Saving resources and environmental protection for packaging drums and calls (below)

Huang Shanxiang: In the past during the planned economy period, if the system was overkill, the project loans for enterprises must be examined at different levels. Therefore, it is harder to carry out technical reforms than to go to the top. After entering the market economy, they are too happy to live, who can have the money, free competition, unlimited development, and slowly derived from vicious competition, disorderly competition. At present, China has already entered the production line. Using single-faced machines to produce corrugated paper has been very low, and it is not a climate. But how much is our production line? In this respect, it is still difficult to come up with authoritative and accurate figures. According to my rough estimate, at present, China's corrugated board production line should be more than 3,000, and Guangdong Province has about 1,000, accounting for about 1/3 of the country. The 3000 tile lines in the low-grade tile (5 layers 1.6 meters wide) accounted for about 90%, medium and high-grade tile line does not exceed 300, including imported tile line is about 50. The average production rate of the production line is estimated to be around 40% according to the comprehensive analysis of the local experts. The average annual output value of each tile line in the Guangdong region is less than 20 million yuan, while in Jiangsu Province it is less than 30 million yuan, but in fact, the full-load output value of each tile line should be more than 50 million yuan. It can be seen that at present, the number of corrugated board production lines in China has been greatly saturated, which not only causes serious waste of equipment investment, but also causes superfluous production capacity, and therefore must be fully adjusted.

In due time, we should treat the current serious crisis with a calm mind. In view of the current overheated investment, it is necessary to cool down during adjustment and develop during adjustment. Otherwise, the ultimate loser is the company itself. The well-known “Lake Beijing Light Machine” is the industry's leader in terms of productivity and output. Jingshan declared that “the world’s sales are number one” and announced 256 tile lines sold in 2003. Now it is necessary to consider whether such a lot of money can bring its benefits into play. If it is difficult to realize its benefits, the market will ultimately choose and judge.

All heart: It is necessary to emphasize that our past reference must be corrected. For example, when it comes to the development of China's economy, we say that the output of certain products has increased, the output value has increased, and the national income has increased. In fact, these figures are too much water, and the actual value is too little. Take what you call the tile line as an example. In fact, in the developed countries, the number is decreasing. According to relevant authorities, the number of tile lines in the world's major industrial countries has dropped from more than 2,000 in the 1980s to around 800 currently. Among them, the U.S. tile line has been reduced from more than 800 to the current 300 (760 U.S. tile lines in 1982, 739 in 1983, and 643 in 1986). The reduction in production lines is due to widths below 2 meters. The medium-speed tile line was phased out or rebuilt and replaced by a wide-format high-speed line, so the output declines. Developed countries have widely used computer technology and integrated design of mechanical, electrical, optical, gas, and liquid technologies in the technical fields of corrugated paper box forming mechanism, folding and glueing, geometrical dimensions, parameter adjustment, and specification conversion. There are only a dozen people in a tile line. Management, but the annual output reached several hundred million square meters, a dozen of our top. According to the relatively outdated figures, in the 1990s, the total number of carton plants in the seven countries in the Western World was only 1,140, ​​and there were not many employees, relying on the high-speed and automation of production equipment. In China, the current carton factory in a province is probably more than that. Therefore, the fact that we should soberly realize is that we cannot raise the amount of production, but we must also mention how much is wasted. We cannot just say that we have achieved more provinces and we need to say how much we have lost. Not only is the tile line, but in the packaging industry and even in all industrial sectors, repeated investment and low-level recycling have continued. "Science and technology is the primary productive force," "knowledge is power," and "education is the foundation of the country." It is not outdated. Packaging must consider what to pack and what to pack, but also consider how to package and how to install it. Otherwise, our packaging companies are not only unable to compete with international counterparts, but also compete with their own internal counterparts.

Green packaging and environmental protection once again mentioned on the agenda Huang Shanxiang: In the mid-70s to the mid-80s of the last century, China's export commodities were heavily packed with wooden boxes, especially mechanical and electrical products. At that time, I was responsible for Jiangsu's export packaging. At that time, although it was proposed that "the use of paper instead of wood, plastic to replace wood", but because of the conservative concept, has not been taken seriously. Until 1998, the United States, Canada, and other countries found in the export of wood packaging insects, in September 17th that year, announced the prohibition of China without strict high-temperature fumigation or preservative wood packaging entry, after the EU and Japan have also issued similar ban. The solution to the problem of wood packaging for export commodities is imminent. The relevant government departments have studied the specific countermeasures and clearly proposed to use honeycomb paperboard instead of wood products. As a result, the honeycomb paperboard industry was stimulated by policies and began its revitalization. In the first few years, the development of the cellular industry has had a certain basis for promotion and considerable technical conditions.

However, due to the tenacious resistance of traditional wood packaging, the relevant government departments in recent years have chosen the fumigation road, which not only increases the burden on export companies, but also continues to waste timber resources. The emerging cellular industry has suffered serious setbacks and it is still difficult for cellular companies to become a climate.

