Cushioning packaging materials belong to a short life cycle, "used and thrown" disposable packaging, can be turned into garbage in an instant, the negative impact on the environment is obvious. Green cushioning packaging materials is an inevitable trend in the development of cushioning packaging materials. Reducing environmental pollution, protecting the ecological environment, choosing green cushioning packaging materials and designing green packaging products are the fundamental measures to maintain the competitive advantage of packaging enterprises and win the market.

Present Situation and Development Prospect of Green Cushioning Packaging Materials

The State Technical Supervision Bureau has also formulated a standard for the selection, processing and application of green packaging materials, including five products: pulp, cardboard coating, degradable plastics, starch and plant fibers.

Present Situation and Development Prospect of Green Cushioning Packaging Materials

Green packaging material GPM(Green Package Mate2rial) is the premise of green packaging design. Although people have begun to realize the impact of material selection on the environment, from the perspective of preventing pollution and protecting the environment, the current material selection is a temporary measure to treat the symptoms.

Present Situation and Development Prospect of Green Cushioning Packaging Materials

Currently widely used materials, according to the requirements of environmental awareness, there are problems of one kind or another. For example, foam plastics for cushioning packaging enter rivers and oceans to cause pollution and endanger marine life, and incineration of packaging waste, especially plastics, will pollute the air and aggravate the greenhouse effect. Only by choosing green packaging materials can we fundamentally solve the coordination between products and the environment from the selection of materials.

Shredded Paper

Present Situation and Development Prospect of Green Cushioning Packaging Materials

Shredded paper, such as newsprint, wax paper or cellophane, is an economical and readily available cushioning material. It is affected by water, is due to the siphon effect and can retain moisture. It does not prevent the article from sinking excessively into contact with the container, so it is only suitable for small and light articles. Shredded paper is easy to burn and may ignite spontaneously under certain conditions.

crepe paper

Present Situation and Development Prospect of Green Cushioning Packaging Materials

Crepe paper is an economical and easy to get cushioning material, which is characterized by stable surface performance, not easy to produce dust, easy processing, good plasticity, its cushioning effect is mainly achieved by extrusion crepe paper, can provide good cushioning effect for light interior products.
