Thanks to the Chinese economy's take-off in the past few decades, China's corrugated box industry has surpassed the United States and has developed into an undisputed leader worldwide.
“In 2020, the output value of China's packaging industry will reach 2.5 trillion†“In 2017, the amount of paper packaging paper exceeded 70 million tons, of which the paper consumption of paper boxes exceeded 50 million tons.†“The United Nations Environment Development Agency issued a report in 2014. Because of the invention of the carton, the world has reduced the loss of 3 billion tons of grain in the transportation process, accounting for about 30% of the world's total annual grain output.†The above data and case are from the China Paper Sustainable Development Forum and China. The White Paper on Sustainable Development of the Paper Industry was held in the heavy dialogue session on “Green and Packagingâ€.
Under such a large scale of output value, the demand for green environmental protection and scientific research and innovation carried by the packaging and paper industry need not be rumored. In this dialogue, Professor Cao Zhenlei, Executive Vice President of the China Paper Association, was hosted as a guest, and together with six guests from the industry, academia and research, they launched a series of key words on resources, environment, structure, demand, raw materials and science. Don't open up a face-to-face discussion.
Rapid development, China's corrugated box industry has surpassed the United States
The data of “2.5 trillionâ€, “70 million tons†and “3 billion tons†not only directly reflects the scale and influence of China's packaging industry and paper industry, but also indirectly proves its role in production and consumption activities. The degree of importance. Especially in the context of sustained economic growth, the rapid development of the e-commerce economy and the express delivery industry has brought about greater changes in the packaging industry.
According to Wang Yuezhong, executive vice president and secretary general of China Packaging Federation, China's modern packaging industry started in the 1980s. In 1980, the output value was 7.2 billion yuan. After more than 40 years of development, by 2018, China's packaging industry enterprises above designated size The accumulated income from the main business reached 970.23 billion. "By benefiting from the Chinese economy's take-off in the past few decades, China's corrugated carton industry has surpassed the United States and has developed into a world-wide leader without any controversy." Wang Yuezhong said.
Among all the packaging types, paper packaging is one of the main categories, and the output value accounts for about one-third of the overall output value of the packaging. The scope of application is related to all aspects of economic life. According to Qian Yi, secretary-general of the China Paper Association, the amount of paper used for paper packaging in 2017 exceeded 70 million tons, including about 50 million tons of paper packaging. How to understand these figures more vividly? Qian Yi compared the current hot courier packaging cartons. "According to the statistics of relevant departments, the amount of express parcels in China in 2010 was 40 billion, of which 14 billion were carton, and the weight of synthetic packaging paper was less than 1 million tons, which only accounted for less than 2% of the carton output." Qian Yi said .
The low cost, easy scale production, green environmental protection, and easy recycling are many advantages of paper packaging, so the application field of paper packaging will become wider and wider. Wang Yuezhong believes that the rapid development of paper packaging customers such as e-commerce, express delivery and the emergence of new products such as smart packaging have brought new opportunities and challenges to the development of the paper packaging industry. Qian Yi believes that paper packaging is becoming the first choice for consumers because of its environmentally-friendly recycling characteristics.
Shortage of raw materials is the main cause of paper price fluctuations
Paper price fluctuations bring great trouble to packaging companies
Although I deal with paper every day, most people don't know. In fact, the main raw material for papermaking is waste paper. Due to the serious shortage of forestry raw materials in China and the low recovery rate of domestic waste paper, the raw materials of waste paper depend to a certain extent on the import of foreign waste paper. In recent years, with the restrictions on solid waste imports by the state, the source of raw materials in China's paper industry has been affected to some extent.
Since 2017, due to the combined effects of various factors, paper prices have experienced a “roller coaster†fluctuation. Some people even said that speculation in stocks is not as good as speculation. Zhang Yin, Chairman of Nine Dragons Paper (Holdings) Co., Ltd. analyzed the reasons for paper price fluctuations: “The change in price is the result of a combination of factors. On the one hand, market demand continues, on the other hand, the amount of imported waste paper decreases. As a result, domestic papermaking materials are insufficient, resulting in soaring domestic waste paper prices, and the production costs of papermaking enterprises have risen sharply, which has led to an increase in the price of finished paper. Even the supply shortage has occurred in stages and localities."
“Waste paper and paperboard are the main raw materials supporting China's paper industry, accounting for more than 65% of papermaking raw materials. Strictly speaking, high-quality waste paper and paperboard cannot be called 'waste' or 'solid waste', it should be called ' Recycled fiber' is an internationally recognized raw material that is the most environmentally friendly, high quality and low price. It cannot include high quality imported waste paper and paperboard (with a miscibility of 0.5% or less) in the scope of foreign garbage." South China Institute of Technology Chen Kefu, a university professor and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said.
Zhang Yin suggested that the country is expected to retain about 40% of imported waste paper, so that the raw material supply of the industry can be basically balanced and the industry will develop healthily. Chen Kefu said that the paper industry should strengthen the recycling of waste paper, pay close attention to the research on alternatives to waste paper, and give more support in the diversity of papermaking raw materials.
As a representative of the paper packaging manufacturer, Huang Shengxiong, the chairman of Dongguan Huangshi Jinhui Paper Co., Ltd., is very concerned about this and expressed his desire to build a benign development ecology with upstream paper companies. He said that the large fluctuations in the price of finished paper have caused problems for packaging companies and affected the normal production of enterprises. As a packaging company, we hope that the upstream and downstream will jointly maintain a relatively stable and healthy development, and jointly provide support and services for the "Made in China" industrial chain.
Paper packaging is still the first choice for users
Great achievements in cleaner production
“From the perspective of the whole life cycle, paper packaging is a product that reduces carbon emissions, and it is a packaging material from green to green.†Qian Yi said that because of the packaging materials, renewable materials are becoming more environmentally conscious. Today, paper packaging is gradually becoming the first choice. Some consumers even prefer to sacrifice the performance of the product, but also consider the impact of packaging on the environment, and begin to give up some high-carbon packaging materials.
But when it comes to the paper industry, many people still label it as "high energy consumption" and "high pollution". Duan Ning, one of the founders of China's cleaner production, and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said: "In recent years, China's paper industry has eliminated more than 40 million tons of backward production capacity and vigorously introduced clean energy equipment. The clean production of the industry has made great progress. â€
The White Paper on Sustainable Development of China's Paper Industry shows that the modern paper industry has a typical circular economy attribute and has developed into a complete circular economy with recyclable resources, low energy consumption, low emissions, and carbon cycle in the natural world. It is China's national economy. It is an important basic raw material industry with a cyclical economy and a new economic growth point.
“Fifty years ago, like in my hometown of Sichuan, the waste pollution from paper mills was really serious. Now, the paper industry has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes. In terms of pollution, compared with 1999, the industry of the paper industry Papermaking emissions have dropped from 10.3 billion cubic meters to 2.2 billion cubic meters. As one of the founders of China's cleaner production, Duan Ning demonstrated with personal experience and data.
At present, China's paper industry has made great achievements in green environmental protection, and has got rid of the hat of high pollution and high energy consumption. Duan Ning suggested that papermaking enterprises should still strictly prevent the occurrence of pollution accidents in the future production, improve the quality of personnel, and strive to continue to reduce pollution.
