Recycling in China Has Become a Major Industry
zài在hěn duō很多rén人de的yìn xiàng印象zhōng中 ， “shōu收fèi pǐn废品 ”zhǐ shì只是shōu jí收集jiù旧bào zhǐ报纸 、sù liào塑料píng瓶huò zhě或者jiù旧jiā diàn家电 。
In many people's minds, “collecting scrap” simply means gathering old newspapers, plastic bottles, or old household appliances.
dàn shì但是xiàn zài现在 ，zài在zhōng guó中国 ，fèi pǐn废品huí shōu回收yǐ jīng已经biàn chéng变成le了yí gè一个fēi cháng非常jù dà巨大de的xiàn dài huà现代化chǎn yè产业 。
But now, in China, waste recycling has become a very large modern industry.
jù据guān fāng官方bào dào报道 ，zhōng guó中国zī yuán资源xún huán循环lì yòng利用de的chǎn yè产业guī mó规模yǐ jīng已经dá dào达到le了5 wàn yì yuán5万亿元 。
According to official reports, the scale of China's resource recycling industry has reached 5 trillion yuan.
wèi shén me为什么shōu收fèi pǐn废品huì会biàn dé变得zhè me这么zhòng yào重要ne呢 ？
Why has collecting scrap become so important?
shǒu xiān首先 ，zhè这kě yǐ可以jié yuē节约dà liàng大量zì rán zī yuán自然资源 。
First, it can save a large amount of natural resources.
bǐ rú比如 ，bǎ把fèi jiù废旧de的gāng tiě钢铁chóng xīn重新lì yòng利用 ，jiù就néng能jiǎn shǎo减少cóng从guó wài国外gòu mǎi购买tiě kuàng shí铁矿石 。
For example, reusing scrap steel can reduce the need to buy iron ore from abroad.
qí cì其次 ，suí zhe随着xīn néng yuán新能源qì chē汽车de的fā zhǎn发展 ，hěn duō很多jiù旧diàn chí电池yě也miàn lín面临bào fèi报废 。
Second, with the development of new energy vehicles, many old batteries are also reaching the end of their service life.
zhè xiē这些fèi jiù废旧diàn chí电池lǐ里cáng藏zhe着hěn duō很多zhēn guì珍贵de的jīn shǔ金属 。
These used batteries contain many valuable metals.
rú guǒ如果bǎ把tā men它们huí shōu回收tí qǔ提取chū lái出来 ，jì既bǎo hù保护le了huán jìng环境 ，yòu又néng能zài cì再次shēng chǎn生产xīn新diàn chí电池 。
If these metals are recycled and extracted, it protects the environment and also makes it possible to produce new batteries again.
guò qù过去 ，shōu收fèi pǐn废品tōng cháng通常shì是gè rén个人de的xiǎo小mǎi mài买卖 。
In the past, collecting scrap was usually a small business run by individuals.
ér而xiàn zài现在 ，hěn duō很多dà xíng大型qǐ yè企业dōu都jiā rù加入le了zhè ge这个háng yè行业 。
Now, however, many large companies have entered this industry.
tā men它们jiàn lì建立qǐ起xiàn dài huà现代化de的gōng chǎng工厂 ，yòng用xīn jì shù新技术lái来fēn lèi分类hé和chǔ lǐ处理fèi jiù废旧wù pǐn物品 ，ràng让huí shōu回收biàn dé变得gèng更guī fàn规范 、gèng更yǒu xiào lǜ有效率 。
They have built modern factories and use new technologies to sort and process waste items, making recycling more standardized and efficient.
tóng shí同时 ，pǔ tōng rén普通人de的shēng huó生活yě也shòu dào受到le了yǐng xiǎng影响 。
At the same time, ordinary people's lives have also been affected.
xiàn zài现在 ，yuè lái yuè越来越duō多rén人xǐ huān喜欢zài在shǒu jī手机shàng上zhuǎn mài转卖zì jǐ自己bù yòng不用de的xián zhì闲置wù pǐn物品 ，huò zhě或者bǎ把jiù旧dōng xī东西sòng送qù去zhèng guī正规de的huí shōu zhàn回收站 。
Now, more and more people like to resell unused items on their phones or take old things to official recycling stations.
zhuān jiā专家biǎo shì表示 ，fèi pǐn废品huí shōu回收bù jǐn不仅ràng让huán jìng环境biàn变hǎo好 ，yě也chuàng zào创造le了jù dà巨大de的jīng jì经济jià zhí价值 。
Experts say that recycling not only improves the environment but also creates enormous economic value.
wèi lái未来 ，zhè ge这个lǜ sè绿色chǎn yè产业hái还jiāng将jì xù继续kuài sù快速fā zhǎn发展 。
In the future, this green industry will continue to develop rapidly.
