In recent years, the share of plastic packaging and plastic packaging products in the market is increasing. Common plastic packaging films include PVA coated high barrier films, cast polypropylene films, polyester films, low density polyethylene films, biaxially oriented polypropylene films, and the like.
The emergence of plastics from the beginning is not accustomed to the present can not be separated, at present, the proportion of plastic packaging in the total output value of the packaging industry has exceeded 30%, becoming a force in the packaging industry, under the promotion of the continuous development of the new era, plastic Not only packaging, but also a trend, it will replace more materials in the future.
More than just packaging for years, specific materials seem to be suitable for specific applications: soups in metal cans, red wine in glass bottles, and coffee in paper cups. But innovations in plastic packaging have put plastics into areas that were once dominated by other materials.
GoSoups of Campbell Company (the largest concentrate soup canning company in the United States) is the company's first concentrate soup package in flexible stand-up bags. This package has a larger surface area than traditional soup packaging. In addition, the bottom of this custom pouch is fitted with gussets to help the entire package stand on the shelf or in the microwave. At the same time, consumers can see the interior's unique materials through such packaging.
Glass bottles that will replace more materials are undoubtedly still the preferred form of packaging for red wine, but in some areas where glass is not allowed (such as sports events and aircraft), plastic packaging solves the problems of the wine industry. One example is the patented packaging of Zipz, which is made of food-grade PET and looks very much like a traditional glass bottle. It is also 100% recyclable.
We are accustomed to drinking coffee in paper cups, but in the near future you may be strongly attracted to plastic coffee cups because Berry Plastic's Versalite is fully recyclable and PP will be made into disposable plastic cups. In the future, plastic will undoubtedly continue to replace more materials in other markets in the packaging field.
Potential demand for recycled resins is huge According to Freedonia Group's forecast, demand for post-consumer recycled plastics in the United States will increase at a compound annual growth rate of 6.5%, reaching 3.5 billion tons by 2016. In 2016, packaging will remain the main market for recycled plastics, and plastic bottles will remain the most important resource for plastic recycling, accounting for more than half of the total recycling volume.
At the same time, Freedonia Group pointed out that the overall plastic recycling rate in the United States is still relatively low, and by 2016, the recycling volume will be less than 7% of the total plastic demand.
In 2011, PET and HDPE were the two most widely used resins in plastic recycling products, accounting for more than 70% of total demand. With the increase in the recovery of beverage bottles and thermoformed containers, the market demand for recycled PET will remain above average.
Holmes pointed out that the market demand for recycled resins is very large. SPI has conducted a survey this year, and nearly 68% of respondents said that customers require it to supply recycled resin. In particular in the packaging industry, California's rigid packaging law states that most packages require 25% recycled resin.
Although there are certain difficulties in obtaining recycled plastics, the quantity is still limited, but if each side of the supply chain can communicate with each other and work together, the utilization rate of recycled plastics in the packaging industry in 2014 will certainly increase. This is for either party. It is a win-win thing. As we move toward higher goals, there are countless people who are hungry, and the food waste phenomenon is endless. Packaging plays an important role in helping to resolve this conflict. According to a new report released by the Institute of Mechanical Engineers, nearly 50% (2 billion tons) of food produced each year in the world is eventually wasted.
According to the report, a large number of wastes are attributed to multiple factors: inadequate infrastructure, excessively strict shelf life for food storage, buy-one-get-one-off campaigns, consumers looking for food, and purchasing food. NRDC released an analysis report, pointing out that 40% of the food in the United States is discarded, which is equivalent to US$165 billion in wasted annually. Solving the problem of food waste requires some methods that everyone can do. For the packaging industry, this is a real opportunity. The packaging industry can provide innovative packaging in different sizes to extend the shelf life of food while ensuring the recyclability of the packaging. Many packaging suppliers are committed to innovation in this area, using packaging to better protect food and extend shelf life.
Conclusion: The plastic packaging market is gradually on the right track, and the development prospects are promising. As the largest one in the plastics application field, its development speed has grown stronger and it has surpassed other packaging materials such as cardboard and metal. In the future, it is believed that the market will become increasingly grow.
