Green Packaging - Paper Packaging and Environmental Protection

First, the meaning of green packaging and LCA technology assessment method

The so-called green packaging does not contain a complete definition. Generally has four connotations: the material is the most provincial, the least waste, and save resources and energy; easy recycling and recycling; waste combustion produces new energy without secondary pollution; packaging materials and self decomposition, at least polluted environment. The goal of packaging is to preserve maximum natural resources, minimize the amount of waste and minimize environmental pollution. Environmental experts have proposed the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) as the "ecological cycle assessment method."

At present, LCA technology is attracting attention internationally. In Japan, the United States, Germany and other countries have used this analysis to evaluate packaging materials. Through LCA technology, quantitative assessments can be made and corresponding improvement measures can be formulated.

Second, paper packaging is the most promising green packaging

The four pillars of modern packaging - paper, plastic, metal, glass. Among these four types of packaging materials, paper products have the fastest growth, and their sources of raw materials are extensive. International Health Organization and domestic environmental protection experts believe that the domestic and foreign markets will gradually ban the use of plastic food bags, and regulations must be made of environmentally-friendly paper bags. In the future, the use of non-toxic and harmless “full-paper eco-bags” should be used for shopping. Paper products are prone to decay and can either recycle recycled paper or use as fertilizer for plants, reduce air pollution, and purify the environment. LCA technology for quantitative assessment, paper packaging will become one of the most promising green packaging materials.

Third, paper packaging waste recycling and prevent environmental pollution

Cartons, paper bags, paper drums, pulp molded products have become an important part of the modern packaging industry.

At present, the output of paper and paperboard in China is increasing year by year. Packaging paper and paperboard account for more than 50% of the total output of paper and paperboard in China. Per capita consumption of paper has become an important indicator of the economic development level and social civilization of a country. Recycling paper packaging waste has the following implications:

(1) The recycling of paper packaging waste can reduce the consumption of natural fiber raw material resources and solve the shortage of packaging resources. At the same time, it can save a lot of packaging raw materials and energy.

(2) Recycling of paper packaging waste greatly reduces production costs and achieves greater social and economic benefits.

(3) Recycling paper packaging waste is one of the important measures to reduce packaging pollution and protect the environment.
