Environmentally friendly packaging materials generally include reusable and renewable packaging materials, edible packaging materials, degradable materials and natural paper materials. Environmentally friendly packaging is embodied in the use of materials, minimal waste and energy saving, easy to recycle and reuse, and packaging waste does not cause secondary pollution. Therefore, the selection of environmentally friendly packaging materials should comply with the basic principles of harmlessness, pollution-free, and renewable use. Although pure natural environmentally friendly packaging materials are pollution-free, they have high commercial costs and are also a serious waste of earth resources. Composite environmentally friendly materials will become the mainstream of environmentally friendly packaging in the future because of their low cost, non-polluting, easy recycling and other characteristics.
As the European Union, the United States, Canada and other countries restrict Chinese export goods from using wood packaging to enter the country's market, the development of substitute wood packaging materials is becoming more and more urgent, which has also driven the development and production of substitute wood packaging materials in the Chinese packaging industry.
