Classified smart devices, inspectors, and overall gifts ... This kind of behavior, which has a huge initial investment, will continue to spend money to buy participation in the later period, no matter whether the company or the government pays the bill, how long can it last? With a huge classified population, complex management objects and heavy management tasks, where will the "Internet plus recycling" enterprises go?
question
There is a sharp increase in recycling enterprises, some of which are just to sell equipment, earn subsidies and seek financing.
According to the forecast of China Huanlian, by 20021,the market scale of garbage sorting will reach 57 billion yuan. Statistics show that in July and August of 20 19, the number of newly registered waste classification and labeling enterprises reached 1004. The business scope covers every link of four source classifications of garbage classification (recyclable, hazardous, wet garbage and dry garbage) and four system classifications (delivery, collection, transportation and treatment).
"Some of these enterprises are transformed and upgraded from renewable resource recycling enterprises, and a larger part are resumed enterprises. Some are subsidies for the government to buy services, some are to expand the market to sell equipment, some are to build platforms to realize flow realization, and some are to catch up with the spring breeze of garbage sorting ... "Zhou Wei, president of Hunan Circular Economy Research Association, said that different needs of enterprises lead to different business priorities, and the promotion effect on garbage sorting is naturally different.
In this regard, some insiders commented that enterprises rushed to the top, causing the illusion of "realizing" garbage classification. After the big waves in the market, the model of "stealing the pillars" will eventually be eliminated by the market.
muddledness
Weighing to earn rewards, waste paper wrapped in bricks and water bottles filled with water.
At the same time, there has been some confusion in public delivery.
"When we open the package, we will find bricks wrapped in paper and mineral water bottles filled with water." Wang Jie, general manager of Hunan Lv Dong Resources Recycling Co., Ltd. said that since the Little Yellow Dog Crisis, they have taken over the outsourcing business of unpacking, collecting and transporting the Little Yellow Dog. Due to the limitation of intelligent garbage collection box in garbage identification function, a few citizens will weigh it by inserting bricks in order to get more points or rewards.
"Almost every 100 single person has 10 single person stuffing foreign objects into the trash can. For the deliveryman, a brick of three or four pounds can account for two or three dollars cheaper, but for us, we need to pay the cost first, and then declare it according to the abnormal order, which takes time, energy and manpower to deal with. " Wang Jie said helplessly.
In addition, some residents lack the consciousness of garbage sorting or emptying bottles, which brings a lot of inconvenience to recyclers and makes recycling dirty and tired, which is not conducive to the development of this industry.

High cost and low profit, the "regular army" can't compete with the "guerrillas"
The low value and high treatment cost of recycled materials are a big obstacle in front of enterprises related to "Internet plus garbage classification".
According to experts' analysis, the essence of "internet plus recycling" is still to buy goods cheaply and resell them at a higher price, so whether it can be profitable depends entirely on the difference income of recycling, sorting, processing and sales. Therefore, despite the armor of the "Internet", its rules and gameplay still retain the traditional model.
However, there are still "stragglers" who can collect most of the "valuable" garbage from house to house by one person and one car, leaving the unwanted garbage to be put into intelligent recycling equipment.
"This means that the recyclables in intelligent recycling equipment will be low-value recyclables. From the market point of view, when the profit of the goods in the box can't even balance the cost of unpacking, are enterprises still willing to take the initiative to unpack? The decrease in unpacking frequency will lead to a decrease in the utilization rate of boxes, and the enthusiasm of citizens for delivery will also be affected. " Wang Jie said.
"Of course, some internet platforms have incorporated community cleaners, allowing them to collect recyclables from residents' homes with customers and weigh and settle them on the spot, but this undoubtedly increases the cost. Compared with the traditional individual waste shops or street scavengers, the enterprise operation of waste sorting will undoubtedly generate more costs, such as operation, labor, logistics, administration and taxation. , and ultimately affect the recycling price and recycling intensity. Tan Yaochun, head of Hunan Fiona Fang Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. said.
Sustainable management becomes a problem, and policies and systems are barriers.
When the entrepreneurial trend of "recycling in internet plus" swept across the country, the first batch of companies exploring "recycling in internet plus" closed down one after another, and most of them were struggling for survival. Xiaohuanggou once raised 65.438 billion yuan, registered more than 2.6 million users, spread to 33 cities across the country, and settled in 654.38+056 communities, but it was once shut down. Of the more than a dozen "Internet plus recycling" enterprises established in Changsha, three or four have stopped operating.
According to industry insiders, in order to improve the quantity and data, some enterprises raise the front-end delivery price of garbage recycling to be higher than the price sold to recycling enterprises, which means that the difference in the middle needs the enterprises to post their own money. "This kind of behavior of investing heavily in the early stage and continuing to spend money in the later stage will not last long, neither the employer nor the government, let alone operators with small-scale Internet companies as the main body."
In addition, garbage classification involves four links: classified delivery, classified collection, classified transportation and classified treatment. There is a larger industrial chain behind it, involving a large number of sanitation departments, sanitation enterprises, operation cleaning teams and scavengers.
"In Changsha, the urban management and sanitation department is responsible for garbage sorting, the Bureau of Commerce is responsible for recyclables, and harmful waste is another department." Tan Yaochun said that the classification of garbage involves a huge number of people, complex management objects and heavy management tasks. These problems cannot be solved by an enterprise or an organization.
Zhou Wei said that how to further strengthen policy support, improve the recycling system of renewable resources from the aspects of improving the source recycling network, strengthening resource sorting and utilization, accelerating industry transformation and upgrading, and popularizing advanced recycling models, especially in the construction of recycling outlets and sorting centers, are all issues that need to be considered.

Cross-border entrepreneurs: ready to re-enter
In Changsha, enterprises engaged in "Internet plus recycling", such as D-drop recycling, small tricycles and Little Brown Bear House, have adopted the mode of urban agency to spread the market, attracting many local entrepreneurs to join as urban agents, but many entrepreneurs have been engaged in other industries before and do not know about the waste recycling industry.
"Cross-border' Internet plus recycling', the road to making money is very difficult, and many things have to be explored by themselves." Ding Yang was engaged in catering industry before Qing Dynasty. In June this year, he became the agent of D-drop recycling in Changsha, responsible for the business operation in Changsha.
"Because I don't understand the waste industry at all, I can only collect some conventional recyclables such as paper and plastic at first, and the profit is very low. Every city has different packaging stations and delivery channels, so it is difficult for the platform to help us get the right resources, and we need to accumulate them slowly. The labor cost in the early stage was very high, and the company lost money in the first two months, which was very stressful. " Qing Ding Yang said that later, metals and waste electrical appliances were also included in the recycling, but due to the lack of professional knowledge, the recycling brother could not accurately identify the recycled materials and encountered great difficulties.
Take stainless steel as an example, there are 20 1, 202, 402 and so on, and the prices range from 1 yuan to 20 yuan. Another example is copper, which is divided into white copper, brass, red copper and so on. Prices vary greatly, and there have been several cases where you bought cheap ones at high prices and lost a lot of money. Some used household appliances have also encountered routine recycling, such as the core components being removed or replaced, and only a worthless shell is received.
"Later, the company strengthened training, supplemented professional knowledge, and docked with packaging stations and delivery channels before slowly turning losses." In Qing Ding Yang's view, "Internet plus recycling" is not an industry to make quick money, and entrepreneurs must make a good knowledge reserve before entering the market.