Similar behaviors include pulp molding. The habits of the Chinese people are so stubborn that even the government’s policies and the pressure of public opinion can hardly beat it. Taking EPS foam plastic as an example, the white pollution is shocking. It can be said that we are surrounded by white plastic garbage. For example, home air conditioners, China's annual production of about 15 million bars, using EPS foam plastic packing, 2.5 million cubic meters a year, plus television, computers, refrigerators, washing machines and the largest amount of fast food boxes, China's The amount can be said to be the highest in the world. According to the international convention, the 2005 global ban, our government has also signed it and promised responsibility. However, people are worried that if there is another "white ban" action, we must repeat the same mistakes. The "white ban" has become a "white ban," and the wild fire is inexhaustible. The spring breeze is born again. Originally, this verse was pleasant, but at present it is used to describe the proliferation of white garbage, which is ironic.

All heart: The problems you mentioned are very timely and very sharp. It seems that the “policy style” in the past is still gloomy, policies have come, and companies have been booming. However, due to the lack of policies and the protection and support of institutional measures, policies can only be policies. It is impossible to win. As a result, the policy can only become a gust of wind. After a gust of wind, the business is booming. Although tuition fees are always paid, these tuition fees are too high. According to the data, in the two major industries of pulp molding and honeycomb paperboard, as a result of the failure of “white ban”, the number of related companies has gone down by no fewer than 1,000. The production lines that have been shut down or idled are roughly the same, and the direct material wealth has lost several billion yuan. . Authoritative sources in the industry point out that it is not the government policy that is not good, but that the system, mechanism, and legal system are not perfect. For example, in industrialized countries, government governments that deal with environmental pollution not only provide financial, technical, and policy support, but are basically tax-free or low-tax, and some even want to lose money, but they also have to do it. Because the destruction of the environment is difficult to buy back with money. Although some companies enjoy preferential policies here, because pollution is more cost-effective than pollution control, it is difficult for environmental protection companies to become rich. With respect to the recycling of used batteries, it is said that only one company in Baoding has the recovery and refining technology in China, but it is expensive to operate. Therefore, it only took a few months to stop production, and the spent batteries were all over the place.

Huang Shanxiang: In the China-Japan Business Forum held in Suzhou in January this year, protecting the environment and accelerating the development of recycling economy have become the main theme. Modern China is called the “world factory,” and the economy is growing at an average annual rate of 8%, which is truly remarkable. However, experts estimate that the loss of wealth due to environmental pollution is roughly equivalent to 8%-12% of GDP. The pollution of the atmosphere and water quality has become increasingly serious. In 2001, the monitoring results of air pollution in 341 cities across the country had exceeded 101 cities. River water quality testing, which failed to meet the minimum water quality environmental standards, accounted for 44%. Many people believe that as it continues to develop, environmental pollution will not only endanger the health of the Chinese people, but may even cause global environmental problems.

Whatever it is: It is true that the environmental conditions have already brightened the "red light," and our countermeasures have always been one step slower. It cannot always be "first polluted and then remedied." Just like the wages of migrant workers, "arrears first, and then reimbursement," can not take a step forward in the system, the legal system. This requires the relevant government departments to make a living. In the case of paper-making companies, to completely eradicate hazardous substances that exceed the standard in wastewater, only a soda recovery facility can be built. This investment is staggeringly high. If a paper mill with a total investment of 100 million yuan is concerned, then an alkali recovery project is about production. 1.5 times that of equipment, that is, it needs to invest 150 million yuan more. How high is paper profit in the end, so much investment? Therefore, most of the pollution control projects of paper-making companies are in name only because they have to spend money. It is said that Suzhou's environmental protection is well-made, that is, to change the "who pollutes, who govern" to "who polls, who pays." As professional sewage treatment companies rely on the World Bank loan and French technology to unify pollution, not only form a scale, but also gain profits. Many environmental protection companies have made a fortune from waste water, waste gas and waste slag. A virtuous circle has formed. This can be used for reference elsewhere.

There are many topics on the topic of sustainable development of environmental protection and packaging. For example, excessive packaging and excessive packaging waste of resources cause social aversion. Recently, Teng Jicai, the secretary general of the China Consumers Association, told reporters that overpacking of moon cakes in Guangdong and Shenzhen has caused public outrage. However, driven by profits, many companies still compete against each other. You have launched 188 yuan/box. , I introduced 888 yuan / box to 1888 yuan / box of moon cakes, packaging is three layers outside, even using 24K gold platinum decoration, I do not know to eat moon cake, or buy packaging. Related examples are also prominent in the packaging of alcohol, cosmetics, food, medicine, and health products. Not only does it bring boring extra expenses to consumers, it also wastes valuable resources.

In short, the development of the sustainable packaging industry needs the guidance of the government first, and the second is the protection of the system and the law. The third depends on science and technology and capital investment. The fourth depends on the market and users. The fifth depends on the product quality and service spirit. Indispensable, five-in-one, can be achieved.
