European Countries Accelerate Stimulating Recycling of Packaging Waste

The European packaging industry has a large market and the situation varies from region to region. Germany, France, Italy and the United Kingdom have an advantage.

Germany has earned a reputation in the world for its emphasis on environmental protection. Germany is still using different general glass packaging for all packaging, while disposable PET bottles are less used. Germany was the first country in Europe to establish legislation on packaging waste, and the regulations were implemented in 1991 with the aim of stimulating the recycling and recycling of packaging materials.

The Italian packaging industry made great efforts to develop new technologies from 1990 to 2000. For example, plastic packaging holds a high share in the use of packaging materials.

The packaging industry in the UK focused on the development of new technologies from 1990 to 2000, and its plastic packaging also accounted for a high share of the use of packaging materials.

At the same time, Eastern Europe's packaging industry contains a lot of opportunities. There has been a marked improvement in this area, but imported packaging materials are still important in meeting the demand for packaging in the region.

Taking the Russian beverage industry as an example, it has established a large number of canning plants and is continuing to build, which will generate a large demand for beverage cans.

Many European major tinplate manufacturers have announced that they will raise the price of tinplate from January 1, 2004. The increase in European tinplate prices will also promote the development of the European packaging market.

In the continuous expansion of the PET bottle market, the collection and recycling of PET bottles has attracted the attention of European countries. The use of PET bottles will play an important role in expanding the European packaging market.

In Norway's breakfast market, there is a kind of cereal packaged in new paper. This type of food packaging does not use plastic film-made inner bags at all. Instead, it directly uses paper packages that can protect the contents. Due to the high cost of paper materials, such packaging is not suitable for cheap products, but its good environmental protection concept has been favored by the industry.
