Due to the continuous improvement of the environmental consciousness of the people, "green", "environmental protection" for people place more and more attention. Therefore, in the society appeared a fashionable topic: green environmental protection packing. Therefore, the designers have higher design for, that is, to let the packing of products to protect, and to reduce the pollution of the environment. Designers in the design process of design firmly seized the essential elements (packing material) and external factors (structure modeling, image, colour and words, etc.), consciously to give and to increase people's green environmental protection consciousness, promote the green environmental protection packing process.
Green environmental protection packing the internal factors
In the green environmental protection of thought advocated, the designer of green environmental protection packing inner elements-packaging materials have higher requirements. They follow the "5 R + 1 D" principle, the materials of the targeted choices:
1. Packing lightweight (per)
Refers to meet various functions in conditions, try to reduce the use of packaging materials. The current experts in corrugated cardboard strength test for that: if corrugated base paper quantitative increase 1 g/m2, cardboard box of quantitative can reduce 1 g/m2. Therefore, in corrugated cardboard production used in the process of this method can realize the lightweight package. Such as: bud light company USES Finland M-Real company the production of 185 g/m2 coating cardboard corrugated cardboard as the face of the paper, and it is a low quantitative, high strength (edge compressive strength, the degree of resistance), and it has good flimsy plate printing [encyclopedia micro bo] eligibility. Use the cardboard and carton, carton pre-printed technology gram weight is reduced by 30% and packaging costs by 20%, and the strength of the carton increased 10%, and printing effect also is greatly raised. This shows, packing material of lightweight for business place favour.
2. The material to be recovery (pressing)
It is to show the used packaging products, reuse, recycle and into the new packaging products. Right now, the material recovery technology problems wrapped has basically resolved, a single plastic products (PE, P, etc) of recycling also get breakthrough, but in some compound plastic recycling technology still has some problems. Such as: lu: su complex material because of superior surface finish, has the good quality of moisture, and block sex, oxidation resistance and printing sex, so is widely applied to food, medicine, etc on the packing of the products, but how to lu: su effective separation has been a puzzle. After continuous efforts, a new and high technology research institute to shenqu association for science and technology in henan province recently developed aluminium recycling waste packaging technology, make not easy recycling of waste lu: su packaging can separate plastic, and can made aluminum. The success of this technology to recycle and made an important step.
3. Reuse recycle materials ()
Refers to the use of all or part of packaging products for recycling, do not give up easily can use again packaging products, so as to reduce the production of packaging products. Since February 2003, epson up a joint stock limited company all the maintenance service stations use environmental protection packing and match with environmental protection distribution. Package is made of 100% compression recycled paper is made of a durable, not only, still can use again. Environmental protection packing distribution service is use the above materials to transport customers of repaired printers, when products sent to the guests hand after, this package again by delivery staff back to, in order to achieve before use. And, this company for large output packing machine adopts recycling, in accordance with the requirements of the customers will recycle. Packing time In order to facilitate recovery package, they will box of raw materials from the previous synthetic materials to a single raw materials (carton), do not only save the resources, and reduce the cost.
4. The material to be recycling (Recycle)

Refers to the use of packaging products for recycling and reprocessing, make its be used in different fields. Because of composite materials in recycling on renewable technology are a series of problems, companies began to use some by a single material made of, to favor the regeneration of packaging, to realize the circulation of the materials used. On the market at present already appeared a don't take high density polyethylene base of pure polyester water bottles, and can use pulp molding packaging instead of some traditional hard to degradation of plastic products. The United States, for example, a company developed a waste of recycle of used by the model of the new era.
5. Refused to use the ecological materials (Refuse)

Refers to refuse to use against ecological development or can cause disease, insect pest etc of the spread of packaging products. In the packaging materials, some developed countries as the importing prohibited or restricted some original packing material and section of the packing material recycles 60 made of packaging products (wooden cases, sack, etc.). Such as: in September 1998, the United States will require all from China, wood packaging and woodiness bedding materials must be through high temperature treatment, fumigation or preservative treatment, if failed to be refused to enter. January 1999, Canada also to imports from China used the woodiness packaging materials, strict control requirements must have been insect-resistant processing, and with China issued by the relevant aspects proof. To solve these problems, China adopted "honeycomb cardboard packaging technology", since it has light, strong, and just, and the advantages of stability in the country, open a wave "honeycomb cardboard" wave.

6. The material to be degradation (Degradable)

Is to point to to do not form, not permanent rubbish recycling packaging waste to corruption, and through the fertilizer to the purpose of the soil. Paper pulp molding products is a kind of typical multi-function biodegradable products, paper pulp molding matter have heat preservation, adiabatic and compressive advantages, paper pulp molding tray with excellent location buffer, permeability and preservation performance. Made of molded pulp, furthermore plants grow to port, to approve the whole after seedling transplanting outdoor, furthermore decay become fertilizer helps plants thrive. The paper pulp molding products by the consumers and businessmen's favor.
