73,000 tons of smuggled waste plastic flow to small workshops

Through illegal acquisitions, acquisitions, and false leads, 122 solid-state waste import licenses were obtained from 122 production-oriented enterprises in 15 provinces and municipalities. Imported waste plastics were declared in the name of the licensee and then resold to 93 homes. Apply for a license qualification company. This TV drama has a realistic version.

Over the past few years, relying on this “steal the way”, Ningbo International Trade Co., Ltd. has smuggled 73,000 tons of waste plastics and illegally profits from it. The total amount involved was 334 million yuan.

The case of Zhejiang's largest smuggling of solid wastes seized by the Hangzhou Customs was heard yesterday in Shaoxing Intermediate People’s Court.

The story begins with the 10,000 tons of waste plastics "failed to start flying."

In July 2008, the Customs of Shaoxing, which was under the jurisdiction of Hangzhou Customs, found a strange phenomenon during the company's investigation: Xinchang Packaging Co., Ltd. applied for the import license of solid waste from the environmental protection department several times between 2005 and 2007 and declared it from Ningbo. About 13,500 tons of waste plastics were imported. However, in the packaging company's factory area, customs and customs officials did not see a small amount of waste plastic.

Is it that tens of thousands of tons of waste plastic are missing? If it goes to companies that do not have production capacity, it may cause environmental pollution and it may also harm consumers.

After careful and meticulous arrangement, the eyes of the Customs officials and the staff focused on the general manager of the company, Yang. Yang has long been engaged in the plastics processing industry and has business contacts with a number of plastics processing companies inside and outside the province. Shun Tengguagua, the real behind-the-scenes predators - Ningbo International Trade Co., Ltd. also surfaced. Originally, the two companies jointly planned that the solid waste import license applied for in the name of Xinchang Packaging Co., Ltd. was resold by Yang and sold to Ningbo International Trade Co., Ltd.

This is a huge smuggling trade network. Since last year, Hangzhou Customs has established more than 70 investigation teams, dispatched more than 400 people and moved to more than 100,000 kilometers. It has turned to more than 500 companies in 19 provinces and cities across the country to conduct investigations and collect evidence, covering the major rivers north and south. After seven months of investigation, the case was successfully cracked.

According to the investigation, in order to absorb illegal profits, an international trading company in Ningbo, together with Ningbo International Transport Agency Co., Ltd., under the organization of the heads of the respective companies Wang Mou and Zhou Mou, “smacked posts” through acquisitions, acquisitions, and frauds. , from which it profited illegally.

Waste plastics belong to the state to restrict imported goods. According to the relevant regulations of the environmental protection department, the use units must have the qualification for importing solid wastes. In this case, most of the households that purchase waste plastics are private companies. Some of them are still handicraft workshops. They are not only unqualified, they are poorly equipped, they are technologically backward, waste processing and pollution control capabilities are weak, and some of them are simply processed and reselled. Inflow into the market will cause serious environmental pollution and may also harm consumers.
