Development Strategic Directions of the Packaging Industry During the 15th Five-Year Plan Period

● According to recent industry developments, official institutions including the China Packaging Federation have clarified the development strategic directions of the packaging industry for the 15th Five-Year Plan period at relevant meetings.

● The meeting has established a strategic direction centered on green development, smart upgrading, high-end manufacturing, integrated development and internationalization, and emphasized coordinated advancement of these goals.

● This strategic direction is formulated in response to the requirements of the national 15th Five-Year Plan concerning the strengthening of ecological and environmental protection and the development of a green, low-carbon and circular economy. It is a shared industry consensus that the realization of this strategy requires collaborative innovation among the government, industry, academia, research institutions, public welfare organizations and other parties, so as to break through development bottlenecks.

● In terms of practical implementation, the industry is actively responding to the restructuring of global rules. For instance, through the research, development and promotion of innovative technologies such as bio-based water-based coatings, it is driving packaging materials to shift from 'passive compliance' to 'rule-leading', so as to enhance its position in international competition. Meanwhile, continuous efforts are being made at the policy level to advance the green transformation of packaging and prevent excessive packaging, providing clear guidance for the industry.
