The Development Of Recycling Economy And Chinese Industrial Restructuring

After the two industrial revolutions, the technical level was highly enhanced and productivity was greatly liberated. Industrialization has brought economic growth, but also brought the crisis. Because of a scarcity of resources, when the resources inputting in the production came to a limit, the traditional produce mode of achieving economic growth by inputting additional resources could not be maintained, and the consequences of environmental pollution caused by emissions of industrial waste also plagued many countries. Recycling economic thinking was developed in this context. In the 1960's, after Poulding, an American economist, put forward his "Spaceship Theory", the recycling economic theory was gradually developed, which attracted worldwide attention and was seen as the best way to solve the problems faced.Recycling economy comes from ecological economy. The basic principle is reduction, reuse and recycle. Among them, reduction is the primary principle. This principle requires reduction of resource inputting in the production at the beginning of production, reduction of waste emissions at the end of production, and transforming the waste into renewable resources. However, the reduction principle does not imply reducing the size of production or reducing the output, but to enhance the efficiency of resource use, to create the largest output with the least resources. The recycling economy is gradually applied to the broad area besides the economics. Because the recycling economic system is a large integrated system, which includes several subsystem on different levels, such as the social system, the resources system, the environment system, the economic system and so on.
