"One Belt And One Road" provides a new direction for the development of the plastics industry
The plastic industry is one of the basic industries, and the plastic industry is also one of the important export industries in China. China has become the world's largest plastic industry, but the plastic industry is still facing a variety of challenges. International trade disputes have intensified, with the plastics industry hit hard by trade disputes between China and the US, as well as between the US and Europe. Domestic economic environment is stagnant, environmental protection is pressing, plastic industry pressure increases, price advantage loses, market competitiveness weakens, many plastic enterprises withdraw from the market one after another.
The "One Belt And One Road" strategy undoubtedly provides a new direction for the development of the plastic industry. The route of "One Belt And One Road" involves 65 countries and regions. The energy supply, international trade, financial support and new economic growth will drive China's terminal demand.
Domestic pipe material enterprises can promote the demand for plastic pipes of construction projects by taking advantage of the domestic "One Belt And One Road" involved in regional traffic construction, park construction and new urbanization construction. On the other hand, we can strengthen the cooperation with Chinese construction units, and promote overseas projects to adopt more domestically produced plastic pipe products. It is fair to say that the Belt and Road Initiative provides a good answer to the question of "going global".
In addition to resolving the domestic surplus of poor production capacity, the renewable plastics industry will also have new opportunities for development.
Data show that "One Belt And One Road" along the southeast Asian countries economic development is relatively backward, according to incomplete understanding, waste plastics industry's labor costs in Indonesia for $300, the labor costs of about $250 in Vietnam, in Cambodia labor costs about $100, and China's pearl river delta region labor costs around 600 - around $650.
Although recently some countries in Southeast Asia have also formulated a ban on the import of waste plastics, but its ban is not the same as China, the scope of the ban is not very large and the scale is not very strict. As a result, companies struggling with environmental scrutiny in China can also try to export plastic waste to Southeast Asian countries. Therefore, China's waste plastic industry can completely transfer the previous work of high labor intensity and low added value of products in the industrial chain to Southeast Asia, and then import recycled plastic particles to reduce costs and increase profits.
In addition, according to customs statistics, the export market of polyolefin products in China in 2016 is mainly Malaysia, Vietnam and other Southeast Asian regions, followed by North Korea and South Korea. A large number of Chinese polyolefin products can be exported to southeast Asia because of the low price of domestic raw materials, which forms spread arbitrage with major export regions and facilitates the operation of domestic exporters. It is believed that this advantage will continue to be released in the One Belt And One Road journey.
In fact, "One Belt And One Road" to the plastic industry benefits far more than this, its opportunities for the plastic industry to create is huge, sustainable. I believe that under the guidance of "One Belt And One Road" strategy, the development of China's plastic industry will be better and better. Therefore, plastic related fields, related enterprises should actively layout seize the opportunity, promote enterprise development, promote industrial reform, create a new economic future!
