Development history of pulp molding industry in China

The pulp molding industry has developed for more than 80 years in some more developed countries. At present, the pulp molding industry has a considerable scale in Canada, the United States, Britain, France, Denmark, the Netherlands, Japan, Iceland, Singapore and other countries. Among them, Britain, Iceland and Canada have larger scale and more mature technology.

China’s pulp molding industry started relatively late. In 1984, Hunan pulp molding General Factory of China Packaging Corporation invested more than 10 million yuan in Xiangtan, Hunan, and introduced a rotary drum automatic pulp molding production line from El company of France, which is mainly used for the production of egg trays, which is the beginning of China’s pulp molding industry.

In 1988, the first pulp molding production line developed by China was launched, ending the history of relying on import of pulp molding equipment.

Before 1993, China’s pulp molded products were mainly poultry egg tray, beer tray and fruit tray. The products were single and low-grade. They were mainly distributed in Shaanxi, Hunan, Shandong, Hebei, Henan and northeast provinces.

Since 1993, due to the eastward movement of the world processing industry, the export products of foreign enterprises in China require the use of environmental protection packaging. Pulp molded products began to develop into lined shockproof packaging for electronic devices, household appliances, instruments and meters, hardware tools, communication equipment, food, drugs, cosmetics, toys, agricultural products, daily necessities, lighting and other industrial products. On the cushioning performance of the package, it can be comparable to white foam plastics (EPS) in a certain range, and the price is lower than that of EPS inner liner packaging, which will soon be accepted by the market. First, it developed rapidly in Guangdong, and then to East and North China.
