"Papermaking = pollution" is the traditional impression of the paper industry in the past. Industrial chemical oxygen demand emissions have long occupied the first position in the country's major industrial industries. "The 14th Five-Year Plan for the National Economic and Social Development of the People’s Republic of China and the Outline of Long-term Goals for 2035" also proposes to expand the supply of high-quality products such as light industry and textiles, accelerate the transformation and upgrading of enterprises in key industries such as chemical industry and papermaking, and improve green manufacturing. system.

In recent years, all parts of the country have actively promoted the development of the papermaking industry, and the papermaking industry has continuously upgraded its technology and carried out cleaner production. The China Paper Association also held a third-party assessment and acceptance meeting for the demonstration projects and demonstration projects for the industrialization of key technologies for water pollution control in the paper industry in key river basins. The data shows that compared with the results of the first pollution source survey, the second pollution source survey shows that the concentration of production capacity in my country's key industries has increased over the past ten years. Compared with 2007, the output of the national paper industry has increased by 61%, the number of enterprises has decreased by 24%, and the chemical oxygen demand of the paper industry has decreased by 84%.

During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the paper industry adheres to the development concept of green development and circular economy, strictly implements a series of relevant policies, laws, regulations and standards promulgated by the state and local authorities, adheres to technological innovation and the application of advanced technology and equipment, and actively implements clean Production, pay close attention to the source and production process and end-point pollutants control, and continuously improve the level of papermaking production technology and equipment. The pollution prevention and control of the papermaking industry has made great progress. In recent years, newly-built and technologically transformed pulp and paper enterprises have a relatively high level of technical equipment, especially clean production and environmental protection facilities that have reached the international advanced level or even the leading level. my country’s paper-making enterprises are also increasingly aware of the importance of social responsibility and have begun to actively implement corporate social responsibility strategies.

The reporter learned that the China Paper Association has done a lot of fruitful work to promote the sustainable and healthy development of the industry. Organize forces, cooperate with the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to compile the "Thirteenth Five-Year Guidelines for the Development of the Paper Industry", and assist the Ministry of Water Resources to compile the "High Water Consumption Process, Technology and Equipment Elimination Catalog" and "National Key Water-saving Technologies Catalog" to assist environmental protection The Ministry formulated the "Work Plan for the Design of Pollution Permits for the Paper Industry" and proposed amendments to the "Regulations on Carbon Emission Trading Management" by the Legislative Affairs Office of the State Council. Actively report the "Import Situation and Recommendations of Waste Paper Raw Materials" to relevant departments, and cooperate with special investigations to stabilize the supply of waste paper raw materials. The association organized the "China International Paper and Equipment Expo", "China Paper Week" summit forums, theme seminars, policy presentations, etc.

The association also guides companies to actively participate in local education, culture and other public welfare undertakings. Nine Dragons Paper, APP (China), Asia Pacific Senbo, UPM and other well-known companies have won corporate social responsibility, sustainable development and other awards, which have raised the society's positive awareness of the paper industry. Establish contacts and exchange visits with the Japan Paper Federation, the Canadian Pulp and Paper Products Council, and the Finnish Trade Association. Organize enterprises to participate in the "Asian Pulp and Paper Industry Sustainable Development Conference", sign a strategic cooperation agreement with the International Pulp and Paper Products Council, join the BRICS Business Council, conduct multi-channel, multi-form and all-round foreign exchanges and cooperation, and improve The international influence of the industry.

To set sail for the "14th Five-Year Plan", it is particularly important to formulate a clear development program. The reporter learned that on April 28, the China Paper Association held the third meeting of the Fifth Council (Expanded). At the meeting, Qian Yi, Secretary-General of China Paper Association "Development Outline" discussed with the participants. The "Outline" advocates to adhere to the supply-side structural reform as the main line, avoid blind expansion, and consciously transform from a production-oriented to a production, technology, and service-oriented. The "Outline" emphasizes the need to seize the initiative and reflect the new development concept. The expenditure industry must improve the level of development, optimize the industrial structure, improve development efficiency, maintain fair competition, and adhere to green development. In addition, the guidelines set up industry development goals for 2025 and 2035 to consolidate the industry foundation from the perspectives of talents and technology, and ultimately achieve high-quality, responsible and sustainable development.

The goal for 2025 is: the national total output of paper and paperboard reaches 140 million tons (the annual per capita consumption reaches 100 kilograms); the output of virgin pulp is 30 million tons; the output of paper products is 90 million tons; the unit product pulp consumption, energy consumption, water consumption, Pollutant emissions have maintained the international advanced level; product structure has continued to increase, and product quality and variety have been continuously improved.
