环境部11月4日消息，新西兰人对处理废旧轮胎和大型电池的计划征求了意见。政府正在采取下一步措施，更好地管理废旧轮胎和大型电池，并邀请新西兰人有积极发言。
环境部长大卫·帕克说：”我们的计划将让制造商、销售商和用户负责确保旧轮胎和大电池不会最终被填埋或环境。该计划建议在购买时收取产品管理费，以涵盖产品寿命结束时的收集和回收。受监管的产品管理计划将支持向低碳循环经济转变，从而帮助确保为子孙后代留下更可持续的遗产。
他们将：确保轮胎和大型电池的所有生产商、进口商和零售商在计划中发挥作用。要求计划提供废物收集，以鼓励再利用和更新。处理废旧轮胎已经有成本，但运行不正常。这项费用将取代供应商在更换轮胎时经常收取的无效和不一致的费用”。
大卫帕克说:”每年约有650万条轮胎进口到新西兰。当它们达到生命终点时，只有30%用于出口、回收或用于其他目的，如农场上的青贮重量。其余的进入垃圾填埋场或被非法倾倒，造成火灾和有毒排放的巨大风险”。
Tyrewise 产品管理计划现已获得认可，它为我们提供了重复使用贵重材料的机会，同时减少了环境问题。轮胎方案是最后一个难题，并遵循国家环境标准的户外轮胎斯托2021年5月，金湾水泥厂开业，轮胎用作燃料，减少了所需的煤炭量。向低碳经济过渡需要大量增加可再生能源和电动汽车，两者都需要大型电池。据估计，到2030年，每年约有84，000块大型电池可能达到使用期，而到2020年估计为1，000节。
大卫帕克说：”大型电池是一种新产品，我们现在正在采取行动，以免它们成为议会和社区的负担，并在它们危害环境之前采取行动。 对于大型电池，费用将是一个新的金额，小比例的销售价格。例如，在一辆价值62，000纽币的日产Leaf上，EV补贴约为8000纽币，进口商的电池费将超过200纽币。 新西兰是世界上人均废物产生量最高的国家之一。
大卫·帕克说：”我们需要改变我们思考和管理材料和浪费的方式。受监管的产品管理计划符合我们废物策略和立法咨询文件中提出的大胆方向，即对废物负责，并认识到每个人都可以发挥作用，将废物减少。这些计划还将鼓励新的业务和就业机会，这对经济和我们的环境来说是双赢的。这两个计划都是与工业界和其他利益攸关方共同设计的”。
大卫·帕克说：”现在，我们正在就使这些计划发挥作用所需的法规进行磋商。关于轮胎和大型电池法规的咨询将持续到2021年12月16日。 政府将于2022年宣布决定。
大卫·帕克说：”然后，我们将就监管产品管理的下两个优先产品进行磋商，从 2022 年末的农场废弃物（农业化学品和农场塑料）和制冷剂开始。 有关信息可在以下环境部网站上了解和提交表格：https://consult.environment.govt.nz/waste/rps-tyres-and-large-batteries
4 November，Kiwis’ views sought on plan to deal with used tyres and large batteries The Government is taking the next steps needed to better manage used tyres and large batteries, and is inviting New Zealanders to have their say.
“Our plan will see manufacturers, sellers and users taking responsibility for ensuring old tyres and large batteries don’t end up in landfills or the environment,” Environment Minister David Parker said.
The plan proposes a “product stewardship fee” charged at the time of purchase to cover collection and recycling at the end of a product’s life.
The regulated product stewardship schemes will help ensure a more sustainable legacy for future generations by supporting the shift to a low carbon, circular economy. They will:
ensure all producers, importers, and retailers of tyres and large batteries play their part in a scheme
require schemes to provide waste product collection to encourage reuse and renewal.
“There is already a cost to dispose of used tyres, but it is not working properly. This fee will replace the ineffective and inconsistent fees often charged by suppliers when replacing tyres,” David Parker said.
“Every year about 6.5 million tyres are imported into New Zealand. When they reach their end of life, only 30 per cent are exported, recycled or used for other purposes such as silage weights on the farm. The rest go to landfill or are illegally dumped, causing significant risks of fire and toxic emissions,” David Parker said.
“The Tyrewise product stewardship scheme, which has now been accredited, gives us the chance to reuse valuable materials and at the same time reduce environmental problems.”
The scheme for tyres is the last piece of the puzzle and follows the introduction of the National Environmental Standard for outdoor tyre storage in May 2021, and the March 2021 opening of the Golden Bay Cement plant where tyres are used as fuel, reducing the amount of coal required.
Transitioning to a low-carbon economy requires major increases in renewable energy and electric vehicles and both require large batteries. It’s estimated that by 2030 about 84,000 large batteries could reach end of use each year, up from an estimated 1,000 in 2020.
“Large batteries are a new product, and we’re taking action now before they become a burden for councils and communities and before they harm the environment,” David Parker said
For large batteries the fee will be a new amount, small in proportion to the sale price.
For example on a new $62,000 Nissan Leaf, which attracts an EV subsidy of about $8000, the battery fee to the importer would be just over $200.
New Zealand is one of the highest generators of waste per person in the world.
“We need to change the way we think about, and manage, materials and waste,” David Parker said.
“Regulated product stewardship schemes are consistent with the bold direction set out in our waste strategy and legislation consultation paper Taking responsibility for our waste and recognise everyone has a role to play to minimise waste.”
“The schemes will also encourage new business and jobs – and that’s a win-win for the economy and our environment.”
Both schemes have been co-designed with industry and other stakeholders.
“Now we are consulting on the regulations needed to make the schemes work,” David Parker said.
Consultation on the regulations for tyres and large batteries will run until 16 December 2021.
The Government will announce decisions in 2022.
“We will then consult on the next two priority products for regulated product stewardship, starting with farm waste (agrichemicals and farm plastics) and refrigerants in late 2022,” David Parker said.
