It is well known that the prosperity of any one industry will lead to the rapid development of other industries. The brutal growth of the e-commerce industry has led to the explosion of the logistics and express delivery industry, and the prosperity of the automobile industry has boosted the demand for the oil industry. Similarly, the food industry's increased sales will naturally lead to progress in the food packaging industry.
For food, packaging not only plays the role of a container, but also preserves quality and extends the selling period. In the past, the food industry packaging materials are widely used in glass packaging, metal packaging, paper packaging and plastic packaging.
Because of the high cost of glass and metal packaging compared to plastic and paper packaging, and because they are too bulky, most food products are packaged in paper or plastic packaging, except for special foods. In the future, however, food packaging materials may increasingly be limited to paper packaging.
With the improvement of the economic level of society and civilisation, the state and government are paying more and more attention to environmental issues. In recent years, China has repeatedly introduced environmental protection policies, local governments have also promulgated laws and regulations, making the impression of environmental awareness in people's minds is greatly deepened, people's requirements for environmental protection is naturally rising.
According to the survey, the amount of plastic in food packaging occupies a quarter of the total production of plastic, in major supermarkets, the use of plastic packaging food abounds. The plastic packaging used for puffed food and the plastic coverings used for instant noodles have not only resulted in a waste of resources due to excessive packaging, but also the formation of a lot of white waste.
The amount of waste generated by such a large amount of plastic packaging is incalculable and does not decompose easily. Landfilled in the soil, it is difficult to decompose and poses a great danger to land and water resources, and even if it is incinerated, the resulting gases still pollute the air and harm people's health.
Therefore, at least in the case of high-grade food, plastic packaging will be used less and less in the future, and paper packaging will be used instead. Compared to glass and metal packaging, paper packaging is cheaper, easier to produce and lighter in weight, making it easier to process.
At the same time, compared with plastic packaging, paper packaging is easy to degrade, can also be recycled, the impact on the environment is very small. This is a great advantage in the rising awareness of environmental protection and the rise of the global industrial and economic system with the packaging revolution spearheaded by the idea of zero packaging, simple packaging and green packaging.
In addition, paper packaging is moving into the perspective of people's improved aesthetics, and more and more people are finding that items packaged in paper are not only stylish and beautiful, but also reflect a refined and generous character. For example, in recent years, flowers that were previously packaged in plastic have been packaged in paper for traditional festivals such as Valentine's Day or Tanabata, which not only brings out the delicate and beautiful characteristics of the flowers, but also reflects a sense of high-end atmosphere and hierarchy.
In the food industry, in addition to food products such as fried food and milk drinks, which have already been packaged in paper, desserts such as disposable lunch boxes and chocolates are also gradually expanding into paper packaging. It is foreseeable that in the near future, in the global call for green packaging environment, the food packaging industry will usher in greater opportunities, paper packaging will become a major trend in the future food industry.
With opportunities, there will naturally be challenges.
Changes in food packaging will also bring about a certain reform of the enterprise. Industrial transformation, transformation of thinking, transformation of methods and other issues will be gradually reflected in this wave of trends. How to find the gaps in the industry, how to accelerate technological innovation, how to enhance service improvement and how to gain the upper hand in the industry are all challenges worthy of deep thought.
