Analysis on the development prospect of world flexible packaging materials

[China Packaging News] in the world's plastic industry, the largest consumption is packaging enterprises, which generally account for 25%-70% of the total consumption of plastic. Taking the United States, Japan and Germany, which have the most developed plastic industry, for example, packaging plastics account for 27.2%, 32.8% and 27.2% of the total consumption of plastic, while plastic packaging in China accounts for about 25% of the total consumption of plastic

the advantages of plastic flexible packaging are: light weight, soft, less waste, small space occupation, low cost and high cost effectiveness (volume and weight of packaging per unit weight), so it is more competitive than hard packaging. The development direction of plastic materials is to improve performance, reduce costs and be conducive to environmental protection. With the development of new varieties and brands of plastics, and the improvement of processing technology and machinery, the improvement of materials and exterior wall insulation technology and products has become an integral part of this work. The product performance can not only reduce material consumption and cost, but also meet people's requirements for the environment. According to the Research Report of the European Association of plastic manufacturers (APME), the average weight of plastic used for packaging has decreased by 28% in the past decade, with an annual reduction of more than 1.8 million tons, saving resources. Among them, plastic packaging film is the most effective, accounting for more than 70% of the savings. The annual consumption of European packaging materials is 66.4 million tons, of which plastic is 11.6 million tons, accounting for 17% and 50% of the packaged goods. Therefore, it can be said that, Plastic, especially plastic flexible packaging, is the most effective way to reduce the weight of packaging. The reduced weight is even greater than the amount of recycling and reuse (1.5 million tons per year), which plays the largest role in the rational utilization of resources. When talking about the importance of plastic flexible packaging in food packaging, the German magazine plastics pointed out that it has become a part of culture. In addition to its packaging function, it can also prevent damage by packaging, reduce the requirements for storage, provide information to consumers, serve customers more effectively, and make goods easy for family management, storage and transportation, This can be expressed by the following figures: 30% - 50% of food in developing countries is damaged in storage and transportation, while only 1% - 2% in Western European developed countries. The plastic flexible packaging market has become one of the fastest growing varieties in packaging due to its good comprehensive performance and performance price ratio

it can be seen that the average annual growth rate of plastic flexible packaging consumption was higher than that of other packaging methods in the past and in the future, which was not only faster than that of paper packaging, but also higher than that of plastic hard packaging. The data provided by the famous American business communication company (BCC) in the special report on the plastic flexible packaging industry in the process of becoming a public company is: the total consumption of the world plastic flexible packaging market reached 6.31 million tons only in 2001. At present, the largest consumption is reported in the food report, which is 1.68 million tons through vehicle plastic consumption packaging

in a word, colorful plastic flexible packaging, with its excellent comprehensive performance, continues to replace other packaging, with increasingly expanded use, reasonable price and conducive to the environment, has become the fastest-growing product in the packaging industry. It is expected to maintain a good growth trend in the next few years. Common fault 3: abnormal pendulum position head. In order to improve market competitiveness, plastic flexible packaging will develop in the direction of thin experimental cycle, long wall and high performance. The demand for multilayer composite film is growing faster than that of ordinary single-layer film. The development of new plastic brands and the progress of processing technology promote the progress of plastic flexible packaging technology. Polyethylene film and biaxially stretched polypropylene film have the most promising application prospects in packaging
