    Paper straw raw material - pulp up 70% in 4 months

    From 2021, China will completely ban the import of solid waste (including waste paper), and waste paper consumption has always been the bulk of pulp consumption.
    In 2019, waste paper consumption accounted for 57% of pulp consumption

    .

    The "double ban" policy of the ban on waste and plastics has led to tight pulp supply.
    The main pulp futures rose all the way around 4,500 yuan in November last year, and the highest rose to more than 7,500 yuan, an increase of nearly 70%

    .
    In terms of spot, white cardboard maintains a high boom.
    The latest price of Bohui (East China) white cardboard was 8110 yuan/ton in February, compared with 6860 yuan/ton at the end of December 2020, an increase of 1250 yuan/ton, a 2-month increase 18.
    22%

    Degradable plastic straw raw materials - PLA prices remain high at 34,000 yuan

    Paper straws are often far inferior to plastic straws because of their taste and performance, and some good people claim to give up milk tea because of this
    .
    Lou Zhongping once admitted to the media that no matter how many years, paper straws cannot achieve the performance of plastic straws, and paper products are not a perfect substitute for plastic products

    .

    However, the price of PLA, a biodegradable straw raw material, remains high.
    Since Fengyuan Group announced in August 2020 that the production line with an annual output of 30,000 tons was put into operation, the price of PLA once dropped from 40,000 yuan/ton to 30,000 yuan/ton.
    , the current market price is 34,000 yuan
