
Looking in the direction of Luo Wangshan's finger, two machines are carrying out waste plastic film recycling operations in an orderly manner. Luoji Village is one of the demonstration bases of dry farming in Yuyang District, and it is also the main force in the use of agricultural film. This year, under the guidance and support of the government, the village has carried out waste plastic film recycling activities and given certain policy subsidies to farmers.
"Farmers use the high-strength thickened mulch film purchased in full by recycling service outlets, and the subsidy per mu is 56 yuan after completing the mulching planting experience. Farmers have completed the waste plastic film picking up and leaving the field, and the subsidy per mu is 40 yuan after the experience is qualified, and now the enthusiasm of our masses is very high. Luo Yanru, secretary of the Party branch of Luo Ji Village, Guta Town, Yuyang District, said.
The scientific use of plastic film is an important measure to prevent and control agricultural non-point source pollution, and it is also an effective measure to increase agricultural production and efficiency, but plastic film residues have a certain impact on agricultural production and the environment. This year, Yuyang District seized the favorable opportunity of spring ploughing production, and operated in accordance with the mechanism of "main participation, enterprise operation, territorial management, and government support", and set up a total of 9 farmland waste plastic film recycling service outlets in Qingyun, Balasu, Shangyanwan and other places, and carried out farmland waste plastic film mechanical pick-up and "old for new" services throughout the district. It not only protects the rural ecological environment, but also reduces the cost of spring plowing for farmers.
Since the recycling of farmland waste plastic film has been carried out, Shaanxi Yulin Xiechuang Resource Recycling Co., Ltd. will organize employees to carry out door-to-door services in various film towns and villages in Yuyang District on a regular basis. "After we purchased the new mulch, we notified the villagers in advance, gathered them in a place that was convenient for replacement, and replaced one kilogram of new film with one kilogram of old film by exchanging the old for the new. According to statistics, the recycling rate of waste plastic film in Yuyang District can reach more than 83%. Duan Zhijun, manager of Shaanxi Yulin Xiechuang Resource Recycling Co., Ltd., said.
After temporary storage and decay, sand and soil removal, crushing, cleaning and squeezing, these recycled waste plastic films are granulated in high-temperature furnaces, and finally transformed into building materials such as drainage pipes. From recycling to disposal, there is no secondary pollution, and at the same time, resource utilization is realized, so that "white pollution" counterattacks into "white resources".
"Through the on-site guidance of technical cadres, on-site observation and demonstration, and the distribution of publicity materials, we have publicized the scientific use and recycling technology and policy of plastic film to the main body of agricultural production and operation, large planters and farmers, and the awareness of agricultural film recycling has been continuously improved. At present, more than 20,000 acres of waste plastic film have been picked up and recycled. At the same time, we actively promote technologies such as organic fertilizer instead of chemical fertilizer, green prevention and control of pests and diseases, and comprehensive utilization of straw, forming a working situation of 'new film to increase production and income, old film to turn waste into treasure, resource recycling, and green agricultural development', and promote the coordinated green and high-quality development of agriculture and ecology in the whole region. Meng Ziliang, director of the Yuyang District Rural Revitalization Service Center, said.
