Corrugated Cardboard Becomes A Big Assistant For Environmental Protection

Corrugated Cardboard Becomes A Big Assistant For Environmental Protection

In recent years, corrugated cardboard, as a green paper packaging material, has developed rapidly in China, accounting for more than 60% of the paper packaging material, and has begun to extend to other fields.

After nearly 30 years of development, China's corrugated cardboard industry has formed a scale. At present, it has 4000 corrugated cardboard production lines and an annual output of 20 billion square meters. Products with corrugated cardboard as raw materials include cartons, cartons, pallets, paper corners and extended products such as house partitions, furniture supplies, supermarket shelves, display racks, buffer materials, etc.

Because corrugated cardboard production does not need high-tech and the entry threshold is low, the competition in this industry is fierce. In the face of the current financial crisis in the market and the severe situation of the relative reduction of China's export products, how to deal with the fierce competition in the market and make the healthy and sustainable development of the industry become the focus of the industry. www.chinacartonmachine.com

The industry realized large-scale production. China currently has more than 3000 corrugated cardboard production lines, with overcapacity. Although the United States has only more than 1000 corrugated cardboard production lines, its output ranks the first in the world, mainly because of the high degree of modernization and scale of its enterprises. Under the current situation of fierce market competition in China, outdated equipment with low degree of manual or automation, high energy consumption and low efficiency should be eliminated, such as  corrugated cardboard production lines with a speed of less than 80 meters per minute and a width of less than 1.6 meters, automatic control equipment with a width of more than two meters and a linear speed of more than 150 meters per minute should be introduced, and the production of enterprises should be scientifically managed, To improve the overall competitiveness of the enterprise is the development of the corrugated cardboard industry in the future.

The product functions are developing towards diversification. The current corrugated cardboard should develop from a single transport packaging function to a variety, multi-function and multi-purpose direction. In the field of packaging, high strength, low weight and light weight will replace the traditional five-layer or seven-layer cardboard, reflecting the environmental protection concept of low consumption. At the same time, the product should also develop from a single packaging function to beautify the product function. At present, corrugated cardboard has developed from traditional A, C, B and D types to E, F and G types. The new type of corrugated cardboard can not only meet the requirements of high strength, but also reflect the characteristics of saving materials, direct printing, and beautiful surface patterns. At present, the developed three-layer corrugated cardboard in the world has reached more than 80%, while China only accounts for 30%. In addition, the industry should break the situation that the single variety of corrugated cardboard products dominates the market, and develop micro corrugated cardboard, heavy corrugated cardboard, moisture-proof and water-resistant corrugated cardboard, fresh-keeping corrugated cardboard, anti-embroidery corrugated cardboard, etc.

Pallets made of high-strength corrugated cardboard can replace wooden pallets and reduce wood consumption. Corrugated cardboard can replace foamed plastics to reduce white pollution and replace plastic, wood and metal packaging materials. They have broad market prospects in the packaging field of color TV, refrigerator and mobile phone products.
