Paper industry "14th Five-Year Plan" and medium - and long-term high-quality development outline

I. Introduction

The world today is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century. The restructuring of international economic and trade rules and the global governance system is accelerating, and the international political landscape is becoming more unstable. Adhere to the all-round promotion of high-quality development of the industry, change from passive to active, and turn difficulties and challenges into opportunities, in order to further enhance the comprehensive competitiveness of China's paper industry, and firmly grasp the initiative in response to the century-old changes in an independent, controllable, safe and efficient manner.

China's economic development in the new era is characterized by a shift from quantitative development to high-quality development to meet the people's ever-growing needs for a better life. We should continue to focus on supply-side structural reform, avoid blind expansion, enrich development, consciously shift from production to production, technology and service, and improve the quality and economic returns of development. Accelerate the pace of adjustment, focus on solving the problem of unbalanced and inadequate development of the industry, focus on solving the three major bottlenecks of resources, environment and structure, maintain and improve the security of the industrial chain, change the growth drivers, lead high-quality development through innovation, and achieve higher level, better structure, higher efficiency, fairer and more sustainable development.

The paper industry is an important basic raw material industry closely related to the national economy and social development and has the characteristics of sustainable development. At the same time, it has the characteristics of renewable raw materials, recyclable products, self-produced biomass energy and recyclable main production chemicals, and has unique natural green attributes. The paper industry includes pulp manufacturing industry, paper industry (including machine-made paper and board, handmade paper, processed paper), paper products manufacturing industry. Paper consumption is directly or indirectly affected by all areas of the whole society, and is closely related to national economic security, and the consumption level of paper and cardboard is an important sign to measure the degree of a country's economy and civilization.

According to the national "double cycle" strategy and the goal of reaching the level of medium developed countries by 2035, as well as the development experience of developed countries, the incremental demand for paper market in China is still large in the future. Therefore, this outline upgrades the overall development goals of the "14th Five-Year Plan" and beyond to anchor the 2035 vision goal and the 2060 carbon neutral goal, positioning its own competitive advantages, scientifically developing the industry's routes, guidelines, policies and strategies, making medium - and long-term plans, and creating a low-carbon, environmentally friendly and sustainable green paper industry.

Second, guiding ideology

 Accelerate structural adjustment, gradually form a new pattern of reasonable layout, raw materials suitable for national conditions, products to meet domestic demand, and high industrial concentration, comprehensively improve industrial quality, maintain market fairness, promote industrial upgrading, help people achieve a better life, promote China's paper industry to a new level, and strive to fully realize the strategic goal of papermaking power.

Speed up structural adjustment: adhere to the direction of supply-side structural reform, improve the quality of supply, strive to solve the bottleneck of raw materials, and make up for weak areas; Accelerate the adjustment of industrial structure and the construction of raw material bases, and promote the regional layout and product structure to be more reasonable; Promote the coordinated development of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and lay a solid foundation for the high-quality development of the paper industry and the construction of a new industrial development pattern.

Improve the quality of development: After more than 40 years of rapid development, the products have basically met the domestic demand, and with the improvement of our country's economic development level, the social requirements for product quality and service quality are increasing, there is still a need to change the concept of development, from quantitative oriented to quality efficiency change, enhance the competitive advantage of the industry.

Promoting industrial upgrading: The stage of large-scale industrial expansion is basically over, and it must shift from scale expansion to structural upgrading. It is necessary to focus on optimizing the structure of raw materials, products and enterprises, enhance the value of the industrial chain, transfer from simple production and manufacturing to the high value-added segment of production, technology and service, and promote the upgrading of the industrial structure.
