Food packaging paper
Entering the new century, with the entry of international large-scale fast food chains and international food enterprises into the domestic market, they have continued the foreign requirements for the safety of food packaging paper and introduced the food packaging paper industry chain into China. In recent years, China has entered the ranks of middle-income countries, and the demand and market size of food packaging paper have seen rapid growth. Economic development, population growth and the upgrading of residents' consumption have driven the continuous expansion of the food packaging paper market. According to incomplete statistics, by 2018, the domestic production of various types of food packaging paper was about 1.805 million tons, showing a steady growth trend. Food safety is related to people's health. Primary packaging is in long-term contact with food or food-like products during production, circulation and storage, and must meet high safety and hygiene requirements. Due to various reasons, there has long been inadequate safety supervision of food packaging in China. The extensive use of ordinary packaging paper in the food field poses potential risks to people's health. With the continuous maturation of the public's consumption concepts and the continuous improvement of the policy environment, food packaging paper is about to enter a new round of high-speed growth.
The popularization of environmental protection concepts and the promotion of environmental protection industry policies have further increased the penetration rate of food paper packaging. Compared with hard packaging materials such as metal and glass, paper packaging is lightweight, soft, low-cost, and more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly in production. In developed countries in Europe and America, paper soft packaging is widely used in food, liquids, fruits and vegetables, etc. According to statistics, the market size of paper soft packaging in the United States was close to 35 billion US dollars in 2017, accounting for about 24% of the total output value of the packaging industry. On the other hand, compared with plastic, paper materials have the advantages of being easy to recycle and degrade, making them more environmentally friendly. With the gradual increase in environmental protection requirements, the use of plastic products will be gradually restricted, and paper or paper-plastic composites will become packaging materials that are vigorously promoted.
The new type of food packaging paper is produced by deepening and modifying the ordinary paper through biochemical treatment with nanotechnology to reach the food packaging grade. It has low cost, good effect and an environmentally friendly processing process without pollution. The product is widely used in products such as biscuit boxes, medicine boxes and cosmetic boxes that have requirements for the environmental safety of paper. The entire process of this technology is environmentally friendly, without generating pollutants such as waste gas, waste water and waste oil. The production is safe and reliable, and the economic benefits are obvious. Currently, our company has cooperated with companies such as Shanghai Unilever Group, Guangdong Pioneer Pharmaceutical Group, Samsung Group Huizhou Company and Guangdong Kaiton Food Co., Ltd., achieving good results and obtaining product recognition. There are two major regional markets for this type of product in China: the East China market and the South China market. Among them, the East China market has the largest capacity, mainly concentrated in Shanghai, Suzhou, Wuxi, Hangzhou and other places.
Moreover, with the continuous release of regulatory documents on food and drug packaging by the state and the further awakening of the public to food safety, the application scope of plastic products will be restricted and narrowed. The demand for food-grade packaging paper will surely increase rapidly in the future. In this regard, Western developed countries have taken the lead over us. In the European and American markets, the proportion of food-grade packaging paper, including both direct and indirect contact types, in food packaging is about 78%, while in China it is only about 10%. Currently, the proportion of food-grade paper used in China is only about one-eighth of that in Europe and America. Many foods still use non-food-grade paper as a substitute, which is harmful to consumers' health. Therefore, the market prospect of this product is broad and the future growth space is huge.
