The Future Development Direction Of WPC Industry

The Future Development

Direction Of The WPC Industry

 

     As global forest resources are eroded step by step, the call for protection of forest resources to find new materials is growing. How to deal with discarded plastic waste and waste wood has become a major problem in the world. Traditional wood, heavy bamboo and other materials have inherent disadvantages such as short life, easy corrosion, and high maintenance costs. They have become the consumables of many outdoor projects and scenic spots, which violates the current principle of sustainable development of green environmental protection. The wood-plastic composite new material inherits the dual advantages of plastic and plant fiber. It is not only waterproof, moisture-proof, mildew-proof and termite-proof, but also has a long life, zero formaldehyde, no pollution, no pollution, and can be recycled. At the same time, it has good plasticity, individualized customization in colorful style, and the appearance is close to solid wood, and the maintenance cost is extremely low.

 

Driven by domestic policies, the wood-plastic industry has been included in the national key support for emerging industries, and the overall improvement of the industrial chain and the ecological chain has been carried out. With the resources of all parties, the technological level and performance indicators of China's wood-plastic industry have made a qualitative leap. For example, the new generation of co-extruded wood-plastic products of Yongsheng Plastic Wood has even reached the international level. These have played a huge role in promoting the brand awareness of China's wood-plastic industry and further absorbing the international market share from the middle and low-end markets.

 

      At present, China faces enormous pressures on resource protection and environmental pollution. The characteristics of wood plastic products, such as resource utilization, product plasticization, industrial environmental protection, application economics, and low-carbon recycling, can effectively alleviate the above problems and should be popularized.

 

Wood-plastic composite materials are collectively referred to as Wood-Plastic Composites in foreign countries, referred to as WPC, and domestically known as plastic wood. Wood-plastic composite material is a new composite material made of wood fiber material and thermoplastic as the main raw material, processed by melt compound extrusion or molding. The material itself has the dual characteristics of wooden material and plastic.

 

      According to incomplete statistics, the output of wood-plastic composite new materials in 2018 is conservatively estimated at 2.5 million tons, ranking first in the world, accounting for half of the world's wood-plastic composite new material production, but the products are mainly sold abroad. The reason behind this group of data Have to let us ponder.

 

According to this Shanghai exhibition and some online information, the future development direction of China's wood-plastic industry is:

 

       We will develop new products, new technologies and new assembly methods for wood-plastics in the direction of “beautiful appearance, stronger durability, simpler installation, stronger use, lower price and better quality”. It will greatly enhance the durability, non-fading, scratch resistance, stain resistance, mildew resistance and material rigidity of WPC products without affecting the aesthetics of the products.

 

       Advance the technological innovation of the multi-color and embossing style of the next-generation co-extruded wood-plastic surface, and study single-layer, multi-layer and single-line, multi-line coextrusion technology

 

PVC wood-plastic products at the exhibition are a major feature of the Chinese market! Enrich and expand the wood-plastic materials and their application fields, and provide indoor and outdoor wood-plastic product lines for wood-plastic enterprises and realize integrated wood-plastic composite houses, providing technical and product support;

 

The development of 3D printing wood-plastic materials, nano-plant fibers and their composite materials is a new hot spot.

 

Development of high-strength structural engineering wood-plastic composite materials and their products, such as SMA wood plastic, ABS wood plastic, PMMA wood plastic, PA wood plastic, PET wood plastic and other engineering plastics wood-plastic technology and coextrusion of wood-plastic and metal or structural materials Or composite technology development is the characteristics of the third generation of wood-plastic products, such as diamond, steel core wood, cars, doors and windows, furniture, cages, integrated houses are their potential applications;

 

      The most important thing is to improve the technical ability to recycle waste plastics and waste wood. China's wood alone consumes 600 million cubic meters a year, of which 300 million cubic meters of wood need to be imported. There are more than 800 million tons of straw to be treated every year in China, and 20 million tons of plastic waste needs to be recycled. If these plastic waste and straw resources are all reused to make wood-plastic products, at least 300 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced. Instead of 3 billion cubic meters of wood, it is really energy-saving and emission-reducing. The environmental protection effect of wood-plastic composite new materials is huge.
