Environmental Protection of Exported Products (I)

The developed countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, Germany, Japan, and France have all formulated packaging policies and policies, and some countries have implemented the “environmental protection mark” system to strengthen the environmental protection awareness of manufacturers, importers, and retailers; Therefore, when Chinese exporters choose packaging materials, packaging technology, packaging machinery and packaging service agencies, they must start from environmental protection and improve their products' competitiveness in overseas markets.
First, environmental packaging requirements Environmental packaging requirements, the packaging of goods from the selection of raw materials, development, processing, use and recycling of all the processes used must meet the requirements of harmless, non-polluting and environmental protection.
Environmental packaging, also known as green packaging. Packaging is the beautification of products, and the concept of “green” makes this beautification process more environmentally friendly. International calls for protecting the environment, protecting the earth, and saving resources have become increasingly demanding, and overseas markets have increasingly stringent requirements for the packaging of foreign trade products.
Environmental packaging is reflected in:
1, is the province of materials, the least waste, and save energy;
2, is easy to recycle;
3, is the packaging of waste material, no longer produce secondary pollution;
4, is environmentally friendly packaging materials can be self-decomposition, will not pollute the environment.
Therefore, the selection of environmentally friendly packaging materials should reflect the basic principles of harmless, non-polluting and renewable.
Environmental packaging can not only change the image of Chinese export products in overseas developed markets, but also can improve its competitiveness more effectively.
Second, environmental protection packaging will become the mainstream of the market. The basis of environmental protection is ISO14000. Most countries use this as a standard to promote environmentally friendly packaging. The ISO14000 series expressly stipulates that any internationally-purchased product (packaging) shall be subject to environmental certification and ecological assessment (LCA), and shall use the environmental label. Since 1999, ISO has implemented a green “environmental sign” to push the green revolution of product packaging to a new level.
China's export enterprises have comprehensively promoted environmental protection packaging. Its significance is not only to reduce environmental pollution, but also to be a pass for companies to enter the international market. Whoever has easy-to-recover packaging will be able to seize the market. Whoever has no recycling mark/packaged environmental label on the packaging will have difficulty accessing the world market.
Third, the use of environmentally friendly packaging materials Environmental packaging has a clear definition of the recycling of packaging materials: repeated renewable packaging materials, edible packaging materials, soluble materials and natural paper materials.
Recyclable and environmentally friendly packaging materials are divided into:
1. Paper loading categories: Corrugated cardboard boxes, cardboard boxes, cardboard drums, high-grade cartons, pulp molded products and trays;
2, wooden packaging categories: ordinary wooden boxes, frame wooden boxes, plywood boxes, fiberboard boxes, plywood barrels, fiberboard barrels, transport packaging wooden pallets, etc.; (to be continued)
