By the State Council formulated the "urban drainage and wastewater treatment regulations", from January 1, 2014 the formal implementation. Rubber Industrial manufacturers need vigilant, it may be liable to a fine of $ 500,000.

Article 21 of the "Regulations", in the industrial, construction, food and beverage, health care and other activities of enterprises and institutions, individual industrial and commercial households (hereinafter referred to as the drainage households) to urban drainage discharges shall apply to the competent department of urban drainage collection sewage discharged into the drainage network license. Household sewage is discharged into the drainage pipes shall be in accordance with the requirements of the network permits the discharge of sewage.

In terms of illegal discharge of sewage, natural rubber processing industry is particularly serious in the case. Natural rubber processing industry is a high-water industry, glue process will generate a lot of high concentration organic wastewater, which may contain styrene, acrylonitrile, butadiene, accelerator, antioxidant and polymerization inhibitor, water is extremely complex. At present, most of them only after a simple rubber wastewater coagulation, sedimentation died after discharge treatment system, to the operation of sewage treatment plants difficult. According to reports, only about a year, Hainan Province nonattainment when 1.58 million tons of rubber wastewater discharge, about 40% of private natural rubber processing plant in order to reduce administrative costs and operating costs, not the normal operation of wastewater treatment facilities, excessive emissions seriously.

In the plastics industry, the illegal discharge of sewage to a lesser extent, the recent headline illegal discharges of plastic plants, mostly undocumented illegal processing of small workshops, especially small waste plastic processing plants.
