Want to make a fortune? 9 years of a Guangzhou trash can manufacturer
Guide: The business of the trash can “falls from the sky”,
so that Hou Jin, who has been engaged in the field of garbage sorting
containers for nearly ten years feel the envy of his side. But in fact, Hou
Jin is clear that the relationship between the red-hot business and his trash
may not be too great.
Starting from Shanghai, the garbage classification boom that
has blown across the country has suddenly pushed the trash can manufacturers to
the vent.
But this is not the first time that Hou Jin has experienced
this so-called vent.
Around 2010, Guangzhou was the first batch of pilot cities
to promote the classification of domestic waste. This national movement seemed
to be huge at the time. Hou Jin and his team rented a factory to produce and
went into the community to do propaganda. The trash can business was done from
that time.
Two years later, the controversy caused by the
classification of garbage in transportation and processing gradually emerged,
and the overall concern of the society for garbage classification was gradually
reduced. With Hou Jin, the same batch of entrepreneurial companies started to
do business, and when they closed their doors and returned to their hometowns,
the feng shui disappeared silently.
In July 2019, after 9 years, the garbage classification was
once again in Shanghai, and it quickly spread to the whole country. Hou Jin
described this feeling as an outbreak. "We will expect this line, but I
didn't expect it to be so sudden."
First, Shanghai has blown the "familiar" wind
Since the official implementation of the Shanghai Municipal
Waste Management Regulations on July 1, plastic trash cans have suddenly become
scarce, and manufacturers in Zhejiang have started working overtime for orders
from Shanghai.
At about 5:30 pm on July 18, in a plastic trash can shop in
Guangzhou Nantian Market, Feng Ling (a pseudonym) had just explained to the
guests who ordered the order that it would take another week. After hanging up
the phone, Feng Ling’s mood was not very good, and she muttered a few words in
her mouth.
“The factory is working overtime in Zhejiang, and now it is
sent to Shanghai.” Feng Ling told reporters that there is no large-volume
purchase in Guangzhou, but the orders of some enterprises have increased
recently, and this year is expected to increase by two. To the amount of 30%.
The business of the trash can "falls from the
sky", so that Hou Jin, who has been engaged in the field of garbage
sorting containers for nearly ten years feels the envy of his side. But in
fact, Hou Jin is clear that the relationship between the red-hot business and
his trash may not be too great.
Hou Jin told the Economic Observer that the current national
plastic waste container manufacturers are mainly concentrated in Jiangsu and
Zhejiang provinces and sold to the whole country. The manufacturers in
Guangzhou mainly makes medium and high-end metal garbage containers, which are
generally placed in airports, highways, hospitals, etc. Some large public
places. Among them, metal garbage containers account for about 30% of the
entire garbage container market, while Guangdong manufacturers account for
about 30% of the metal waste container market. "From the current point of
view, we will not be affected too much. The demand in Guangdong may only have
an outbreak in the next year."
The signal from the hot sale of the trash can to Hou Jin is
that the era of garbage classification is coming again. This reminds him of the
garbage classification boom in Guangzhou and Shenzhen about 9 years ago.
"It can be sold and sold, harmful, and wet." This classification
the principle was deeply imprinted into Hou Jin’s mind.
According to the official website of the Guangzhou
Eco-Environment Bureau, in January 2010, Guangzhou once proposed that the city
the center should strive to achieve the classification, collection, classification,
transportation, and classification of waste in 2011, and to make the whole
society garbage classification awareness rate by 2012. More than 95%, the
the citizen participation rate is more than 90%, and in about 10 years, the city's
citywide establishment of a comprehensive domestic garbage classification
operation, processing management system.
According to Hou Jin, at that time, a large number of
startup companies were cultivated in the process of garbage collection,
transportation, and processing. The predecessor of Hou Jin's Guangzhou Max
Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Max
Environmental Protection”) was established at this time, belonging to the
container field in the collection process and the initial product is also a
plastic trash can. “Because of the initial goal of achieving the classification at
the lowest cost, plastic buckets for homes and communities have created
explosive demand, similar to what is happening in Shanghai today.”
During this period, Yang Jingshan's Guangzhou Classification
Link Management Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Classified Company”) has
begun to participate in the pilot project of waste sorting in Donghu Street,
Yuexiu District, Guangzhou. According to data from the Guangzhou
Eco-environment Bureau, in 2010, Donghu Street was the most popular street in
Guangzhou, with more than 6,000 households participating in garbage sorting.
Yang Jingshan told the Economic Observer that his company
was responsible for collecting the garbage from the garbage recycling bins
downstairs, and then transporting the garbage as a “resource” to the next stop.
In this link, the government will provide corresponding subsidies, but it has
not formed a sound system. Yang Jingshan mentioned that this problem still
exists and they are still waiting.
