Paper enterprises have clear energy consumption control standards.

The energy consumption limit of pulp and paper unit products (GB 31825-2024) was released. Paper enterprises have clear energy consumption control standards. Recently, the reporter learned from the China Paper Association that the national standard of energy consumption limit of pulp and paper unit products (GB 31825-2024) approved by the State Administration of Market Supervision and the State Standardization Administration Committee will be implemented on May 1, 2025, and will completely replace pulp and paper after implementation. The reporter noted that as a mandatory national standard, the Energy Consumption Limit of Pulp and Paper Unit Product (GB 31825-2024), which was formulated by China Paper Association, has some technical changes besides structural adjustment and editorial changes. For example, the energy consumption limits of paper tube paperboard, chip board, gypsum board cover paperboard, decorative base paper, Glaxin paper, cigarette paper, tipping base paper, aluminum foil backing paper, stainless steel backing paper, carbonless copy paper, thermal base paper, thermal paper, medical packaging paper, thermal sublimation transfer base paper, thermal sublimation transfer paper and fruit bag paper have been increased; The energy consumption limits of newsprint, uncoated printing writing paper, coated printing paper, packaging paper, white paperboard, box paperboard, corrugated base paper and coated paperboard were changed; The household paper was changed into tissue base paper, toilet paper base paper, absorbent liner paper and wiping paper, and the energy consumption limit was changed. China Paper Association said that the release and implementation of the new standard provided clear energy consumption control standards and guidance for enterprises in the industry, which was conducive to promoting technological innovation, transformation and upgrading of the industry, improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon emission intensity, and provided strong support for promoting the objectives of peak carbon dioxide emissions, carbon neutrality and dual energy consumption control in the paper industry. China Paper Association calls on all relevant enterprises and units to pay full attention to it, earnestly implement it, continuously strengthen technology research and development and process improvement, optimize production processes, reduce energy consumption per unit product, improve energy utilization efficiency and realize green and sustainable development.
