China's packaging industry started from the early 80s of last century. After more than 20 years of development, it has gradually formed a relatively complete system and has a considerable scale. However, the rapid development of the industry has also caused many environmental problems. Experts pointed out that a full-scale entry into the environmental protection industry will provide opportunities for the packaging industry to achieve the second-largest development, and companies can expect to get an early return.
At present, the annual output of packaging waste in China is about 16 million tons, and at the same time it is still growing at a rate of more than 10% each year. The resulting environmental problems are mainly manifested in many aspects such as the large consumption of natural resources, the disposal of waste, the increase of waste management pressure, and the environmental impact of waste.
Relevant experts pointed out that at present, packaging waste has been increasing, and recycling technology has reached an initial maturity. Under the condition that solid waste is treated in the direction of reduction, harmlessness, and resource recycling, enterprises invest in packaging waste recycling not only It is feasible and will promote the development of the packaging industry. On the one hand, this is in line with the country's sustainable development strategy. The strengthening of environmental protection has solved the worries of the development of the packaging industry and opened new economic growth points. On the other hand, advancing to the environmental protection industry can develop inexpensive packaging for the packaging industry. Sources of raw materials, lower original production costs, with dual economic and ecological benefits.
With the increase in the amount of packaging waste, the cost of waste disposal has been rising, and increasing the recycling of packaging waste is a general trend. However, in the rapid development of packaging production, China still has a large gap with developed countries in terms of waste management, disposal and recycling.
According to statistics, the reuse rate of paper, iron, aluminum and glass containers in Switzerland averaged over 86%; the German tinplate recovery rate was 50%, the corrugated paper recovery rate was 95%, and the comprehensive recovery rate of waste newspapers was 78%. In contrast, environmental pollution caused by the production, circulation, and consumption of packaging products in China has not yet received full and adequate attention. Experts warn that it is now time for companies to invest in the recycling of packaging waste.
First of all, the recycling of packaging materials has obvious economic and ecological benefits. Although there are many kinds of packaging waste, the materials of packaging products can be basically divided into four categories: paper products, plastic products, glass products and metal products. Packaging waste is mostly renewable resources. Calculated according to the current recovery level: The country recycles 140,000 tons of cartons a year, which can save 80,000 tons of coal with the same amount of paper, 49 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, 23.8 tons of wood pulp and straw, and 11,000 tons of caustic soda; one year of recycled glass. The 1 billion bottles will save 49,000 tons of coal needed for the same amount of glass bottles, 38.5 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, 49,000 tons of quartz stones, and 15,700 tons of soda ash; 40 million tons of iron cans will be recycled, saving steel 4.8 Tens of thousands of tons; recycling packaging fabrics 100 million meters a year, can save 15,000 tons of cotton, the total value of the above several up to several hundred million yuan.
Second, the continuous growth of packaging waste production provides sufficient production resources for recycling. Judging from the statistics of the total output of the national packaging industry, currently there are approximately 8.35 million tons of paper packaging products, 2.44 million tons of plastic packaging products, 4.44 million tons of glass packaging products, and 1.61 million tons of metal packaging products. At the same time, these products also grow at a rate of 12.5%-30% per year. According to research data, 1 ton of waste paper can regenerate 0.8 ton of new paper or 0.83 ton of cardboard; 1 ton of waste plastic can regenerate 0.75 ton of diesel or 0.6 ton of unleaded gasoline. From this we can see that there is no need to worry about the "raw material" problem of recycling.
