(Summary description)1、 What are the specific reasons for the rise in paper prices?
1. Reason 1: rising raw material prices
Recently, the Secretary General of the paper chamber of Commerce of the all China Federation of industry and Commerce pointed out that the rise of paper price is affected by the rise of global pulp raw material price, and there is also an abnormal phenomenon that the pulp price is higher than the paper price. According to market data, from July 2020 to March 2021, the average price of wood pulp per ton increased by more than 2574 yuan per ton.
2. Reason 2: the epidemic situation robbed toilet paper
During the outbreak of the epidemic last year, European and American countries began to grab toilet paper for epidemic prevention without masks. Brazil is a large producer of paper oars. At present, the epidemic is still very serious, and the pulp production has not returned to the right track. Therefore, the price of imported pulp has also soared.
3. Reason 3: the import of waste paper is prohibited
From 2021, China will completely ban the import of solid waste, and the Ministry of ecology and environment will no longer accept and approve the import application of solid waste. This also means that the import of domestic waste paper will be completely banned in 2021. In 2020, the demand gap of domestic waste pulp will be 3.8 million tons, which will take some time to be mediated by the market.
4. Reason 4: new version of plastic restriction order
As soon as the plastic restriction order was implemented, the demand for paper increased, especially in food packaging and packaging bags. According to relevant statistics, the cumulative output of plastic products in China will reach more than 81 million tons in 2019 alone, including 30000 tons of plastic straws. At present, there are alternatives to paper straw. It is understandable that paper will become a substitute for plastic.
There are many reasons for the rise in paper prices, from the initial macro recovery, to the loose economic atmosphere, and finally to the increase in the cost of CME wood.
