Redefining the Green Packaging Industry

The green packaging industry needs to be redefined. In recent years, the rapid development of China's green packaging industry has led to an increase in the adoption rate of packaging materials that are beneficial to improve the environment. The market share has gradually increased, and the technological content has grown to higher levels. Some products have reached the international level. Advanced level. However, relevant people believe that there are misunderstandings in the development of green packaging in China. The main manifestation is: In many people's minds, green packaging is often regarded as afforestation of packaging products, and the packaging products made of easily degradable materials are erroneously viewed as For green packaging, and whether the production of the packaged product causes environmental pollution and waste of resources, and does not ask for reuse of the packaged product after use, there have been some erroneous views on green packaging. If the paper packaging is regarded as a green packaging, the plastic packaging is placed on the opposite side of the green packaging, and even the polyethylene poisoning theory is proposed and the slogan of paper-based plastic molding is fully implemented.

In fact, green packaging is the conclusion made by the impact of packaging on the environment from the product's entire life cycle. Paper packaging does not meet the requirements of green packaging if it is improperly recycled, and plastic packaging, if it achieves the goals of reduction and recycling, is promoted by green packaging.

Regardless of their national conditions, they will use paper to replace them. Plastics have the advantage that other packaging materials cannot be replaced. A total ban on plastics will result in greater packaging contamination. China's forest resources are limited, and the pollution problems of other raw materials for papermaking are also difficult to control. It is neither realistic nor environmentally friendly to implement paper-based plastics. Moreover, even in developed countries that strictly implement green packaging, plastics are the most rapidly growing packaging materials. The main measure to reduce the environmental impact of plastics is to enhance recycling rather than one-sidedness. Therefore, at present, many important aspects of China's green packaging, such as the reduction of packaging materials, the recycling and recycling of packaging waste, have not received corresponding attention. The related green packaging industry is also very underdeveloped, especially The recycling industry for packaging waste is still lagging behind.

Different companies and different regions are out of balance. First, the time for different companies to implement green packaging is not synchronized, and the earliest green packaging companies are export-oriented enterprises. Such companies are influenced by the international market and have a better understanding of green packaging. They have quickly adjusted their packaging strategies. The response to green packaging by companies based primarily on the domestic market is relatively slow. In recent years, they have only begun to engage in green packaging. Secondly, the development of the regions is uneven, and the green packaging in the economically developed regions has developed rapidly. In the central and western regions where the economy is relatively backward, the green packaging has not received sufficient attention and publicity, and the development is slow.
