To promote the plastic packaging industry to green development
With the continuous development of social economy and the continuous change of the global environment, consumers' demands for environmental protection and conservation of product packaging are becoming increasingly strong, and traditional plastic packaging materials can no longer meet the market demand, at the same time, the landing of domestic environmental protection, green, degradable plastics related policies continues to promote the development of China's plastic packaging industry to green environmental protection.
At the 2022 Packaging Industry Summit Forum held by the China Packaging Federation recently, a number of packaging companies carried out in-depth discussions and exchanges around sustainable development and digital construction.
The plastic recycling system is not yet fully established
"The pollution does not come from the plastic itself, but the improper recycling of the plastic. Plastic packaging actually has less of an environmental impact than other materials." Ma Rongrong, sustainable development director of AMco Greater China, a leading company in the flexible packaging industry, said when sharing the company's sustainable development practice.
"Nowadays, plastic products are mostly composite films, which are not easy to recycle or have low recycling value; The plastic recycling system has not been completely established, and the recycling rate is low; The industry has not formed industrial chain coordination, and the product development and application scale is small." Wang Daode, chairman and general manager of Zhejiang Chengde Technology Co., LTD., admitted the bottlenecks facing the development of the industry.
When talking about global plastic pollution and flexible packaging industry countermeasures, Gong Jian, sales director of Jiangsu Caihua Packaging Group Co., LTD., also said that the recycling of composite flexible packaging is facing many problems, such as composite packaging is difficult to separate, and different materials have a greater impact. In terms of the key technology of monomer, it is also necessary to achieve the improvement and reduction of the basic film material as far as possible, enabling the surface of the film material, high-quality recycling process of plastic flexible packaging and the development of auxiliary materials technology.
Innovative technology promotes recycling of plastic packaging
In the face of problems such as the difficulty of plastic recycling in packaging enterprises, enterprises are also actively exploring technological innovation and continuously promoting the recycling of packaging.
Ma Rongrong said that it is necessary to reduce white pollution through effective use and recycling, and grasp the opportunities brought by sustainable development. The company should further join hands with partners to continuously promote the recycling of packaging in a wider range. Since 2020, with the support of the China Packaging Federation, AMCO (China) Investment Co., Ltd. has launched the first domestic sustainable development environmental protection initiative and series of activities in the packaging industry together with the upstream and downstream of the industry, aiming to call on industry colleagues to start from the source in environmental protection, and consider recycling when designing.
Wang Daode took the "easy recycling solution of the same material" as an example to introduce the research and development of functional polyethylene, which is an exploration from multi-plastic, plastic reduction to the same plastic, in order to meet the barrier requirements of downstream packaging materials as much as possible.
Gong Jian said that in view of the current market and industry status quo, enterprises are also thinking and exploring innovation paths, and put forward "functional film projects and high barrier monomer solutions." This solution focuses on the development and production of closed-loop recyclable film products, reducing the overall cost, improving film performance, reducing the use of plastics and adhesives, and shortening the production process. Gong Jian introduced more new materials, including the single-material innovative structure of high barrier flexible packaging, that is, the ultra-high barrier high heat seal PP aluminized film in PP series and related materials and the transparent ultra-high barrier heat seal PP film. This material combines the barrier layer and the heat seal layer into one, which can be applied to the inner or middle layer of the packaging with high barrier requirements, especially as an alternative to aluminum foil.
Wenbo, president of Liaoning Dongsheng Group, proposed that the potential space for degradable plastics is very large, and at this stage, it mainly relies on policy promotion, and governments at all levels have increased the promotion of plastic pollution control policies. In particular, the public's gradual acceptance of the plastic limit order, foreign-funded enterprises, chain brands and other industry leaders have taken the lead in setting an example. Dongsheng Group will focus on building an industrial Internet cloud platform to link customers and factories through self-construction or mergers and acquisitions, enhance integrated service capabilities, and explore the way out for packaging enterprises through environmental protection and digitalization.
Low-carbon green becomes a "must option" for enterprises
Under the background of "double carbon", low-carbon green development is not only a way for enterprises to assume social responsibility, but also a development strategy for enterprises to meet the needs of The Times.
Wang Chuanlong, director of the Packaging Research Institute of Yibin Plas Packaging Materials Co., LTD., Sichuan Province, introduced that intelligent development is an innovative topic of industry development, and the company has explored in this field for many years and achieved remarkable results. The company makes multi-dimensional efforts to build a smart packaging ecological value system.
Zhang Qigang, technical director of Henan Yinjinda Holding Group Co., LTD., put forward the production concept of green products, green production process, recycling of resources and green post-treatment. Taking "the use of rPETG new environmentally friendly and low-carbon label materials" as an example, uphold the concept of green design at the source, in which the carbon footprint report shows that the purpose of energy saving and emission reduction has been achieved, and hope that the production process can be further green and achieve low-carbon win-win situation. In the future, it will focus on the development of lightweight and easy to recycle labels, crystallizable labels, environmentally friendly ink and recycled polyester labels, and is committed to solving the pain points of the industry, that is, to achieve the separation of bottles and labels. The company will continue to actively respond to the call of the state and build a green development system covering clear system boundaries based on product life cycle evaluation.
Chen Liping, chairman of Anhui Fengyuan Biotechnology Co., LTD., analyzed the prospects of biological materials in green packaging. He believes that the bioeconomy is about to usher in an outbreak period, and enterprises are committed to the efficient use of straw as a biomass raw material. Under the relevant requirements of the state, through biotechnology processing and manufacturing of bioenergy and biological materials products, to replace ordinary plastics and chemical fibers with polylactic acid, bio-based polyamino acid, bio-based polycarbonate development of biomass industry. On this basis, to achieve the utilization and transformation of renewable resources, the "black gold economy" of oil and coal, the "green gold economy" of biomass processing, to promote agricultural development in an industrial way, to achieve sustainable development, and to help China's high-standard agricultural construction and black land protection.
Digital reform stimulates new driving forces in the industry
As we all know, the packaging industry is large but not strong, and paper packaging enterprises are subject to the double squeeze of upstream paper mill monopoly and downstream enterprise procurement. How to reduce costs and increase efficiency has become a top priority for many enterprises.
