Since November last year, the price of paper began to enter the upward curve. As of press release, compared with February, the enterprise's order price in March increased from the original 500 yuan / ton to around 1800 yuan / ton. Since then, the quotation of mainstream brand white cardboard has reached 10000 yuan / ton.

         Most of China's wood pulp imports, affected by the epidemic, the world's major wood pulp producing countries are subject to varying degrees of impact, production capacity decline. On the other hand, international transportation has also been greatly impacted, which directly leads to the shortage of production and aggravates the shortage of paper raw material supply.

       In November last year, the national development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of ecological environment, the Ministry of Commerce and the General Administration of Customs jointly issued the "notice on matters related to the total prohibition of the import of solid waste", which explicitly prohibited the import of solid waste in any way and took effect on January 1, 2021. On January 1, 2021, the new "plastic ban order" was officially implemented, and the use of non degradable disposable plastic straw was prohibited in the catering industry nationwide.

          The rising prices of raw materials and the rising prices of paper enterprises lead to panic paper hoarding in downstream enterprises. So, has the price of tissue paper, which is closely related to ordinary consumers, increased?

         Most of the citizens said: "because they don't buy paper every day, they are not very sensitive to the price, but they generally feel that the price has not changed much." A supermarket salesman said that the price of tissue had not changed much, and some brands were still promoting sales.

        The reporter saw that a certain brand of tissue discount promotion, a paper price of 19.9 yuan, the same price as a few months ago. At the same time, the reporter also saw the e-commerce platforms such as Jingdong and tmall, and there was no sharp rise in the price of tissue. "The rise in raw material prices affected the retail end, and it took a while. At present, the inventory is relatively sufficient, and the price of tissue has not risen in the near future."

          "There are many kinds of household paper brands and fierce competition, which has inhibited the growth of retail price to a certain extent." Although in the near future, some small factories may have slightly increased the ex factory price of their products due to small inventory of raw materials and weak pressure bearing capacity, it will take time for them to pass on to consumers through wholesalers and retailers, and the price rise of individual products is not significant. At the same time, for many large-scale daily chemical enterprises, due to the abundant raw material inventory, the rise of pulp price in the past month has not had a great impact on the company's production costs, and the appreciation of RMB has also offset the rise of some imported pulp prices.
