China's commodity packaging cans recycling rate is less than 30%

Tinplate is also known as tin plate. In recent years, tin cans have been widely used in outer packagings of tea, biscuits, and moon cakes. Their usage has increased sharply and their prices have risen. At present, the domestic demand for various types of tin cans is about 700 billion per year, and a considerable portion of raw materials depends on imports. However, the huge amount and useless materials, only for luxury packaging, the recovery rate is still less than 30%. Most of these metal cans have been idled or discarded after only a short period of consumption. They are said to be a serious waste by environmentalists.

Huge usage

The annual demand in China is about 700 billion

On the morning of December 2, Qin Aunt, a diligent family member, sold 36 yuan of tea in a cardboard box, coffee pot and milk powder jar. Two months ago, this pile of cans sold for up to 20 yuan.

Master Li said that in the past few years, the use of tinplate as the raw material of tea cans has been rising. Master Li has been collecting waste from Zhengzhou City for more than 10 years. In his memory, the tin cans “suddenly increased” in 2007. The price increase began in the second half of 2008. After he had received 5 cents for a dime, it was followed by a 3-pointer, a 4-pointer, and a maximum of 8 points. Now he has given two-and-two points to the biggest pot.

Tinplate originally originated in Bohemia. It was mainly used to make tableware and drinkware. Tinplate was known as “Yangtie” in China in the early years. In recent years, tinplate has been widely used by food packaging such as canned food, beverages, moon cakes, and tea.

The surface of tinplate is plated with tin, which is non-toxic and harmless. It can prevent moisture and oxidation. It has always been a packaging material for oil chemicals, household chemicals, medicine and health, cultural and education supplies, food and cosmetics. The important thing is that tin cans have a beautiful appearance, and the Chinese people's pursuit of a comfortable and comfortable life has led to an increase in the use and price of tinplate cans.

Behind the increase in scrap prices is a greater price increase in raw materials.

According to the China Packaging Technology Association, tinplate was 5,300 yuan per ton in the 1990s and rose to 6,400 yuan in 2000. In February 2007, it was 6,800 yuan. Since January 2008, the price of tinplate has risen rapidly, reaching 8,000 yuan per ton, and it has recently risen to 8,600 yuan.

At the same time, the amount and price of tin cans have also been increasing at the market terminals.

On November 26th, the reporter learned from a Shenzhen Can Making Co., Ltd. that teapots of different shapes and thicknesses each cost from 4 yuan to 6 yuan and purchased from over 10,000 yuan and settled in cash. Two years ago, these tanks were between 2.1 yuan and 3 yuan each. The price given by Zhou Cong, the marketing manager of a Can Making Co., Ltd. in Dongguan, was priced from RMB 3 to RMB 4 with small volume and simple process. The volume is large and the exquisite design is more than RMB 10, and more than 20,000 items must be booked. Only supply.

According to data from the China Packaging Technology Association, there are more than 1,400 metal packaging companies that use tinplate as raw materials in China. They consume about 1.42 million tons of tinplate each year, of which 400,000 tons are imported from Korea, Japan, and Australia.

Industry insiders estimate that the domestic demand for various kinds of tin cans is about 700 billion per year, of which about 60 million are used for tea packaging.

Endless packaging

Tin cans packed and packed in huge amounts, exquisitely overstated

Xiao Liu, who graduated from Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts, worked for a heavyweight advertising company in Henan. He was instructed to design several kinds of teas such as “Tie Guanyin”, “Xinyang Maojian” and “Yunnan Pu'er” during the Spring Festival gift packaging. box.

On December 2, from the design renderings provided by him, the reporter saw that the entire package was colorful and dazzling. Especially an Anxi Tieguanyin, from the vacuum pouch to the tin can, to the overall carton and handbag, a total of four layers of packaging, this four-layer pattern, style, including the color are exactly the same, even with the bag's rope and packaging The padding in the carton is a silk material.

