The 2019 anniversary of the founding of New China is also a crucial year for building a well-off society in an all-round way. The Central Economic Work Conference proposed that we must unswervingly build a manufacturing powerhouse and take the promotion of high-quality manufacturing as the top of the seven key tasks. As a national economy basic industry closely related to people's lives, how the paper industry realizes a strategic transformation and moves towards a green sustainable development path has become a major issue of common concern of the whole society.

Whether it is a book in the classroom, a novel in leisure, or a paper towel accompanied by food, the festive lanterns and the Spring Festival couplets represent the little "good luck" in the life, paper tape, or Everyone is looking forward to the express delivery... paper and cardboard are everywhere in life. It is such an industry that is closely related to life. In many people's minds, it is labeled as highly polluting and energy-intensive.

Few people know that the emission standards of China's paper industry have basically reached the international advanced level. As early as 2006 to 2015, the paper industry's wastewater discharge has dropped from 3.74 billion tons to 2.36 billion tons, a decrease of 36.78%; COD emissions decreased from 1.5532 million tons to 335,400 tons, a year-on-year decrease of 78.41 million. %; the comprehensive utilization of solid waste has reached more than 99% of the production volume, and the discharge of industrial solid waste has dropped from 70,000 tons to nearly zero. Duan Ning, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and one of the founders of China's cleaner production, said that the entire industry "has undergone earth-shaking changes."

Transforming green sustainable development "The industry has undergone earth-shaking changes"

On February 22, at the launching ceremony of the China Papermaking Sustainable Development Forum and the White Paper on Sustainable Development of China's Paper Industry sponsored by China Paper Association and China News Publishing Media Group, Zhang Chonghe emphasized that the paper industry is a basic raw material industry. It is an integral part of China's light industry, plays an important role in the national economy, and plays an important role in promoting material and spiritual civilization.

Moreover, the consumption level of paper and paperboard is an important indicator to measure the degree of economy and civilization of a country. Consumption is directly and indirectly affected by various fields of society, so it is called “social and economic barometer”. At present, developed countries or industrial powers have built a strong paper industry, which is one of the pillar industries in their economy. Per capita consumption of paper and cardboard is an important indicator of a country's overall economic strength. In 2017, the per capita consumption of paper and paperboard in the world was about 57 kg/year, and that of China was 78 kg/year, which was 15 kg/year higher than that in 2008. Although China's per capita consumption level exceeds the world average, it is still less than the per capita consumption of 150-300 kg/year in developed countries.

The white paper shows that the raw materials used in papermaking today are all renewable resources. The “three surplus” of forestry (harvesting surplus, residual materials and processing residues), waste paper, agricultural straw, sugarcane bagasse in sugar industry and large-scale recycling of solid waste in paper industry make China's paper industry mainly 77% of the raw materials are derived from various types of solid waste, about 20% of the energy comes from solid waste, and about 70% to 99% of the pulping chemicals are derived from the solid waste generated in the papermaking process. Through clean production, “forestry, bamboo industry, agriculture, etc. – pulp and biomass energy – paper products – waste paper – recycled pulp – paper and biomass energy” form a complete benign circular economy industry. chain.

Has developed into a technology-intensive industry

The technology and equipment level of more than 70% of the production capacity has reached the international advanced level.

Zhao Wei, chairman of the China Paper Association, said that in the 70 years of the founding of New China, especially in the 40 years of China's reform and opening up, the Chinese paper industry has created an unprecedented development miracle. Paper production has increased from more than 100,000 tons in the early days of the founding of New China, less than 4 million tons in the early days of reform and opening up to over 100 million tons, and achieved a basic balance between total production and consumption in 2008, and completely bid farewell to paper. Long-term dependence on the era of "foreign paper." At present, there are hundreds of paper types produced in China, which can basically meet the needs of the domestic market. Because paper has obvious performance, cost and environmental advantages, various papers are widely used in industries, agriculture, cultural education, publishing, military and other fields. The development of the paper industry guarantees economic development and people's growing needs for a better life.

What is more noteworthy is that the paper industry has advanced technology and equipment, eliminated backward production capacity, and provided guarantees for the improvement of resource utilization and environmental governance. In the past ten years, papermaking has eliminated more than 40 million tons of backward production capacity. At present, the technology and equipment level of more than 70% of the industry's production capacity has reached the international advanced and even leading level.

The modern paper industry has developed into a technology-intensive industry. The industry consists of several technical fields, which are reflected in high-tech content, high automation, high manufacturing precision and material requirements, and are developing in the direction of informationization, data and intelligence. The data show that in the past ten years, China has carried out research on key projects of science and technology projects, including the national science and technology support plan project, “863” for the high value utilization of plant resources, energy saving and emission reduction in papermaking process, and functional application of paper materials. "Project projects, natural science fund projects, etc., more than 80 research projects. At the same time, a number of provincial science and technology authorities and enterprises have also established a large number of technology research and development projects in the field of pulp and paper. In the past 10 years, China has obtained 14,130 papermaking patents, invested 14.46 billion in research and experimental development, and reached 4,537 new product development projects with an investment of 14.57 billion.

Form a full-cycle circular economy system

Turn green, low-carbon, and recyclable development into industrial advantages

According to Zhao Wei, chairman of the China Paper Association, the high-quality development of the economy and the need for people to live a better life have also pointed out the development direction of the paper industry and provided a broad space for sustainable development. The characteristics of low-carbon and recyclable development will be transformed into industrial development advantages, forming a cycle-wide, more scientific and rational circular economy system, and the level of sustainable development of the industry will continue to improve.

With similar views, Liu Xiaokai, director of the Printing and Distribution Bureau of the Central Propaganda Department. He believes that upgrading the quality of consumption is the "pillar" of China's stable economic operation and the "booster" for high-quality development. Promoting the transformation of the paper industry from the traditional manufacturing and processing industries to the production service industry is an important idea and strategic choice for dealing with consumption upgrading and achieving sustainable development. Therefore, the industry should strengthen research and development, fully meet the high-end needs of the existing market, continuously explore various potential needs, enrich product culture connotation, expand product technology content, and promote the paper industry to shift from focusing on tangible products to paying attention to consumer service experience.

In addition, during the same period, the forum also focused on inheriting culture, cracking the problems of newsprint materials, packaging green development, realizing the reduction and reuse of packaging materials and other hot topics, and launched a heavy dialogue to explore the effective path of green sustainable development of the paper industry in the future.
