How is the market for recyclable bamboo products?

There are "the strictest restrictions on plastic system" ─ "opinions on further strengthening plastic pollution control", including non-degradable plastic bags, disposable plastic tableware, hotels, hotels, hotels disposable plastic supplies, courier plastic packaging and other plastic products will be gradually reduced to banned, a clear countdown to the ban.

For the bamboo and wood industry, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity. Bamboo straws, bamboo environmental protection tableware and other disposable bamboo products may replace take-out, milk tea, hotels and other disposable plastic supplies, bringing a huge market space to the bamboo products industry.

Disposable bamboo products market status

Along with the increasing awareness of environmental protection, people are more and more aware of the problem of plastic pollution, and it is urgent to reduce the pollution of plastic to the environment.

In recent years, China's take-out industry is hot, but take-out generates a large amount of bamboo teaspoon plastic waste. As the growth of take-out revenue is realized, the use of plastic lunch boxes cannot be ignored. Generally speaking, a takeaway includes lunch boxes, vegetable boxes, even soup boxes, small dish boxes, condiment boxes, etc. With such a huge takeaway market, the amount of waste plastic generated can be imagined.

There is no doubt that choosing biodegradable materials such as bamboo powder and bamboo fiber to replace plastic will bring huge business opportunities to the disposable bamboo products market.

Currently on the market, in addition to disposable bamboo chopsticks, toothpicks and other traditional disposable bamboo products, disposable bamboo products with more contact with people can be said to be bamboo environmental tableware, such as disposable chopsticks of bamboo plastic. Bamboo eco-friendly tableware is made of bamboo strips, bamboo charcoal or bamboo fiber as raw materials. Bamboo tableware can be directly put into microwave ovens, ovens and refrigerators for use, and no toxic substances will be precipitated, such tableware can be naturally decomposed and absorbed by the soil after use, or can be recycled and shredded for use as fertilizer or made into egg trays and other products.

Because of its natural antibacterial properties and natural degradability, bamboo fiber has been widely used to make bamboo environmental protection tableware. In recent years, China's bamboo fiber composite environmental tableware has grown in terms of total imports and exports, total amount, and unit price level.

However, the bamboo fiber composite environmental tableware industry in the rapid development of the same time, but also exposed a lot of urgent problems, such as the lack of unified industry standards and regulatory system, product quality varies, counterfeit, design innovation capacity, etc..

It is reported that China has developed into a world bamboo fiber tableware production and consumption of large countries, but has not formed a unified bamboo fiber tableware industry national standards and industry standards, and the lack of product quality traceability system.

And the industry production enterprises operating scale is mostly small, the overall concentration is low, has not formed the advantage of leading enterprises. For a long time, the industry has been in the state of "low price competition" between small and medium-sized enterprises, product homogenization is serious, and market competition is increasingly fierce.

At the same time, bamboo powder has also become one of the raw materials for the disposable production of bamboo products. For example, a bamboo fully degradable materials project will be processed into bamboo powder water cups, straws and other supplies, degradable, non-polluting. The bamboo powder is produced from the main bamboo sources in China, such as Sanming, Fujian Province. Bamboo integral degradable material solves the problem that ordinary plastic is difficult to degrade and pollute seriously, and solves the problem that general degradable material is not high temperature resistant, not cold resistant, low mechanical strength, difficult to use, difficult to popularize and expensive, it can replace ordinary plastic to produce disposable tableware, film bags, packaging materials, etc.

What is the disposable bamboo products market?

In recent years, the output of plastic products in China has fluctuated greatly, and the national output of plastic products reached 81,841,600 tons in 2019.

Once again look at the courier industry, the State Post Bureau data show that 80% of China's paper-based courier packaging materials can be recycled, while 99% of courier plastic waste can not be effectively used due to the low recycling value.

Take food and beverage takeaway, with the continuous penetration of network technology, the traditional business in the field of food service is also actively transforming, takeaway categories continue to expand, quality continues to improve, delivery services continue to optimize the consumer experience is getting better and better, the online takeaway market is developing rapidly, becoming a new industry in the food and beverage industry.

With the strong growth of take-out order amount and the hot economy of ground stalls, the demand for disposable tableware is huge, and the demand for disposable tableware is huge with a broad market prospect. But this is exactly where the potential of the disposable bamboo products market lies.

In addition, with the increasing decline of the milamine tableware, green tableware but gradually rise, priced at three to four hundred dollars of the grain shell cutting board is very popular online, a cup of thirty to forty dollars, especially in the field of baby tableware, the price can reach thirty to forty dollars, especially in the field of baby tableware, has accounted for half of the mountain.

It can be seen that in the popularity of environmentally friendly tableware, the surge in food and beverage takeaway, disposable bamboo products market will also gain good market prospects.

In short, in the context of promoting "low-carbon, environmental protection, ecological" consumption, people pay more and more attention to environmental protection, pay more attention to the quality of life and environmental health, bamboo fiber tableware, bamboo powder biodegradable material plastic bags and other disposable bamboo products will usher in important development opportunities with its low-carbon, environmental protection, safety, cost-effective features.
