According to the latest data, the price of plastic products experienced a general decline this week. Polyester chips closed at 8,925 yuan per ton, marking a significant drop of 125 yuan/ton compared to last week’s price. Polyethylene prices ended the week at $1,680 per ton, down by $40/ton from the previous week. Similarly, polypropylene closed at $1,505 per ton, a decrease of $15/ton. Another product in the sector also saw a slight decline, ending the week at $1,800 per ton, down $15/ton from the prior week. Plastics have been widely adopted since their invention, but with growing environmental awareness, the industry has faced challenges. In the food packaging sector, concerns over "plastic" contamination have led to increased demand for eco-friendly alternatives. Companies are now prioritizing the development of safer and more sustainable materials to ensure food safety and protect public health. Many countries, including China, have implemented stricter regulations on plastic packaging. Chinese laws clearly state that recycled plastics cannot be used for food utensils, containers, or packaging materials. Food-grade plastic products must be clearly labeled with the word "food," along with a QS logo and number to ensure compliance and consumer trust. In terms of plastic packaging, film products make up the largest portion, accounting for nearly half of total production. The rapid growth of woven and hollow containers has also been notable, driven by increasing domestic demand and expanded investment in infrastructure. Agricultural development, rising demand for agrochemicals, and improved living standards have all contributed to higher consumption of food and beverage packaging, especially for dairy products. This trend has significantly boosted the production of woven and hollow containers as well as packaging films. As an essential part of food protection, plastic packaging plays a crucial role in ensuring food safety. The quality of raw materials, auxiliary components, and manufacturing processes directly affects the safety of the final product, which in turn impacts human health. As consumers become more health-conscious, the demand for safe and reliable plastic packaging continues to rise. Therefore, plastic packaging companies must adhere to strict safety standards and regulations to maintain market confidence. Currently, most food-grade plastic packaging is made from hydrocarbon-based materials. As long as the use of additives is strictly controlled and follows proper guidelines, the hygiene and safety of these materials can be ensured without posing risks to human health. However, the push for more environmentally friendly alternatives remains strong, as the industry seeks to reduce its ecological footprint while meeting consumer demands for sustainability.
