Welcome to learn about the development of the packaging industry.
In the 21st century, environmental issues have become increasingly prominent, and resource and energy shortages are becoming more severe. With the growing strictness of environmental protection standards, the green and eco-friendly nature of packaging materials and production processes has become an important issue facing the plastic packaging industry, which is also a key market trend that the industry needs to focus on. Plastic packaging materials are required to save energy and resources, and to be easily recyclable or biodegradable after use. In recent years, new types of biodegradable plastics and photodegradable plastics have become hot topics in the research and development of packaging materials both domestically and internationally.

Paper packaging is a traditional pillar of the packaging industry, with common styles including corrugated cardboard, cardboard, and kraft paper. Among them, cartons made from corrugated cardboard have been widely used in the logistics process due to their low cost, good quality, and strong flexibility. In today's booming e-commerce market, a large amount of logistics demand relies on the stable supply of corrugated cartons. Cardboard boxes made from cardboard are often used for hamburger boxes, toothpaste boxes, cosmetic packaging boxes, etc., and are a common type of paper packaging encountered by consumers in daily life. In the downstream industries of paper packaging, especially in the food and beverage industry, 50% of paper packaging bags are used here. In the next three years, the food and beverage industry is expected to grow steadily at a rate of over 6%.
A better example is badge technology: applying it to product labels can detect the carbon dioxide content, indicating whether the food inside is fresh or no longer edible. In addition, the labels also warn consumers of the number of days the food has been refrigerated through color changes.
China is a major consumer of plastic packaging in the Asia-Pacific region, accounting for about 60% of the annual plastic packaging consumption in the region. In contrast, countries like Japan have been leading in the research and application of biodegradable plastics compared to other Asia-Pacific countries. The upstream resins and plastics of plastic packaging are located downstream of the petrochemical industry, and crude oil prices affect the supply of raw materials for plastic packaging. In addition to the common food and beverage applications, nearly 40% of the demand comes from the commercial sector, including various styles such as plastic pipes and waterproof membranes, which are also the current focus of development for various enterprises in the plastic packaging field.
About 70% of the demand for metal packaging comes from the food and beverage industry, which is also one of the industries most affected by consumption upgrades. In the next five years, the compound annual growth rate of metal packaging for food and beverages in China is expected to reach 9%.
