Waste paper recycling and import (on)

1 Status and Development Trends of Waste Paper Recycling in China The “Tenth Five-Year Plan” of China's paper industry proposed that the proportion of waste paper utilization should be increased from 41% in 2000 to 48% in 2010, and 55% in 2015. The proportion of domestic waste paper utilization is required. In 2015, it reached 43%. At present, the development of waste paper recycling in China is uneven, and coastal areas have developed rapidly. In 2001, the total amount of waste pulp in the country accounted for 44% of the total amount of paper pulp. After deducting imported waste paper, the domestic waste paper recycling rate was less than 30%. In recent years, the improvement of the utilization rate of waste paper has mainly been based on the import of waste paper, which should attract the attention of relevant parties and need to increase measures to increase the domestic waste paper recycling rate.
The amount of waste paper used in China has increased from 8.1 million tons in 1995 to 16.38 million tons in 2001, which has doubled in five years. However, there are still gaps compared with some foreign countries with large amounts of waste paper. The main reasons and problems in the rapid growth of waste paper use in China:
(1) National industrial policy adjustment. Investing heavily in the development of the paper industry and promoting the expansion of waste paper pulp and paper.
(2) The domestic publishing and packaging industry is booming. Demand for paper and paperboard continues to grow, and raw pulp supply is insufficient. Waste paper must be used to meet market demand.
(3) China's forest resources are very scarce. The main raw material for papermaking is insufficient wood supply. The output of domestic wood pulp is about 2 million tons, which needs to be supplemented by imported wood pulp and waste paper. Although the tree planting and afforestation has received the attention of state leaders and relevant departments, planting trees cannot be matured within 1 to 2 years, and fast-growing materials can take 5 to 6 years at the earliest. It also involves funds, land, water resources, policies and other issues, such as To cut a large area, the fastest will be after 2010. Therefore, it is very necessary to import wood pulp and waste paper containing wood pulp.
(4) Waste paper pulping and papermaking have many advantages. It not only improves product quality, but also reduces construction investment and production costs.
(5) Waste paper pulp and paper is beneficial to environmental protection.
(6) The capacity of new large-scale pulp and paper manufacturing companies in China is increasing. According to statistical data, there are 33 boxboard board production lines with an annual output of more than 50,000 tons from 2000 to 2004, and the total amount is expected to be 4.2 million tons. There are also newsprint, cultural printing papers, and household paper construction projects. At the same time, more than 40 sets of large-scale waste paper processing lines have been introduced from abroad, with a total annual processing capacity of more than 5 million tons, and a large number of small and medium-sized waste paper processing lines. The amount of waste paper in China will be further expanded in the future.
At present, China's waste paper recycling rate is low, management is unscientific, acquisition is chaotic, prices are confusing, there is no classification, there are many impurities, there is no standard to comply with, and the supply scale is small and disorganized. It is necessary to speed up the formulation of laws, regulations and standards, and implement legal management.
2 Making full use of foreign waste paper resources The amount of waste paper imported by China has increased from 1.92 million tons in 1998 to 6.42 million tons in 2001. In 2002, it will exceed 7.5 million tons, which has quadrupled in four years. This is a development of China's paper industry. Played a positive role. At the same time as significant increase in imported waste paper, existing problems and countermeasures to be taken:
2.1 With the continuous improvement of environmental awareness and the rapid development of waste paper recycling technology in various countries, foreign companies are increasingly paying attention to the recycling of waste paper. In 2000, the total volume of global waste paper trade was close to 20 million tons. The United States, Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands were the major exporting countries, of which the United States exported nearly 10 million tons, accounting for 50% of the total exports. In 2010, the world's paper and board consumption is forecasted at 4.8f, and tons of recovered paper will be about 230 million tons. The amount of waste paper used as trade will also increase, but the increase in exports will not be too large. (To be continued)
