As one of world biggest users of plastics, China recently has unveiled a major plan to reduce single-use plastics in different industries across the country in January 2020. Non-degradable bags will be banned in major cities by the end of 2020 and in all cities and towns by 2022. And some local governments follow the guideline to issue similar policy to ban single use plastics including Hainan, Ganxu and Fuzhou.
The New Regulation is quite different from the regulation when the Chinese government issued the ban policy for the first time in 2007, it’s the most rigorous ban this time.These regulations are scheduled to be phased in with specific goals set by the end of 2020, 2022 and 2025. The policy has regulated mainly on the prohibition or restriction of sales, production and using of plastic shopping bags, disposable foamed plastic tableware and personal care or beauty products that contain plastic beads and 100% ban on importation of plastic scrap.
With the background of the ban on plastics and ban on importation of plastic scrap, bioplastic products and degradable packaging products have become the focus. According to certain research data, the demand in bioplastics is expected to achieve 13,000,000 tons by year of 2025, while the current demand is only less than 100,000tons. In the next 5 years, degradable bioplastics and other degradable food packaging products(like molded fiber sugarcane pulp packaging products and other materials) will be in huge need by the market under the pressure of the new regulations. Many big brands like Starbucks, KFC and Macdonald’s in China already lead the change in replacing plastics, more and more native brands follow as well. It’s also the demand of consumers with the improvement of living conditions. It’s a big opportunity for companies who are in this degradable packaging industry like Green Olive, the company has plans to enlarge capacity of sugarcane pulp packaging products to meet the expected surge in domestic market need by setting up more plants mainly in the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta this year.
