As we all know, the prosperity of any industry will promote the rapid development of other industries. The barbaric growth of the e-commerce industry has driven the popularity of the logistics express industry, and the prosperity of the automotive industry has driven the demand for the oil industry. By the same token, the increase in sales in the food industry will naturally lead to an improvement in the food packaging industry.
For food, packaging not only acts as a container, but also guarantees quality and extends the sales period. In the past, packaging materials for the food industry were widely used in glass packaging, metal packaging, paper packaging, and plastic packaging.
Because glass packaging and metal packaging are costly and cumbersome compared to plastic packaging and paper packaging, most foods are paper or plastic in addition to special foods. However, in the days to come, food packaging materials may be increasingly limited to paper packaging.
With the improvement of the social and economic level and the continuous deepening of the level of civilization, the state and the government have paid more and more attention to environmental protection issues. In recent years, China has repeatedly introduced environmental protection policies, and local governments have successively promulgated laws and regulations, which has greatly deepened the impression of environmental awareness people's minds. People's demands for environmental protection have naturally risen.
According to the survey, the amount of plastics used in food packaging accounts for 1/4 of the total plastic production. In the supermarkets of all major shopping malls, plastic packaging foods abound. The plastic packaging used for puffed food and the plastic cover for instant noodles not only cause waste of resources caused by over-packaging, but also form many white garbage.
The amount of garbage produced by so many plastic packages is unpredictable and difficult to break down. Landfilled in the soil, it is difficult to rot, causing great harm to land resources and water resources, that is, using fire to incinerate, the gas generated will still pollute the air and harm people's health.
Therefore, at least in the case of high-end foods, plastic packaging will be used less and less in the future, and as a substitute, it will be paper packaging. Compared with glass packaging and metal packaging, paper packaging has lower cost, is easier to manufacture, and is lighter in weight and easy to process.
At the same time, compared with plastic packaging, paper packaging is easily degraded and can be recycled, with little impact on the environment. This has taken great advantage in the rise of the people's awareness of environmental protection, the global industry and economic system with the packaging revolution as the leading zero-package, simple packaging, green packaging.
In addition, paper packaging is moving towards the perspective of aesthetic improvement. More and more people find that paper-wrapped items are not only fashionable and beautiful, but also show a delicate and generous character. For example, flowers that have been plastically packaged in the past have been wrapped in paper in traditional festivals such as Valentine's Day or Qixi Festival in recent years, which not only bring out the beautiful and beautiful characteristics of flowers, but also reflect the high-level atmosphere.
In the food industry, in addition to foods such as fried foods and milk drinks that have been used in paper packaging, such as disposable lunch boxes, chocolates and other desserts are gradually expanding into paper packaging. It is foreseeable that in the near future, in the global environment calling for green packaging, the food packaging industry will usher in greater opportunities, and paper packaging will become a major trend in the food industry in the future.
If there is an opportunity, there will naturally be challenges.
Changes in food packaging will also bring about certain reforms in the enterprise. Industrial transformation, thinking transformation, method transformation and other issues will gradually be reflected in this wave of trends. How to find the blank spots of 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 that are worth pondering.
