A Study On The Problem Of Regional Recycling Economy In China

The study in recycling economy has, either theoretically or empirically, becoming more and more popular among people through this century.Quite unfortunately, the study and experiment on recycling economy have been too mediocre to advance into the essential economic study.Thus, the attempt to improve the regional study in recycling economy can be doubtlessly in an awkward situation. Therefore, including recycling economic theory into regional economic theory should become not only the focus of recycling economy study, but also the indication of the combination of various types of knowledge, theory, and innovation of new methods. Hence, the limitations of recycling economic theory on operating subjects, operating mechanism, and the optional practical conditions can be weakened; finally, the disappointment of excluding recycling economy from economic methodology and system can be made up., which are precisely the essential routine of this paper.Although economy is a part of natural environment, or namely, natural environment includes economy, they interact each other. Nature is the supplier of resources for economic system, study in natural environment from the resources supplier's point of view is called natural resource economics, while the study in the impacts of the flow of rubbish on the natural environments is called environmental economics. Natural resource economics is the study in human activities of exploiting and applying resources through economic principles, it mainly includes the following branches: mineral economics, forest economics, marine economics, land economics, energy economics, water economics, agricultural economics, renewable resources and nonrenewable resources are two basic concepts in the field of natural resources economics. That the effects in the biological or ecological process are depending both the quantities and qualities of the renewable resources available in the future is the focus of sustainability. And it is from that did we approach the idea of sustainable development.What sustainable development claims is that resources should be used effectively, economically, harmless to the environment, and with coordination between the development of society. The realization of regional recycling economy can be of crucial importance in the progression of a country's economy, society and policy.Yet recycling economy intends to organize economic activities into a circular stream of"nature resources-products and goods-recyclable resources", in which all resources can be used effectively in the circle of economy, and thus brings the impacts on natural environment to a minimum.The essential part of recycling economy is to save and use combined resources, aiming on increasing environmental economic efficiency, purposing on realizing sustainable development of human society.Two of the basic principles of economics are the scarcity of resources and how to distribute the available resources effectively.Including recycling economy into regional economic study and thus build up a practical platform can be of great value.The overwhelming majority of the authorities have come to a common ground that, in the progress of realizing the operating subject and mechanism of recycling economy, we should simultaneously integrate the regional resources, expanding higher levels of recycling economy, and hence build up the foundation for social recycling economy.Empirical study have also provided evidence for the confidence of this argument, only under regional platform can recycling economy be effective.In order to realize sustainable economic development, regional platform should be taken within all sorts of resources included in the economic system, purposing basically on maximizing the use of resources and minimizing pollutant emission, rephrasing economic development through recycling, thus to improve circular usage and substitution of resources, bring coordination between economic development and natural environment, make progress in both economic and social effects, and finally reach the goal of ecological and environmental economic growth.In fact, regional economy and recycling economy are both practical science, they are radically familiar with each other, either theoretical or practical.Regional methods can be the optional choice for developing recycling economy.Hence, regional recycling economy should be included in economic study, and become one of its essential sub-system.Regional recycling economy is built up on the basis of regional economy or regional development, it cannot run out of the regulation of regional development but should keep coordination between them; regional recycling economy should also take the demands of regional development and the circulation of ecology into account, and at the same time obey the streaming routine of natural resources and energy, thus to help constructing regional industry and enhance the circulation of physical resources.It is thus evident that the application of recycling economy in regional economy would doubtlessly bring resources-saving effects in the whole region, enlarge the efficiency of resource usage and economy, intensify the communication and alleviate the conflicts among regions, and at last maintain the optional condition of the environment in which human creatures rely on.The two basic characters of regional recycling industry, embedded ness and supplementary, can arouse beneficial effects of enlarge the social capital, and improve the founding of intensive development, while at last achieve higher levels of industrial growth.Also, we have to aim on intensive development and lower cost with more effective use of resources by recycling project.Some issues are difficult to be solved on the platform of company, community, or city, it is more efficient to put it on to the regional platform.Although it may take advantages for a single firm, it is not quite so reasonable for the distribution of all resources as a whole , and especially diseconomy from the stand point of recycling economy.Only by distributing the available resources regionally can we achieve economies of scale and maximize the use of available resources which would lead to higher efficiency, and thus be reasonable and enhance the development of economy.China is both a resource-expending and resource-dissipating country, the efficiency of resource usage in only one thirds of those developed countries.Along with the increasing level of economic development, some serious social problems such as resource dissipating and pollution distinct. It is perhaps the case that the problem of recycling and environment protecting were not so evidently solved in a single city, because the failure in extending to larger areas would deprive it off sustaining. Some of the recycling economic projects are huge, the attempt to solve it within a single city or industrial would certainly be unsuccessful, it is necessary to solve them by regional approach.Only by coordination among the whole region or even the whole society can we achieve the goal.Recycling economy is the ecological economy built up on the basis of markets, thus it should rely on a complete legal system to insure its auto-operation and its coordination between environments and society.Therefore, it takes various methods to study recycling economy, it take into account not only the mainstream of economic methods, but also the methods of regional economy, resource economy, ecological economy, environmental economy, and industrial economy.These result in problems on evaluating microeconomic acknowledgement, industry aggregation, model selection, mechanism innovation, government interference and any combinations of them all.Consequently, this paper formed out a multi-level system of recycling economic theory. The innovation is the breakthrough of combining essential economic theory with the cross-study economic theory, which includes the inheritance and innovation of analysis methods, mechanisms, industrial structures, evaluation approaches and microeconomic theories.
