Misunderstanding of Packaging Consciousness on the Environment

Misunderstanding in packaging awareness

The current packaging industry, especially the packaging of small-sized daily-use industrial products, has some misunderstanding in consciousness. In order to meet the high demands of some consumers for their visual and sensory feelings, they are increasingly pursuing exquisite, luxurious, and trend-oriented crafts. Some products, on the outside, appear to be even more attractive than the product itself, and it is no wonder that the ancients made jokes to buy and sell.

the effect on the environment

1, manufacturing high-level waste

Even if it is beautifully packaged, it is only packaged. When the product completes the sales process and reaches the hands of consumers, it becomes a veritable junk. The more refined the packaging, the more complicated the production process. The more complex the components, the more difficult it is to degrade naturally in the environment, and the longer the environmental pollution.

2, causing waste of resources

According to information, in most industrial productions, the amount of final products usually only accounts for 5%-10% of the total amount of raw materials processed, and the remaining 90%-95% are converted into waste through industrial processing.

Studies have shown that while the industrial production is developing, the consumption of natural resources and the amount of waste generated also increase exponentially with the law of exponential functions, which has caused the depletion of some natural resources and the increasing worldwide environmental pollution. We must use limited natural resources for ideas so that we can share our limited natural resources and minimize environmental pollution.

The packaging material itself is also a kind of product. It is also made from resources. The more complicated the packaging, the smaller the proportion of raw materials processed into products, and the higher the proportion of wastes that are converted into waste products through industrial processing, which inevitably causes waste of resources. Not to mention that packaging as a special kind of consumer will also become waste after it is sold by the packaged products. This requires our packaging industry to use simple packaging materials and simple, clean production processes.

3, excessive packaging indirect impact on the city

The more elaborate and delicate the packaging, the more complicated the production process and the more production links. Some packaging, in order to look, need to carry out electroplating, bronzing, in addition to loading and other processing, and these production processes itself, large pollution, generally in order to improve the anti-corrosion properties of the product had to be adopted. For the packaging, as far as possible not to use the pollution of the production process, the production process for simple, clean production.

For raw materials for packaging, in order to achieve the appearance of the requirements, they tend to scribble, and some use advanced plastics, composite materials, and these materials in the production process is more complex, but also belongs to the big pollution industry, which indirectly exacerbates the environment Pollution.

Suggest

In view of the certain misunderstandings in packaging awareness, we must emphasize the inherent characteristics of the packaging itself so that we can better understand the packaging and also the packaging. Packaging features: (1) practicality; (2) robustness; and (3) protection of the product from damage during transportation and sales. For this reason, the author suggests:

1. From the viewpoint of resource conservation and prevention of pollution, the recycling department of materials, especially packaging waste, is necessary.

2. The packaging industry should correct its production purpose as soon as possible, and also pack the true colors. Do not over-emphasize the exquisite packaging.

3. Through a variety of mass media, vigorously promote publicity and teaching, correct people's understanding of packaging, and call on consumers to not make extravagant demands on the appearance of packaging. To the extent possible, advocate a simple life and make every effort to improve the global environment.
