The age of competition between aluminum and plastic has arrived

October 25, 2021

As it is known to all, in order to limit the use of plastic to prevent plastic pollution, many countries have issued some relevant laws and regulations, 127 countries have announced the ban on plastic bags. In that case, Aluminum Casting products , Aluminum Die Casting, Aluminum Forging Parts, Aluminum Precision Machining parts will play an important role from now on. The European Union has recommended banning plastic packaging for 10 single-use items, such as knives, forks and worthless items, by 2021, as well as enforcing strict recycling quotas for plastic packaging by 2030. The British government has formulated a series of policies to prevent plastic pollution and issued a 25-year Environment Plan, aiming to completely eliminate plastic pollution by 2042. It is proposed that The content of recycled materials in beverage bottles must be more than 30%, or a heavy tax will be imposed. Some of the UK's biggest supermarkets, such as Morrison, Tesco and Sainsbury's, have switched from single-use plastic bags to single-use paper bags for loose goods and baked goods. On the surface, this change may seem to reduce plastic pollution, but on the other hand, it may not be worth the loss. Papermaking has high energy consumption and a lot of greenhouse gas emissions. A study conducted in Denmark showed that paper bags would have to be reused 43 times to offset the environmental impact of plastic bags.

Replacing plastic with aluminum in the packaging world is a slow process, and the use of aluminum in this area will certainly increase, and the growth rate in the future will be much faster than it is and has been. Because this is a huge market, a small change will lead to a significant increase in demand. Many advantages of aluminum, especially the countless recycling and low waste price, create a good premise for it to replace plastic. Moreover, over the next 10 years, plastic production will increase by more than 40 percent from 2019, consuming 20 percent of the world's oil, causing considerable pollution and understandably causing the ire of environmentalists and the public, as Green Peace pointed out in a 2019 report.

Aluminum is a green material that plays an important role in replacing plastic beverage bottles and packaging materials, ushering in a new era of beverage bottles and packaging materials.
