Environmentally friendly packaging requires more responsibility and courage<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Pay_Attention_to_Flexible_Packaging\"><\/span>Why Pay Attention to Flexible Packaging?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As early as the 1990s, environmental organizations began to express concerns about the future trend of plastic pollution. The world&#8217;s attention is focused on plastic film because it is extremely harmful to the ecological environment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Landfill:<\/strong> Degradation cycle exceeds 200 years<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jungle abandonment<\/strong>: Easy to be eaten by animals and cause suffocation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ocean coverage<\/strong>: Causes seawater stratification and damages the marine ecology<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Floating in the air<\/strong>: Interfere with aircraft operations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the past 20 years, humans have achieved certain results in the recycling and incineration of plastic waste. However, when technology gradually solved the problem of &#8220;treatment&#8221;, the focus turned to another core &#8211; is flexible packaging production itself environmentally friendly?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"International_Environmental_Standards_What_Conditions_Should_a_Truly_Eco-Friendly_Enterprise_Have\"><\/span>International Environmental Standards: What Conditions Should a Truly Eco-Friendly Enterprise Have?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the international environmental audit standards of the past decade, a flexible packaging company can only be recognized as an environmentally friendly flexible packaging supplier if it meets the following dimensions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Minimum pollutant emissions<\/strong>: Reduce pollutant emissions during the production process through technical means.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Scientific treatment of waste<\/strong>: such as waste ink, waste gas, residues, etc. must be disposed of in a standardized manner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Carbon neutrality control target<\/strong>: strive to approach or achieve carbon neutrality.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sustainable raw material use<\/strong>: For example, green printing methods such as <strong>water-based ink packaging<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These requirements are not only a manifestation of responsibility but also the core criteria for <strong>sustainable packaging<\/strong> in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_Environmental_Protection_Difficult_to_Implement\"><\/span>Why is Environmental Protection Difficult to Implement?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is sad that some companies ignore the treatment of pollutants to reduce production costs. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Discarding fabrics containing solvents at random<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unclassified processing of slitting waste<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Waste ink and glue barrels are directly transported without sealing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Waste gas is not recycled or decomposed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not using water-based inks, but still relying on highly polluting solvent-based inks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such behavior not only violates environmental protection principles but also leads to rising costs for environmental protection companies, resulting in price erosion and the unfair phenomenon of &#8220;bad money driving out good money.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Standard_Practices_of_Truly_Eco-friendly_Packaging_Companies\"><\/span>Standard Practices of Truly Eco-friendly Packaging Companies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Volatile_Solvent_Treatment_VOCs\"><\/span>Volatile Solvent Treatment (VOCs)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">VOCs are the most hidden and difficult-to-control type of pollution, especially in the flexible packaging printing process. Common treatment methods are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adsorption_and_Decomposition\"><\/span>Adsorption and Decomposition<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use activated carbon to adsorb components such as ethyl acetate, and then decompose them with UV light. However, the by-product ozone is serious, and activated carbon is a hazardous waste, so the treatment requirements are high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Catalytic_Combustion\"><\/span>Catalytic Combustion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An advanced means of efficiently decomposing VOCs, but it consumes a lot of energy and requires high investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recycling_and_Reuse\"><\/span>Recycling and Reuse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recycling solvents through condensation and partitioning technology is environmentally friendly but has extremely high requirements for sealing and maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Water-based_Ink\"><\/span>Using Water-based Ink<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Water-based ink packaging greatly reduces VOCs emissions. Its volatility contains only a small amount of edible alcohol, which can almost save waste gas treatment and is the first choice for green printing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Machine_Wiping_Cloth\"><\/span>Machine Wiping Cloth<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The used cloth contains solvents and should be sealed and stored and handed over to qualified companies for treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cutting_Waste\"><\/span>Cutting Waste<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a recyclable plastic that can be reprocessed and reused by film manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ink_and_Glue_Containers\"><\/span>Ink and Glue Containers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The residual solvent in the container needs to be sealed and stored and cleaned and recycled by a hazardous waste treatment agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Burning_Debris\"><\/span>Burning Debris<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is mainly carbon dust, which is general industrial waste and can be treated by a garbage disposal station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Zhongjia_Packagings_Green_Commitment\"><\/span>Zhongjia Packaging&#8217;s Green Commitment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a water-based ink flexible packaging manufacturer dedicated to the global market, Zhongjia Packaging has always adhered to the concept of green manufacturing and responsible production:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2705 Fully adopt water-based ink to eliminate VOC emissions<br>\u2705 Establish an independent environmental management system and continue to approach the goal of carbon neutrality<br>\u2705 Pass ISO22000, WCA and other environmental and quality certifications<br>\u2705 Focus on exporting to 120+ countries, environmental compliance and trustworthy<br>\u2705 Promote the research and development and application of recycled material packaging and degradable materials<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We not only produce eco-friendly flexible packaging but also promote the environmental protection process of the industry with practical actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion_Environmentally_friendly_packaging_requires_more_responsibility_and_courage\"><\/span>Conclusion: Environmentally friendly packaging requires more responsibility and courage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The environmental protection road of flexible packaging is destined to be difficult.
