Green packaging is discussed fiercely every year and the topic become more and more fierce.
From a technical perspective, green packaging refers to the natural plants and minerals as raw materials related to the development of ecological environment and human health in pairs harmless, beneficial recycling, susceptible to degradation, sustainable development of an eco-friendly packaging. That is to say, its packaging products from raw material selection, manufacturing to use and disposal of products throughout their life cycle that shall comply with the requirements of ecological and environmental protection and should be green packaging materials, packaging design and packaging industry to develop green packaging industry.
But there some mistakes in green packaging. Green packaging material for packaging does have special requirements, however, the packaging material is not at any time could play a decisive role. Domestic in green packaging currently exist to a certain extent misunderstanding on such an understanding which only pay attention to what the packaging material is, regardless of the status of production and recycling of packaging materials and their impact on the environment. Many people simply regard biodegradable packaging material products as green packaging, but they ignore the environmental pollution and waste of resources. Thus, inevitably, the green concept of the green packaging enter into a narrow understanding of green concept.
In fact, whether a package really belong to the green packaging can be seen from the product’s entire life cycle’s impact on the environment arising. Whether the material is environmental protection should be according to material processing energy consumption, sustainable use of materials, renewable resources, and pollution of the processing and use, and processing costs and other aspects into account, so that it can obtain relatively scientific conclusion.
