According to Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation, the 2023 Sustainable Development Summit Forum for Beverage Paper Based Composite Packaging was recently held. Experts and scholars in the industry offer suggestions on topics such as sustainable development of green and low carbon cycle in the industry and promotion of mature recycling models.

During the 14th Five Year Plan period, China's ecological civilization construction entered a critical period with a focus on carbon reduction as the strategic direction, promoting coordinated efficiency reduction in pollution and carbon reduction, promoting comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development, and achieving a qualitative change in ecological environment quality improvement from quantitative to qualitative. Based on the high concentration ratio of the paper-based composite packaging industry in China, and the relatively single object of control, the Special Committee for Recycling of paper-based composite packaging for beverages has united the upstream and downstream enterprises of the entire industry chain to establish a "sustainable development collaboration for paper-based composite packaging for beverages", and has made every effort to promote the Implementation Plan of the Extended Producer Responsibility System for paper-based composite packaging for beverages to achieve phased results.

Previously, the three group standards of "Performance Evaluation of Producer Responsibility Extension for Beverage Paper Based Composite Packaging", "Recycling Identification for Beverage Paper Based Composite Packaging", and "Evaluation Method for Ecological Design Products of Beverage Paper Based Composite Packaging" were officially released by the Beijing Resource Compulsory Recycling and Environmental Protection Industry Technology Innovation Strategy Alliance, marking the implementation of the extended producer responsibility system and the fulfillment of industry extension responsibility in China's beverage paper based packaging industry, Another solid step has been taken in the direction of promoting the green and low carbon cycle development of the industrial chain, Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation reported.

"Discussing the sustainable development of paper-based composite packaging for beverages is a permanent topic for us." Ma Rong, chief policy expert of the Strategic Alliance for Technology Innovation in Beijing's Compulsory Resource Recycling and Environmental Protection Industry and former deputy director of the Department of Environment and Resources of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at the forum that as an important model for developing a green and low-carbon carbon cycle circular economy, the extended producer responsibility system is still in the initial stage of power accumulation in China, and is currently only tentatively implemented in four categories, In the packaging industry, only paper based composite packaging for beverages has been piloted and achieved significant results, especially through proactive responsibility obligations such as corporate self-discipline and social responsibility awareness, which can be promoted in other industries and even new fields. Focusing on the requirements of the "dual carbon" goal, high-level protection and efficient utilization of natural resources is a major issue. Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation Report.

The goal of "dual carbon" and the green road have a long way to go. How to do a good job in recycling packaging is also a key concern of the China Packaging Federation, "said Han Xueshan, Vice President of the China Packaging Federation. Packaging products participate in every aspect of the recycling economy, and the country has also introduced multiple policies to put forward higher requirements for the green transformation of packaging. The overall recycling and reuse work in the packaging industry has not yet formed a scale. As a successful pilot of the extended producer responsibility system for beverage paper based composite packaging, it has important demonstration significance for the recycling and reuse of the packaging industry.

The importance of circular economy lies in practice. This forum invites relevant government departments from Hangzhou, Suzhou, and Shenzhen to introduce the current situation of resource utilization of low value recyclable materials such as paper based composite packaging for beverages, and Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation Report.

At the forum, the Special Committee on the Recycling and Utilization of Paper Based Composite Packaging for Beverages also awarded the second batch of "Demonstration Enterprises for the Recycling and Utilization of Paper Based Composite Packaging for Beverages". Eleven enterprises were selected as "Demonstration Enterprises for Recycling and Utilization" after material preliminary review and expert evaluation. This also indicates that the Special Committee will fully drive upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain to promote the goal of resource utilization of paper based composite packaging for beverages in a standardized and orderly manner under the guidance of government departments, Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation Report.
