It has already passed in 2018 and is coming in 2019. This year, for the paper packaging industry, it can be described as mixed. Xiaobian has sorted out 18 major events that have an important impact on the entire industry. I will review 2018 with you.
1. Rongcheng Paper was down for 3 months due to shortage of waste
On January 18, Rongcheng Paper announced that it will be affected by China's environmental protection acceptance and import waste paper approval process, and with the initial inspection and commissioning after commissioning, Hubei Rongcheng Paper No. 1 paper machine will be shut down from January 18 to mid-April. Overhaul and maintenance, it is estimated that the suspension of production for 3 months will affect about 103,000 tons of production capacity. The paper machine originally planned to use imported waste paper to produce 3A kraftliner paper. However, due to China's restrictions on imported waste paper, Hubei Rongcheng Paper failed to obtain the import waste paper license, so it can only use the national waste to produce B grade cardboard paper with a slightly lower grade, and the production cost remains high.
2. Yutong and Jinzhicai Group jointly established a new company
On January 4, 2018, Yutong Technology announced that it intends to invest a total of no more than RMB 200 million with Jiangsu Jinzhicai Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Jinzhi Cai Groupâ€) in Suqian City, Jiangsu Province. High-end environmental packaging project.

(tentative name, hereinafter referred to as “Jiangsu Yutongâ€), Yutong Technology holds 51%, and Jinzhicai Group holds 49%. On July 5, Jiangsu Yutong Packaging Technology Co., Ltd. held a grand opening ceremony.
3. Imported waste paper containing impurities to implement new standards
The new standard for the import waste paper content was implemented on March 1, 2018, which was significantly reduced to 0.5% from the 1.5% in 2005. From the perspective of the domestic paper mill, it means that even the paper mill has been approved to import enough waste paper. With the license quota, it may be difficult to purchase sufficient quantities of imported waste paper. In particular, small and medium-sized paper mills will have a greater impact on imported waste paper in 2018, which may further strengthen the procurement needs of small and medium-sized paper mills in the national waste market. The high price is likely to be high, so due to cost support, the price of boxboard corrugated paper will continue to remain high.
4. Apple's 2018 TOP 200 supplier announced that there are 10 printing and packaging companies

5. Meiyingsen invested 430 million to build a smart packaging base in Xi'an
Meiyingsen Group Co., Ltd. and Xi'an Economic and Technological Development Zone Administrative Committee signed the "Intelligent Packaging R&D and Production Base Project Entry Agreement" (hereinafter referred to as "Agreement") on April 2, 2018.

