What is white pollution and green packaging

In the current social development, packaging products and people's production and life are closely related, and various forms of packaging are becoming more and more diversified, bringing great convenience to people's lives. However, with the rapid rise of the packaging industry, packaging waste is also increasing day by day. Some packaging materials are difficult to recycle and handle, resulting in extremely serious environmental pollution.

Diaspora. Disposable food packaging, plastic bags, foamed lunch boxes, and non-degradable farmland membranes have become major sources of pollution affecting the environment, so people's image of plastic waste is “white pollution”.

Green packaging on the packaging materials, some people think that as long as the material can be degraded is considered green, in fact, this understanding is wrong. The true green environmental protection package should be based on the premise of not contaminating the environment and protecting human health, taking full advantage of renewable resources, conserving natural resources and reducing energy consumption as the development direction, and aiming at the benefit of mankind.
Green packaging is taken from nature, but it is not necessarily absolutely natural. The key depends on whether it can be recycled and whether it can return to nature. Absolute natural materials can be naturally weathered and returned to the earth after being abandoned. It can be said that it is a natural green material. However, some materials are also taken from nature and then undergo further production and processing, such as non-toxic plastics. After they become waste, they can still be recycled into green packaging as long as they can be recycled.
