Ordinary plastics will still dominate the packaging materials market

According to the “China Petrochemical News” report, with the increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements, more and more traditional plastic packaging has been challenged by degradable plastic packaging and paper packaging. Degradable plastic packaging and paper packaging can completely replace the ordinary plastic packaging? Is this really the case? In fact, we do not have to be so nervous. A few days ago, many industry experts said that ordinary plastics will still dominate the packaging materials market.
Tang Saichen, senior engineer at the China Light Industry Information Center, stated that "degrading plastic bags is not an alternative to ordinary plastic bags, and it is not necessary because various plastics have their own positioning. Degradable plastics are mainly located in those disposables and are difficult to collect. , dirty, recycling and uneconomical consumer products."
Regarding the status quo that paper packaging is very popular, Yuan Guangkai, a professor at the Department of Environmental Science and Engineering at Tsinghua University, believes that although paper packages are biodegradable, paper products generate several times more pollution than plastics during production and recycling. In combination with the strategy of sustainable development, it is unscientific to promote the use of paper for plastics.
From the Secretary-General of the China Engineering Plastics Industry Association Zheng Zheng, it was learned that in the future, packaging will be the largest application area for plastics, and ordinary plastics will continue to be the protagonist of the packaging materials market.
From the above, it is not difficult for us to see that the traditional printing industry will not suffer a huge impact and the market will continue to progress steadily.
