Views: Date:2012-8-8
2,000 years ago, the Chinese invented papermaking. Today, more than 2,000 years after China's paper industry has been ranked as the world map. In the top 100 global paper industry, Chinese companies have occupied nine seats. Chinese paper and board consumption has accounted for 25% of the world's total. Production of paper products in China as early as 2009 had already exceeded 80 million tons, more than the United States to become the first products in the world producing countries. China has from Paper ancient "into the paper industry in the country.
However, in recent years, China's paper industry has experience with both internal and external. The one hand, paper products frequently encountered in Europe and the United States and other countries of the "double-anti-investigation barriers; the other hand, the Chinese paper industry raw materials import dependency is high, the price of lack of the right to speak. At the same time, in the national phase out backward production capacity, the policy background, many companies take the initiative to change, trying to find the road of sustainable development in the transformation and upgrading.
Encountered difficulties
In recent years, international suppliers continue to raise the price of wood pulp, paper industry profits have been squeezed. Industry experts believe that the paper industry raw materials may become the second iron ore following the steel industry in China.
It is understood that 40% of the demand for wood in China rely on imports, dependence. This makes China's paper industry is the international monopoly power to strangle the throat, loss of the price the right to speak, raw materials suffered a security crisis.
Chinese enterprises in the international market and repeatedly rebuffed serious barriers to trade. Require attention, China's paper industry is facing pressure from the direct pressure of technical standards, changes in environmental standards and technical standards for both the dual pressures of China's forest industry and forest and paper industry is also facing the same challenges. Shi Feng, Secretary-General of the China National Forest Product Industry Association, said the international forest certification system often become a "non-tariff barriers to trade, to hinder the formation of forest and paper products exports.
At the same time, the domestic situation is equally bleak. 2010, the state through administrative means to carry out large-scale phase out backward production capacity of action, this is undoubtedly a blow to many SMEs. Transfer mode, adjust the structure is a general trend. The country's "iron fist" action, but also to the paper industry in the future development put forward higher requirements. The expense of the environment, the paper will be eliminated, and the new modern paper industry will be promising.
Explore the way out
Polluting industries, only the polluting enterprises. Some paper companies have begun to explore the transformation and upgrading of the road.
Sinar Mas Group Asia Pulp & Paper (APP) is one of the world's leading pulp and paper enterprises, to join the Chinese market in the 1990s. APP (China), director Zhang Exhibition: traditional paper two high modern paper is two type of a green, modern paper industry is the recycling economy, low carbon economy, green, sustainable development, it is completely possible resources regeneration, waste recycling in paper mills, wastewater fish become the industry's brother's wife, and industrial tourism demonstration sites.
Zhang Fair said this modern papermaking process, in fact, is the integrated pulp and paper industry. It turned out the three links of separation of the forest, pulp, paper together to form a paper-Yang Lin, Lin promote paper industry chain. This is not just planting trees, the simple process of making paper, the comprehensive utilization of the forest, on the development of biomass energy is in the green industry chain. This paper industry, already North America, Northern Europe and other developed countries adopted.
China's forest resources are limited, certainly does not work, rely on felling of natural forests and forest resources in China and will further increase import dependency.
