Abstract
China is a country with insufficient forest resources, small forest area, small number of resources and unbalanced regional distribution. China is also a typical big country of forest products production and consumption, and also the largest forest products processing and production base, and the most important forest products processing and export country in the world. The development of forest product industry needs to consume a lot of forest resources, and the traditional industry mainly depends on the supply of natural forest. Modern forest product industry is an industry that makes full use of advanced science and technology, based on the principle of circular economy, efficiently uses and recycles forest resources to meet the increasing demand of human beings for forest products. The sustainable development of forest product industry in China needs circular economy. Circular economy is the fundamental way to solve the contradiction between economic development and ecological environment. This paper introduced the basic concept of circular economy and the general situation of the development of modern forest product industry. The necessity of the development of circular economy and the realization of sustainable development of forest product industry were discussed. Suggestions were also put forward for the realization of circular economy in forest product industry.

China is a country with insufficient forest resources, small forest area, small number of resources and unbalanced regional distribution
Statistics in 1990 showed that (Table 1): the world's forest area was about 4.019 billion hectares, and the per capita area was about 0.8 hectares, while China's forest area was 124.6 million hectares, and the per capita area was only 0.107 hectares, accounting for only 13.4% of the world's per capita forest area; the world's forest coverage rate was 31%, and China's forest coverage rate was only 12.98%; the world's forest storage volume was about 310 billion cubic meters, and the per capita storage volume was about 72 cubic meters Square meters, China's forest stock was 9.14 billion cubic meters, per capita stock was only 8 cubic meters

Summary
China is a country with insufficient forest resources, small forest area, small number of resources and unbalanced regional distribution. Due to the national protection of forest resources, the economic demand for wood is increasing year by year, and the gap is growing day by day, the gap is not made up by increasing the cutting amount of natural forest, but by cultivating artificial forest and expanding the import of wood to meet the growing domestic demand. With the rapid development of China's economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the demand for wood will only increase year by year, and the growing demand gap cannot completely rely on wood imports. The fundamental way to solve the wood demand gap is not to rely on imports, but to increase the construction of domestic fast-growing plantation and increase the supply of plantation resources, so as to meet the domestic demand for wood stably and sustainably and solve the problem of wood safety from the root. In addition to this "open source" approach, we need to do a good job in "cutting costs", that is, to strengthen wood conservation and utilization and achieve sustainable development of the forest product industry [6]
