Plastic Packaging in China

After more than 30 years of development, China's plastic packaging film industry has formed a certain scale, occupying an important position in the packaging market, and played a positive role in the construction of the national economy.

A trend of large-scale development, a combination of capital and regional advantages, and a most important factor of innovation are the driving forces for the plastic packaging development.

Plastic packaging and plastic packaging products are been widely used in food, medicine, chemical and other fields. Among them, food packaging accounts for the largest proportion: beverage packaging, frozen food packaging, steamed food packaging, fast food packaging, etc., these products have brought great convenience to people's lives.

Among the many factors in today's market competition, product quality, price, and packaging design are the three main factors. Packaging promotes the overall image of a product as much as advertising. It has many functions such as beautifying goods, protecting goods, and facilitating the circulation of goods. Plastic film is widely used in packaging and printing according to its inherently gorgeous color, novel pattern, high transparency, good strength and good chemical resistance.

Today, after China goverment promulgated the "plastic ban" in 2008 and the increasing soaring price of oil, the non-petroleum-based "corn plastic", which is fully degradable and is synonymous with polylactic acid, has become the trend for a new era of plastic packaging. It adopts the high strength characteristics of polylactic acid in completely degradable plastics and then developing to a thin type of package film. While reducing resource consumption, it pays attention to environmental protection and develops strategic ideas for fully degradable products.

From the perspective of foreign technology development, in addition to agricultural films and fresh-keeping films, polylactic acid has a substitution advantage in the fields of PET and PP packaging such as candy, tobacco, and tea, which can greatly improve China's ability to resist white pollution and form an industrial chain , Which will lead to a comprehensive technical update of agriculture, degradable plastics, and packaging materials.
