Packaging Industry - Green Packaging (2)

3. Green packaging is one of the important ways to bypass new trade barriers. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has also formulated the corresponding standard ISO 14000, the “International Environmental Management Standard”. It contains 6 subsystems, mainly including:
1. Environmental Management System (EMS);
2. Environmental Auditing (EA);
3, environmental signs (EL);
4. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA);
5. Environmental Behavior Assessment (EPE);
6. Environmental Standards in Products (EAPS).
This is a strict and rigorous system that will bring immeasurable boost to the world's green projects. It will become an important non-tariff barrier and technical barrier in international trade. In July 1993, the European Community officially launched the European "Environmental Mark". At present, the EC's imported products must be applied to countries to obtain green marks. Products that do not have green marks must be restricted to entering the above countries. Green packaging helps break through the technical barriers that trade protectionists use to set up packaging.
4. Green packaging is one of the powerful means of international marketing. In modern merchandising, many marketers call packagiing the 5th P. The first four Ps are Price, Produce, Place, and Promotion. Packaging has become an important factor. With the emphasis on environmental protection, green packaging is increasingly important in marketing and is increasingly welcomed by consumers. The important content of the 21st century's green revolution is the "green packaging revolution" as an important weight for the new round of market competition. It is certain that green packaging products with a strong green atmosphere have strong vitality and competitiveness in the international market.
5, green packaging is conducive to the adjustment of the national industrial policy. “The Ninth Five-Year Development Plan of the National Packaging Industry and the Vision Development Objective of 2010” clearly stated that the development of the packaging industry should follow the principle of combining accelerated growth with the protection of the environment. While the packaging industry is developing rapidly, it is necessary to strengthen the protection of the environment and to avoid repeating the mistakes of the developed countries in terms of “pollution first and then governance”. To use modern new technology, from the packaging of raw and auxiliary materials, to packaging technology and machinery equipment, packaging waste management and disposal and supporting policies, regulations, taxes and distribution of all aspects of coordination, implementation of the "green packaging project." It is necessary to vigorously promote green packaging, replace traditional materials with high-performance materials, use advanced technologies to increase the reuse rate and recycling rate of packaging materials, form birch production scale, reduce costs, and enable it to have both good social effects and certain Economic benefits.
6. Green packaging is an important aspect of China's implementation of sustainable development strategies. The Fourth Session of the Eighth National People's Congress formally approved the implementation of China's "Ninth Five-Year Plan" and the long-term sustainable development strategy for 2010. Sustainable development theory is the theoretical basis of green marketing, and green packaging is an important part of effective means to achieve sustainable development. Since the reform and opening up, China’s rapid economic development has attracted worldwide attention. However, due to their relatively weak environmental awareness, the economic growth in many places has come at the expense of the environment or the predatory exploitation of resources, which has led to a deteriorating environment. Contamination from the packaging can be seen everywhere. The green packaging has the characteristics of no pollution, reusability, and resource conservation, and fully meets this strategic requirement. The green packaging strategy of reducing packaging, reusing packaging, and recycling packaging was put on the agenda.
Fourth, the green packaging system and the implementation of the implementation of green packaging is the need to protect the environment, but also to increase China's packaging industry's development potential and improve competitiveness. The content of green packaging along with the progress of science and technology, the development of packaging can have new connotations. From this we can see that green packaging is a systematic project and it is a reflection of the packaging industry's responsibility for the future. Discussing the composition of the packaging system has its practical significance. (To be continued)
