Recently, L'OREAL group and paper cosmetics packaging package developed by Alb & E A, a cosmetics packaging supplier, will be put into use for the first time in the new 200 ml moisturizing sunscreen lotion of L'OREAL group brand, and it will be listed in France before being launched into the global market. A spokesman for L'Oreal said it was "the first step in a record time" for both sides. And this is not the only application of paper cosmetics tubular packaging, and will be applied to more brands of products in the future.

  

In addition, the food industry has already put "paper instead of plastic" into practice. More and more takeout catering businesses have begun to choose paper packaging, and enterprises have introduced safer and healthier paper products through technological innovation.

 

Ban on plastic has become a global craze

 

With the continuous improvement of people's awareness of the harm caused by plastic products and their impact on the environment, at the beginning of this year, the national development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of ecological environment issued the "catalogue of plastic products prohibited and restricted from production, sales and use (Draft)", which means that by the end of 2022, the consumption of disposable plastic products in China will be significantly reduced.

 

It is not only China that has taken measures, but the ban on plastics has become a global craze. The European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and other places have issued a comprehensive ban on disposable plastics timetable. Some well-known brands also followed suit and put forward plans to ban plastics to suppliers.

 

In this case, the voice of "replacing plastic with paper" in various industries is increasing. In order to meet the health needs of consumers, relevant enterprises have begun to introduce paper products instead of plastic products.

 

The rise of paper cosmetic packaging technology materials are still limited

 

In addition to L'Oreal's paper-based cosmetics tubular packaging, in the domestic market, some new cosmetics brands have begun to adopt the packaging strategy of "replacing plastic with paper". The reporter found in the e-commerce platform that a personalized color makeup brand selected paper packaging materials in more than ten kinds of products. The brand used in the eye shadow and blush products was the design of the pure paper tray, and the degradable oil paper wrapped Lip Glaze. It hoped to interpret the brand style through the creative blending of paper packaging materials and other environmental protection materials.

 

However, from the current market situation, it is still a small number of brands that directly choose paper as the packaging of skin care or color cosmetics products. At present, both "a" and "tube" packaging materials are limited in the production capacity of "paper" and "paper packaging". The person in charge admitted that due to the process bottleneck, for many beauty categories, paper materials are difficult to achieve through the existing injection molding and blow molding process, and will not become the mainstream in the field of color makeup in a short time. In addition, the price of biodegradable materials including paper is still high. For brands and consumers, paper materials will also have some limitations in highlighting the high-end image of products.

 

 

Although the pace of "replacing plastic with paper" in cosmetic industry is limited, for food industry, "paper instead of plastic" seems to be the development trend in food packaging, takeout and catering packaging.

 

With the development of domestic takeout industry, paper packaging has become the takeout packaging choice for many businesses. According to a survey on a takeout platform, nearly half of the takeout businesses provide paper packaging boxes and paper packaging bags, and a few businesses use plastic bags as the main packaging. Xiao Li, a delivery man, told reporters that a large part of the takeaway he sent now is paper-based packaging. "Especially some chain stores, are paper packaging, plastic bag packaging is slowly reducing."

 

 

In a chain coffee shop, the reporter saw that the staff provided customers with a kind of environmental protection paper straw. As early as April last year, the brand began to try to stop providing plastic straws in chain stores in Shanghai and Shenzhen, and instead used direct cup lids and paper straws. Many domestic material suppliers have launched paper straws to attract more enterprises.

 

In addition to paper straws, pulp tableware has become a new favorite in the food industry in recent years. Xiamen Bioileader Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. uses natural sugarcane pulp and other renewable resources as raw materials to produce environmentally-friendly, non-toxic and 100% natural degradation pulp tableware. The paper tableware products can be degraded within 31 days after use, turn into organic fertilizer, return to nature, reduce to carbon dioxide and water, and will not bring pollution to the environment.

 

Under the advocacy of "plastic restriction order", people will use paper products more and more widely to replace the original plastic products. It is still difficult to decide whether "replacing plastic with paper" will become a new choice for more industries in the future and realize normalization and marketization. However, from the application of paper products, it is not difficult to find that if the future paper materials can make better solutions in terms of cost and practicability, it may become a more attractive choice.