7. The General Administration of Customs restricts US waste imports for one month, and the national waste and raw paper skyrocket
On May 2, the State General Administration of Customs issued a special document, "Notice of the General Administration of Customs on the Implementation of Risk Early Warning and Control Measures for Imported US Waste Materials", which made a heavy punch for the import of US waste. Since May 4, 2018, 100% out of the box of waste materials from the United States, 100% inspection and quarantine, suspected thermosetting waste plastics, metal waste containing powder, and special identification of waste paper Paper (silicone oil paper, dipped wax paper, thermal paper, moisture-proof paper, etc.), with suspected hazardous waste, 100% laboratory testing analysis. Implement Class A risk warning measures for China Inspection and Certification Group North America Co., Ltd. for one month (May 4 to June 4, 2018). During the period, the company no longer undertakes pre-shipment inspection of imported waste materials, and suspends its use of China's imported waste materials pre-shipment inspection information management system. Since this time, the price of waste and finished packaging paper has soared. In half a month, the price of tons of paper has risen by a thousand. The speed of the increase in the history of Chinese papermaking can also be said to be unprecedented.
In August and July, the paper mills stopped production
Affected by different factors, domestic paper mills set off a wave of downtime in June. Coated paper, cultural paper, white cardboard due to insufficient downstream demand, corporate stocks soared, finished paper prices continued to fall, leading companies have stopped production insured, the machine is generally down in 10-15 days. Due to the import and export control of packaging paper, the national waste price soared, and the price increase could not be transmitted to the downstream carton industry. The paper mill had to stop production of some machines, and the machine was shut down for 7-10 days.
On July 15th and July 16th, Dongguan Xiaolong, Taicang Xiaolong, Liansheng Longhai Paper and Shanying Liansheng released the shutdown maintenance plan. The downtime was concentrated at the end of July, involving paper-type corrugated paper, whiteboard paper and cattle card. Paper, cultural paper, and Taicang Xiaolong have more than 20 days of downtime on different machines.
9. Leading paper enterprises have successively issued new standards for the acquisition of state waste
Since July, leading paper companies such as Nine Dragons Paper, Yongfengyu and Jinzhou Paper have successively issued new requirements for the acquisition of waste paper, and further standardized the quality of waste paper. As the industry leader, Nine Dragons Paper has now set strict new standards, which just gave the chaotic industry a timely sedative. As paper mills' waste paper acquisition processes and standards are increasingly updated, the entire national waste market will become increasingly orderly, streamlined, rigorous, and standardized. This has a very good effect on the formation of the future market system.
10. Sino-US trade war started, US import tariffs surged 25%
On August 8, 2018, the State Council Customs Tariff Commission decided to include all the categories in the "Notice of the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council on Adding Tariffs to Imports of US$50 Billion US Imports" (TAA Announcement [2018] No. 5) Approximately US$16 billion worth of US imports, including waste paper, will be subject to a 25% tariff increase from 12:01 on August 23, 2018. In the case of US imports and direct imports requiring a 25% increase in taxes, the additional economic costs of converting US waste into waste paper pulp boards in overseas markets in the short term have become more acceptable. Therefore, we believe that Chinese companies will accelerate the process of investing in waste paper pulp lines in overseas markets.
11. Ink implementation of new standards
At the end of August, in order to implement the Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China and reduce the impact on the environment and human health during the production, use and disposal of gravure inks and flexo inks, the Ministry of Eco-Environment formulated and issued the technical requirements for environmental labeling products. Printing Ink and Flexo Printing Ink This standard provides environmental protection requirements for gravure inks and flexo ink raw materials, production processes and toxic and hazardous substances in products. It will be implemented on October 1, 2018. Since the date of implementation, the technical requirements for environmental labeling products, gravure ink and flexo ink (HJ/T 371-2007) have been abolished.
12. Shanying frequently acquires overseas companies in 2018
On August 16, GLOBAL WIN CO., LTD, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shanying International, reached an agreement with Verso of the United States to acquire the company's plant in Wickliffe, Kentucky for $16 million. Shanying International's overseas expansion first came into view. In July 2017, the company acquired a 100% stake in Nordic Paper Holding AB, a Swiss company with a price of 2.4 billion Swedish kronor (about 1.952 billion yuan). This is the first in China. A company that acquires paper mills in EU countries. The acquisition also met the company's expectations. From January to June 2018, the unaudited net profit of Nordic Paper was RMB 156.653 million.
In April 2018, the company also participated in the project of annual production of 400,000 tons of pulp mills by Boreal Bioref Ltd. and became a major shareholder. The project is in the early stages of planning.
In June 2018, Mountain Link International, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shanying International, acquired the Dutch Recycling Resources Recycling Corporation (WPT) to strengthen the company's waste paper recycling capacity in Europe.
Since the beginning of this year, Shanying International has completed an important overseas acquisition almost every two months. This speed and ability is enough to shock the global paper industry.
13. Rongcheng roars the ban, and voluntarily cancels the A-share listing
Rongcheng Huanke released a major decision on September 10: voluntarily canceled the A-share listing! And this decision has a lot to do with the ban on abolition issued by mainland China.

The approval amount of waste paper import licenses in the first three quarters of this year totaled 238,800 tons, accounting for only 13% of the total demand for recycled paper. . Rongcheng Huanke applied for mainland A-share listing in late December 2017, which was initiated based on the creation of greater shareholders' rights.

Summarizing the whole 2018, the problem of the paper packaging industry has emerged. Many enterprises have left the market in the environmental storm and the storm of capacity, which caused the industry panic.

During the year, a number of new policies came to the fore, and the industry compliance process accelerated; industry concentration increased, and the advantages of leading paper packaging companies were highlighted.
In the coming 2019, paper packaging companies should continue to cultivate their internal strengths, change in time, and better meet new opportunities and overcome new challenges!
