Core tip: at present, China's packaging industry has basically reached the international advanced level, and has become one of the world's largest packaging countries, and the annual GDP has increased by an average of 20% in the past five years. With the rapid development of the material industry, many new packaging materials have emerged, which enrich the packaging types in China, and the packaging industry is showing a new development trend.

At present, China's packaging industry has reached the international advanced level and has become one of the world's largest packaging countries. In recent five years, the annual GDP has increased by an average of 20%. With the rapid development of the material industry, many new packaging materials have emerged, which enrich the packaging types in China, and the packaging industry is showing a new development trend.

According to the data provided by relevant national parties, the total output value of packaging industry in 2008 (excluding Hong Kong, Australia and Taiwan) reached 86billion yuan, equivalent to more than 126billion US dollars, and has become the second largest packaging country in the world. According to this development momentum, by 2010, the total output value of packaging industry in China will be fully sure to break through the RMB 12000billion mark. The output of paper packaging products in China has ranked the first in the world. Paper packaging products have basically met the packaging supporting needs of more than 500 million domestic social consumer goods retail sales and US $600billion of export goods.

And with the concept of low carbon environmental protection becoming the main theme of society, many fields are practicing low-carbon environmental protection, so is packaging materials. Many packaging materials that pollute the environment are fading out of our lives. Green packaging materials have become the development trend and future of packaging industry. There are many kinds of green packaging materials, which can be divided into four kinds: reusable and recycled packaging materials, edible packaging materials, degradable materials and paper materials.

The reuse of packaging materials mainly refers to the glass bottle packaging used to pack beer, beverage, etc., which can be used repeatedly. Recycled packaging materials mainly refer to plastic packaging materials, which can be made into recycled packaging containers after being disposed of by physical methods. After chemical treatment, recycled packaging products can be made. But the shortcomings of these two methods are that only reducing the pollution to the environment, and in the final treatment, we should face the problem of polluting the environment. Edible packaging materials are those packaging materials that can be eaten with food, such as ice cream, corn baking cups, etc.

It is reported that edible packaging film and fresh-keeping film have been developed successfully, and are entering the packaging market. It is believed that the two green packaging materials will have a greater utilization space and development prospects. Degradable green packaging materials refer to degradable plastic packaging. After the mission, the plastic can be degraded and reduced by itself in nature, and it has no pollution to the environment. Paper material refers to paper packaging materials. We know that paper itself is made of natural plant fiber. The packaging materials made with it naturally means that it is a green packaging material, and its recycling value is very high and the technology is mature.

With the development of green environmental protection concept, these four kinds of green packaging materials will be widely used in the packaging field, and become a new future in the packaging industry. They must play an indispensable role in the packaging field, and the market prospect is very broad. Green packaging materials, in order to make everyone live in the blue sky and water, lean their efforts, at the same time, these packaging materials are also constantly remind people, we are a low-carbon environmental protection of the real practitioners.
