The vast majority of packaging after use can not escape the possibility of becoming garbage, but in the logistics process, packaging is indispensable, then how to reduce waste, how to make good use of garbage. This is a big issue that is facing the global ecological balance.
According to related materials, China's plastic packaging is currently more than 2 million baht per year, of which it is difficult to return. The use of disposable plastic packaging accounts for 30%, and other statistics, China's annual waste generated about 16 million tons, of which the main It is the waste of plastic packaging products. It has discarded up to 1 million tons per year, including plastic packaging lunch boxes, cup trays, foaming materials, beverage bottles, various plastic packaging for candies and food, and various plastic packaging bags. and many more. According to experts, these white garbage will not disappear on the surface for quite some time.
From this it can be seen that packaging waste has been slowly eroding our living environment, in addition to we should take the attitude of the master, scientifically processing the domestic waste produced each time, on the production or use of various plastic packaging manufacturers or related The supervision department should also be responsible for finding scientific and reasonable ways or through research and development or alternative products to curb the environmental pollution of packaging waste.
The green design, the formulation and the initiative of green packaging can be described as a gratifying message in this field, becoming the reality of civilization and the direction of future development. As early as the 1980s, Germany took the lead in launching the "green packaging" with the "Green Grund" (green packaging) logo. In the following decades, the sound speed of green packaging developed around the world. By 1993, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) formally established the “Environmental Protection Committee†to develop green environmental protection standards. It was formally implemented in the world in January 1996. Has been widely recognized and promoted by countries around the world.
In addition to using the green logo, the development of green, eco-friendly packaging materials is the most substantial measure. For example, the well-known candy packaging, glutinous rice paper used, and corn baking packaging ice cream packaging cups are typical edible packaging. This type of material and similar materials are both economical and pollution-free.
Furthermore, recyclable materials and recycled materials should be used as much as possible to increase the recycling of materials and save global resources. Such as our common beer, beverages, soy sauce, vinegar and other packaging used in glass bottles can be used repeatedly recycled materials: renewable materials refers to polyester packaging and then recycled, can be recycled by physical and chemical methods to recycle . In Finland, the recycling rate of plastic bottles is as high as 99%. In shopping malls, self-study people send waste bottles to recycling machines, and the recycling machines retrieve the amount. Here, environmental awareness has been concretely reproduced and implemented.
The degradable material is a material worth further research and development. After being used, the material is gradually degraded and reduced in the natural environment under the action of light and microorganisms in the soil and water, and finally reenters in a non-toxic form. In the ecological environment, return to nature. For example, a French dairy company made a yoghurt extracted from sugar beet, made into a yogurt box and a cup plate. The basic raw material of this ecological box is beet, which becomes a light and strong material through the incorporation of minerals. Boxes (cups) made from this kind of material can be decomposed into fertilizers for farms below 55 in Celsius and 60 days. . For another example, paper materials are widely used in the packaging industry. The raw materials of paper are mainly natural plant fibers, which will be rapidly decomposed in nature, resulting in a low degree of environmental pollution and can be recycled. In many international companies, recycled paper is used for the production of annual reports and publicity materials, and letter paper and letter paper made from recycled paper are used to reflect the green principles of their environmental concerns and establish a good corporate image.
In summary, the solution to the problem of green packaging from the development of packaging materials is an important way, and it is also one of the factors that guarantee the development of this field or sustainable development. In addition, the accurate and rational selection of materials in the packaging design process, combined with perfect creativity, can also play a decisive role in the development of green packaging.
Throughout our history, many packages still circulating today are still worth learning when we design. For example, rice bran packaging in China is an excellent traditional packaging design. The outer layer of the packaging, the loquat leaf, is derived from the natural plant reed. The fragrance of the loquat leaves not only adds to the endless aftertaste of the rice bran, but also discards it in nature after use. Easy to break down and disappear. As far as China's pottery is concerned, pottery products have been widely used in life since ancient times. Pottery is made from natural sand, hard and easy to hold, and it is easy to use and return to nature. In China's wine packaging design, there are still good applications of pottery and porcelain everywhere. The ingenious design of the shape, together with the artistic processing and ingenious combination of color and tone, this type of packaging still retains its modernity, and deeply immersed in the literacy of ancient Chinese culture, which is a magical match with the principle of green packaging. This shows that as long as the measures are adapted to local conditions and cleverly craftsmen based on local materials, this will not only save energy but also benefit the environment. In this sense, the potential for development in packaging is immeasurable.
In the design of packaging, in addition to the use of materials that are easily degradable and return to nature, saving materials is also one of the main contents of the green packaging. If a package overemphasizes its structure, layers of wrapping paper and packaging are intended to enhance the high-grade packaging of goods. Despite the exquisite decoration techniques and high design quality, waste of materials is also not worth advocating. If the design of the packaging is clever and vivid. Making beautiful, enhancing its collection value and creating its reusable opportunities is a design trend worthy of promotion.
For another example, in the past, Chinese people bought vegetables on the street and used only a hand-held basket. This was an extremely common phenomenon at that time. But now this vegetable basket has been replaced by a variety of plastic convenience bags. Although the plastic bag is convenient, it has brought troubles that are difficult to handle. It can be seen that when people go to a grocery store or a supermarket to buy daily necessities, they may wish to buy another reusable basket or shopping bag. This will not only reduce the generation of garbage, but also save energy consumption, which is also a sense of environmental protection. reflect.
Countries such as Europe and the United States once again designed discarded records as packaging containers such as fruit trays, used corrugated cardboard boxes for recycling, and carefully designed seats with different functions in life. It not only gives old materials new uses and lives, but also brings them back to the consumers and has a unique cultural taste. The re-use of similar materials is common in the packaging field, especially in countries and regions where the economy is developed and cultural literacy is high. In developing countries, the degree of attention to the reuse of used waste is not enough. The participation of the public And it is not enough. It is worth our careful consideration.
In addition, in the design language, more emphasis should be placed on promoting and publicizing the environmental protection message. The atmosphere of green packaging should be exposed in the pattern, name, color, and characters, so as to form a mainstream of design and spread. In the design, we always appreciate the harmony between design and production, the tacit understanding of production and consumption, and the harmony between life and ecology. When designing, we should consider the use of resources, environmental impact, and solutions in all aspects, from materials selection, structural functions, manufacturing processes, packaging methods, storage and transportation methods, product use, and waste disposal. The principle of conservation is always applied throughout the design process. Energy consumption should be reduced as much as possible, and it should be easily disassembled so that materials and components can be used again.
Green packaging is not only a great revolution in packaging design itself, but also a great revolution in packaging materials, and it is also a great revolution concerning the development of our human existence. Green packaging brings more challenges to packaging design and brings more opportunities.
With the development of the world economy, how to protect resources and the environment and create a good space for survival and development is the basic strategy for implementing a sound global sustainable development of the economy. It is hoped that the green will truly become the charming color of the 21st world and that green packaging will truly become the future of packaging design.
