4 key issues about 2 sustainable packaging paths

In general, most companies choose lightweight designs, such as soft packages, as part of their sustainable development strategy, because they can reduce material use, energy consumption, traffic load or even waste rate (if the utilization of recyclable materials is low, then the soft packaging can not be recycled. " The total waste rate is lower than that of recycled materials. For example, Happy Family brand has achieved great success in its flexible packaging design. From the audience's questions after the meeting, we should abandon the linear industry mode and develop to the circular economy mode.
Such
According to the definition of Ellen Mac Arthur Foundation, the circular economy is the "intentional recovery of the industrial economy, designed to rely on renewable energy, to minimize and ultimately eliminate the use of toxic chemicals, and to eliminate waste through elaborate designs." Compared with most of the current business models, this is essentially linear.
Such
Generally speaking, resources come from the environment, are made into products and are discarded at the end of their useful life, usually ending in the landfill. Sometimes the recirculation step involves a linear process. However, these steps can only delay the final processing cycle, but not completely prevent it.
Such
In terms of packaging language, we simplify it to a debate between recyclable and / or renewable packaging. The packaging of this generation is more efficient than that of the previous generation.
Such
Our petroleum based packaging infrastructure is not only perfect but efficient, but our material recovery infrastructure has been slowly catching up, and the non-traditional packaging materials (such as biopolymers) around the infrastructure are in its infancy. This may mean that more non renewable fossil resources are now likely to have to produce recycled or biologically based polymers rather than the production of conventional petroleum based alternatives. We know that we cannot rely on the current system indefinitely, because its relative efficiency depends on limited resources. However, the choice of recyclable or biologically based polymers may increase the burden of fossil fuels in the short term.
