There is a misunderstanding in the green packaging industry

In recent years, the rapid development of China's green packaging industry, the use of more environmentally friendly packaging materials, market share has gradually increased, the technology content is getting higher and higher, some products have reached the international advanced level, in the international market is better Sales. However, relevant people believe that there is still one-sidedness in the development of green packaging in China.
In the minds of the packaging industry and the general public, green packaging is often regarded as greening of packaging products, and the packaging products made of environmentally-degradable materials are erroneously treated as green packaging, regardless of whether the production of the packaging products caused Environmental pollution and waste of resources, as well as reuse of packaged products after use, have led to some misconceptions about 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 considers the environmental impact of packaging from the entire life cycle of the product. 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, resource recycling, etc., is promoted by green packaging.
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 of other raw materials for papermaking is 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 also the most rapidly growing packaging materials. The main measure to reduce the environmental impact of plastics is to strengthen recycling control rather than unilaterally prohibiting it. 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.
The development of China's green packaging industry is uneven. First of all, 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. Enterprises that rely mainly on the domestic market are slow to respond to green packaging. In recent years, they have only begun to engage in green packaging. Secondly, the development of the regions is not balanced, and the green packaging in the economically developed regions has developed rapidly. The green packaging in the central and western regions where the economy is relatively backward has not received sufficient attention and publicity. The development is slow.
