In 2010, global plastic consumption exceeded 250 million tons. In the same year, China’s apparent consumption of synthetic resins reached 65 million tons; factoring in recycled plastics, fillers, and various additives, the country’s total actual plastic consumption was approximately 80 million tons. Given that the density of plastics is around 1 g/cm³, compared to steel’s density of about 7.6 g/cm³, in terms of material volume, the volume of plastic products already matched that of China’s crude steel output of 627 million tons in 2010. As a result, China has become one of the world’s largest consumers of plastics. Owing to their light weight, recyclability, ability to be formed at low temperatures (relative to metals), and potential for multifunctionalization, the applications of plastics are increasingly…
Global plastic consumption exceeded 250 million tons in 2010.

China has thus become one of the world’s largest consumers of plastics.
Due to its lightweight nature, recyclability, ability to be formed at low temperatures (compared with metals), and potential for multifunctionalization, plastics are finding increasingly broad applications and are being used in ever-greater quantities, driving a growing trend toward replacing steel and wood with plastic.
The diversification of market demand, the multifunctionalization of performance requirements, and the energy efficiency of manufacturing processes all place stringent demands on the entire plastics industry, which must therefore innovate.
