Packaging Industry: From Large to Strong (Part 2)

Third, the higher cost of packaging products has a greater impact on the competitiveness of commodities. The backward equipment will inevitably affect the quality of packaging products and increase the cost of packaging products, thus affecting the competitiveness of China's commodities and increasing the burden on consumers. In the modern production of goods, packaging costs often have a decisive influence on the price of goods, especially foods, beverages, daily chemical products, pharmaceuticals and other ordinary consumers who need low-value commodities, and packaging costs often reach the cost of goods. %-70%, therefore, there is still a huge space for improving packaging equipment, forming scale production capacity, and reducing the cost of packaging products.
Fourth, there is a serious lack of packaging management and technical personnel, and the ability of enterprises to innovate in technology is poor.
Fifth, the macro management of packaging production needs to be strengthened. The regulations involving packaging are seriously insufficient. The packaging regulations should be established and improved as soon as possible.
At present, from the perspective of protecting the interests of consumers, protecting resources and the environment, all developed countries have a complete set of regulations, standards, and product certification systems involving packaging, and have continuously introduced new regulations. If our export commodities fail to comply with their laws and regulations and product certification systems, and lack of strong policy interventions and administrative penalties, they will, to a considerable extent, cause irregular production of packaging products, harm the interests of consumers, and cause serious environmental pollution and resources. waste. Therefore, it is necessary to establish and perfect the corresponding laws and regulations for packaging in China as soon as possible, guide packaging companies to produce according to laws and standards, and implement mandatory certification systems for product packaging that involves people's lives and safety. This is a work that needs to be carried out immediately.
(1) Grasping the integration of small and medium-sized packaging enterprises and implementing the "joint development" strategy.
It is imperative for China's packaging companies to implement intensive integration, joint development, and operation according to the modern enterprise system. At the same time, we will focus on promoting the development of "professional, refined, special, and new" among SMEs.
(B) increase efforts to establish China's green packaging industry system, speed up the process of integration with international standards. Paying attention to environmental performance and playing with green packaging is an inevitable trend in the world's packaging revolution. This is also a fundamental measure to address the technical barriers, environmental barriers, and quarantine inspection rules of various countries. To develop green packaging, we must now focus on the following major areas.
1, vigorously develop green packaging materials.
2, vigorously promote clean production.
3, vigorously implement the recycling of packaging waste.
4, speed up the process of integration with international standards. First, promote international standards in the packaging industry and eliminate non-standard production. Packaging companies should strive to pass the packaging product certification and ISO9000, ISO14000 certification, to promote the use of two-dimensional code, in order to quickly improve the competitiveness of China's packaging products in the international market.
(III) Rejuvenate packaging equipment manufacturing industry
(d) Under the framework of the WTO rules, trade associations must play a greater role in safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises.
After joining the World Trade Organization, China’s import and export trade affairs need to be run under the WTO rules that are promised. Industry associations will play an increasingly important role, especially in the dumping and anti-dumping of imports and exports, subsidies and countervailing subsidies, and trade. Barriers play an important role. The state shall actively support industry associations to participate in the formulation of laws and regulations related to the development of the industry in China, such as packaging law, packaging waste management law, and other green environmental protection regulations; authorize industry associations to conduct statistics on industry production and import and export, and authorize industry associations to formulate their own Development planning, participation in or organization of negotiations on trade disputes, etc., so that trade associations can play a greater role in safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises and national interests.
The implementation of the measures mentioned above in response to WTO entry is actually a major adjustment to the packaging industry in China in terms of scale, system, and structure, so as to promote the development of the entire industry. In order to facilitate the smooth progress of these adjustments, it is necessary to gather the scattered information, R&D, manufacturing, circulation, and education power in the packaging industry to form a joint force and then to radiate and spread across the industry. The World Packaging Organization's approval for the construction of an Asian packaging center in China has provided us with an opportunity to build such an "aircraft carrier" and a world-class brand in China's packaging industry, which will greatly promote the reform and development of China's packaging industry and enable China's packaging. The industry has a place on the world packed soldiers stage. The establishment of the subcontract center has several important roles:
First, China's packaging industry is intensively integrated to form a scale and play a catalytic role;
The second is to play a prominent role in promoting technological innovation in China's packaging industry and improving the level of technical equipment;
The third is to play a leading role in building China's green packaging industry system;
The fourth is to play a role as a “platform” for the base in terms of import and export trade, innovative personnel training and information resources.
In order to build a good Asian subcontract center and make it work, it mainly depends on the market operation, but it also needs the support of the state. The relevant central government departments and local governments give corresponding policies. The association will play a guiding role in the industry, raise the strength of the entire industry, mobilize the entire social forces, greatly improve the investment environment, and attract domestic and foreign investment. Currently. The Subcontract Center Construction Leading Group has been established and will be implemented after the formulation of specific development plans.
With the rapid development of China's economy, the world's manufacturing centers are gradually shifting to China. Some world-wide industry centers and international organizations will also settle in China. The industry should make joint efforts to build an "aircraft carrier" for the Chinese packaging industry and push China to move from a big packaging country to a strong packaging country.
