Green packaging- the future of packaging design

With the development of world economy, how to protect resources and the environment to create a good living and development space, is to implement the basic strategy of sustainable economic global benign development. Green looks forward to truly become the exotic color of the 21st century, green packaging is truly the future of packaging design. The green packaging is not only a revolution the packaging design facing itself, it is about our human survival derivatives. Green packaging design brings more challenges together with more opportunities.

According to research that the plastic packaging in China at present annual output of more than 3 million tons, which accounted for 30% of disposable plastic packaging difficult to recycle. China produced annually about 16 million tons of waste, including plastic packaging products, waste up to one million tons per year, a variety of plastic packaging for candy and food, as well as all kinds of plastic bags. According to experts, these white trash on the surface for quite long time and will not disappear.

The formulation and initiatives of green design and green packaging can be described as the reassuring message of the field, should become a reality and the future direction of development of civilization. In addition to using the green flag, the development of green, eco performance packaging materials, is the most substantial initiatives. Solve the green packaging from the development of packaging materials is an important way to ensure one of the factors in the field of sustainable development. In addition, the aspects of packaging design accuracy and reasonableness of the selection of materials, combined with sound ideas, can also play a pivotal role in the development of green packaging.

During packaging design, in addition to selection of easily degradable return to natural materials, to save packaging material is another way. If a packaging over-emphasis on its structure, the layers of wrapping paper, packaging boxes, intended to enhance the packaging of goods of high-grade, although the decoration technique, beautiful, high design quality, but because of the waste materials, and are not worthy of advocacy. If the design of the packaging, clever and lively, beautifully produced, and to enhance its value to the collection, creating the opportunity to re-use, this could offer a design trend should be promoted.

In addition, the language should be more emphasis on green packaging atmosphere and to promote environmental awareness message, showing patterns, product name, color, text, it spread to form a main design stream. In the design moment appreciate the harmony of design and production, production and consumption of understanding life and ecological harmony. Design, from material selection, structure and function of the manufacturing process, packaging, product use and waste disposal aspects to consider a full range of resource use and environmental impact and solutions. In the design process, runs through the principle of conservation, as far as possible to reduce energy consumption, ease of dis-assembly, materials and components can be recycled.
