Plastic Products Industry Should Take the Road to Cluster Development

At present, the plastics industry has not yet got rid of the difficult situation of rising prices of raw materials, power shortages, blind investment, similar products, and disorderly competition.

At the 2007 China-India Plastics Industry Cooperation and Development Summit Forum held recently, Liao Authentician of the China Plastics Processing Industry Association pointed out that in recent years, China's plastics industry has developed rapidly, and the gap between the overall level and the developed countries is narrowing, but it still faces The high prices of raw materials are running, the overall level of plastic machinery is not high, some companies lack self-discipline, and some plastic products are lagging behind. Experts suggest that we should strengthen the independent innovation of enterprises, promote energy conservation and environmental protection, and guide the development of industrial clusters, so as to promote the rapid and healthy development of China's plastics industry.
Existing Problems
One is the high price of resin, and some companies have difficulties in operating. Since 2004, due to the influence of the international crude oil market, synthetic resins are still operating at a high level, and a considerable number of downstream plastics products companies have experienced sharp declines in profits, which makes it difficult to maintain operations.
Second, the pattern of unbalanced regional distribution has not yet fundamentally changed. The enterprises above designated size in China's plastic products are mainly concentrated in the southeast coastal areas and economically developed regions, of which Guangdong accounts for 22%, Zhejiang accounts for 19%, Jiangsu accounts for 11%, and 3 provinces together account for 52%. In 2006, the total output of plastic products in the three provinces accounted for 56.8% of the country. This shows that the pattern of unbalanced regional distribution of the plastic products industry has not yet been fundamentally changed, which may lead to the enterprises with high energy consumption, low processing technology content, and labor-intensive enterprises gradually flowing to economically underdeveloped regions.
Third, raw material prices and fierce competition in the market, some companies lack self-discipline, and shoddy for immediate interests, which seriously affected the healthy development of the industry.
Fourth, there is still a big gap between the overall level of plastic machinery and the world's advanced level. After years of development, China's small and medium-sized machines, especially injection molding machines, can basically meet domestic needs and have large exports. However, large-scale and advanced plastics machinery still rely on imports. Some plastics processing companies have long relied on repayments. The huge pressure and insufficient investment in technological innovation have affected the development of new products.
Fifth, some plastic products standards are in urgent need of revision. The standards of some plastic products currently in use in China were formulated in the 1980s. Many of the requirements cannot satisfy people's demands for improvement of their living standards and need to be revised.
Direction of development
Liao said that it must be clearly aware that the current plastic products industry has not escaped the difficult situation of rising prices of raw materials, power shortages, blind investment, similar products, and disorderly competition. It is necessary to strengthen independent innovation, promote energy conservation and environmental protection, and guide industrial clustering. Development, promote the sustainable development of the industry.
The first is to strengthen independent innovation, improve product quality, and enhance the company's core competitiveness. In this regard, Guangdong Province has taken the lead. According to reports, the plastics industry in Guangdong Province has promoted the overall technical level of the industry by introducing, absorbing and renovating advanced technologies at home and abroad. At present, a number of plastic production processes and technologies in Guangdong have reached the advanced level at home and abroad, and produced a number of brand-name products in the plastic products industry. Plastics companies in Guangdong have a total of more than 60 titles such as "Chinese Famous Brand Products," "China Famous Brands," "Guangdong Famous Brand Products," and "Guangdong Famous Brand," and gradually formed a brand-name product cluster in the plastics industry.
Second, under the guidance of the principle of building a conservation-minded society, energy conservation and consumption reduction are needed to reduce costs. On the one hand, we must optimize product design and save materials. In terms of plastics processing machinery, measures such as energy-saving and energy-reducing devices, optimized design of key components, and lowering of material temperatures are effective; in the fields of plastic raw materials and processing technologies, energy-saving raw materials, porous technology, and reasonable material selection can be used. Realize cost reduction and efficiency increase. On the other hand, domestic plastics machinery enterprises are required to increase the development of energy-saving and consumption-reducing products, 7-layer co-extrusion blown film units manufactured by Guangdong Jinming Plastics Equipment Co., Ltd., and HDPE (high-pressure low-density polyethylene) pipes manufactured by Qingdao High-tech Development Corporation. The production line has reached or surpassed the world advanced level in energy saving.
The third is to strengthen the recycling of plastic waste and take the road of circular economy and sustainable development. It is estimated that in 2010 China's plastic recycling volume will exceed 10 million tons, and the recovery rate will be about 25%. The plastic recycling industry has a bright future. It will develop from low quality and high energy consumption to high quality, low energy consumption, multiple varieties and high technology. At the same time, we must increase the research and development of degradable plastics to promote its industrialization as soon as possible.
Fourth, guide the development of industrial clusters, give play to regional economic advantages, and promote the balanced development of the entire industry. According to reports, Guangdong's industrial industrial structure as a whole has advanced to a more advanced and moderately heavy-duty transformation, which has promoted the optimization of the province's plastics industry and product mix, forming the largest plastic packaging material company in China, the largest high-performance modified plastics enterprise in China, and Asia. The largest plastic beverage bottle and beer bottle company, including a large number of large, super large plastics companies. Gaoming District of Foshan City was awarded the title of “Chinese Synthetic Leather Industry Base”. Wuchuan City, Zhanjiang was awarded the title of “China Plastic Shoes Township” and Shishan Town, Nanhai District, Foshan City was applying for “China Plastic Hollow Container Packaging Product Industrial Base”. These enterprises have formed high value-added industrial chains for the supporting industries of electronic information, household appliances, automobiles, industrial packaging, high-grade daily-use plastics, high-grade leather, and furniture. The participation in the social and economic development of the plastics industry has been significantly improved. The development has achieved remarkable results.
