German PET Waste Bottle Recycling Becomes China's Sweater

More than 8 million PET bottles flow on the German market each year. Garbage collection companies collect these bottles, crush them or crush them into pieces, and sell them to China at a relatively high price. Chinese merchants went directly to the German waste recycling plant and paid for cash so that people would put the goods in containers the next day. “This is a real day spot transaction.” PET (polyethylene terephthalate) Bottles are ubiquitous in German supermarkets. Bottles made of PET contain Coca-Cola, mineral water, or apple soda. Before 1993, all plastic bottles were put into bins and a small part was recycled. Since the implementation of the custody fee four years ago, supermarkets must recycle empty bottles. PET bottles embark on a journey of thousands of miles: After traveling to China and becoming a synthetic woolen sweater, they return to Germany and return to China.

Sasha Shu said: "First we empty up the bottles. These empty bottles may then become adidas sweaters worn under the Christmas tree." Sasha is the general manager of the waste industry consulting company. According to his calculations, a bottle that can hold 16 liters of beverage can be made into a sweater.

China's textile industry has huge plastic demand. Although merchants will add another yard to the price of German recycling companies, imports are cheaper than producing the raw materials themselves. The cost of shipping from Hamburg to Hong Kong is very low. The reason is that there are lots of empty seats on the ship after the freighter has shipped in and discharged from China. The cost of production in China is very low, because the labor force is cheap, and the environmental and social standards are not perfect.

In Chinese factories, these PET raw materials are sorted by color and cut into pieces and melted. After processing, PET bottles are returned to Germany as textiles and sold in Germany. The value creation embodied here is immense: a synthetic tweed sweater costs between 50 and 100 euros, and the material used is only equivalent to 32 euro cents.

Far East cannot see the end of the old plastic hunger. China has been unable to meet its own needs with raw materials. In this context, second-hand raw materials like PET are worth more.

Sasha pointed out that plastic bottles are shipped to China as raw materials, which indicates that there is in fact a world market for used raw materials. Ten years ago, rubbish was dumped on the garbage dump. “At that time we were a consumer and abandoning society.” The example of Chinese processing and re-selling in Germany illustrates the problem. “This market development shows all consumers that everything I’ve collected here is It really got recycled and reused."