In the Central Plains Tea City and Zhengzhou tea wholesale market each have a store Xinyang tea business owner Zhang believes that the tea business is the most important packaging, "luxury packaging conforms to the psychological needs of consumers, the more luxurious the more money."

Under this trend, tinplate is used on tea packaging on the one hand, and on the other hand, the production strives to be exquisite and even "beautiful."

Ms. Yan, a tea trader in Hangzhou, a tea plantation in the northern suburbs of Zhengzhou, said that the use of tin cans in Anxi Tieguanyin is the most popular tea in China. Huangshan Maofeng, Xihu Longjing, Dongting Biluochun, and Xinyang Maojian are closely followed by Junshan Yinzhen and Duyun. Maojian, Qimen black tea, etc. are also used.

There are dozens of tinplate tea cans in Yanjiamen store. They are classified according to capacity, shape, etc., and can be divided according to the weight of tea leaves. There are 7 types from 25g to 500g. There are 5 packages to 48 packages. A total of 8 species; divided by shape, square cans, long cans, round cans, triangular cans, oval cans, heart-shaped cans and shaped cans, as well as polygonal cans, iron cans, etc., "Fine to make you think of."

Correspondingly, tea packaging is also divided into multiple grades by the exquisite degree of these cans, and top-grade packaging is mainly based on tin cans. The rise of water is high, and a set of 500g of tea packed with tinplate cans is sold at prices ranging from RMB 300 to RMB 1,000. The best packaging for target customers is close to RMB 2,000.

Wasted "mines"

The recovery rate of tinplate cans in China is less than 30%

In our country, excessive packaging is in fact a ban. In 2007, the mandatory national standards for the “Regulations for Over-packaging of Commodities” have stipulated that the packaging of 5 categories of products such as health products, cosmetics, beverages, cakes, and tea shall not exceed 3 layers, and the packaging cost shall not exceed the ex-factory price of the goods. 15%.

In fact, this provision is almost useless in the field of tea. Reporters saw more than four layers of packaging on the tea market.

On the one hand, it is a huge amount of use and over-packaging. On the other hand, as a highly recyclable metal material, the recycling rate of tinplate in China is very low, and the metal packaging industry is also criticized for this.

“China has not yet formed a complete set of effective mechanisms for recycling packaging waste and related policy packages, and resource waste is very severe,” said Guo Liang, a member of the Friends of Nature Henan Volunteers Association and an environmentalist.

Guo Liang said that Japan is the country with the most over-packaging, but it has done a very fine job of recycling and has already formed a virtuous cycle. The Japanese government requires that the used metal cans be placed on designated sites as resource waste and carried together by a resource recovery vehicle to a dedicated resource center. After the iron can material is recycled, it is used in iron construction parts and even high-speed railway tracks in various buildings. In Germany and France, the government demanded that the recycling of metal waste be "reluctant to accept" by housewives. The recovery rates of cans in Germany and France were as high as 73.8%.

In China, people in the industry said that the recovery rate of tinplate cans is less than 30%.

Associated with this, a reporter’s data obtained from the Henan Steel Trade and Commerce Association is that China’s consumption and import of iron ore are both the largest countries in the world. With respect to resource consumption, we are twice the world’s average and it is the United States. 4.3 times that of Japan and 1.5 times Japan.

In an interview in the past few days, the reporter found that there are four ways for tinplate cans to be used after a short period of time: self-retention, reuse, sale, and discarding. After the tin cans are unpacked and unpacked, they will either continue to store tea and food, or be used for storage of debris, which is self-retention. Reuse means that a certain high-grade tea box will be completely preserved, filled with equal amount of tea and then given to others, this is for reuse. While tinplate cans stored at the recipient’s home, in addition to individual shapes that are beautifully retained for their own use, most are sold as waste, and some are discarded along with household waste.

“The cheap beer bottles can also be recycled. Is tinplate a one-time consumer product? This is a waste of mine...” said an environmentalist in the interview.
