At present, developed countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, Germany, Japan, and France have all formulated regulations on packaging regulations, and some countries have also implemented the “environmental protection mark” system to strengthen the environmental protection of manufacturers, importers, and retailers. Consciousness; Therefore, Chinese exporters must start with environmental protection when selecting packaging materials, packaging technology, packaging machinery, and packaging service agencies to improve their products' competitiveness in overseas markets.

First, environmental protection packaging requirements

Environmental packaging requirements, the packaging of goods from the raw material selection, development, processing, use and recycling of the entire process must meet the requirements of harmless, non-polluting and environmental protection.

Environmental packaging, also known as green packaging. Packaging is the beautification of products, and the concept of “green” makes this beautification process more environmentally friendly. International calls for protecting the environment, protecting the earth, and saving resources have become increasingly demanding, and overseas markets have increasingly stringent requirements for the packaging of foreign trade products.

The environmental protection packaging is embodied in: (1) is the province of materials, the least waste, and saves energy; (2) is easy to recycle; (3) is the material that is discarded and no secondary pollution occurs; (3) Environmentally-friendly packaging materials can be decomposed on their own without polluting the environment.

Therefore, the selection of environmentally friendly packaging materials should reflect the basic principles of harmless, non-polluting and renewable.

Environmental packaging can not only change the image of Chinese export products in overseas developed markets, but also can improve its competitiveness more effectively.

Second, environmental protection packaging will become the mainstream of the market

The basis of environmental protection packaging is ISO14000. Most countries use this as a standard to promote the environmental protection packaging model. The ISO14000 series expressly stipulates that any internationally-purchased product (packaging) shall be subject to environmental certification and ecological assessment (LCA), and shall use the environmental label. Since 1999, ISO has implemented a green “environmental sign” to push the green revolution of product packaging to a new level.

China's export enterprises have comprehensively promoted environmental protection packaging. Its significance is not only to reduce environmental pollution, but also to be a pass for companies to enter the international market. Whoever has easy-to-recover packaging will be able to seize the market. Whoever has no recycling mark/packaged environmental label on the packaging will have difficulty accessing the world market.

Third, use environmentally friendly packaging materials

Environmental packaging has a clear definition of the recycling of packaging materials: reusable packaging materials, edible packaging materials, soluble materials, and natural paper materials.

Recyclable and environmentally-friendly packaging materials are classified into: (1) Paper-loading categories: Corrugated cardboard boxes, cardboard boxes, cardboard drums, high-grade cartons, pulp molded products, and trays; (2) Wood packaging types: ordinary wooden boxes , Frame wooden boxes, plywood boxes, fiberboard boxes, plywood barrels, fiberboard barrels, wooden trays for transport packaging, etc.; (3) plastic packaging categories: plastic turnover boxes, plastic closed barrels, plastic woven bags, flexible container bags, plastic nets Eye bags; (4) metal packaging categories: thin steel barrels, galvanized iron barrels, aluminum barrels, iron-plastic composite barrels. (5) In order to save natural materials, in recent years, domestic and international packaging industry to actively adopt new technology research and development of new environmentally friendly packaging materials. Pure natural environmental protection packaging materials have no pollution, but they have high commercial costs and are a serious waste of the earth's resources. On the basis of following the basic principles, composite environmental protection packaging materials are more cost-effective, non-polluting, and easy to recycle. , will become the mainstream of environmental protection packaging in the future.

Fourth, using environmentally friendly technology for packaging

Packaging materials are the basis, and environmental packaging technologies and equipment also determine the amount of "gold content" of environmental packaging.

Environmental packaging equipment is a high-tech, high-intelligence, highly competitive product that integrates electromechanical, optoelectronics, bionics, etc., with rapid development and quick update. The world's new high technology is fully reflected in packaging equipment. With the widespread adoption of new composite packaging materials, the requirements for packaging equipment and processes are particularly important.

Packaging enterprises should adopt advanced processing techniques in export packaging.

Nowadays, environmentally-friendly packaging adopts fully automatic intelligent and digital packaging equipment, high-speed film making and bag making equipment, super-large hollow container molding equipment of over 1000L, and high-tech packaging equipment such as energy-saving and comprehensive utilization equipment are widely used.

In addition, the recycling equipment and secondary processing equipment for used raw materials are also adapted to the requirements of environmental regeneration. The introduction of the ISO14000 environmental standard has made the protection of the environment and maintenance of ecological balance a direction for the development of environmentally friendly packaging equipment (machinery).

Fifth, rely on professional packaging services

At present, the international market has different requirements for environmental protection, and countries have different requirements for different commodity packaging. Export companies should choose professional packaging service agencies. These institutions have long been engaged in external packaging business, have a deep understanding of the international market's environmental protection requirements, and have experience in environmental protection packaging.

When selecting an environmental packaging organization, it should pay attention to whether the other party's printing and packaging standards are close to those of the same industry in the world, and whether the materials selected by the other party are in conformity with the requirements and regulations of international relevant agencies and organizations.

In short, the cost of environmental-friendly packaging compared to ordinary packaging is generally not higher than 5%, but the benefits to exporters are enormous. First, exporters will not be required to pay large fines for environmental pollution caused by packaging; The use of environmentally-friendly packaging will help increase product awareness.

At present, western industrialized countries have intensified their awareness of environmental protection and implemented "entrepreneurial trade barriers," which is undoubtedly a new test for China's export industry.

China's information industry has proposed: In the new era, the product packaging of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology should focus on the development and application of high-efficiency, low-consumption, energy-saving and environment-friendly packaging materials and implement the “Environmental Protection Packaging” project.
