Environment - friendly Packaging: The Sustainable Development Path of the Packaging Industry

In the current context of the increasingly enhanced global environmental awareness, the packaging industry is undergoing a profound transformation,

and environment - friendly packaging has gradually become the core trend in the industry's development.

The core of environment - friendly packaging lies in the selection of materials. Degradable materials, such as polylactic acid (PLA), are derived from renewable resources like cornstarch. 

In the natural environment, they can decompose into carbon dioxide and water in a relatively short period, causing almost no pollution to the environment.

In addition, paper packaging has also gained new vitality in the environmental protection wave. By using paper made from recycled fibers and wood from sustainably managed forests,

it not only reduces the dependence on virgin wood but also makes paper packaging easy to recycle and reuse.

From the design perspective, environment - friendly packaging emphasizes simple design. Reducing unnecessary packaging layers and decorations cuts down the amount of materials used.

For example, some cosmetic brands have abandoned the complicated design of cardboard boxes within boxes and instead use simple paper labels directly attached to the bottle body,

which is both beautiful and environmentally friendly. Meanwhile, the optimization of packaging structure is also of great significance.

Reasonably designing the shape and size of packaging can improve transportation efficiency and reduce space waste during transportation, thereby reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.
