Plastic soft packaging is expected to maintain good growth in the future
Dosage of plastics industry in the world, the largest is the packaging enterprises, general plastic total dosage of 25% 70%, with plastic industry is most developed in the United States, Japan and Germany, for example, packing plastics account for 27.2% of the total consumption, 32.8% and 27.2%, and the plastic packaging accounts for about 25% of the plastic consumption.
Plastic flexible packaging advantages as: qualitative light, soft, less waste, occupies the space is little, the cost is low and cost effectiveness, and thus more comprtitive than rigid package, plastic material in the direction of development is to improve the performance, reduce cost and environmentally friendly.
With plastic new varieties, new brand development, processing technology and mechanical improvements, improve the performance of materials and packaging products, can reduce material consumption and cost, and meets the requirement of people to the environment.
According to European plastic manufacturers association study, nearly 10 years, used for packaging plastic weight fell by 28% on average, reduce the dosage of more than 1.8 million tons a year, save the resources, the plastic packaging film is the most effective, account for more than 70% of savings, European annual consumption of 66.4 million tons of packaging materials, including plastic is 11.6 million tons, accounting for 17%, 50% of the packaged goods.
So it can be said that the plastic especially plastic flexible packaging is the most effective way to reduce the packing weight, reduce weight and even bigger than recycling repeat dosage, the reasonable use of resources on the biggest role.
Plastic magazine in Germany when it comes to the importance of plastic flexible packaging on food packaging, points out that it has become a part of culture, in addition to the packaging function, it can also prevent damaged by packaging, reduce the demand for safekeeping, provides consumers with information, more efficient service for the customer, to facilitate household goods management, and easy to store and transport. This can be achieved by the following Numbers: 30% to 50% of the food in developing countries damage during storage and transportation, while the west developed countries at present is only 1% to 2% of plastic flexible packaging market due to its plastic flexible packaging good comprehensive performance and cost performance, make it become one of the fastest-growing breeds in packaging.
It can be seen that the average annual growth rate of plastic soft packaging consumption is higher than that of other packaging methods, not only faster than paper packaging, but also more than plastic hard packaging. Famous business communications company in the United States "and the plastic flexible packaging industry" provides data for the special report: total dosage of plastic flexible packaging market in the world only 2001 of 6.31 million tons, far the largest food packaging, dosage of 1.68 million tons.
In short, colorful plastic flexible packaging, with its excellent comprehensive performance, replacing the other packaging, use growing, reasonable price and good for the environment and become one of the fastest growing in the packaging industry products, in the next few years will continue to maintain the good momentum of growth.
In order to improve the market competitiveness, the plastic soft packaging will be developed in the direction of thin-walled and high-energy, and the multi-layer composite membrane demand will grow faster than the ordinary single-layer film. Advances in the development and processing of plastic new brand and advances in plastic soft-packaging technology. The application prospect of polyethylene film and bidirectional tensile polypropylene film on packaging is the most promising.
