Will the glass bottle industry under the plastic ban usher in a new development peak.
A ban on plastic products was signed in Europe throughout the year, sparking turmoil among global producers.
In the latest news, Washington has also signed a ban on single-use plastic bags, which will go into effect in October 2021. This will be a new direction for many producers and buyers to be vigilant.
Is this a new opportunity for the glass industry? What do we need to prepare for the replacement of plastic products?
In my opinion, the first step is to upgrade the technology of glass bottle production. Most of the existing production technology comes from the 1950s and 1960s. Without a big technological leap, it is difficult to meet such a huge global market. Secondly, the lightweight research of glass bottles must be put on the agenda, otherwise the advantages of glass bottles can not completely replace plastic products.
I believe this is a good start, the global government began to pay attention to the harm of plastic products
