Low-carbon transition: my country's plastic pipe processing energy utilization level has much room for improvement

[ Focus on Chemical Machinery Equipment Network ] In the past 10 years, driven by the rapid development of China's macro economy, China's plastic pipes have developed rapidly against the background of the rapid development of chemical building materials
.
Plastic pipes have many advantages in many fields, so they are recommended for use in many areas
.

 

As one of the important branches of chemical building materials, plastic pipes are products formed by extrusion molding, injection molding, compounding and other technologies using polymer materials as the main raw materials
.
Compared with traditional cast iron pipes, galvanized steel pipes, cement pipes and other pipes, plastic pipes have the advantages of energy saving and material saving, environmental protection, light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, smooth inner wall and no scaling, simple construction and maintenance, and long service life.
It can be widely used in building water supply and drainage, municipal water supply and drainage, power and optical cable sheath, industrial fluid transportation, agricultural irrigation, urban gas and other fields
.

 

Before the Twelfth Five-Year Plan, products of different quality existed in the plastic pipe market in China.
On the one hand, many plastic pipe enterprises, especially some key large enterprises, had their product quality up to the requirements of international standards; on the other hand, the market and construction sites were flooded.
There are a large number of low-quality products
.
But at the moment, low-end products on the market are gradually decreasing, and more processing companies pay attention to the research and development of high-level and high-performance products.
The development of the plastic pipe industry promotes the further expansion and integration of the industry, and the industry's capacity utilization rate The decline in gross profit margin of the industry has promoted the continuous increase of industry concentration
.

 

In addition, in recent years, it has been widely used in various fields such as agricultural irrigation, which has strongly promoted the rapid development of China's plastic pipe industry
.
At present, China has become the world's largest producer and application country of plastic pipes
.
At present, China's plastic pipe industry presents the characteristics of "fast development of the industry, continuous expansion of application areas, and gradual optimization of the industrial structure"
.

 

On November 15, 2021, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a notice on the issuance of the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for Industrial Green Development".
The promulgation of this "Plan" has pointed out the direction for the follow-up industrial green and intelligent development.
It also provides policy support for the construction of underground pipe networks and sewage discharge monitoring systems
.

 

　　Prior to this, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for Urban Sewage Treatment and Resource Utilization Development Plan" (Fagai Huanzi [2021] No.
827), which provided for the construction tasks and technologies in the field of urban sewage treatment.
Specific requirements
.
It is proposed that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, 80,000 kilometers of sewage collection pipeline network will be newly added and transformed
.

 

　　Plastic pipes have the characteristics of light weight, sanitation and safety, low water flow resistance, energy saving, improved living environment, long service life, safety and convenience, etc.
, and are favored by the pipeline engineering community
.
However, this year's rise in the price of PVC raw materials has brought great pressure to plastic pipe companies, and even the situation of "doing more and losing more" and "increasing revenue but not profit" has appeared
.
In addition, labor costs, water and electricity costs, and warehousing and transportation costs continue to rise, and companies generally say that they are under "heavy pressure
.
"
 

　　At present, the low-carbon transformation of the plastic pipe industry is imminent
.

 

　　Wang Zhanjie, vice chairman and secretary general of the China Plastics Processing Industry Association, and executive deputy director of the Plastic Piping Committee of the China Plastics Association, said that green and sustainable development will become the only way.
The industry must actively explore the green and low-carbon development market and promote the industry structure to green Low-carbon transition
.

 

　　The "14th Five-Year Plan" period is a critical period and window period for China to respond to climate change and achieve carbon peak goals, and it is also a key five years for the industry to achieve a green and low-carbon transition
.
Industry recommendations: Enterprises should realize informatization, automation and black-lighting as soon as possible, and gradually start the automation process from packaging and extrusion, and improve production efficiency and reduce enterprise costs through intelligent development
.

 

　　More industry believes that the real estate development situation may remain severe in the next 1 to 3 years.
The plastic pipe industry is closely related to the real estate industry.
It is necessary to think about how to promote its own sound development under the new real estate situation, minimize its own operating risks, and establish risks.
Avoid the system
.
The industry must create a new order in the plastic pipe market, avoid participating in low-price and low-quality competition, and get out of the price quagmire
.
The "dual carbon" issue will better promote the transformation of industry manufacturing technology
.
The energy utilization level of pipeline processing can continue to be improved, and some domestic colleges and universities are also developing relevant high-utilization technologies to better promote technological transformation and upgrading
.
