The production and consumption of paper and paperboard in China rank first in the world. With the major adjustment of the world economic pattern and the obvious acceleration of China's economic and social transformation, the constraints of resources, energy and environment faced by the development of China's paper industry have become increasingly prominent. China's paper industry has formed a new production layout, showing the trend of industrial clusters. According to the industrial layout of the paper industry, the provinces with paper and paperboard output of more than 1 million tons in 2018 include Shandong, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Henan, Hebei, Fujian, Hunan, Sichuan, Anhui, Guangxi, Hubei and Jiangxi. The total output of paper and paperboard reached 72.71 million tons, accounting for 91.12% of the total output of paper and paperboard in China, of which Shandong has the highest output, reaching 13.5 million tons. From the completion of paper and paperboard production in China's provinces and the development and change of paper making regional layout, the concentration of production has become increasingly high. Three major paper making regions, namely, the Bohai Rim Region, the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta, have initially formed. The eastern region of China has become the main base of China's paper industry production. Economic development and challenges of China's paper industry Papermaking is one of the four great inventions in ancient China, with a history of more than 2000 years. Compared with the western developed countries, the industrialization of papermaking technology in China is relatively late. Although it has achieved remarkable results in more than 10 years of development, it has become one of the basic industries of the national economy. However, after entering the 21st century, facing the impact of economic globalization and the change of world economic development pattern, the economic development situation of China's paper industry is still very serious.
1. Analysis on the Development Trend of China's Paper Industry Affected by the 2008 world financial crisis, global economic growth has been increasingly slow. During this period, China's macro-economic development has also faced many development challenges, especially the introduction of the“ Reindustrialization” After the development strategy, China's traditional industries have experienced an unprecedented development crisis, and the paper industry is one of them. In addition, in order to further accelerate the new journey of building a well-off society in an all-round way, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China; The 18th CPC National Congress” Since the meeting, the overall market economic pattern of the country has been adjusted many times according to the actual development situation, requiring the adjustment of the operation mode, production technology and management mode of major industries, and a number of policies related to macroeconomic development have been issued successively, hoping to improve the market economic environment of China.
2. Main factors affecting the economic development of paper industry In the context of economic globalization, the current development tasks of China's market economy are: first, to meet the development trend of the times to achieve its own transformation and upgrading, and to solve its own overcapacity problem; Second, we should accelerate our own scientific and technological innovation, meet the trend of economic globalization, and embark on the road of standardized, international and modern development through our own innovation in production mode, business mode and production technology. However, as far as the current development is concerned, there are still obstacles to the economic growth of China's paper industry, especially in the following two aspects:
On the one hand: high dependence on foreign raw materials
On the other hand, the pressure on energy conservation and emission reduction is still great With more and more attention paid to the ecological problems caused by environmental pollution, low-carbon economy has gradually entered people's vision and become a factor that must be considered for industrial development. Green supply chain is a modern management method that comprehensively considers environmental impact and resource efficiency. Paper industry is an industry with high energy consumption and serious pollution, which has a large space for energy conservation and emission reduction. Therefore, it is imperative to build a green supply chain for paper industry.
How to improve the international competitiveness of China's paper industry? The analysis of the international competitiveness of China's paper industry by the Chinese Academy of Mechanical Engineering from a low-carbon perspective is of great significance for improving the comprehensive international competitiveness of China's paper industry. The specific methods are as follows: 1. Practice the concept of circular economy and adjust the structure of paper industry Paper enterprises should actively practice the concept of circular economy, rationally use resources, improve the recycling rate of waste paper, and gradually realize the concept of sustainable development of paper enterprises and win-win between enterprises and society. Actively adjust the layout and structure of China's paper industry, build an ecological industrial park, realize the ecological industrial agglomeration, give play to the ecological effect, promote the optimization and upgrading of China's paper industry structure, reasonably allocate resources, and achieve low-carbon development.
2. Develop new process technology and equipment to promote technological innovation of enterprises Technological innovation can improve the utilization efficiency of enterprise resources, and obtain higher output with less input. Technological innovation can not only improve the economic contribution rate, but also enhance the international competitiveness of China's paper industry, and promote the scientific and technological progress of the entire industry and even the country. Paper enterprises should actively develop and apply advanced technology and equipment, comprehensively promote cleaner production, energy conservation, emission reduction, achieve low-carbon sustainable development, and build core competitiveness.
3. Develop high-yield forestry model and increase the integration of forest and paper Increasing the integrated development of forestry and paper can not only increase the control ability of enterprises on raw materials, but also enhance the bargaining power of suppliers and improve the competitiveness of enterprises. The government should increase the implementation of“ Forest paper integration” We will encourage enterprises to build fast-growing forest raw material bases and improve the self-sufficiency of wood pulp.
4. Implement the strategy of large enterprise groups and accelerate the implementation of ecological industrial development China's paper enterprises should implement the strategy of large enterprise groups, take the road of merger and association, expand their scale, concentrate their advantageous resources, speed up the implementation of the ecological development of the paper industry, and form an international competitive advantage.
5. Increase the elimination of backward production capacity and make full use of regional advantages to develop the paper industry China's paper industry is mainly distributed in the eastern coastal areas, where the advantages of low transportation costs can be fully utilized to develop high-grade paper products with imported chemical wood pulp as raw materials. The economy of the central and western regions is relatively backward, so we can support enterprises to develop paper products with good quality and relatively low price by virtue of the advantages of rich non wood fiber resources and low price in this region, and use barren mountains and slopes to speed up the construction of high yield and fast-growing forest raw material bases. Case Study of Paper Industry Park Dafenggang Economic Zone Paper Industry Park
 Dafenggang Economic Zone Paper Industry Park, covering an area of 12.63 square kilometers, with a pulping capacity of 3 million tons/year; The production and processing capacity of various types of paper and paperboard is 5.8 million tons/year. Efforts will be made to build the park into an ecological park, a science and technology park, a safety park, a low-carbon park, and supporting infrastructure such as roads, pipe networks, power supply, heat supply, sewage treatment, and communication. Dongguan Zhongtang Beihaizi Paper Industry Park
 Zhongtang Town is officially approved by the province as“ Paper making professional town” As an opportunity, according to the requirements of scale and grade, build and improve the Beihaizai Paper Industry Park around the Beihaizai River, integrate and transform the paper enterprises, achieve emission standards and develop a circular economy. With an annual support fund of 1 billion yuan, the paper industry will become a long-term industry, a health industry and a brand industry, enhance competitiveness, build a modern paper base, and become an important pillar industry of Zhongtang Town.
