The pulp molding market has exceeded 30 billion yuan, and the share of non-wood pulp products has increased rapidly.
Pulp molding uses waste paper as raw material, and uses special molds on the molding machine to shape paper products of a certain shape. It is a three-dimensional papermaking technology that has developed rapidly in recent years. Since the raw material is waste paper, its raw materials come from a wide range of sources. The product is recyclable and biodegradable. Due to its certain strength, it can be overlapped and is easy to transport. At present, pulp molding has been widely used in corner protectors, fillers, trays, packaging containers, buffer packaging and other fields. Common products include egg trays, electronic product linings, and disposable lunch box tableware.
Industrial Research Center released “Pulp Mold Industry for 2023-2028” The “In-depth Analysis of the Plastic Industry and the “14th Five-Year Plan” Development Plan Guidance Report” shows that in recent years, with the continuous development of pulp molding technology, pulp molded products have been used in more and more markets. At the same time, as domestic and foreign environmental protection policies become stricter and environmental awareness increases, more and more countries and companies tend to use environmentally friendly products such as pulp molding, and the global pulp molding market maintains rapid growth. In 2022, the global pulp molding market size has exceeded 30 billion yuan. It is expected that the global pulp molding market size will exceed 40 billion yuan in 2028, and the industry development prospects are good.
(1) The demand for thermoforming pulp molding is growing rapidly
Pulp molding is divided into various types according to the molding process: thick wall (slush molding), transfer molding, thermoforming, and processed pulp. Among them, thermoforming is also called thin-walled molding fiber packaging. It uses multiple heated molds to manufacture products. With a thickness ranging from 2 to 4mm, thermoformed pulp packaging has a smooth surface, fine shape, minimal draft angle, and relatively denser walls due to the multiple heating mold process. It is widely used in the manufacture of clamshells and food service disposables, such as Cups, plates, bowls and tableware are also widely used in packaging fields that require high appearance. They are currently second only to transfer molding products, and their demand is growing rapidly.
(2) Cups are one of the main product forms of pulp molding
Molded fiber cups are wide-mouth disposable packaging produced using non-wood pulps such as bagasse and straw pulp, as well as soft and hard wood pulps such as newsprint pulp and wood pulp. These cups are widely used in food packaging such as butter, chocolate, tomatoes Packaging of products such as sauces, preserves, dairy products (cheese, milk cream, yogurt), mayonnaise, jam, honey and edible oils.
(3) The share of non-wood pulp products has increased rapidly
Pulp molding raw materials can be divided into two categories: wood pulp and non-wood pulp. The use of wood pulp for paper production has led to deforestation problems, which has had a huge negative impact on the environment, leading to an imbalance in the ecosystem. At the same time, the increase in paper demand and consumption has also led to the depletion of wood resources used for paper production, resulting in a limited supply of raw materials. Therefore non-wood pulps are used as alternative feedstocks. With the improvement of non-wood pulp technology, non-wood pulp can now produce pulp and paper with the same quality as wood pulp. Since non-wood pulp production usually uses agricultural food crop residues, grass and leaves that cannot be directly applied, it has relatively high With strong renewable capacity and environmental friendliness, as an excellent substitute for wood pulp, its share is rapidly increasing.
