Paper Industry "Twelfth Five Year Plan" Released

Sinochem New Network News The National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the State Forestry Administration jointly issued the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” for the development of the papermaking industry on the 9th, stating that during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, the redundant construction of over-capacity papers will be strictly controlled and the forest will be accelerated. Paper integration project construction will increase the proportion of wood fiber in raw materials, and the proportion of autonomy for pulping and papermaking equipment will increase from 30% to 50%.

In addition, the small and scattered situation of China's paper industry is in urgent need of improvement, and the speed of industry consolidation will accelerate. By 2015, there will be more than 20 large-scale comprehensive pulping and papermaking enterprise groups with an annual output of over 1 million tons in China.

To reasonably control the scale of total papermaking volume, the "Plan" predicts that by 2015, the national paper and paperboard consumption will reach 114.7 million tons, an average annual increase of 4.6% from 2010; the total paper and paperboard production capacity will be about 13 million tons, and the total output will reach 11600 tons. Ten thousand tons, an average annual increase of 4.6%.

For this reason, the "planning" put forward several principles based on the adjustment of industrial structure as the main line.

"Plan" proposed that during the "12th Five-Year Plan" period, the total amount of papermaking will be controlled, and mainly domestic demand will be met, and the total amount will be properly controlled. The repeated construction of over-capacity paper will be strictly controlled and the market will be ordered to compete in an orderly manner. Accelerate the integration of existing enterprises, eliminate backward production capacity, prevent and control pollution, and promote industrial upgrading.

According to the industrial development goals set forth in the “Planning”, by 2015, there will be more than 20 large-scale comprehensive pulping and papermaking enterprise groups with an annual output of over 1 million tons, of which some of the company's sales will rank among the top 100 in the global paper industry. By strengthening the restructuring of enterprises, improving the form of industrial organization, and gradually forming an industrial organization structure in which large-scale enterprises are leaders and SMEs coordinate development.

Another important task that has been repeatedly emphasized in the “Planning” to accelerate the integration of forestry and paper is to speed up the construction of the forestry-paper integration project and increase the proportion of wood fiber. During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, the proportion of wood pulp in China's papermaking raw materials will increase from 22.0% to 24.3%, and the increase in wood pulp will be approximately 7 million tons, of which the proportion of domestic wood pulp will increase from 8.4% to 10.3%, with an increase in wood pulp. It is 4 million tons. The wood fiber raw material required depends on two kinds of resources at home and abroad, and the country gradually realizes the supply of raw material forest bases for the papermaking industry. Strengthen the construction of raw material forest bases, vigorously promote the integration of forestry and paper, cultivate fine tree species, increase the yield of forest land, increase the proportion of forestry bases that the company can control, and promote the development of “company + base + cooperative organization” and appropriate development of “company + base + farmer households”, etc. Business model to improve the base supply capacity. In the use of foreign fiber resources, domestic enterprises will be encouraged to go abroad to develop forest resources or to invest in the construction of large-scale forestry-paper integration projects and papermaking raw material forest bases. At the same time, enterprises are encouraged to import timber and wood chips from abroad and build large-scale commercial paper pulp in domestically suitable regions. And wood pulp paper.

The state will also encourage the domestic paper industry to strengthen the capacity for independent innovation and build more than 10 state-owned enterprise technology centers during the 12th Five-Year Plan period. Raise the overall R&D level of the production technology and equipment for the paper industry, increase the proportion of autonomy for pulping and papermaking from 30% to 50%, and the main pulp and paper technology and equipment of key backbone papermaking enterprises reached the international advanced level, and some independently developed pulp and paper Equipment is close to the international advanced level project.

In addition, the "planning" also clarified that during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, China's papermaking industry will firmly implement the binding index set in the aspect of energy conservation and emission reduction, that is, the average comprehensive energy consumption per ton of pulp paper is reduced by 18% compared with the end of the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period. The average amount of water withdrawal was reduced by 18%, and the total discharge of chemical oxygen demand in the industry dropped by 10%.
