With the growing demand for environmental protection and energy conservation in the world, the market demands for product packaging have become increasingly stringent. Harmless, non-pollution, renewable and environmentally friendly packaging plays an important role in the export trade of commodities. In recent years, the food industry has developed rapidly, demand for packaging is strong, and whether packaging materials are environmentally friendly is significant. The
It is necessary to implement environmental protection for food packaging
As we all know, environmental protection is a topic of common concern in today's society. A large amount of packaging waste has caused tremendous pressure on the environment, among which the packaging waste generated by people's daily consumption of food accounts for a large proportion. And packaging waste is mainly solid waste and it is difficult to handle. The treatment of plastics is mainly burial, with a small amount of decomposition and incineration. The buried plastic needs 200 to 400 years to be decomposed by the natural world. During this period, it will hinder the growth of crops, eat animals, cause digestive diseases, and cause death. Metal and glass containers are not subject to pollution, but they are too heavy and require a lot of energy to melt. Therefore, the hazards to the environment should be fully considered in the design, selection, use, and recycling of food packaging, and should be avoided as much as possible. The
In order to reduce the harm of packaging waste to the environment, China put forward the concept of green packaging as early as ten years ago. There is not a completely unified definition of green packaging. In general, moderate packaging that can be reused, reused, or degraded, and that does not cause harm to the human body and the environment throughout the product's lifecycle is called green packaging. The most important meaning of green packaging is to protect the environment, but it also has the significance of resource regeneration. The
Environmental protection into food packaging materials in the future to develop the mainstream trend
Packaging has an irreplaceable role in providing protection for food, preventing food from being contaminated by external microbes or other substances, and preventing or reducing food oxidation and other reactions. Packaging is indispensable to human life, but also due to substandard packaging. It has a direct impact on human health. In recent years, with the continuous improvement of people's health and environmental awareness, sustainable development has become a clear trend for food packaging related companies. The
It is understood that the "Circular Economy Promotion Law" has long clarified that China's economic trend will inevitably shift toward reduction and resource utilization in the future. Accompanied by the promulgation and implementation of this law, it will inevitably greatly promote the development of circular development, energy conservation and emission reduction in all localities and governments at all levels to the overall situation of regional economic development. The food packaging industry is no exception. The
At present, in order to tie in with businesses to attract consumers, packaging manufacturers often focus only on the beauty and uniqueness of packaging, while ignoring whether it is conducive to recycling, whether it is easy to dismantle and other factors, and even some packages will endanger the health of consumers. The
Under the social background that environmental protection has become the general trend of development in all walks of life in society, packaging manufacturers should actively respond to national policies and resolutely implement the "Circular Economy Promotion Law," starting with the selection of packaging materials and the design of package shapes, and truly reduce energy consumption and emissions. The concept of recycling economy is integrated into the production process of packaging products. The
Opportunity to develop environmentally friendly green packaging
Developing the huge economic and social benefits of green packaging
At present, packaging waste has been increasing, and recycling technology has matured. Under the condition that fixed waste is treated in the direction of reduction, harmlessness, and recycling, it is not only feasible but also feasible to invest in the recycling of packaging waste. Promote the development of the packaging industry. On the one hand, this is in line with the country's sustainable development strategy. On the other hand, advancing to the environmental protection industry can develop cheap sources of raw materials for packaging, reduce raw material production costs, and have both economic and ecological benefits. The
Developing Green Packaging is an Effective Way to Ease Oil Crisis
The oil crisis has always been a matter of concern throughout the world, and most of the raw materials for plastic packaging in the packaging industry are petroleum products. As a result, the oil crisis has indirectly led to an increase in the price of plastic products. As mentioned earlier, China's green packaging technology is maturing, and the prices of related green packaging products are beginning to decline. Therefore, replacing traditional plastic packaging with green packaging is a major trend in the development of the packaging industry. In addition, ordinary plastics will gradually be eliminated by the society because of its defects such as hard-to-degrade, poor safety, waste of resources, and pollution of the environment. Therefore, the development of green packaging is an effective way to alleviate the oil crisis. The
The difficulty of developing environmentally friendly green packaging
The development of green packaging is an inevitable choice for the sustainable development of the packaging industry, but there are still many difficulties in the development of green packaging in China. Recently, various food packaging problems have been exposed frequently: poor quality napkins, popcorn buckets containing fluorescent whitening agents, paper cups, PC milk bottles containing bisphenol A, drinking glasses, pure water buckets, and over-packing of holiday gifts such as moon cakes, tea, and rice dumplings. And so on, they have sounded the alarm for the safety of food packaging and put forward higher requirements for the standardization of the food packaging industry. The
In short, the main trends in the future development of food packaging materials are functionalization, environmental protection, and simplicity. Aseptic packaging adopts high-tech and molecular materials, and the fresh-keeping function will become the focus of food packaging technology development. Non-toxic packaging materials will be more secure, plastic packaging will gradually replace glass products, and composite flexible products made of paper, aluminum foil, plastic film and other packaging materials will be used. Bags will show upscale and multifunctional. The acceleration of the pace of social life will make fast-food packaging face enormous opportunities for development. The food industry is the sunrise industry in the 21st century. The food packaging materials are growing at a rapid pace. The food packaging materials industry will certainly be able to seize this opportunity to grow and grow.
