Because of you, the world has become so beautiful because with the green, the earth is so vibrant. Today, when we advocate green consumption, think about whether the outer packaging of food should also be “greenâ€? In fact, as early as June 5, 1972, the UN issued the “Declaration of the Human Environmentâ€. On June 5, 1973, the first “World Environment Day†was held in various countries around the world. In 1975, the world's first green packaging "green" logo was introduced in Germany. A look at the history of the 21st century reveals that the green packaging of Chinese food is not ideal. As a result, environmental experts have called for the green wave to sweep across the world. In 1975, the world’s first green packaging “green dot†logo was created by the green arrow. A circular pattern composed of white arrows and the upper text is composed of German DERGRNEPUNKT, which means "green dots". The green dot's two-color arrow indicates that the product or package is green and can be recycled and used, meeting the requirements of ecological balance and environmental protection. In 1977, the German government launched the “Blue Sky†green environmental protection label and granted products with green features, including packaging. The “Blue Sky†logo is composed of an inner ring and a blue outer ring. The inner ring is a blue garland composed of the crown of the United Nations. The middle is a small blue angel that embraces the earth-like pattern with arms to indicate the meaning of protecting the earth. Above the outer ring is the German circulation logo, and below the outer ring is the name of the German product category.
In the 1990s, garbage was widely distributed in Europe. Every household uses different plastic bags for packaging, green bagged bottles, blue bagged waste paper, yellow bagged Aluminum products and plastics, and brown bagged fruit and vegetable waste. There are many garbage cans of different colors. People use different types of waste to put them into the big mouth with letters (colors). Experts point out that the safety, product quality, and product environmental protection of German products are among the highest in the world, ranking first in the world. The 2nd, 4th, and 2nd place, its environmental trade volume accounted for 20% of the world, ranked first in the world.
After the use of the "Environmental Mark" in Germany, Canada, Japan, the United States, Australia, Finland, France, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Italy, the United Kingdom and other countries have also started to implement environmental labels for product packaging. Such as Canada's "Maple Pigeon", Japan's "Love the Earth", the United States "natural friendship" and the certificate system, China's "Environmental Mark", the European Community's "European Flower", Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway, etc. White Swans of the Nordic countries, the "NF" logo of France, the "Eco-label" of Austria, the "Eco-logo" of India, the "Eco-label" of South Korea, the "Green Mark" of Singapore, and the "Environmental Choice of New Zealand" â€, Portugal’s “ecological productsâ€, Croatia’s “environmentally friendly†and so on.
3R1D Principles Recognized in the World Experts said that in 1987, the United Nations Commission on Environment and Development issued our common future declaration, which has set off a global green wave centered on protecting the environment and saving resources. The green wave is a declaration of war on the environment and the destruction of resources, and it calls for the creation of a clean and fresh ecological environment for mankind to return to nature. As a new concept to effectively solve the packaging and the environment, it emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s. This new concept is also known abroad as "pollution-free packaging" or "friendship of the environment," China's packaging industry began in 1993, using the metaphor of environmental protection, collectively referred to as green packaging.
The principle recognized by the world today for the development of green packaging is the 3R1D principle. That is, reduction of packaging is implemented. Packaging should be used in a minimum amount under the conditions of protection, convenience, sales, etc.; packaging should be easy to reuse (Reuse) or easy to recycle (Recycle). Through the production of recycled products, incineration of heat energy, composting and improvement of soil and other measures to achieve the purpose of reuse; packaging waste can be degradable, do not form permanent waste, and thus achieve the purpose of improving soil; packaging materials should be applied to humans and organisms. toxic free and safe. Packaging materials should not contain toxic elements: halogens, heavy metals, or the content should be controlled below relevant standards. These four points are the requirements that green packaging must have. Another point is that packaging products from the collection of raw materials, materials processing, manufacturing products, product use, waste recycling and regeneration, and ultimately to the final treatment of the life cycle should not cause harm to the human body and the environment. This is the highest requirement for green packaging based on the life cycle analysis methodology and system engineering perspective.
