With the rapid development of the economy, the plastics industry has also rapidly applied to all walks of life, becoming the second largest packaging material for the packaging industry.

Plastic packaging has not only become one of the main packaging materials in the field of consumer goods, but also gradually expanded to various production areas and transportation packaging fields. According to a research report by the Freedonia Market Consulting Company, the fastest growing areas of plastic packaging are beverages and pet food, followed by confectionery, baked goods and frozen foods, as well as the detergent market and industrial packaging; in a research report in Europe It is also the most used food and beverage plastic packaging.

For the rough classification of current plastic packaging products, they can be mainly divided into three categories: plastic film, plastic bottles (containers), industrial plastic packaging.

Plastic film is not only a packaging industry, but also an indispensable raw material in the production of many other industries. As one of the four packaging materials, its position in the packaging industry is indistinguishable from paper. Plastic film occupies a large part of the packaging material market with its excellent "price-performance ratio" advantage, mainly because it has obvious "irreplaceability".

The advantages and disadvantages of a single plastic film material are very obvious, but with the application of composite technology and new catalysts, more and more new materials and different composite materials have been developed and widely used to form multilayer plastic film materials. The big change has changed the development of the traditional plastic film industry. New polyolefin materials developed at home and abroad include: metallocene PE, ultra low density polyethylene MULDPE, special elastomer PE, hexene-1 (C6) and octene-1 (C8) LLDPE copolymer, metallocene Innovative LLDPE resin, cyclic olefin copolymer (COC), metallocene PP, high strength and high transparent MPP, high melt strength polypropylene (HMSPP), etc. combined with catalyst technology and bimodal technology.

Although plastic bottles (containers) face the impact of paper-plastic composite packaging, glass bottles and metal cans in the dairy and beverage fields, they still occupy an absolute advantage in the market, especially in the detergent market, which is almost a plastic container. With the development of PET bottle processing and manufacturing technology, the reverse "aggression" of the beer bottle market and the dairy product market began. These new technology hotspots are just beginning to start, but they will soon become the new favorite of the market.

Industrial plastic packaging is mainly used to replace the traditional transportation materials market. On the one hand, it has replaced the disposable paper packaging materials in the original industrial system with its excellent recyclability, which is also beneficial to the entire industrial system. Constant market segmentation, processing and manufacturing industries are increasingly focused, vertical depth is increased, resulting in multi-point, oriented, complementary parts of the transportation form, but also the use of new recycling packaging conditions, especially in automotive parts The industry has also begun to gradually penetrate into the industrial fields such as communication equipment and electronic appliances. On the other hand, the original blister packaging materials commonly used in toys and small electronics industries have also begun to move into the field of high-end cosmetic packaging with the application of new materials and the deepening and improvement of processing and manufacturing processes, gradually replacing some paper packaging. effect.

In this way, plastic packaging materials should be more aggressive, but the "double-edged sword" of plastic packaging materials also causes plastic packaging materials to face the shortage of energy resources and environmental impact. Including the prejudice of plastic materials, these are the challenges that the plastic packaging industry needs to face. Faced with these challenges, if the environmental protection of the plastics industry is sustainable, the plastic packaging is reduced and lightened, and the processing and manufacturing of plastic products is lean and automated, it should be able to solve the dilemma faced by the plastic packaging industry.

Environmentally sustainable is to make the manufacturing and processing of plastic packaging materials more sustainable and environmentally friendly, and truly reduce the harm to the environment. This is not only a simple way to reduce the amount of plastic packaging materials, but also needs to start from the source of production, energy saving, clean production, reduce waste production, increase recycling, increase degradation or recycling mechanisms, etc. The establishment and improvement of the system. In fact, this is the most important point, but to solve this problem, you must properly solve the following two points.

Reduced weight and light weight, simple understanding is to ensure the plastic packaging performance and the use of the effect, as much as possible to use less plastic materials, so that the weight of plastic packaging products. The development of new material grades and high-performance, versatile materials has made it possible to reduce weight reduction. Even if the economic aggregate of the plastic packaging industry declines to a certain extent, such economic value is higher, which is the direction for the development of China's packaging industry. Leaning and automation of plastic products processing and manufacturing is to properly implement energy conservation and consumption, adopt clean production and reduce waste production from the source of manufacture. At the same time, it can fully solve the problem of overcapacity in the existing plastic packaging industry, and can further consolidate the plastic packaging manufacturing industry, and in the future can make "real meaning" of China's intellectual creation.
