[China Packaging Network] Packaging plastics consumption is the largest consumer of plastic consumption, a variety of styles, technology updates quickly. At the same time, the plastic packaging machinery industry has gradually grown with the development of packaging plastics consumption. The prospects are good, and the domestic and foreign markets have great potential.
In the world's plastics industry, the largest amount of packaging plastics, generally accounting for 25% - 70% of the total amount of plastic, taking the plastic industry as the most developed countries of the United States, Japan and Germany, packaging plastics accounted for 27.2% of total plastic consumption %, 32.8% and 27.2%, while plastic packaging in China accounts for about 25% of plastic consumption.
International Plastic Packaging Materials Development Outlook
1. Plastic packaging becomes one of the fastest growing demand materials in the packaging industry
From an international point of view, although plastic packaging materials have been subjected to serious challenges in environmental issues, it is hoped that from the data published in recent years, plastic packaging remains one of the fastest-growing materials in the packaging industry. The average growth rate of paper and plastic in the packaging industry in the United States was 2.4% between 1996 and 2001, of which plastic was 3.4%, and the sales volume of plastic packaging materials in Japan accounted for 15.4% of the total sales of various types of packaging, ranking second.
2. High-barrier, multi-functional plastic packaging materials have become a hotspot in many countries.
Such materials include high permeability, multi-functional preservation, choice of breathability, heat resistance, sterility (antibacterial), and rust-proof, deodorant, shape memory, resealable, easy-opening, etc. plastic packaging materials, Among them, the development of high-impermeability, multi-functional fresh-keeping and aseptic packaging materials has become more rapid and will become the focus of development in the early 21st century.
3. Energy-saving, environmental protection, and easy recycling become the starting point for technological development
The 21st century is the century of environmental protection. Plastic packaging materials will usher in new opportunities and will also face severe challenges. In order to meet the requirements of the new era, plastic packaging materials, in addition to meeting the ever-increasing requirements of market packaging quality and efficiency, are also required. Need to further save energy, and pay attention to recycling.
4. Develop anti-static and conductive soft plastic packaging materials with broad prospects for development
5. Plastic blends, plastic alloys, inorganic materials Filled reinforced composites (ABC) will become plastic stars of tomorrow.
Domestic plastic packaging materials development trend
1. Rapid development of biaxially oriented films on composite substrates
The original composite film is developing to a deeper level and the bag making and printing technologies have reached a new level, accelerating the pace of entering the color revolution. At the same time, the entire industry has been a monthly plastic version, gravure version, flexo color system, to promote the development of soft plastic packaging materials to the depth, anti-counterfeit packaging film is developing with each passing day, known as the soft plastic packaging often open flowers.
3. The development of multi-layer co-extrusion technology has changed the product structure of functional films and containers and adapted to market demands.
With the development of the market economy, daily goods packaging, cosmetics packaging, food packaging, and household appliance packaging have all put forward higher requirements. On the one hand, with the rising demand for environmental protection, how to reduce the amount of waste generated under the premise of satisfying the packaging functionality, and to develop the direction of lightweight and thin-walled packaging film and packaging containers, and to dry compound The main high-barrier films use adhesives and solvents to facilitate the environment pollution during the production process, while the development of co-extrusion packaging films, the process equipment investment, low cost, adaptability, and easy operation. International co-extrusion technology has developed rapidly. Relevant information shows that co-extruded packaging films in developed countries account for 40% of the total flexible plastic packaging materials, while we only account for 6%, still based on dry-laid composite films, and the ratio between the two is unreasonable. .
4. Fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping packaging film has a promising market
China is the world’s largest producer and seller of fruit and vegetables. However, about 30% of the fruits are lost during storage, transportation, and sales. Among them, improper packaging is an important cause. In the highly competitive market conditions, the role of packaging is increasingly important. At present, polyethylene film and polypropylene film are the most widely used packaging materials for fresh fruits and vegetables.
5. The plastic beverage bottle market lurks attractive business opportunities
Plastic packaging containers have a wide application market, among which the beverage industry has attractive business opportunities, and the demand for plastic containers for soft drinks, juices, vegetables, and beverages is increasing day by day. The proportion of PET bottles used in carbonated beverages accounted for 57.4%, and the market prospects are promising.
With the sudden emergence of the domestic tea beverage market, hot-filled PET bottles have become the fastest growing varieties of polyester bottles. The annual growth rate exceeds 50%. The development of polypropylene transparent packaging bottles is a hot spot for plastic packaging at home and abroad in recent years. Among them, high transparent PP can be widely used in injection, blowing, blowing, extrusion, hot containers, food, medicine bottles, etc., and its price is suitable. It is a competitor of PS, ABS, PET, and PE bottles and has a broad market. prospect.
6. The market for drinking water bottles (barrels)
The national bottled water production was 5.54 million tons, accounting for nearly 1/4 of the total amount of beverages, and it has entered thousands of households. The current development of food-grade PC raw materials is very urgent. Shanghai and Bayer have signed contracts for the construction of 100,000-ton grade PC resin, which will be put into operation in the first period of 2003 with an annual output of 50,000 tons, which can ease the long-term dependence on imports of PCs.
7. The heat shrink film develops in the direction of multi-function, and the market prospect is promising
