Sustainable packaging

Green package materials include reuse, recycle, edible, degradable and natural materials. This kind of package use less materials, product less wastes and save energy, also they are easily reuse and recycle, therefore, this package can meet the demand of no pollution and no harm. Even though, natural materials have no harm, they need significant amount of investment. However, composite materials need lower cost, so that it better to choice this kind of material.

In Switzerland, sustainable packaging is famous. They think ecology is the home of human beings and other lives so that they follow the rule of “ecology first” to produce and transport. All packages use green materials to produce papers so that no trees would be cut. Most package use plant fiber which can resolve in nature and without adhesion agent, all package use papers’ interaction force. In package, there are no inks. Besides, it produces less green house gases.

However, though sustainable packaging plays an active role in sustainable environment, it needs high technology as well. Nowadays, it has not been developed but need more attention because it can minimize usage of plastic and greenhouse gas emission, thus, government and relevant organizations and researchers should make deep research about green packaging materials.