Green packaging is an ideal packaging, and it needs a process to fully meet its requirements. In order to make it possible to pursue both the direction and the goals that can be achieved in phases, green packaging is divided into two levels. Grade A means that waste can be recycled, reused or degraded, and moderately packed with toxic substances within the prescribed limits. Grade AA means that waste can be reused, reused or degraded, and does not cause harm to the human body and the environment throughout the product's life cycle. The toxic substances are properly packaged within the prescribed limits.
Green Packaging Goes to Legalization Laws and regulations have enabled the green revolution to continue to develop. In 1981, the Danish government first introduced the "Container Packaging Recycling Act" in view of the adverse effects of the increase in empty containers for beverage containers. As the implementation of this law affects the free movement of goods within the European Community, it affects the interests of its member countries. So a "Danish bottle" lawsuit hit the European court. In 1988, the European Court ruled that Denmark won. In order to alleviate disputes, the European Community held a conference in Dublin in June 1990 to put forward the idea of ​​“fully protecting the environment†and formulated the Waste Transport Law, which stipulated that packaging waste should not be shipped to other countries, and countries should take responsibility for waste. In December 1994, the European Community issued the "Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive." After the "Dublin Declaration," countries in Western Europe have successively formulated relevant laws and regulations.
Responding to Europe, the United States, Canada, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, China Hong Kong, the Philippines, Brazil and other countries have also formulated the packaging laws and regulations.
Since 1979, China has promulgated four special laws and eight resource laws, including the "Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China," "Prevention and Treatment of Solid Waste," "Water Pollution Control Law," and "Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law." More than 30 environmental protection regulations expressly regulate the management of packaging waste. In 1984, the state set up an environmental protection committee. On May 7, 1994, the China Environmental Labelling Product Certification Committee (CCEL) was formally established and began to implement the environmental labeling system. In 1998, the Provincial Green Packaging Association was established.
Although all countries have established environmental labels, they are basically based on the standards of various countries, but the differences are relatively large, which objectively acts as a "technical barrier" to international trade. In this case, the International Organization for Standardization became aware of the responsibilities of ISO in 1991. . The "Environmental Strategy Advisory Group" was established to make preparations. In June 1993, the “Environmental Management Technical Committee†(TC207) was established to set up an environmental management standard like quality management. To date, the TC 207 Committee has established a number of standards (ISO 14000) and issued them for implementation. The US business and packaging industries have implemented the ISO14000 standard and formulated related "environmental report cards" to evaluate the life cycle of packaging and improve the environmental management system of packaging companies. Japan established the Japan Environmental Auditing and Certification Organization in October 1994. The European Community put forward the "European Environmental Management and Environmental Audit" in March 1993 and began implementation in April 1995. Some Chinese enterprises have also started to implement the ISO14000 series of standards, and there is still a certain gap compared with foreign countries.
Waste utilization is not optimistic According to expert statistics, 3.9 kilograms of residual plastic products per mu of land in China, corn production by 11% to 13%, barley production by 9% to 10%, rice production by 8% to 14%, soybean production 5. From 5% to 9%, vegetables range from 14.5% to 59.2%. A large number of discarded boxes, bowls and bags occupy the already strained land resources and reduce crop production.
Nowadays, some Western developed countries have higher recycling rates for packaging waste. For example, the recycling rate for paper packaging is 47.8% in the United States and 37.1% in Japan. Another example is the recycling of plastic packaging waste, which is mainly used in Western countries for recycling, incineration and deep-buried disposal. Western Europe, Japan, and the United States, the recycling rate of plastic packaging waste was 15%, 5%, and 10%, respectively, and the incineration rates were 30%, 70%, and 5% respectively. The deep burial rates were 55%, 25%, and 85% respectively. . Another example is the average rate of recovery of glass packaging in western European countries is 30.5%, and Japan is 49%.
China is not optimistic about the recycling of packaging waste. For example, the recycling rate of paper packaging is only 20.4%, the recycling rate of plastic packaging waste is about 10%, and glass bottles are about 20%.
