As one of the fastest growing industries after the financial crisis, the wood-based panel industry has maintained an average annual growth rate of 6%, and its development prospects are broad . In today's world , the harvestable forest resources are decreasing . With the development of social economy, consumers' demand for wood, wood products and wood-based panels is increasing, which also causes the imbalance between supply and demand of wood-based panels . Consumers are looking for higher quality products and new requirements for environmental performance. The development of the wood-based panel industry in the global perspective , such as the status quo, transformation and upgrading, attracts attention, and it is very important for related wood-based panel companies to ensure the legitimacy of timber sources, green cleaning during production and processing, and accurate positioning of consumer preferences .
China is the world's largest producer and trader of wood-based panels, but it is not a strong country. The domestic market demand is slowing down, the development of various plates is unbalanced, overcapacity, unreasonable structure, rising labor costs such as labor , insufficient investment in scientific research , and weak innovation ability have affected the sustainable and stable development of China's wood-based panel industry . Taking into account the annual comprehensive environmental protection list that the country will publish every year, if the artificial board is selected, its production and sales will be subject to various restrictions . It is not difficult to see that the green manufacturing of the wood-based panel industry has reached an urgent point .
As the "leader" of the industry, industry associations are becoming more and more important, and their responsibilities are becoming more and more heavy. The role of industrial health development is self-evident. Industry associations should actively seek exchanges and cooperation with relevant foreign industry associations, jointly formulate the industry norms for China to export wood-based panels to the other country, and be in line with international standards. At the same time, it has begun to promulgate the formaldehyde emission standards for wood-based panels to improve the environmental protection of China's wood-based panel industry. Platform, put an end to E2 grade wood-based panels, only allow the production of E0 grade and E1 grade wood-based panels, with the standard as a hard indicator of the green development of the wood-based panel industry, using the standard for green manufacturing escort.
As consumer demand grows, so does the quality of wood. In 2025, China is smart, and green is the key. This requires that wood-based panel companies should be guided by the needs of consumers, improve production efficiency through process technology and equipment, and produce more green and healthy products.
The transformation and upgrading of the wood-based panel industry relies mainly on the progress of the enterprise. Green manufacturing and green development have also become essential prerequisites for the healthy and sustainable development of enterprises. Wood-based panel enterprises should consider sustainable management as a long-term strategic thinking. The first is equipment upgrade. Enterprises, industries and countries should pay attention to strengthen cooperation and exchange, so that equipment can keep up with the level of green manufacturing. Secondly, technology upgrade, enterprises should increase investment in research and development, from capital, talents, training, echelon construction and external Innovative technologies such as exchange and cooperation, improve product performance, and enrich product types; finally, upgrade the concept, import timber supply chain is complex, from port to processing, wood-based panel enterprises should ensure the legality of timber source and firm in the production and sales process. Establish a development concept of clean production and green manufacturing, and strive to achieve the integration of wood-based panel products with the international market.
