Discussion on the development trend of food packaging materials in the future
At present, in the current social and economic environment of our country, there are still three contradictions: the contradiction between enterprise goal and circular economic benefit, the contradiction between enterprise development and resource saving, and the contradiction between enterprise benefit evaluation and government incentive mechanism. As a result, "energy saving and emission reduction" and "circular economy" have become the slogans of packaging enterprises, but they have not really thought and implemented. Packaging enterprises should actively respond to the national "circular economy" policy and implement the extended production responsibility system. In the production of enterprises, not only the source of raw materials in the design and production process, but also the energy consumption in the process of processing, environmental pollution and the transportation, storage, damage and recovery after the commodity is used up in the sales process. The process of "life cycle assessment (LAC)" will evaluate any product from its birth to its grave, that is to say, the enterprise has changed from "production consumption" in the past to "resource product renewable resource" now.
Packaging plays an irreplaceable role in protecting food, preventing food from being polluted by external microorganisms or other substances, preventing or reducing food oxidation and other reactions. Packaging is indispensable for human life, and also has a direct impact on human health due to unqualified packaging. From the establishment of the food safety committee of the State Council on food safety at the beginning of this year to the meeting of "sustainable development of fine packaging" this month, it can be said that the theme of major food packaging exhibitions at home and abroad this year has been "green and healthy", and sustainable development has become an obvious trend of food packaging related enterprises.
At present, there is no completely unified definition of green packaging. Generally speaking, the appropriate packaging that can recycle, reuse or degrade and decompose, and does not cause public hazard to human body and environment in the whole life cycle of products is called green packaging. The most important meaning of green packaging is to protect the environment, but also has the significance of resource regeneration.
Data show that food packaging accounts for 70% of the total commodity packaging, covering paper, plastic, glass and metal packaging. They can find the "carbon footprint" of carbon emissions from their energy and resource consumption. According to statistics, plastic packaging accounted for 54% of the global sales of packaging materials in 2009, which shows the share and development momentum of plastics in the packaging market. At the same time, it also strongly promotes the progress of food, daily chemical and pharmaceutical industries, and the progress of these industries in turn further stimulates the market demand of plastic flexible packaging film.
At the same time, "Circular Economy Promotion Law" also made it clear that China's economic trend in the future will be "reduction" and "resource" transition. With the promulgation and implementation of the law, it will greatly promote the governments at all levels to unify the decision-making consciousness of "circular development, energy conservation and emission reduction" into the overall situation of regional economic development. Food packaging industry is no exception.
At present, in order to cooperate with merchants to attract consumers, packaging manufacturers often only pay attention to the beauty and uniqueness of packaging, but ignore whether it is conducive to recycling, whether it is easy to disassemble and other factors, and even some packaging will harm the health of consumers. Dong Jinshi, an environmental protection expert, suggested that packaging enterprises should actively respond to national policies and resolutely implement the circular economy promotion law. Starting from the selection of packaging materials and the design of packaging shapes, packaging enterprises should really integrate the concept of "energy conservation and emission reduction" and "circular economy" into the production of packaging products.
As the packaging coat of food, especially whether the packaging materials are safe or not is directly related to the safety degree of the food. Generally speaking, food packaging enterprises should develop in the following directions when implementing sustainable development: Safety - Double QS of food and food packaging; transparency - development and production of colorless transparent or translucent packaging products to facilitate waste recycling; reduction - packaging materials should be thin and light as far as possible; resource-based packaging system with higher value Product recycling; harmlessness -- proper treatment of packaging waste; industrialization -- recycling of its products by enterprises themselves or by others, and bringing them into the chain of circular economy; Internationalization -- reducing trade friction caused by export problems by learning advanced packaging industry research results of other countries.
In a word, the main trend of food packaging material development in the future is functionalization, environmental protection and simplification. Aseptic packaging uses high-tech and molecular materials, keeping fresh function will become the focus of food packaging technology development, non-toxic packaging materials will become safer, plastic packaging will gradually replace glass products; composite flexible packaging bags made of paper, aluminum foil, plastic film and other packaging materials will present high-grade and multi-functional. The acceleration of the pace of social life will make the fast food packaging face great development opportunities. Food industry is a sunrise industry in the 21st century. Food packaging materials are developing rapidly. The field of food packaging materials is bound to seize this business opportunity and grow stronger.
Dongguan Beite packaging materials Co., Ltd. - located in Dongguan City, the world's manufacturing city, is a subsidiary of Beite packaging (China) Co., Ltd., with a plant area of 6000 square meters.
