Can Innovative Sustainable Packaging Reduce Our Toxic Environment?

Sustainable packaging design process is based on the concept of the environment and resources as the core material required. Specifically refer to the appropriate choice of green packaging materials, the use of green technology means for packing goods for structural modeling and aesthetic design.

1. Material elements

Material elements, including basic materials (paper materials, plastic materials, glass materials, metal materials, ceramic materials, composite wood materials and other materials, etc.) and auxiliary materials (adhesives, coatings and inks, etc.) two parts, is the material basis to achieve packaging three functions (protection, convenience and sales) .is directly related to the packaging of the overall function and economic costs of production and processing methods and packaging waste recycling and many other issues. 

To select green Packaging Design material should follow the following principles:

(1) Lightweight, thin, easily separated, high-performance packaging materials.

(2),Recyclable and renewable packaging materials- Recycle Paper Boxes .

(3)Edible packaging materials, like Compostable PP food contact liners- Custom Printed Poly-liner Bags and Ziplock Pouches .

(4) Biodegradable packaging materials.

(5)Use of natural resources developed and the natural Eco-packaging materials like Bamboo/Fiber Pulp Biodegradable Protective Cushions.

(6)Tried to use paper packaging.

2 . Packaging shape

Packaging shape is a major aspect of packaging design, packaging form including the size and shape of the display surface.. If the exterior design is reasonable, you can save packing material and reduce packaging costs, reduce environmental stress. In considering the shape of packaging design elements, priority should be to select those savings in raw material geometry. Variety of geometry, if the same volume, the minimum surface area of ​​spherical bodies; for prism, the cube’s surface area than the rectangular surface area is small; for the cylinder, the cylinder is higher when the diameter at the bottom of Park, The minimum surface area.

Excellent shape. packaging design should follow the following principles:

(1) With characteristics of the product itself, make full use of elements of the laws of formal beauty product appearance.

(2)Adapt to market demand, accurate market positioning, creating brand personality- choose Biodegradable (PLA) Ice Cream & Yogurt Containers.

(3To the “light, thin, short, small” to put an end to excessive packaging, exaggerated and useless packaging

(4) Draw inspiration from nature, using simulation techniques to design of innovative packaging.

(5) Take into account environmental and ergonomic factors-like the use of  Bamboo Organic Fabric Shopping Bags.

(6) Active use of new technology, new materials for modern packaging designs.

(7) To develop series packaging designs.

3 Technical elements

In order to truly achieve green packaging standards, relying solely on these points is imperfect, but also green packaging technology as a supplement. Here that the technical elements including packaging design equipment. Process. Energy and the use of technology. The so-called green technology, is able to reduce pollution, reduce consumption, pollution control technologies or improvement of the ecological system.  

Green packaging design technology elements include the following:.

(1)Processing equipment and the use of energy should be benefit for the environment, does not produce gas, liquid, light, heat, taste and so on. Process does not produce toxic and hazardous substances.

(2) To enhance the he study of packaging design of removable, so that consumers can easily remove packaging in accordance with environmental requirements.

(3)Additives to enhance the research and development of green, green ink
