Packaging and Environmental Protection (2)

First, strengthen environmental protection propaganda and education for packaging We only have one planet in our life. To protect the environment of human life and prevent environmental degradation is an obligation that our citizens should fulfill. As a packaging worker and consumer, it is more important to understand the degree of pollution of packaging waste to the environment, and the significance of recycling and recycling of packaging waste and used recycling. To enable citizens to consciously classify and store packaged waste products, and understand the environmental protection requirements for packaging. The environmental protection requirements for packaging include the following aspects:
(1) Improve the function of packaging materials, reduce the amount of packaging materials, and reduce the amount of packaging waste.
(2) After use, the packaging container is reduced in volume by folding and pressurization, reducing the transportation costs for recycling and increasing the recovery capacity.
(3) If the packaging container is composed of multiple materials, it can be separated into single-component materials after use so as to be recycled.
(4) Packaging containers can be recycled.
(5) Packing waste, if treated by burning, should have low thermal effect and no harmful gas.
(6) Packaging waste can be decomposed under natural environmental conditions to reduce the burden on the environment.
When the public understands the impact of packaging on the environment, the “white pollution” will be reduced accordingly. Perhaps everyone will revert to the vegetable basket and reduce the use of plastic bags.
Second, improve packaging design in packaging production, save packaging materials, reduce packaging costs With the development of society and technological progress, the development prospects of the packaging industry is very broad. This means that in the future we will have more and more packaging waste in our living space. We must not only devote efforts to the disposal of used packaging waste, but also must control it during the production of packaging. That is, new technologies and new processes are used in the production process to minimize the use of packaging materials and avoid excessive packaging. In recent years, the thickness of tinplate used in European cans and beverage cans is only 0.14-0.13mm, which has reached the limit of the thickness that steel companies can supply. Whether it is metal packaging, paper and its product packaging, glass packaging, plastic packaging, etc., are actively in the direction of thin and lightweight development. In addition, in order to reduce the material costs of packaging waste and packaging, all walks of life are constantly exploring new development paths. Such as compressed foods, concentrated detergents, etc., can reduce the packaging costs to a less extent; the current multi-functional packaging, packaging into display racks, storage cabinets, toys and production supplies, to achieve the packaging and reuse purpose.
The use of soft hardware is also an important way to save resources and reduce pollution. For example, in Qingdao, the use of plastic bags for beer, its sales in Qingdao is much greater than the sales of bottled beer in Qingdao, but its packaging cost is only one-tenth the cost of glass beer bottles, or even lower; Xi'an Rongshi Group Paper aluminum-plastic composite cans contain beverages and other foods, the packaging cost is only one-third or one-fourth the cost of tinplate cans, there are many paint plants using composite cans for paint, its packaging costs are also much higher than the cost of metal cans Big reduction.
Therefore, saving packaging materials and reducing packaging costs not only solve the problem of saving non-renewable resources and energy consumption, but also reduce the energy consumption needed to convert raw materials.
III. Recycling and recycling of packaging waste Recycling of packaging waste Recycling of recycled packaging waste Recycling and recycling Recycling is a specialized industry in foreign countries, but in China, due to the late start, and the current recycling volume of packaging is not satisfactory. . If, in accordance with the requirements of environmental protection laws and regulations, waste emissions will be reduced by 10-15% per year within five years, we still need to make efforts in the following areas.
(1) Formulate relevant laws and regulations for the recycling and utilization of packaging waste, strengthen the legal awareness of the recycling of packaging waste, and improve the recycling rate of packaging waste in China.
(2) Establish a network organization for household packaging waste recycling so that each family can put the packaging waste into categories. Of course, in this way, each household must have 3-4 waste bins. If possible, several classified music bins can also be set up at each building so that residents can sort the packaging waste into music bins.
(3) Establish and improve the recycling of packaging waste.
The recycling of packaging waste is a large system project. It needs a huge waste acquisition team and a sorting team for used goods. Of course, these jobs need to be carried out during the acquisition process. The classified packaging waste products are classified, and the products that can be reused are cleaned, sterilized, marked, and sold to the product packager. Such as beer bottles, beverage bottles, cans and other kinds of glass bottles, plastic turnover boxes and other packaging items; for some containers can be restored after the use of repair, such as steel drums, cans, cans, boxes and other packaging items; Reclassify packaging waste that can no longer be reused. China has a mature waste paper recycling deinking and recycling papermaking technology, and the economic benefits are also good, but the waste paper recycling rate is too low, affecting its normal production. Secondly, China still has the mature technology of using waste plastics to produce gasoline, diesel, etc., but it is only because there is not enough recycling of used products and it cannot be widely applied. For the waste materials that are currently difficult to recycle and use, the method of burning and recovering thermal energy can be used.
The most helpless way to dispose of waste is to fill the pit. This is the easiest way to handle it. However, the burial method requires better degradation of the waste, and burying not only takes up a large amount of land, pollutes the environment, but even pollutes the groundwater source, and the cost is high.
If the recycling of packaging waste is managed by an independent organization, it will not only solve the employment problem of a large part of the population, but it will also eliminate many of the fake, fake, fake and inferior products that are exquisitely packaged and use unqualified beer bottles. The accident that caused the explosion of the beer bottle occurred.
To really do this work, we must still solve the following points:
1. The concept of environmental protection among citizens is still relatively weak.
2. The laws on environmental protection related to waste disposal are still not sound.
3, garbage disposal equipment and technology are still relatively backward and lacking.
4. Environmental protection facilities in the living area are still relatively backward, and management cannot keep up.
The above situation has seriously affected the development process of China's environmental protection undertakings. We also have a long way to go in this business, but we still have great hope. Because our citizens have already awakened, our environmental protection work has begun and our efforts have already paid off. The top priority is to establish and improve relevant laws and regulations. Only with the support of the law, we have a better social environment to carry out our series of work. This is the basis for the success of our environmental protection business.
