Basic principles of green packaging products
The basic principles of green packaging products can be summarized as the 4R and 1D principles:
(1) Reduce: Reduce packaging materials and oppose excessive packaging. That is, under the premise of ensuring the functions of packaging, protection, transportation, storage and sales, the first factor to be considered in packaging is to minimize the total amount of materials used. Studies have found that the best packaging for the environment is the lightest packaging. When the recyclability of packaging conflicts with weight reduction, the latter is more beneficial to the environment.
(2) Reuse: Reusable packaging products that can be reused and not easily discarded. (3) Recycle: Recyclable and regenerable. That is, the discarded packaging products are recycled and reused.
(4) Recover: Obtain new value, that is, use incineration to obtain energy and fuel.
(5) Degradable: Degradable and decomposable, which is conducive to eliminating white pollution.
