"Driven by the global wave of'plastic bans', the market price of degradable cellulose film has risen steadily. At present, the production capacity of our 18 cellulose film production lines has reached the highest level in history." HBJH Biomaterials Technology Co., Ltd. The company's CTO Dr. Fan told us.
Cellulose film is a film-like, high-transparency, glossy regenerated cellulose film made from natural fibers such as cotton pulp and wood pulp and glued. Unlike plastic films that are extremely degradable and produce a large amount of white pollution, cellulose films are green and degradable and are the main alternative to plastic products.
There are 4 cellulose film manufacturers with the strongest scientific research capabilities in China. HBJH took the lead in applying it to the field of pharmaceutical tube-grade cellulose membranes, and has grown into a leader in the pharmaceutical tube-grade cellulose membrane industry.
The cellophane/cellulose film production capacity is mainly distributed in Asia and Europe, both of which account for about 75% of the global total production capacity.
Among them, China is the country with the highest cellulose film/cellophane production capacity in the world, with a production capacity of about 32,000 tons in 2019. HBJH is at the forefront of the industry with its excellent environmental protection and safety control procedures and an annual production capacity of 7,000 tons.
In terms of craftsmanship, cellulose film/cellophane is a relatively mature product. Although there are many packaging application scenarios for food, medicine, fireworks, etc. due to its environmental protection and biodegradability, in fact, due to higher manufacturing costs, the overall production capacity of the cellophane industry is far from the same as the plastic PPP production capacity of several thousand yuan per ton. compared to.
The cost factor is the main factor that prevents the rapid expansion of cellulose film/cellophane applications. Although the cellulose film/cellophane is easy to break after entering water and cannot completely replace the plastic film in terms of performance, through the breakthroughs in the research and development of laminating, coating, heat sealing, printing, gluing and other processes, cellophane will be used in e-commerce, agriculture, etc. The application prospects in the field are very promising.
"We have made breakthroughs in the fields of laminating, coating, heat sealing, printing, etc., centering on the exclusive industrial chain advantages of HBJH pharmaceutical grade cellulose film, the company has grown to become the exclusive industry leader at the medical management level in China." CTO of HBJH Dr. Fan said.
