"I did not expect that the empty water bottle can still change water. In the future, we will bring back the empty water bottle back." Recently, Wang Youhai, "Boss Boss" of Jiaojiang District, Taizhou City, came to the Pier and used 296 empty mineral water bottles collected on the fishing boat. In exchange for 148 bottles of mineral water. Fishermen often use mineral water as a source of freshwater, and drink dozens of tanks of water out of the sea at one time.

Since this year, as a provincial pilot, Taizhou City has explored the implementation of the "blue cycle" project led by the government, corporate -led, and public linkage, and through the "land defense, gate, beach, ship collection" through the "blue cycle" project, Perform source control, use market -oriented methods to carry out high -value utilization, and crack pain points such as difficulty in collecting marine plastic waste collection, difficulty in using, and difficult governance. Recently, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment praised this approach at a press conference.

"We apply blockchain technology to trace the entire process of collecting marine plastic waste. At the same time, relying on the developed molding industry in Taizhou, recyclable plastic waste will be used to produce environmentally friendly products such as mobile phone cases and beverage bottles. Hong Yan, a staff member of the peppers of Taizhou Ecological and Environment, said that next, it will further realize the high value premium of marine plastic waste through marine plastic carbon index, carbon label, carbon footprint certification, traceability, and transaction.

In addition, Taizhou also set up an initial "Ecological Common Rich Fund" 3 million yuan to pay basic insurance for low -income collectors to pay social insurance; equipped with "blue cloud warehouse" equipment on the shore of the dock for plastic reducing and reduction, improved collection and collection Personnel work efficiency. At the same time, the "Little Lan House" is promoted in the city. In addition to the marine plastic garbage collected by fishing boats, it can also provide services such as low -interest loans, fishing materials, emergency items, etc., and improve fishermen to actively collect and recover various types of marine waste Entality.
