Paper enterprises should develop smoothly.

Faced with the new requirement of the country to express packaging industry, how should paper enterprises do?

Nowadays, the packing base paper for the new project have been springing up across the country, leading enterprises, small businesses are also, even outside the original industry enterprises poured in, according to the analysis of the consultancy, nearly two years to the wrapping of the production of new capacity could reach 10 million tons.

On the one hand, the state demands to reduce the amount of packaging materials. On the one hand, the packaging industry is trying to expand the capacity, so as a result, will it impact the safety of the industry?

For enterprises, development depends on the supply and demand of the market, as well as the policy of the country. In the short term, it is better to look at the long-term, to see the trend, and to develop better.

A very good example, after last year's double eleven, to solve the problem of the backlog of express boxes, Tmall has carried out recycling activities in a dozen cities around the country, namely "return box plan".

It is not only a simple recycling program, but also associated with the mountain eagle group (huanyu international), which recycles cartons into boxes.

Hawks paper and electricity business enterprise cooperation, in large electrical contractor "green packaging" of the whole supply chain, not only achieved good social benefits, but also increased the new paper recycling channel, also to promote the economic benefits of the very considerable.
