The situation, opportunity and challenge facing the new era of paper industry

Environmental challenge

◆ Natural environment

In the face of increasing environmental protection requirements, increasing law enforcement efforts, and increasing environmental investment challenges;

Facing the challenges of changes and uncertainties in regional and watershed access policies;

In the face of the challenges of long-term environmental governance goals to enterprise development.

◆ Social environment

Social and institutional misunderstanding of the paper industry is deepening, the voice of the industry is not very strong, and some government agencies and media do not understand our industry.

The trend of trade protection and intensified trade frictions in the international market.

The awareness of corporate social responsibility and the social image of the industry urgently need to change, which is the challenge that enterprises need to face. In July last year, the China Paper Association launched the preparation of the industry social responsibility report, and through our efforts, the government, the public and the media took the initiative to introduce the industry and establish a positive image.

The upstream and downstream industries lack the necessary communication understanding and collaboration integration. Recent fluctuations in the price of waste paper have also deepened misunderstandings between industries.
