New opportunity under "Plastic Reduction" policy

With the increasingly strict national environmental protection policies, the implementation and strengthening of the "plastic restriction" or "plastic ban", and the continuous improvement of social environmental protection concepts, as an important alternative to plastic packaging, paper product packaging industry is facing important opportunities for development.

The National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued the Opinions on Further Strengthening the Control of Plastic Pollution on January 19, 2020, which clearly put forward the specific requirements and time arrangement of "limiting plastic products" and "replacing plastic products", and took the lead in banning or restricting the production, sale and use of some plastic products in some areas and areas.

Under the national "plastic restriction" policy, the application of plastic packaging will be limited. As an environmentally friendly material with good reproducibility and degradability, paper can become an important alternative to plastic packaging. In the future, it will face a larger market space and a broad development prospect.

Under the new plastic limit, disposable plastic bags, plastic tableware and express plastic packaging will be prohibited and restricted. From the current alternative materials, paper products have the advantages of environmental protection, lightweight and low cost, and the replacement demand is prominent.

Specifically, because disposable plastic tableware has been gradually banned from use, the demand for food-grade cardboard and environment-friendly paper plastic meal boxes has increased; Shopping malls, supermarkets, drugstores, bookstores and other places to promote the use of environmentally friendly cloth and paper bags; Express plastic packaging is banned, let the box board corrugated packaging demand increases. All kinds of paper packaging began to be used in all aspects of human life and production.

In the view of the industry, paper products have a high substitution role for plastic. It is expected that from 2020 to 2025, the demand for paper packaging products represented by white cardboard, box board and corrugated paper will increase significantly, and paper products will become the backbone of plastic replacement.
