Production of castoff from process in Chinese materia medica resources industrialization as well as resource utilization strategies and modes / 中草药

ABSTRACT

The resources utilization of castoff from Chinese materia medica (CMM) industrialization is a successive process involving economy, environment, social benefits, and other multiple goals. The balance and dynamic evolution characteristics between the economic benefit goals and environment benefit objectives closely relate to the resource models. Based on the thoughts and methods of resources chemistry of CMM, and through analyzing the generation, classification, and characteristics of castoff from CMM industrialization, this article proposed the "three utilization strategies" and "three types of resource modes" of castoff from CMM industrialization. The three utilization strategies are the traditional "non-medicinal parts" with multi-channel utilization (1), castoff recycling and utilizing in pieces processing (2), and in resources deep processing (3) of CMM. The three types of resources modes are extensive low resource mode, conversion efficiency of resources mode, and fine high value resources mode. These strategies and modes would provide the references for promoting the resources utilization of castoff from CMM industrialization and contribute to the realization of a resource-saving and environment-friendly recycling economy development of CMM and natural medicine resources.
