During this destruction process, since the plastic boxes used to make CDs are made of high-quality chemical fibers and have high utilization value, these "destroyed" CDs are imported to China in the name of waste plastic. In fact, during the destruction process, due to the requirements of the purchaser and the circulation relationship, only some CDs were completely destroyed, and some were only cut into the CD box surface, while the CDs were intact.
