Reasons for the slow development of metal packaging in our country

1. The environmental protection factors of packaging are even more prominent.

With the progress of society and the increasing awareness of global environmental protection, the concept of “products harmless to the environment” has become the mainstream trend that guides production and consumption. Countries, especially developed countries, have increasingly stringent requirements for environmental protection. China's metal packaging products with relatively low environmental standards are often rejected outside the borders of developed countries. For example, the poor emptying capacity of standard steel drums in China has become a resistance to exports.

2. The technical content of metal packaging products continues to increase.

With the continuous increase in the technical content of countries participating in trade products, the technical barriers adopted by countries have also been continuously upgraded. Mainly manifested in the emergence of a large number of new technologies and new products to promote the technical standards in the technical standards.

3. The number and types of packaging are increasing, and the products and countries involved are becoming more and more extensive.

Although with the gradual internationalization of China's metal packaging standards, some of the technical barriers to trade will be eliminated, but with the development of science and technology and safety, health, environmental protection requirements become stricter, new technical trade barriers are also emerging. At present, the technical barriers to metal packaging include technical standards and technical regulations, quality certification, export inspection and quarantine regulations, etc.

4. Increased international trade disputes.

In the past, international trade disputes were often caused by tariff trade barriers, but today they are caused by technical trade walls.

5. The impact on international trade has become increasingly prominent.

From a positive perspective, technical trade barriers contribute to a certain extent to the improvement of the technological level of all countries in the world. However, international standards are often formulated by developed countries that are dominant in the world’s multilateral trade system and have leading advantages in the field of science and technology. Most international standards are difficult to achieve for enterprises in developing countries under current conditions. , so that they can not stand in the face of these technical barriers.
