Pulp molded packaging and cutlery have a wide market prospect in the global market, and even were regarded as the main method for dealing with “White Pollution” in western countries.
Nowadays, America has announced that 8500 restaurants have stopped using PSP meal boxes, which reduced about 10 billion pieces. According to statistics, about 67.39 million people buy various trays and meal boxes during lunch, about 50 billion pieces per year. Furthermore, the fast-food industry and supermarkets consume over 100 billion trays per year in America; even their production capacity is only 20%, and the rest 75% of the trays need to be imported from other countries. Five states of the USA announced that they would use eco-friendly pulp molded food packaging to replace the traditional plastic packaging in 2010. This decision made the sales of the sustainable packaging market increase by 25 billion dollars.
The consumption of trays can reach 60 billion in the fast-food industry and supermarkets in Japan; over 50% of the products need to be imported. Whatsmore, the trays consumption is over tens of billions of pieces per year in Korea, Taiwan, and other developed European countries. Southeast Asia would become the ideal area to export packaging. In June 2006, the EU passed a motion that the plastic packaging must be out of the catering market, and replaced with green, harmless pulp molded food packaging. East Asia, such as Japan and Korea, has gradually abandoned plastic food packaging these years.
Many industries still use plastic packaging in China, while pulp molded packaging products also get a good development opportunity in recent years. With various policies proclaimed by district governments, many companies began to respond to the policy and used pulp molded packaging instead of plastic packaging.
The pulp molded packaging has five classes: catering packaging, external food packaging, skin & health care packaging, Tobacco & Wine & Tea packaging, and consumer electronics packaging. YUTOECO is an eco brand focusing on producing sustainable packaging products, which are biodegradable and compostable.
In recent years, pulp molded packaging has developed so fast. We can see biodegradable packaging products, such as compostable bowls, cups, plates, etc. We believe that the pulp molded packaging will be around us soon.
