|
In 2008, the plastic packaging industry and other industries, experienced an extraordinary and challenging year. By the world financial crisis and the impact of changes in the macroeconomic situation, the plastic packaging industry, market demand, product exports significantly. Plastic packaging is widely used by virtue of their special properties and both of these is widely popular!
As plastic raw materials and processing technology development, the field of plastic packaging has occupied an important position, all kinds of plastic packaging is clearly riding on a plastic top spot. The plastic packaging is accompanied by rapid scientific and technological quality of life and people gradually improve and become the leader in plastic packaging. High performance, versatility is becoming a hot spot of plastic flexible packaging materials, the development of packaging materials. 2008 Southeast Asian food industry plastic packaging market size reached $ 1.414 billion, is expected to grow in 2015 to $ 2.023 billion, an average annual growth rate of 6.7%, this data can be described as amazing growth!
Amount of plastic packaging industry is the largest industry. 2008 National only plastic wire and woven goods production 700 million tons, is the second largest after the packaging film plastic packaging varieties and growing rapidly, five years to an average increase of more than 25%. 2009, total demand is expected to 16 million tons of domestic packaging, slight increase of 2%. Plastic packaging production value in 2011 is expected to reach 220 billion.
Flexible as necessary in today's society as a packaging for a wide range of goods. From the massive, granular, powder, commodities, semi-liquid to liquid food, carbonated beverage, wine, fruits and vegetables; from drugs, health products, medical devices, to the hardware products, toys, stationery: from household chemicals, hygiene products , to clothing and textiles are all suitable.
According to relevant statistics, at present, China's soft plastic packaging business of 4000, domestic production capacity of the composite membrane over 150 million tons of compound soft plastic packaging materials has become a more mature one of the main packaging materials, has been infiltrated all areas of national life. As the market needs of economic development, social demand for plastic packaging increased year by year, and more on the grade. Plastic packaging is colorful on its own inherent design innovative, easy to use features and coverage of the market champion, but also as intangible product advertising and promotion sales.
The advantages of plastic flexible packaging
Plastic packaging to buck the trend in the plastics industry downturn shine, must have its unique advantages. Today, flexible packaging and have not only the performance of composite substrate, can enhance the shelf-life role, and its structure is also the direction of diversification, providing people with a variety of facilities, such as zipper bags, pockets and other spin. Main advantages are as follows:
A variety of goods to meet protection requirements, significantly improve product shelf life. There are a variety of flexible functional materials, either separately meet the water vapor, gas, oil, solvents and other organic material of the barrier requirements, but also to meet the rust, corrosion, anti-electromagnetic radiation, anti-static, anti-chemical, etc., and sterile fresh, non-toxic and pollution-free requirements.
Second, the packaging process is simple to operate and easy to use. Manufacturers, packers purchase of good quality as long as the specific features of flexible packaging materials and equipment, can produce their own packaging, technical requirements easy to grasp. Open the easy and flexible packaging products easy to use.
Third, the strong appeal of commodities, especially for sales of packaging requirements. Flexible packaging is the most affinity form. Flexible packaging materials, products, texture, light, soft, comfortable, and suitable for printing colorful, information, communication and good effect, so that consumers feel good reputation.
Fourth, the savings in packaging costs and transportation costs. As soft and flexible packaging materials are mostly light film and sheet, body-packing, packing material share of the weight of a small, small package invalid empty plot, the flow of goods transportation is very convenient, transportation costs significantly lower than the use of rigid packaging products.
Fifth, resources and energy consumption, environmental protection has a clear comparative advantage. Flexible use of natural materials less packaging materials and contents of the weight ratio is very small, the packaging volume and volume ratio of the contents is also smaller. So, from the variety and quantity of resource consumption, said other flexible packaging with unparalleled advantages. As the material light, soft, easy to fold, easy packing, flexible packaging waste materials recycling very convenient transportation, waste disposal methods more, according to the nature of the different waste materials can be taken separately landfill, incineration, decomposition, recycling and other methods.
Development of plastic flexible packaging and the proposed direction
Despite the current momentum of Mengjin plastic packaging industry, but companies must keep the plastic flexible packaging market recovery, timely and effective adjustment of product structure. Focus on product differentiation, diversification of the structure for product innovation. Through technology and innovation, upgrading of traditional industries, focusing on creating brand, enhance reputation in the market.
