Green Packaging - The Future of Packaging Design

Packaging has the function of promoting the development of high-quality goods, but the use of a large number of packaging manufacturing, but it also brings considerable negative effects to the community. The packaging industry consumes a lot of resources, and waste packaging causes pollution to the environment. Therefore, the packaging designer should have a strong sense of environmental protection, and fully consider the box structure of the packaging, the use of materials, and the printing process, and the ultimate waste disposal, etc., as far as possible reasonable, material saving, beautiful and practical, therefore, advocacy Green packaging design awareness is very necessary.
The vast majority of packaging after use can not escape the possibility of becoming garbage, but in the logistics process, packaging is indispensable, then how to reduce waste, how to make good use of garbage. This is a big issue that is facing the global ecological balance.
According to related materials, China's plastic packaging currently accounts for more than 2 million baht per year, of which disposable plastic packaging, which is difficult to recycle, accounts for 30%. In addition, according to statistics, China produces about 16 million tons of waste each year. The waste of plastic packaging products is discarded as much as 1 million tons per year, including plastic packaging lunch boxes, cup trays, foaming materials, beverage bottles, various plastic packaging for candies and foods, and various plastic packaging bags, etc. Wait. According to experts, these white garbage will not disappear on the surface for quite some time.
From this it can be seen that packaging waste has been slowly eroding our living environment, in addition to we should take the attitude of the master, scientifically processing the domestic waste produced each time, on the production or use of various plastic packaging manufacturers or related The supervision department should also be responsible for finding scientific and reasonable ways or through research and development or alternative products to curb the environmental pollution of packaging waste.
The green design, the formulation and the initiative of green packaging can be described as a gratifying message in this field, becoming the reality of civilization and the direction of future development. As early as the 1980s, Germany took the lead in launching the "green packaging" with the "Green Grund" (green packaging) logo. In the following decades, the sound speed of green packaging developed around the world. By 1993, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) formally established the “Environmental Protection Committee” to develop green environmental protection standards. It was formally implemented in the world in January 1996. Has been widely recognized and promoted by countries around the world.
In addition to using the green logo, the development of green, eco-friendly packaging materials is the most substantial measure. For example, the well-known candy packaging, glutinous rice paper used, and corn baking packaging ice cream packaging cups are typical edible packaging. This type of material and similar materials are both economical and pollution-free.
Furthermore, recyclable materials and recycled materials should be used as much as possible to increase the recycling of materials and save global resources. Such as our common beer, beverages, soy sauce, vinegar and other packaging used in glass bottles can be used repeatedly recycled materials: renewable materials refers to polyester packaging and then recycled, can be recycled by physical and chemical methods to recycle . In Finland, the recycling rate of plastic bottles is as high as 99%. In shopping malls, self-study people send waste bottles to recycling machines, and the recycling machines retrieve the amount. Here, environmental awareness has been concretely reproduced and implemented.
The degradable material is a material worth further research and development. After being used, the material is gradually degraded and reduced in the natural environment under the action of light and microorganisms in the soil and water, and finally reenters in a non-toxic form. In the ecological environment, return to nature. For example, a French dairy company made a yoghurt extracted from sugar beet, made into a yogurt box and a cup plate. The basic raw material of this ecological box is beet, which becomes a light and strong material through the incorporation of minerals. Boxes (cups) made from this kind of material can be decomposed into fertilizers for farms below 55 in Celsius and 60 days. . For another example, paper materials are widely used in the packaging industry. The raw materials of paper are mainly natural plant fibers, which are quickly decomposed in nature, causing low levels of environmental pollution and can be recycled. In many international companies, recycled paper is used for the production of annual reports and publicity materials, and letter paper and letter paper made from recycled paper are used to reflect the green principles of their environmental concerns and establish a good corporate image.
