At the beginning of this year, due to the impact of the epidemic, people both within and outside the industry were extremely anxious. After March, as the epidemic was effectively controlled, demand rebounded rapidly and confidence was quickly restored. Up to now, the market demand for coating has been basically stable. However, due to the fact that the supply and demand relationship in the aluminum coating industry has not been significantly improved, the processing fee space has not been expanded, and even in some places it has decreased. The industry's investment return rate is very low, and the industry's operating conditions need to be improved. However, the main raw material of the coating industry, PET film, has seen an improvement in supply and demand in recent years. Although several production lines were put into operation in the second half of the year, due to the stable demand in food packaging, the significant growth in solar backsheet, face masks, masks, and pharmaceutical packaging industries, the entire industry is in a tight balance state. The processing fee space has significantly increased, and the processing fee generally exceeds 6,000 yuan per ton, and the industry's benefits are very ideal. From this, it can be seen that for the coating industry to achieve a healthy development, it is very necessary to control the blind expansion of production capacity.

A few years ago, the European and American regions were the first to promote the degradable, recyclable and reduced plastic materials. On January 19th this year, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment released the "Opinions on Further Strengthening Plastic Pollution Governance", which means that the new plastic restriction order has arrived. The main goals of the plastic restriction order are divided into three stages:

The first stage: This year, we will first ban and restrict the production, sale and use of some plastic products in certain regions and certain fields.

The second stage: In 2022, the consumption of disposable plastic products will significantly decrease, and alternative products will be promoted. The proportion of plastic waste being recycled and energyized will significantly increase; in areas with prominent plastic pollution problems and in the emerging fields such as e-commerce, express delivery and food delivery, a number of replicable and promotable plastic reduction and green logistics models will be formed.

The third stage: By 2025, the management systems for plastic products production, circulation, consumption and recycling and disposal will be basically established, a multi-party co-governance system will be basically formed, the level of alternative product development and application will be further improved, the amount of plastic waste landfill in key cities will be significantly reduced, and plastic pollution will be effectively controlled.

The introduction of the new plastic restriction order, although several years behind Europe and America, has been implemented very resolutely and with great force, showing a trend of catching up. Our plastic packaging industry should also respond to the national policy and actively develop new green and environmentally friendly functional materials to enhance the safety and recyclability of plastic products. This will also bring new development opportunities to our coating industry.

The recyclability and reduction of this industry: Firstly, it is the substitution of aluminum foil, which is not recyclable and not environmentally friendly, with environmentally friendly PVDC film. Secondly, it helps materials with lower barrier properties, such as PET composite heat-sealed film PET; Bopp composite CPP; BOPE composite PE. These materials require that the substitute materials have high barrier properties and environmental friendliness, or that the barrier performance of the original materials be significantly improved.

Our Foshan Cailong Coating Packaging Materials Co., Ltd. takes "green and environmentally friendly substitution, and easy recyclability" as its orientation, and has developed a series of transparent high-barrier and non-transparent ultra-high barrier coated products. Among them, the transparent aluminum oxide coated film performance has reached the level of similar imported products, which can significantly reduce packaging costs and enable green products to be more widely applied; the barrier performance of the non-transparent ultra-high barrier aluminum-coated film is comparable to aluminum foil. The products can replace most aluminum foil and solve the problem of material waste and aluminum-plastic separation. It increases the supply of green products, enhances the safety and recyclability of plastic products.

The main performance of ultra-high barrier aluminum-coated films:

● The proportion of metallic aluminum content is low, and there is no problem of aluminum-plastic separation for recycling. ● Excellent moisture-proof and oxygen-proof performance, extending the shelf life;

● Excellent light-blocking and shielding function, preventing the damage of packaging contents by ultraviolet light;

● Good metallic luster.

As mentioned above, the new direction for the development of the coating industry is to respond to the national policies, aiming to enhance the safety, recyclability and reduction of plastic products. By researching and producing transparent and opaque high-performance coated products, this not only aligns with and promotes the implementation of national policies, but also provides a broad space for the development of the industry itself.
