Stationery should also be low carbon
2024-03-25
The formation time of the stationery industry is probably in the late 1980s and early 1990s, which seems to be less prominent in the general recognition, belonging to the typical "small products, big industry, but it has become the fastest developing and most perfect industry in China's light industry." At present, low-carbon has become one of its important development directions.
Since China proposed the goal of 3060 in 2020, many green policies have been issued to the stationery industry, and stationery companies such as Chenguang and KACO have also launched their own carbon-neutral products. Looking at their carbon reduction road, the first is to innovate from the material side, promote the development and application of environmentally friendly materials, and reduce the dependence on high-emission raw materials; The second is from the packaging and logistics considerations, if the packaging of products does not fully consider the concept of sustainability, it will also be an important source of carbon emissions; The third is the use and waste, at the beginning of product design to take more into account the concept of recycling and sustainability, stationery companies can publicize the carbon footprint of their products, increase transparency, and promote consumers' choice of environmentally friendly products.
Lunch boxes and buckets become stationery
As the first listed company in China's stationery industry to release an ESG report, Chenguang has actively practiced corporate responsibility at the beginning of its establishment, integrating social responsibility into its corporate development and helping the sustainable development of the stationery industry.
Actively responding to the international trend of plastic reduction and domestic environmental protection policies, Chenguang Company, a leading enterprise in China's stationery industry, applied polylactic acid PLA material to the pen holder of the "Environmental Protection Record" series of plant degradable environmental protection press neutral pens in 2023. PLA here is extracted, fermented and polymerized from plant residues such as straw, bagasse and Chinese fir powder, which is a biodegradable and biocompatible ecological and environmental protection material.
After years of innovation and research and development, Chenguang Stationery has made many breakthroughs in the use of biodegradable materials, reducing the use of chemicals in product raw materials, protecting biometricity and using environmentally friendly plastics.

In the field of stationery, not only the figure of biodegradable material PLA, but also the use of recycled plastics (such as PP, PC, etc.) is also common.
As early as 2021, Meituan fulfilled its social responsibility and carried out a Qingshan Science and Technology Fund program project to provide solutions for achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality. By Donghua University, Green Cycle and other companies jointly carried out a high value utilization project of recycled polypropylene lunch boxes, jointly carried out the recycling of waste lunch boxes, including recycling technology research and industrial application, and committed to promoting the value of PP lunch box recycling space. After more than a year of implementation, Green Cycle chooses to apply waste lunch box PP to the stationery industry. Green cycle is based on Meituan takeout lunch box, after crushing, cleaning, sorting process, and then drawing and cutting into semi-transparent, high purity PP particles, through the process of morning light finally made neutral pens, water-based pens, staplers, pencil cases and other stationery products. The use of waste lunch boxes as stationery also makes Chenguang products not only have the carbon reduction properties of recycled materials, but also optimize the process and reduce energy consumption by combining the characteristics of recycled materials during processing. Ultimately, carbon offsets through CDM projects achieve full life cycle carbon neutrality from raw material acquisition, production and processing, transportation, distribution, use and disposal.