A high-performance, multi-functional, environmental adaptation is the development direction. Recently, high-performance, multi-functional composite materials have become a hot industry development, such as high temperature, resistant to cooking, aseptic packaging, are key to development. Some business-to-green packaging product development there are some errors, "green packaging" is often understood as packaging products, "green" and biodegradable packaging material products as green packaging products, ignoring the production process of environmental pollution and resource waste, packaging products ignore the impact on human health and the re-use of packaging materials. In fact, a packaging material for "green", the entire life cycle from product to see its impact on the environment. Packaging should be conducive to the production of green sustainable development, to seize the three aspects, namely: resource conservation, environmental protection (reduction of water, air, noise pollution), the product to comply with safety and health standards.
Second, the development of energy-saving technology, packaging products, lightweight, thin wall. Currently, plastic packaging industry have great potential for energy saving, to beverage bottles, for example: 600 ml bottle weight is reduced to 25 grams 29 grams is possible; 1.25 upgraded to 42 grams, while only 32 grams abroad, we strive to to 35 grams to 38 grams is entirely possible. An annual output of 3.4 billion bottles of business calculations, saving three grams per bottle, the annual savings of 10,200 tons of raw materials, raw materials by 1.3 yuan / ton, saving 132 million yuan, considerable efficiency. Currently used for flexible packaging polyester film, commonly used thickness of 12 microns, if the country's annual consumption of packaging polyester film of 20 million tons, of which 12 micron film with 50% of the total, then, the thickness of 12 microns to 7 microns after thinning, you can save the country a year about 4 million tons of PET resin.
European plastics manufacturers association study shows that over the past decade lightweight packaging films, flexible packaging made of plastic, the average weight fell by 28%, annual reduction in the amount of 1.8 million tons of plastic, saving resources. Packaging materials in Europe, annual consumption of 66.4 million tons, of which 17% of the weight of plastic only, but packaged goods 50% in Europe, showing the significance of lightweight packaging.
Lightweight is not only an economic problem, including the process, technology, materials, equipment, design, use of concepts such as content, embody a kind of production level and social progress. Of course, the lightweight plastic packaging is an effective way to ensure the required packaging and consumer use and security of the premise. The so-called lightweight is not cutting corners, is through technological progress and innovation to achieve.
Third, pay attention to developing domestic and international markets. Give priority to existing applications market, and the current plastic packaging products for food, medicine, chemical, food, general industrial and consumer goods packaging, next step is to refine the market, the use of product differentiation, functional further develop the market; in accordance with national industrial policy adjustments, tracking follow-up support of key state industries, such as opening up markets for agricultural products, transportation industry, building materials industry, offering a complete package of security products; contact the relevant departments to strengthen the plastic packaging, collaboration, communication to collect all kinds of information, understand the market development; further explore foreign markets, many foreign-related products have undergone great changes in the market, plastic packaging business to a proactive, seize the opportunity to increase foreign market research and development.
Fourth, to improve industry-wide awareness of the law. National People's Congress and the State Council have issued a "Circular Economy Promotion Law of the PRC" and "Food Safety Law" and "the State Council on the work of governance excessive packaging of goods," and other important laws, regulations, formal implementation in 2009 , to the plastic packaging industry, pointing out the direction. Plastic packaging industry and food safety, excessive packaging and packaging waste recycling are closely related, the plastic packaging industry must attach great importance to ideological understanding, in the production development to implement them. Occurred in the production and management of food safety issues, waste of resources and environmental pollution is not a common problem, have the appropriate laws and regulations to regulate, such as non-compliance, a problem not only harmful to enterprises, social harm, endanger people, should be held administrative, economic or legal liability, do not take it lightly.
Conclusion
At present, even in developed countries, strict implementation of green packaging, plastic packaging is the fastest growing material, reducing the environmental impact of plastic on the key measures is to strengthen the recycling. China's plastic packaging production has more than 12 million tons of packaging waste each year only about 20% utilization, only the higher recycling of PET bottles. Mainly due to PET bottle recycling has a high value in use. PET bottle consumption of nearly 40 billion, and generates a tons of new polyester chips requires 6 tons of oil, by 1.5 million tons of bottle grade polyester material terms, need to consume 9 million tons of oil, so recycling can be significant savings in resources, in production to do good scrap recycling and the production process clean of water, air and noise pollution, the traditional "resources - production - pollution" paradigm shift to cleaner production, recycling technology up to the development cycle economic significance.
Advocated by the current plastic packaging is green, green thinking is to streamline the idea of concern for the environment is no longer a few minor issues of concern to the plastics industry has been concerned about this situation. Reduce the impact on the environment often leads to lower costs, particularly in improving the energy efficiency, environmental factors, which need to be implementing the Circular Economy Law, do a good job of plastic packaging waste recycling, go green packaging of the road. |
