Analysis of the impact of green barriers on China's paper industry

in the fire and water-resistant trade battlefield, green has become a tool, imprisoning the hands and feet of China's paper enterprises, making it difficult for paper enterprises to move towards the world. In the face of unfair trade competition, how should China's paper enterprises get rid of the green shackles and take off as soon as possible

developed countries set the standard of green packaging too high and too strict, so as to raise the threshold, weaken the advantages of developing countries in high quality and low price, and protect their own economic interests. Packaging products are only a drop in the bucket. Now the paper industry is facing green barriers in wood selection, production and other aspects

green barriers refer to the restrictions on the access of foreign goods in the field of international trade by some developed countries, relying on their scientific and technological advantages, for the purpose of protecting the environment and human health, through legislation, formulating complex environmental protection conventions, laws, regulations, standards, signs and other forms. It belongs to a new form of non-tariff barriers, and has gradually become an important part of international trade policies and measures

since the 1990s, developed countries have protected limited resources and reset parameters; For the purpose of environment and human health, a series of new standards have been formulated to restrict the import of foreign products and services. The relevant WTO agreement stipulates that no country shall be prevented from taking necessary measures to protect human and biological life and health and protect the environment. However, this provides a basis for developed countries to build green barriers, including environmental trade barriers and health quarantine barriers

in today's environment, trade barriers have evolved from tariff barriers to green barriers and other forms. Can we imagine that with the continuous increase of the production capacity of the paper industry, once the domestic market is saturated, we can carry out in-situ dynamic inspection of materials by installing high-speed camera device, dynamic C-scan device and X-ray camera device at the same time of impact test, and how will we face the foreign market

China's paper enterprises urgently need a certificate in hand

at the Forum on the sustainable development of China's paper industry held on August 19 this year, forest certification has become a hot topic in the paper industry, because in recent years, China's paper enterprises have faced increasingly stringent foreign market access barriers such as green barriers

at present, the serious shortage of forest resources in the world has made the trade of forest paper products a topic of global concern. In the rapid development of China's paper industry in recent years, it has also been misunderstood and questioned by the international community. For example, Forest Pulp and paper products have been sniped in the overseas procurement market for lack of forest certification for many times

forest certification system is divided into international system and national system. At present, the international system includes the Forest Management Committee (FSC) and the forest certification system accreditation program (PEFC). There are more than 30 existing national systems, and they are increasing. Forest certification is considered to be an important measure to promote the sustainable development of forestry, and it is also the best solution to track the source of legal logging of wood at present. However, at present, China still lacks the corresponding right to speak on the issue of forest certification system

by the end of 2010, 350million hectares of forests in more than 100 countries had passed the forest certification, accounting for 9% of the total global forest area. Among the certified forest areas, the FSC certified area is 126million hectares and the PEFC certified area is 225million hectares. 57% of the certified forests are distributed in North America, 33% in Europe, 4%, 3% and 2% in South America, Oceania and Africa respectively, while Asia only accounts for 1%

forest certification started late in China, and the concept of forest certification was introduced into China in 1995

in recent years, the pace of forest certification in China has also gradually accelerated. On July 23 last year, China's first forest certification institution, Zhonglin Trinasolar Forest Certification Center, officially launched a forest certification pilot. At present, it has audited a forestry area of more than 1.2 million hectares. Recently, China forest certification and Administration Commission (CFCC) has completed the work of joining PEFC in China's forest certification system and become a member of PEFC

experts believe that the reason why green barriers exist and show a trend of development shows that they have reasonable value connotation. Objectively speaking, green barriers have indeed accelerated the process of global environmental protection, enhanced human awareness of environmental protection, and greatly promoted the improvement of environmental protection technology in developing countries. In the short term, green barriers increase the cost of export products, weaken the competitiveness of export products, and affect the efficiency of export enterprises. However, in the long run, green barriers are conducive to improving the internal quality of export products, environmental protection of producer and consumer countries, and entry of export enterprises into the international market to participate in competition

as the largest developing country and a large country of import and export trade, China has many labor-intensive industries, and the environmental protection situation is also very serious, which is greatly affected by green barriers. However, if this green standard represents the forward direction of the world's manufacturing industry, it is better to follow the trend rather than resist passively. While formulating and taking short-term response measures, we should think more about the long term and fundamentally change the production mode and development mode of high pollution and high energy consumption

in recent years, China's paper industry is also implementing green development policies and looking for effective methods. China has eliminated backward production capacity in the paper industry for several consecutive years, and the number of eliminated production capacity has increased year by year, and the entry threshold has been raised year by year, encouraging the development direction of modernization. At the same time, refine measures to provide development space for advanced enterprises with good product quality, less pollution emissions and full utilization of resources. In 2009, there were 30 paper-making enterprises with an annual output of more than 400000 tons, of which 9 had an annual output of more than 1million tons. These enterprises basically have world-class pulp and paper, environmental protection technology and equipment, which has greatly changed the face of the industry

the 12th Five Year Plan of the paper industry proposes structural adjustment, upgrading and transformation and green development. Each key word is to solve the environmental problems of the paper industry. In addition, some domestic enterprises have begun to try to integrate Forest Pulp and paper, by purchasing forest land and purchasing timber companies, trying to straighten out the industrial chain, so as to put papermaking in the overall pattern of forest industry

economy and environment are two key issues in the current development of China's paper industry, which have been thrown aside. We will no longer blindly pursue interests and favor one over the other, and the efforts we have made are also obvious to all. Every country should see the efforts made by other countries for sustainable development, rather than clinging to green. China's paper industry should strive for progress in sustainable development, implement low-carbon development and industrial upgrading, and finally break through in the international arena
