Since may, China's finished paper market has ushered in a boom in prices. From May 1 to May 4, the paper mills 32 announced price increases, white board paper, corrugated paper and corrugated board paper paper types of price increases in 100 yuan to 300 yuan per ton, the mainstream Gao Kechong corrugated national average at around 4350 yuan per ton, compared with the early rising more than 11%.
Industry experts believe that the price of waste paper is an important reason for the increase in the price of finished paper. Since January this year, China has gradually tightened the import of waste paper, the import of waste paper decreased.
A campaign against "foreign trash" is under way in China. "Firmly refuse" foreign garbage "" own garbage digestion" The domestic public is clamoring to keep the "foreign garbage" out of the country. But an objective analysis shows that not all foreign trash can be banned completely in a short period of time.
Tsinghua university, professor, school of environment, solid waste treatment and environmental safety, deputy director of key laboratory of the ministry of education, liu said: "at present, China's imports most of the solid waste is waste paper, related businesses rely on waste paper at the mouth of the higher, accounting for a larger proportion of the, in the short term might not be able to replace."
In recent years, e-commerce is in the ascendant in China. With the increase of online shopping, the express logistics industry develops rapidly and the demand for corrugated paper keeps increasing.
Last December, the regulations on environmental protection and management of imported waste paper and the restrictive import classes can be used as a raw material of the regulations on environmental protection and management of solid waste, imported waste paper production capacity of enterprises shall be not less than 50000 tons a year. The production capacity in the solicitation draft should be no less than 300,000 tons per year instead of 50,000 tons per year.
50000 tons of standard greatly eased the small mill's living space, especially in the field of corrugated paper production, ChanChang capacity is less than 300000 tons the following paper factory, the government kept small mill using imported waste paper.
However, with the gradual progress of China's ban on "foreign garbage", in February, China revised the limit of waste paper import impurities to 0.5%, which is more strict than the previous regulation of 1.5%. This means that even if the production capacity is not less than 50,000 tons per year, it may not meet the import standards due to insufficient classification and excessive impurities.
China is still determined to crack down on "foreign garbage". While raising the import standard of waste paper, the approval is more cautious than before.
In the long run, more stringent wastepaper import restrictions will reduce waste paper imports, while facing the domestic demand for high waste paper, paper use demand for the biggest Courier industry started from their own to find corresponding countermeasures.
The corrugated cartons used in the express industry are mostly one-time packaging with high cost and short cycle. Last year "double", Su Ningyi purchase, jingdong big electric business platform to start the trial Shared express box, loop bags, hundred biodegradable Courier bags, etc., to replace traditional express corrugated cardboard packaging needs.
In February, a revised series of national standards for express packaging products was released, which included a reduction in the amount of paper used to cover express packages. On May 1, in addition, the formal implementation of the provisional regulations on the express, encourage the use of biodegradable, reusable environmental protection packaging materials, encourage the express business enterprises take measures to recycle express packaging materials, recycled utilization and reuse of packaging materials.
According to data from the 2018 national conference on postal administration, China completed 41 billion express deliveries last year. That means an average of 30 couriers per person per year. If such a large number of express can be packaged with environment-friendly materials, it will reduce the demand for corrugated paper at the source and reduce the dependence on waste paper imports. In the future, more and more stringent waste paper import restrictions will become a strong impetus for the development of green express.
