The development of green packaging about environmental protection

With the rapid development of global economy and rising standards of living, solid waste and pollution damage to the environment and waste of resources on the Earth facing the international community today is the major environmental problems. UNEP has been put the solid waste disposal as major global environmental issues. And packaging waste is an important component of solid waste, is becoming increasingly clear recognition of its environmental hazards, so the packaging green packaging has become the study of development.
In addition, as human environmental awareness, thinking, values and consumer attitudes are also changing with the times of development. In business dealings, people buy goods, pay more attention to product environmental standards, which appeared in green vegetables, green food, green cars, green refrigerator, environmental clothing, and green packaging nonwoven bags and so on. It can be said that with the development of world economic integration process, in the 21st century will be a variety of fields of green products on every aspect of people's environmental protection and improve their quality of life requires further improvement of green products must have a corresponding adapt to the green packaging, in order to form a complete real green goods.
In addition, with the development of industrial modernization over to grab the earth and human resources, global environment is deteriorating, various countries and regions in order to protect land resources and environmental quality and human economic interests of their own, a series of environmental treaties and agreements have been have been developed. According to the WTO survey showed that more than 150 existing multilateral environmental agreements, which contain a considerable part of the terms of trade, but also set up a WTO Trade and Environment Committee, to deal specifically with issues related to trade and the environment. Can be said that environmental issues will be the 21st century international economic and trade cooperation, the main problem, so the development of green packaging will be increasingly important.
To reduce waste of resources, the task of protecting the environment, the packaging industry must embrace innovative ideas, and strengthen environmental awareness. In the study of new packaging materials, new packaging technology, design new packaging products reusable bag and develop new standards, new regulations, consideration should be focused on the development of reduced resource consumption and waste emissions, easy recycling, self-degradation of green packaging.
Therefore, green packaging, also known as eco-friendly packaging, which not only plays the conservation, protection, indicating that the contents of information, easy identification and promotion of traditional functions, the role should have the following three aspects: (1) packed in the core of economic development nature; (2) Packaging assume environmental responsibility; (3) packaging in its efforts to improve the living conditions of innovation (from the "present and future packaging"). In 1996, IPC'96 International Packaging Symposium Conference identified the packaging waste processing 3R principle that Reduce (reduce), Reuse (reuse), Recycle (recycling). Specifically interpreted as (1) to reduce the number of used packaging and materials consumption; (2) the technical and economic conditions, the priority can be re-used packaging; (3) the development of recyclable packaging, recycling methods do not pollute the environment , but also other renewable energy.
