Problems in the Printing of Wood Materials and Analysis of Countermeasures

China is a country with a lack of forest resources. Due to the rapid development of the national economy, the sustainable development of forest resources and the contradiction between the supply and demand of wood products are becoming increasingly acute. The forest industry has to be in a situation of over-death for a long time, resulting in the exhaustion of recoverable resources and the use of wood products. The packaging industry is also in a very embarrassing position. Under such circumstances, how can we fundamentally solve these problems, achieve the green packaging of wood products and implement the scientific concept of development, and promote the sustainable development of China's resources? The author only discusses the packaging of wooden products as follows.

1. Wooden materials are natural green packaging materials

First of all, wood packaging has its unique advantages. Wood is recognized as a renewable resource in the world today, and it is the oldest packaging material in history. Second, wood processing pollution is small and has good environmental coordination. The amount of carbon dioxide emitted from the processing process can illustrate this point. The packaging of wood products has very good environmental protection characteristics. Also, compared with other materials, wood processing energy consumption is minimal. In addition, wood has pleasant visual, tactile, olfactory, and humidity-control properties. It is a good indoor environment material and life tool material. In particular, paper products that use wood as the main raw material have good printability and excellent ease. Folding performance, light weight, easy to recycle, is the most widely used material in the packaging industry.

Apart from synthetic materials such as plastics and rubbers, of all natural renewable materials, only wood itself is not only environmentally friendly material, but also its unique green packaging performance. Therefore, wood packaging materials are the most widely used green packaging materials in the world. one.

2, the status of the application of wooden packaging

In recent years, China’s economic development has been rapid, with almost every year increasing at a rate of 9%. At the same time, various resources are also consumed, and wood is one of them. As we all know, China's timber resources are extremely scarce. According to the trend analysis of timber consumption over the years, the average annual domestic timber consumption has reached 30,000-300 million m3, reached 370 million m3 in 2005, and will reach 460 million m3 in 2015. According to the demand forecast data, the minimum gap between the supply and demand of wood in the future (2005~2015) will be 120-170 million m3. Therefore, a large amount of wood needs to be imported every year to make up for the huge gap between supply and demand. However, in China's 300 million m3 consumed each year, almost one-tenth of the wood is used for various product packaging. For example, paper packaging, China's annual consumption of paper packaging products is about 20 million tons, of which wood pulp as the main raw material accounts for about 40%, nearly 8 million tons, consumes more than 20 million m3 of pure commercial materials, if these timber upright That is a vast forest.

One of the serious wood packaging is the once-a-year moon cake box "war." According to relevant statistics, China’s monthly packaging costs for moon cake boxes are as much as 2.5 billion yuan, moon cake box packaging costs account for more than one-third of the total cost of moon cake production, and waste of wood resources reaches 80,000 m3. China's packaging standards are a serious phenomenon of excessive packaging.

In addition, paper packaging in everyday life abounds, such as various cigarette cases, wine boxes, hat boxes, shoe boxes, toothpaste boxes, shirt boxes, food boxes, gift boxes, and a large number of transport cartons. However, the fate of these well-textured and aesthetically pleasing paper packages is the same. That is, they are discarded, and most of the processing results are incinerated. Only about 20% of waste paper packaging discards have been recovered.

Solid wood packaging has been the main transportation and packaging material for large and medium-sized equipment precision instruments and some glass ceramic products in China. Most of these solid wood products were discarded after they were dismantled by consumers.

The main problems in the packaging of wood products in China are as follows: 1 The country lacks overall macro-control and specific laws and regulations to restrict enterprises and consumers; 2 It lacks specific and effective resource utilization and recycling measures; 3 The company has a short-sighted outlook and pursues the current interest phenomenon. Seriously; 4 Consumers lack of green awareness and correct consumer attitudes. The following discusses solutions to these problems and measures.

3, to solve the problems of wood packaging and methods

3.1 Implementation of Legal Regulation by the State

From the point of view of the promotion of green packaging in the world, the legal regulation of green packaging is indispensable and fruitful. However, the existing laws of our country do not perfectly regulate the legal regulation of green packaging, and it is necessary to learn from foreign experience. In many foreign countries, laws and regulations restricting over-packaging and encouraging the development of green packaging have been developed. For example, Germany, which first advocated the recycling of packaging materials, has formulated the “Circular Economy Law” and Denmark has taken the lead in implementing the “Green Tax” system.

Relevant departments in our country must formulate measures to strengthen management and seize it from the source, so that the content of the product itself and the external form of packaging become a proper combination, not a flashy propaganda. It is proposed to formulate the "Regulations on Commodity Packaging", promote rational packaging, prohibit excessive packaging, encourage the development of green packaging, and strengthen the recycling of packaging waste. There must be a special system and specific targeted legal measures. In terms of packaging of wooden products, relevant laws and regulations should be introduced to avoid the enormous waste of resources caused by the transition packaging, and the only green resources in China should be maintained. To enable it to continue to develop for the benefit of future generations.

