Adapt to environmental trends and policy requirements
Satisfy policies and regulations: With the global emphasis on environmental protection, countries have introduced a series of strict environmental policies and regulations, which have put forward clear requirements for the environmental performance of packaging materials. For example, the EU's Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive requires packaging materials to have environmental characteristics such as recyclability and degradability. Using environmentally friendly materials is an inevitable choice for packaging companies to comply with laws and regulations and avoid the risk of violations.
Following the trend of environmental protection: Consumers' awareness of environmental protection is constantly increasing, and they are increasingly inclined to choose products that use environmentally friendly packaging. According to relevant surveys, over 70% of consumers are willing to pay higher prices for products with environmentally friendly packaging. Using environmentally friendly materials for packaging can meet consumers' environmental demands and enhance the market competitiveness of products.
Reduced environmental impacts
Reduce resource consumption: Most environmentally friendly materials come from renewable resources, such as paper packaging materials made from wood. Through proper forest management, wood can achieve sustainable supply. In contrast, traditional plastic packaging materials rely on non renewable resources such as oil. Using environmentally friendly materials can help reduce dependence on limited resources and achieve sustainable use of resources.
Reduce waste pollution: Environmentally friendly materials have the characteristics of biodegradability and recyclability. For example, biodegradable plastics can decompose into harmless substances in the natural environment within a certain period of time, reducing the production of plastic waste. Recyclable materials such as glass, metal, etc. can be reprocessed and reused after recycling, reducing the pollution of waste to the environment and helping to achieve the reduction and resource utilization of packaging waste.
Promote the sustainable development of the packaging industry
Promoting technological innovation: The application of environmentally friendly materials drives the packaging industry to continuously innovate and develop new packaging materials, processes, and equipment. For example, the development of new environmentally friendly inks, water-based coatings and other technologies has improved the environmental performance and quality of packaging. These technological innovations not only contribute to environmental protection, but also enhance the overall technological level and competitiveness of the packaging industry.
Forming a green industry chain: The promotion and application of environmentally friendly materials have driven the development of upstream and downstream related industries, forming a green packaging industry chain. From raw material production, packaging processing to waste recycling and disposal, every link is developing towards environmental protection, promoting the sustainable development transformation of the entire packaging industry and creating new development opportunities and economic growth points for the industry.
Enhance corporate image and social responsibility
Establishing a good image: Enterprises use environmentally friendly materials for packaging, demonstrating their emphasis on environmental protection and active attitude towards fulfilling social responsibilities, which helps to establish a good corporate image and brand reputation. This positive image can enhance consumers' trust and recognition of the enterprise, attract more customers and investors, and lay a solid foundation for the long-term development of the enterprise.
Fulfilling social responsibility: In today's increasingly severe environmental problems, as an important part of society, enterprises have the responsibility to take environmental protection actions. The use of environmentally friendly materials is a concrete manifestation of corporate social responsibility, which helps to promote sustainable development of society and achieve coordinated progress in economy, environment, and society.
