There is no doubt that improving the sustainability and environmental friendliness of packaging is a hot topic in the packaging field. Although this industry has made great progress in sustainable development, people still lack some basic common sense in sustainable development. , Especially for companies that lack a large number of packaging employees or sustainable development departments. In 2005, the American Association of Packaging Professionals (IoPP) published a "Environmental Guidelines for the Packaging Industry", which was completed by four graduates of the University of California under the guidance of companies such as HP, IBM, and AMD. In helping packaging engineers to improve the environmental protection characteristics of packaging. Now, with the advancement of technology and changes in the industry, these guidelines have been given new connotations. Today we will take a new inventory of them. For a packaging design process, we can improve its sustainability and environmental friendliness through nine steps. The first and most important step is to determine the company's goals and plans. You need to understand what the company is most concerned about environmental issues, and focus on these issues when designing. For example, does your company care about the amount or type of plastic used in packaging? If so, then you should consider this issue when designing new packaging. The second step is to determine the destination of the package, which not only helps the designer to design the final disposal method (recycling, landfill or incineration), but also allows you to calculate the environmental protection related to this package cost. The third is to determine the applicable regulations. Regulations are the most important link in packaging design, so they must be considered in advance. In addition, it is necessary to determine whether the packaging needs to comply with the same regulations in different application areas. If not, the packaging should be designed according to the application area. The fourth step is to determine the shipping method of the package. In general, it is best to use the most energy-efficient mode of transportation. However, in some cases, the transportation method of the product is determined according to the requirements of the enterprise (for example: reducing costs, reducing inventory, increasing turnover, increasing flexibility, shortening the distance from customers / suppliers, etc.). Therefore, we must first determine that the packaging can meet the transportation requirements of the product, and then choose the most energy-efficient transportation method. The fifth is to determine the internal requirements of the enterprise. The requirements of marketing, legal affairs and other departments should be taken into account. The requirements of these departments determine whether an environmentally friendly packaging has economic benefits, whether it can enhance the image and awareness of the product, and whether it can protect the product from physical, biological or chemical damage. The sixth step is to determine and understand customer requirements. Customers (mainly retailers) generally put forward their own requirements for product packaging, including unacceptable types of materials and specific tray requirements. You'd better be able to fully understand the above information from sales staff or supply chain colleagues, in addition, you can also log in to the customer's website to find relevant information. The seventh is to choose appropriate raw materials. Product manufacturers have to weigh many pros and cons when choosing raw materials. The choice they make must meet all the requirements of packaging in their life cycle. The eighth step is to complete the actual packaging design. If you can strictly follow the above seven steps, you should have enough information to reduce the environmental impact of the packaging. The ninth is to let people understand what you have done to the packaging and why you should do it, so that customers and retailers can fully feel the improvement in environmental protection of product packaging. If you really achieve the above nine points, you will be able to effectively improve the environmental impact of the product.