3.2 Establish and improve the recycling system of wood packaging waste in China

In Europe, developed countries such as Germany, the Netherlands, Italy and Spain, they specifically recycle wood packaging as a type of waste, most of which are recycled and recycled into pulp. After recycling in the Netherlands and other countries, after strict disinfection processing, more than 60% of non-food packaging is reused; the United States has strict regulations on the production and use of wood packaging, and all products that use wood packaging are always collected from wholesalers. Packaging processing fees; Any package that exceeds the volume of the product is fraudulent.

For our country, we should first establish appropriate laws and regulations, strengthen the country's macro-management, and make necessary interventions and adjustments to production companies. The existing "General Principles for the Handling and Utilization of Packaging Waste" is a very important basic standard in China's packaging standardization work. Although it is difficult for China to provide the recovery rate and quantification value proposed in the EU regulations or German regulations at this stage, it can be clearly stated that the principle and responsibility of the “whoever pollutes and who administers and whose packaging is responsible for the recovery and disposal of waste” are fulfilled. The consequences of responsibility. Make specific provisions for recyclable product packaging and containers, clarify the specific responsibilities of related parties, and specify the packaging waste recycling index and related specific recycling regulations and recycling targets. Figure 2 is the author's preliminary recovery model based on foreign recycling systems. If we can implement the reasonable use and recovery of wood packaging according to this model, the forest resources in China will no longer decay, and even will continue to grow steadily, so as to achieve the sustainable development of ecological resources.

3.3 Businesses must have the correct business concept

Whether it is the packaging of wood products or other materials, there is a great deal of excessive packaging phenomenon. The reason why excessive packaging is popular in some companies is that the fundamental reason lies in the interest-driven, such as gorgeous packaging can increase the added value of products, can play a certain promotional role. This short-sighted behavior is extremely detrimental to the healthy development of the company. Enterprises must have a clear understanding of the dangers of overpackaging, so as to actively change their business concepts and emerge from the misunderstanding of overpackaging.

(1) To establish a correct view of the quality of packaging. First, we must rationally design product packaging in order to increase the utilization of packaging materials, reduce waste, and conserve resources. We must select suitable raw materials and reduce the weight, quantity, and volume of packaging products. Second, we must rationalize the production process of packaging products, such as reducing the amount of waste generated in the process, increase labor productivity, reduce processing costs, etc., to avoid the packaging value exceeds the content value. Thirdly, the packaging products can generate new value. Through the recycling of the product packaging, new packaging materials can be formed or converted into other resources.

(2) Overpacking should be regarded as the enemy of corporate reputation. Under the conditions of market economy, corporate reputation is the life of an enterprise, but over-packaging can make a company's hard-built reputation system collapse. What consumers want to buy is mainly products, not packaging. Transition packaging has become a fraud in disguise.

(3) To establish a people-oriented concept of packaging. Products are for consumer use, so product packaging must take into account consumers' feelings and interests to suit consumer needs. Consumers' different preference for product packaging directly affects their purchasing behavior. In the aspect of product packaging's modeling, volume, weight, color, and pattern, they should strive to coordinate with consumers' individual psychology.

(4) To correctly understand the role of packaging in marketing. An important reason for over-packaging is that companies believe too much about packaging's marketing functions, and that packaging is good or bad. To a certain extent, it can also determine the competitiveness of products in the market. However, a large number of facts have proved that although excessive packaging can stimulate consumption to a certain extent, it can bring benefits to enterprises, but its life span will not be long. Only those with novel designs, strong attractiveness, low cost, and obvious use value or recycling The packaging of value is what customers are willing to buy.

3.4 guide consumers to establish a correct concept of consumption

(1) Guide consumers to rational consumption. The so-called rational consumption refers to the quality of goods, the quality of service, and the true degree of price. It is the primary condition for consumers to purchase goods. In real life, many people's consumer behaviors are largely ignored by the value of commodities attracted by the packaging of commodities. Therefore, consumers must learn to consume rationally, learn to judge the value of goods correctly, and not be fooled by fake and flashy packaging. It is necessary to improve the legal system and strict market access systems; it is necessary to crack down on fraudulent propaganda and over-packaging, and to protect the rights and interests of consumers.

(2) It is necessary to guide consumers to establish a green packaging concept of consumption to enhance environmental awareness and social responsibility. According to the statistical data of the sanitation department, among the nearly 3 million tons of garbage, the packaging of various commodities accounts for about 830,000 tons. Excessive packaging has become a non-negligible source of environmental pollution, and a huge waste of resources has also been formed. To solve this problem, consumers are urgently required to establish a green packaging concept of consumption, enhance environmental awareness and sense of social responsibility. The so-called green packaging concept of consumption, the core content of which is when consumers purchase goods, it is necessary to consider whether the packaging of goods is environmentally friendly, whether to save resources, and whether it is conducive to recycling and reuse. To completely solve the overpacking problem, consumers' own problems must be resolved.
