Mechanical and electrical products wood packaging will gradually end

In the course of transportation, mechanical and electrical products such as engines, power tools, and communication facilities tend to be “whole” with wooden frames. Wrapped in wood, this is a common image of our past. As everyone knows, the resulting timber consumption is amazingly large. And if you use the most advanced environmental protection packaging, without cutting a tree, the material cost can also be reduced by 2/3 than traditional packaging.

Mechanical and electrical products wood packaging will gradually end Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other seven departments jointly issued the "Mechanical and Electrical Products Packaging and Wood Replacement Work Plan" to identify a group of pilot enterprises, in the traditional heavy mechanical and electrical products, promote "green package".

Motor packaging began to use recycled iron frames. Currently in China's mechanical and electrical product packaging, wood packaging accounts for about 80% of the annual consumption of timber more than 10 million cubic meters, accounting for about 1/6 of China's commodity timber production, and most of them are high-quality wood. . In order to reduce wood consumption, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology carried out packaging and wood replacement work in the mechanical and electrical industry, and selected the first batch of 20 companies as the pilot units for mechanical and electrical products packaging and wood substitutes. The reporter saw in the list of demanding parties for the pilot units that Hangzhou Panasonic Motor Co., Ltd. was on the list. Yesterday, the reporter contacted the Hangzhou company located in Xiasha.

“Hangzhou Panasonic Motor has significantly reduced the packaging of logs in recent years.” Zhu Huiming, deputy general manager of Panasonic Motor, told reporters that the company’s home appliance motor sold 17 million units last year, and half of it was sold overseas. The demand for packaging was also high. quite big. According to reports, their motor products have begun to adopt a variety of alternative packaging, such as plywood packaging, carton recycling, also developed a recyclable iron frame, plastic frame packaging. "Like custom-made iron frame packaging, although the price is more than 1,000 yuan, it can be used for a long time and it can be folded easily."

The reporter saw that this time it was decided to replace the wood for pilots and confirmed the development and adoption of new technologies: a new high-strength moisture-proof corrugated paper packaging production technology, a wood-based composite material packaging combination technology process, and paper sludge production of heavy-duty high-strength mechanical and electrical products Packaging technology, a variety of composite packaging, pallet production technology and so on. "Overall, there will be less and less use of wood."

Restricted packaging of wood packaging products has become an indispensable part of the production and distribution process. About 90% of the goods in the market need to go through different degrees and different types of packaging, which will cost hundreds of millions of packaging products each year. Therefore, promoting the environmental protection of packaging has become an important mission for today's environmental protection and low carbon trend. Such as the green packaging developed by Swiss companies, all outer packagings use environmentally friendly cardboard. Most of the raw materials used to make this kind of paperboard are derived from the production of natural plant and vegetable fiber left over from organic skin care products, without cutting a tree. And the material cost is less, equivalent to about 1/3 of the traditional packaging materials.

Also located in Xiasha, Bosch Packaging Technology (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd. is a multinational company specializing in the production of packaging tools. The company's packaging tools are widely used in pharmaceutical packaging, candy packaging and other sophisticated products. Mr. Haiji, the general manager of the company, said, “The factory has established a complete set of environmental management system in accordance with international standards, and promotes low-carbon and environmentally friendly production methods through its own technological innovations, and upholds the concept of green environmental protection throughout the industrial manufacturing process.” For example, The production of candy wrappers is very stressful. In the overlapped part of the wrappers, it is necessary to ensure a reliable bond and to minimize the waste of the wrappers.

"The development of new generation wood packaging products is also the need for the company's products to expand exports and continue to develop." According to the export enterprises in the Hangzhou Economic and Technological Development Area, as some countries in Europe and the United States restrict Chinese exports from using wood packaging, the development of wood packaging materials More and more urgent, which also led to the Chinese packaging industry for the development and production of wood packaging materials.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will promote the implementation and improvement of the value-added tax policy for the comprehensive use of resources, and include the development, design, and application of packaging, material-saving and wood-replacement materials for mechanical and electrical products that meet the requirements, and shall be included in the scope of support.
