As the harm of global plastic pollution is increasingly known to the public, the calls for plastic bans from consumers are increasing. More and more brands are joining the process of plastic ban and reduction. The global plastic ban has intensified. The third intergovernmental negotiation meeting of the legally binding global plastic ban convention has been successfully concluded. It is expected that relevant agreements will be issued next year. The China-US Sunshine Country Declaration is also determined to end plastic pollution. It is also a global consensus to achieve global carbon neutrality. The continuous improvement of environmental awareness and the rapid development of the circular economy will inevitably promote the development of related industries.

As a packaging form with environmental advantages, paper bottles have received more and more attention, research and development, and application worldwide. However, the paper bottle industry faces many challenges in its development, such as performance, technology, cost, production capacity, etc.

In order to meet these challenges, it is particularly important to initiate the establishment of the Paper Bottle Alliance at this stage. The Pulp Molding Branch of the All-China Paper Industry Chamber of Commerce, the Packaging Tribe, and the IPFM Shanghai International Plant Fiber Molding Industry Exhibition have collaborated to initiate the Paper Bottle Alliance, with the goal of promoting the application of paper bottles, breaking through the information barriers between production, technology, equipment, and users, and relying on China's advantages and markets in the field of pulp molding to jointly promote the development of paper bottle applications in the world and China.

Paper bottle technology is still in its early stages globally, and it cannot compete with substitutes in terms of performance or cost. It is the efforts of consumers and brand owners that are driving the development of paper bottles. Overseas, HP acquired CHOOSE PACKING, Jabil invested in ECOLOGIC BRANDS, Stora Enso invested in PULPEX, and the paper bottle company PABOCO is supported by the Paper Bottle Alliance, including Carlsberg, Coca-Cola, Absoult Absolute Vodka, ALPLA, BILLIERUKORSNAS, etc., and companies such as PAPER WATER BOTTLE and Pulpac are also developing paper bottles.

In China, companies including Evergreen Green Packaging, Yongfa, and Everbright Tongchuang have already reserved paper bottle technology. Among them, Evergreen Green Packaging has formed an annual production capacity of one million paper bottles (3,000 per day). Many companies and individuals are also conducting paper bottle research, such as Hunan Shuanghuan and Changzhou Wanxing. Some friends and companies who are unwilling to disclose are working silently.

According to the latest global packaging trend report of Euro-Rich International, global plastic bottle consumption will reach 588.3 billion by 2021, equivalent to 1.11 million plastic bottles being used every minute. By 2060, if there is no way to control it, this number will increase by 4 times. As one of the substitutes for plastic bottles, paper bottles, if they are developed in a long-term manner, will be conducive to environmental restoration, reduce plastic pollution, and reduce the cost of plastic pollution control. These disposable bottles are difficult to be completely recycled, and even a very small proportion of leakage will cause a huge environmental impact.

1. The purpose of initiating the establishment of the Paper Bottle Alliance

1. Strengthen industry collaboration: The establishment of the Paper Bottle Alliance aims to promote cooperation and exchanges among enterprises in the industry and solve the difficulties faced by individual enterprises in terms of technology and cost. Through the alliance, enterprises can share resources, information and technology, improve production efficiency and reduce costs, and enhance market competitiveness.

2. Promote technological innovation: The initiation of the Paper Bottle Alliance aims to promote technological innovation and research and development. By gathering the research and development strength of various enterprises, jointly carry out technological research and innovation, and accelerate the transformation and application of technological achievements. At the same time, the alliance can promote the formulation and promotion of technical standards and promote technological progress in the entire industry.

3. Expand market applications: The initiation of the Paper Bottle Alliance will help enhance the overall competitiveness of paper bottles and expand market applications. By combining the strength of upstream, midstream and downstream enterprises in the paper bottle field, jointly open up the market, find suitable paper bottle application scenarios, promote the application opportunities of paper bottles from 0 to 1, and open up and expand the application areas of paper bottle packaging. At the same time, the alliance can provide enterprises with more business opportunities and cooperation channels to promote the development of paper bottles.

2. The significance of initiating the establishment of the Paper Bottle Alliance

1. Promote sustainable development: The initiation and establishment of the Paper Bottle Alliance will help promote the sustainable development of the paper bottle industry. By promoting the research and development and application of paper bottle technology, the process, technology and equipment in the paper bottle production process will be reduced, efficiency will be improved, and costs will be reduced. At the same time, the alliance can promote the rapid development of the circular economy, improve resource utilization efficiency, and achieve coordinated development of the economy, society and environment.

2. Improve international competitiveness: By initiating the establishment of the Paper Bottle Alliance, the domestic paper bottle industry can strengthen exchanges and cooperation with international paper bottle peers, learn and draw on advanced technology and management experience. At the same time, the alliance can gather the strength of various enterprises to jointly cope with international competitive pressure and technical barriers and improve the international competitiveness of the entire industry.

3. Promote industrial upgrading: The establishment of the Paper Bottle Alliance will help promote the upgrading and development of the paper bottle industry. Through technological innovation, quality improvement and brand building, the overall quality and core competitiveness of the paper bottle industry will be improved. At the same time, the alliance can guide enterprises to develop in the direction of high-end and intelligent development, and promote industrial structure adjustment and transformation and upgrading.

4. Strengthen industry standard management: The establishment of the Paper Bottle Alliance will help strengthen the standard management within the industry. By formulating industry standards and norms, guide enterprises to produce in accordance with laws and regulations; by establishing self-discipline mechanisms and punishment mechanisms within the industry, regulate corporate behavior and market order to maintain the healthy development of the industry.

5. Promote industry talent training and exchanges: The initiation of the Paper Bottle Alliance will help promote industry talent training and exchanges. Through training, seminars and technical exchanges, the skills and professional quality of practitioners are improved, and the construction of the industry's talent team is promoted to a higher level, providing strong support for the sustainable development of the industry. In short, the establishment of the Paper Bottle Alliance will not only help to cope with the various challenges faced by the industry, but also promote the sustainable development of paper bottles, improve the international competitiveness of paper bottles, promote industrial upgrading, strengthen industry norms, management, and promote industry talent training and exchanges. It is of great significance. We believe that in the near future, the Paper Bottle Alliance will become an important force in promoting the development of paper bottles and make positive contributions to the realization of green development and social progress.

Now open to recruit paper bottle alliance initiators, welcome paper bottle users, paper bottle equipment manufacturers, paper bottle technology research and development companies and individuals, paper bottle manufacturers, and friends who are interested in paper bottles to jointly promote the development of China's paper bottle industry.
