    Paper packaging has always played an important role in daily life, ranging from refrigerators, televisions and other household appliances to radios and MP3s. The outer packaging of almost all products is paper products.


    After the implementation of the plastic limit order, the application range of paper products has been expanded. The original plastic packaging shopping bags gradually withdrew in the domestic market and replaced them with paper-wrapped shopping bags. Plastic bags have gradually become the most unpopular products. Because if the merchant wants to use the plastic products for the customers, then it is necessary to charge the corresponding fees. For the consumers, the original "free" service suddenly has to pay extra fees, which is difficult to make people feel interested, which virtually reduces the desire for consumption. It is not difficult to understand why many merchants have replaced the original plastic packaging with paper packaging, because this can be provided to consumers free of charge.


    For a time, the consumption of paper packaging products suddenly increased.


    However, the application of paper packaging products is not limited to this. Since the beginning of this year, the requirements of the EU market for the packaging of goods have gradually increased. Not only requires, under reasonable circumstances, to minimize the impractical packaging in the goods, but also requires the materials used for packaging to be degradable, recyclable, etc., otherwise it will not be imported. In addition, it is clearly stated that “for example, in China, when packaging TV sets and motorcycle products, in addition to the usual carton packaging, a molded foam is used as a packaging for fixing and protecting the fuselage. This kind of packaging will not work in the EU. Because foam products are very difficult to handle, they can cause environmental pollution."


    This also gives us a clear signal that we need to find more reliable and environmentally friendly materials instead.


    Paper products are again candidates.


    Compared with plastic products, paper products can be recycled, can be used twice, and can be degraded even if discarded. The "shockproof" function of paper products is also reflected in the egg tray. Such "fragile" eggs can still be "returned" under the protection of the paper tray, and other products will naturally not have any damage. This is undoubtedly a huge business opportunity for paper product manufacturers. And, in addition, more and more paper products have been developed. The “environmental chair” made of recycled milk packaging that can be seen everywhere in the World Expo has pushed the application of paper packaging products to a new climax.


    With the gradual replacement of plastic products by paper products, people's requirements for paper packaging are getting higher and higher. The simplest packaging of original brown-yellow paper boxes with monochrome characters can no longer meet the current needs. The development of the IT industry is also transforming the demand for paper packaging in a refined and refined manner.


    On the other hand, the wide-ranging application of paper products also raises a new question. Is paper products really more environmentally friendly than plastic products? It is undeniable that in the later stage of packaging processing, paper products are undoubtedly possessed compared with plastic products. Great advantage. However, if traced back, the raw materials of the two products, paper products will be questioned. According to public data, one ton of pulp is needed for every 40,000 paper lunch boxes, and more than 300 cubic meters of trees need to be felled. The papermaking process will form water pollution, and paper products will not cause forest loss and rivers again. The situation of pollution?


    Just like the food chain in nature, every step is interlocking. If you rashly change a part of the food chain, it will inevitably lead to an imbalance in the entire food chain. And if you want to eliminate this imbalance, you need the entire food chain to "work together." In the same way, rashly withdrawing the plastic products in the entire chain and replacing them with paper products is by no means a good way to cure the symptoms. Planting trees, reducing pollution in the paper industry, recycling paper products, and only taking action at every stage can truly complete the balance transformation of the entire chain.
