Eco-Friendly Packaging: A Global Path to Resource Savings and Pollution Reduction
As environmental problems become increasingly prominent, people are gradually recognizing the importance of environmental protection and giving stronger support to the use of green eco-friendly materials in packaging design. Developing and utilizing new eco-friendly materials has become a common global goal.
Under the influence of new environmental protection concepts, product packaging designers have abandoned the previously cumbersome packaging design process and are instead seeking simplified and lightweight design models. When choosing packaging materials, they favor eco-friendly options such as degradable materials, natural polymer compounds, and other materials that do not pollute the environment. Such materials often have abundant reserves in nature and are renewable, so they meet people's current demand for sustainable development.
Discarded packaging materials are usually treated by incineration or burial, but traditional packaging materials cause serious pollution to the natural environment in both the incineration and burial processes. Non-degradability is a common characteristic of traditional packaging materials, so when buried in soil they need a large amount of time to be effectively decomposed, with some even taking as long as several decades to be completely decomposed. Even if incineration is chosen, it produces large amounts of sulfurous polluting gases after burning, which are highly harmful to the air environment. New green eco-friendly materials, however, do not have such problems: new materials have stronger self-degradation ability and can be effectively decomposed in a short time when buried in the land. In addition, the decomposition products can effectively enhance soil fertility, promote the yield of crops grown on the land, and effectively avoid pollution to the environment.
