For packaging, it is necessary to extend its life cycle and use reusable packaging containers to increase the recycling rate of the packaging to save energy and materials. In addition to the selection of reusable materials, it is also crucial to improve the quality of packaging design. If the service life of a package product is doubled, half of the packaging waste will be correspondingly reduced. "Resources" is aimed at the output. It requires that the produced goods can be turned into usable resources instead of garbage after they have completed their functions, so as to reduce the final processing capacity, that is, the comprehensive utilization of waste. Designers of packaging products should pay attention to selecting materials with reusable value so that packaging waste can be recycled back into the economic cycle. In the operation of circular economy, establishing a company's environmental protection management system (EMS) is the key to the implementation of clean production, but also the primary conditions for the development of ecological packaging.
To establish an EMS system, we must first assess the company’s environmental behavior and environmental impact. The contents of the EMS system include the energy consumption and material consumption of the packaging products, the emission indicators of the packaging materials during the production process and after the packaging products are used (such as sewage, waste, and incineration). Or post-buried pollution, etc.), the comprehensive impact of corporate activities on environmental protection, etc. The evaluation results will help companies choose environmental technologies, clean processes and new management systems. On the basis of environmental assessment, we will establish an “environmental protection management system†whose core content is environmental policy, environmental planning, implementation and operation, inspection and correction, and management review. The EMS system will ensure that companies implement "green standards" and eventually achieve the goal of "ecological packaging." The environmental policy, environmental protection objectives and activity plan formulated by the company should be compatible with the company's own attributes, scale, production activities, products and services that affect the environment, and save resources, reduce pollution, recycle, and comply with relevant regulations. Promise of. EMS will also be responsible for routine tasks such as environmental supervision and environmental inspections.
2. Promoting green consumption and building a market environment for ecological packaging With the improvement of people’s quality of life and the enhancement of environmental awareness, consumers’ attitudes, values, behaviors, and consumer psychology in shopping have undergone tremendous changes. The "green consumer" fashion has emerged in the world. Green consumption is the consumption behavior of the general public in the circular economy. Consumers who are directly producing packaging waste need to establish values ​​and consumption concepts that are in harmony with the environment, consciously choose lifestyles and consumption patterns that are conducive to the environment, promote the development of commodity packaging in the direction of “ecological packaging,†and promote The market is shifting towards a circular economy.
In developed countries, green consumption has become a trend of the times and integrated into people's lives. According to relevant resource statistics, 82% of Germans and 62% of Dutch people give priority to environmental protection when shopping in supermarkets; 66% of Britons are willing to spend more money on green products; 84% of Americans are willing to buy Fruits and vegetables produced through organic farming methods; More than 80% of consumers in Europe and the United States have put environmental protection shopping first and are willing to pay higher prices for environmental cleanliness. Green consumption also has a certain market in China. According to a survey conducted by the China Social Survey Office, 72% of people believe that the development of the environmental protection industry and the development of green products are beneficial to improving the environment; 54% are willing to use green products, and 38% People said they purchased green products.
Green consumption often depends on the green sign to guide. As far as the world packaging industry is concerned, Germany has taken the lead in implementing ecological packaging and using green signs. Subsequently, the European Union, the United States, Japan, and Canada have followed suit. The "Environmental Protection Mark" is a green mark in international standards. The WTO rules show that any product that obtains the "Environmental Protection Mark" can enter the international market. The European Union has recently reiterated that the product packaging must have the principle of "Environmental Protection Marking". Driven by the trend of green consumption, people will no longer only pay attention to whether the quality of the goods is qualified or whether the packaging is exquisite when they purchase merchandise. Instead, they are more concerned about whether the products meet the requirements of environmental protection and whether there are green signs on the packaging. Consumers are privileged to make a contribution to the environmental protection business by buying products with a green logo. As consumer demand for ecological packaging is relatively strong, manufacturers of goods will proceed from their own economic interests and will also have to take into account the environmental factors of product packaging, take the initiative to adopt ecological packaging, and implement green marketing to cater to consumers. The psychology promotes the sale of goods. (To be continued)
Circular Economy and Ecological Packaging (in)
The clean production of goods packaging requires the manufacturer to follow the principle of “reducing, reusing and reusing†the economic activities of the recycling economy throughout the entire life cycle of the packaging, so as to minimize the environmental impact of the packaging. "Reduction" is for the input, which requires less input of raw materials and energy to achieve the intended production or consumption. At the source of economic activity, attention should be paid to saving resources and reducing pollution. Fortunately, waste should be avoided through prevention rather than end-of-pipe management. To implement "reduction" of commodity packaging, it is necessary to start from improving the design. When guaranteeing the functions of protection, transportation, storage and sales of packaging, the priority is to minimize the total amount of materials used, use the smallest volume of packaging design as much as possible, excessive Packaging or disposable packaging does not meet the reduction principle. “Reuse†refers to the time intensity of the product. It requires that the product and the packaging container be used in the initial form as many times as possible or in multiple ways to avoid premature littering and to resist the use of disposables in the world today. flood.
