What are the trends of plastic products for the next few years?
Packaging plastic products: packaging is still the largest field of plastic applications, and its development is still much more than other traditional packaging materials. Cement, fertilizer production in China ranks first in the world, currently more than 50% composite cement packaging bags, and mineral products, chemical products, synthetic resin, salt, sugar, cotton and wool packaging etc.. Due to the lack of paper and jute resources in China, plastic packaging as the main packaging material is an inevitable trend.
Plastic products: plastic building materials can not only energy-saving benefit of a generation of steel and wood, instead of the traditional building materials, but also has the energy saving and material saving, ecological protection, improve the living environment, improve the building function and quality, reduce the dead weight of the building, the advantages of convenient construction. The energy saving efficiency of plastics is very prominent, and its energy saving benefits are manifested in two aspects: saving energy consumption and using energy consumption. In the production of energy consumption calculation, energy consumption of plastic products such as steel and aluminum production of 1/4 and 1/8, PVC hard plastic production energy consumption is only 30%~50% of the cast iron pipe and steel pipe, plastic pipe to reduce the energy consumption of production can reach about 50% than that of the metal pipe.
Some analysts predict that, from now to 2015, plastic raw material resin in China will have a rapid growth, the expansion of large ethylene project of several world level, the total amount of ethylene in 11th Five-Year reached 8 million 500 thousand tons, synthetic resin increases greatly, provided the raw material base for plastic products from the per capita industrial development; consumption, China's per capita consumption is only about 12kg, while in developed countries is 30kg~100kg, the world average consumption is up to 18kg. Therefore, the prospects for the development of China's plastics industry is very broad. In the past 10 years, the application field of plastic products in the world has been expanding. In the next 10 years, the world's plastic products will grow at an annual rate of 3%. By 2010, the total output of plastic products in the world will reach 1.86 tons.
