As of 2016, the amount of "three wastes" in the papermaking industry has continuously declined, and the processing technology has matured. In modern papermaking industry, not only plant raw materials are derived from carbon dioxide in the air, but after the extraction of plant fibers, wastes in the production process can also be fully converted into biomass energy. After cogeneration, they are used and sold. The proportion of biomass energy is high. Pulping chemicals can also be used in almost all recycling cycles. In addition to imported paper pulp, China's papermaking production materials mainly use forestry “three leftovers”, miscellaneous bamboo, plutonium, bagasse, agricultural waste straw, waste paper and other raw materials. It is a typical comprehensive utilization industry for waste resources. By 2016, China's production capacity with an international advanced level has accounted for 70%.
The recycling of waste paper also fully reflects the natural recyclable property. It is called the “second forest”. Under modern technology, the waste from the waste paper pulping process can be fully utilized, and the waste paper raw materials in China have already taken up. To 65%. Modern pulp and paper technology is moving the paper industry away from the ranks of “high resource consumption and high environmental risks”.
China's implementation of the most stringent international standards for pollutant discharge, paper industry enterprises to ensure that the treatment of pollutants and discharge standards meet the general adoption of a large number of high-cost extreme governance measures. In addition, the energy consumption, water consumption, and emissions of solid, liquid, and gas pollutants from a large number of newly-built enterprises are only a fraction of the original level, and even one-tenth.
In 2017, meeting diverse consumer needs is the key to the future
According to the requirements of the “three products” strategy of the consumer goods industry to “add variety, improve quality, create brand”, the papermaking association has its own future work plan. In terms of increasing variety, the Paper Association will guide and promote the further enhancement of new product development capabilities and brand building capabilities. In terms of improving quality, the association’s focus will be on upgrading uncoated printing paper, packaging paper and paperboard, and specialties. Paper and board product quality and optimization of the structure of these varieties. The purpose of these tasks is to enable the paper industry to meet the needs of a diversified consumer market and create high, refined, unique and differentiated paper and paperboard product structures.
At the same time, the Paper Association also stated that it will make full use of the opportunities brought by the Internet era to explore new modes of “Internet + marketing, production and logistics” for paper and paper products, providing more flexible and flexible product choices and more convenient and quicker for the society. service.
The next step is to implement a sustainable development strategy for the papermaking industry, utilize the low-carbon, green, and recyclable nature of the papermaking industry, protect resources and the environment, and build a green science and technology innovation-oriented, resource-conserving, and environment-friendly paper industry.
Guangdong Province disclosed this year's paper production capacity elimination plan and environmental protection measures
Recently, the first press conference was held at the Fifth Session of the Twelfth National People's Congress of Guangdong Province. During the visit, Wu Dongwen, deputy director of the Economic and Information Commission of Guangdong Province and Lu Xiulu, director of the Provincial Environmental Protection Agency, disclosed the priorities of the two departments in the paper industry this year.
According to Director Wu Dongwen, there were two major categories of indicators for the elimination of backward production capacity in Guangdong Province last year. The first category was the disposal of “zombie enterprises” indicators, and the second largest category was the elimination of papermaking and other production capacity. The goal of Guangdong last year was to eliminate seven papermaking companies. After a year's efforts, in addition to the clearing of seven paper-making enterprises, the total elimination of backward papermaking capacity reached 96.58 million tons, far exceeding the set target.
During the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” period, Guangdong will continue to eliminate obsolete and surplus production capacity, strengthen industrial production capacity in the Pearl River Delta and the east, west and north of Guangdong, and promote the level of industrial cooperation in the direction of industry, strengthen international production capacity cooperation, and promote corporate finance. Business restructuring, and establish a long-term mechanism to strengthen the level of legal management.
In addition, Guangdong Province will also introduce a series of tough measures to deal with severe pollution weather governance. According to Lu Xilu, director of the Provincial Environmental Protection Agency, according to the requirements of the country, Guangdong should continue to improve the atmosphere while already achieving a relatively low level of regional pollutants. Including further increasing control over industrial policies, energy policies, industrial parks, and surface sources, it emphasized that no new coal and electricity will be added to the Pearl River Delta, the elimination of coal-fired boilers, and the prohibition of the use of petroleum coke. The aim is to basically eliminate severely contaminated weather by 2020 and stably meet the requirements of the national air quality standards. PM2.5 in Shenzhen and other cities is the first to achieve the WHO standard of 25 μg/m3.
