Green Packaging Design Tips

The relevant professionals proposed six aspects for green packaging design:

1. Package designers should use green packaging materials and design long-life packaging materials as much as possible, which can greatly reduce the environmental pollution caused by discarded packaging.

2. Decrease packaging. In some developed countries, many supermarkets encourage consumers to use nylon shopping bags that can be used multiple times, and use less disposable plastic bags. Materials used in packaging design are minimized, unnecessary packaging is eliminated as much as possible, and simple packaging is promoted. To save resources.

3. Simplification of packaging materials. The materials used are as simple as possible and do not mix with different materials for recycling.

4. Detachable packaging design. Packagings that require a composite material structure should be designed as a detachable structure that facilitates recycling after disassembly.

5. Pay attention to the reuse of packaging materials. Use packaging that can be recycled, reused, and recycled to increase the life cycle of the package, thereby reducing packaging waste.

6. The packaging material is harmless. The European Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive provides for levels of heavy metals (lead, mercury, and chromium, etc.), such as lead levels less than 100 PPM. China should also stipulate in legislation the prohibition of the use or reduction of the use of certain packaging materials containing lead, mercury, tin and Other harmful components, and stipulate the permitted content of heavy metals.