In March 2010, Guangzhou City officially proposed to carry
out the garbage sorting and legislative work simultaneously. Each district also
set up one-to-one contact channels such as the guidance of domestic waste
sorting business and the guidance of renewable resource recycling business.
According to the official website of the Guangzhou Municipal People's
Government, in 2011, Guangzhou issued the first national waste separation
government regulation “Interim Provisions on the Classification Management of Domestic
Wastes in Guangzhou”. This regulation was officially implemented in May of that
a year and Guangzhou garbage classification began law enforcement inspection.
In late July 2011, Guangzhou Nansha issued the first ticket
for garbage sorting. It was a property management company and residents were
fined for “not discharging domestic garbage according to regulations”. In the
following five months, Guangzhou advised individuals not to classify 1070 acts
as required, persuaded the unit 88, issued 56 rectification notices, and fined
7 cases totaling 1,250 yuan.
“At the time, it was mainly to encourage everyone to do
garbage classification, but many people felt that it was inconvenient and they
also had a resistance to fines. Usually, they caught up with a mistake, turned
and littered.” A person who had participated in the Guangzhou community waste
sorting law enforcement work Said.
Second, promote the solution of garbage disposal problems
Hou Jin said that the real vents only lasted for more than
two years, and then began to feel downhill. "Because it is all
exploration, it is only after the implementation of the link that we find that
there are many problems." Yang Jingshan also expressed similar views.
Around 2013, some practices of garbage sorting caused controversy at the time.
A member of the CPPCC in Guangzhou told the Observer of
Economic Observer that the garbage in Guangzhou has been mixed for a long time.
Even if the residents sort out the garbage, the sanitation department would
have dumped them all back. He pointed out that garbage mixing and mixed
transportation reflected that the garbage disposal in the latter half of the
the chain was missing at the time and the construction of waste incineration
plants and landfills were also controversial. On the official platforms of many
governments in Guangzhou, it is still possible to see that some NPC deputies
and relevant officials of the Urban Management Committee pointed out this
incident and bluntly said that these "contusions of garbage classification
enthusiasm."
In 2015, the “Regulations on the Management of Domestic
Wastes in Guangzhou” was promulgated and implemented. On July 1, 2018,
Guangzhou officially began to implement the “Regulations on the Management of
Domestic Wastes in Guangzhou”. The advancement of legislative work and the
issue of waste disposal are also constantly mentioned in government reports.
In the government work report of Guangzhou from 2012 to
2019, the reporter noticed that the garbage sorting treatment is almost the
content that will be mentioned every year in the garbage sorting work, and it
accounts for the main proportion. According to the 2019 government work report
of Guangzhou City, it will promote the mandatory classification and expansion
of waste, complete the commissioning of five resource thermal power plants,
complete the second phase of Xingfeng Emergency Landfill and the Liking and
Fushan Biomass Comprehensive Treatment Plant; Construction of the seventh
resource thermal power plant phase II and strategic reserve landfill.
According to the data of Guangzhou Urban Management
Committee, as of July 15, Guangzhou has built a domestic garbage terminal
facility with a daily incineration capacity of 15.54 million tons, a
biochemical daily processing capacity of 2,658 tons, and daily recycling
the capacity of 7,550 tons... From July 2018 to June 2019, Guangzhou City
Management Law Enforcement Department issued a total of 2425 rectification
notices, 205 administrative penalties, and a fine of 86,800 yuan. Guangzhou
said that it has the basic conditions for garbage sorting, classified
collection, classified transportation, and classified processing.
Since July, when the garbage classification boom in Shanghai
has blown, Guangzhou, which was the first batch of pilot waste sorting in the
country and introduced the first national waste sorting government regulations,
quickly responded. Hou Jin said that he believes that Guangzhou will not be
slower than Shanghai, and will even surpass it soon. "I feel that the
scale of this time is bigger than the last time. From the current public
documents of the government, it is from the difficult point that was not solved
last time."
The difficulty mentioned by Hou Jin refers to the
requirements of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of the
“Notice on the Comprehensive Implementation of Domestic Waste Classification in
Cities at the National Level and Above”. By the end of 2020, Guangzhou should
comprehensively carry out the work of the classification of domestic waste. And
built a garbage sorting system.
This east wind made Hou Jin and Yang Jingshan feel awkward.
On July 4th, the Guangdong Provincial Department of Transportation proposed to
ensure that the “junk classification” of 194 highway service areas in the
the province will be completed by the end of August 2019. The garbage sorting
container equipment in large public places is a strong product of Houjin
The company and he is preparing for this.
On the evening of July 18, Yang Jingshan told reporters on
the phone that he was going to prepare to "attack" Shanghai. In
mid-May, he received a government official from Shanghai to investigate the
waste sorting pilot in Guangzhou, which is a signal for him. He believes that
the classification has achieved good results in the pilot work of community
waste sorting in Guangzhou. Now he is ready to expand his business to Shanghai
and even the whole country with the help of Dongfeng.
