The four major environmental issues involved in food packaging

With the rapid development of food packaging, environmental issues caused by packaging are also attracting more and more attention. As the use of packaging materials takes up a large amount of material, or the packaging material has contaminated the natural environment or harmed human health, green packaging has become an important part of green marketing. The environmental issues involved in product packaging mainly include the following:

(1) The increase in packaging waste has severely polluted the environment. Due to the extensive use of packaging materials, waste has increased. According to statistics, the annual production of packaging waste in OECD countries accounts for almost one third of all municipal solid waste. The increase in packaging waste has made its handling a major problem. In particular, some difficult-to-handle packaging materials cause serious environmental pollution. For example, chemical synthetic materials can pollute the atmosphere when they are burned as waste. Packings made of polystyrene, such as underground, will not decompose after years, and become a famous “white pollution” because they are difficult to handle.

(2) The packaging material consumes a lot of resources. The use of packaging materials consumes a lot of resources and even includes some scarce resources. According to statistics, the energy consumed for packaging production and use accounts for about 5% of the total energy consumption of developed countries. The use of ever-increasing packaging materials consumes a lot of metal, wood and other earth resources. It can be seen that the resources of the earth are becoming increasingly short of resources and packaging cannot escape its responsibility.

(3) Environmental problems in the packaging container structure. There are also sharply criticized environmental problems in the packaging container structure. For example, foods packaged in lead welded cans may cause food lead contamination; erupted propellants used in spray containers can damage the ozone layer; chemicals (dangerous goods, detergents, insecticides) There is no safety measure for the lid of the packaging container, etc., which may cause children to drink by mistake; excessive use of packaging containers or unnecessary multi-level excessive packaging to make the product more likely to attract consumers' attention causes material waste and consumer expenditure. The increase.

(4) Improper designation of packaging design affects the social environment and market environment. The design of a product's packaging design is an aspect of the environmental problem that often arises. For example, infringements of intellectual property rights, such as counterfeit designs, counterfeit trademarks, and counterfeit designs, frequently occur in packaging designs; fraudulent use is made of false indications (including product names, nutritional components, efficacy, country of origin, date of manufacture, and expiration date). Propaganda behaviors occur frequently; export product packaging design offends the religion, customs, habits, and taboos of importing countries, often causing disputes.
