In recent years, as the "plastic ban" and "plastic restriction" measures have been introduced one after another, under the background of plastic ban and environmental protection, paper and plastic products have ushered in explosive growth, and the market is in short supply, such as paper straws, paper bag packaging, paper Many environmentally-friendly packaging products such as box packaging have entered our lives. Pulp wet compression molding has a wide range of applications, such as cosmetic packaging, catering packaging, logistics, etc. Based on the advantages of paper-plastic packaging, such as water and oil resistance, it can also effectively replace plastic packaging.
Pulp wet compression molding is commonly called "paper tray". It is a slurry made from renewable plant fibers and molded with a mold. The main raw materials include: wood pulp of conifers and hardwoods, bamboo pulp, reed pulp and other straw pulps , There are waste paper pulp and so on. At present, the pulp molding process has two processes: dry pressing and wet pressing. The products produced are suitable for digital 3C electronic product paper trays, cosmetics, skin care products paper trays, gift boxes lining paper trays, food hygiene inner packaging paper trays, Packaging for fresh agricultural products, home appliances, etc.
The wet press molded paper tray is regarded as a powerful substitute for plastic packaging materials, not only because it is a renewable and degradable environmental protection packaging material, but also because it has many economic and practical advantages:
1. The wet press molded paper tray has good air permeability, water absorption, hydrophobicity and heat insulation, and can be used for packaging various products, especially fresh products;
2. The wet-compression molded paper tray itself is small in size and light in weight, and can be stacked for storage, saving stacking space and transportation costs;
3. The wet-press molded paper tray has shock resistance, can play a good cushioning effect, and protect the packaging products;
4. The wet-press molded paper tray also has the characteristics of alkali resistance, light resistance, waterproof, anti-static, oil-proof, and non-leakage.
From 2019 to 2021, the development momentum of the pulp wet compression molding industry in the past three years has shown explosive growth, but it still belongs to a niche industry. In the future, the pulp wet compression molding packaging material will be compared with the plastic packaging material market. There are hundreds of billions of market growth space, mainly concentrated in the tableware market, agricultural product packaging market, industrial packaging, e-commerce packaging market, etc.
The pulp tableware market has three major categories: tourism, takeaway, and family and restaurant packaging. There are also three major categories of wet-molded paper trays in the agricultural product market: egg trays, fruit trays, and fresh food trays such as meat and cakes. The industrial market of paper trays is mainly distributed in: 3C digital electronic products, home appliances, wine, watches and other products. The e-commerce packaging market applications of paper trays are relatively detailed and involve many fields.
