Experts call for the introduction of regulations on the prevalence of excessive packaging in enterprises

if general flexible packaging manufacturers want to curb the growing trend of excessive packaging, they must ensure the improvement of industrial policies and the government's supervision in place. Dong Jinshi, executive vice president of the International Food Packaging Association, said today on the full anniversary of the implementation of the standard "restricting commodities, Lilians is a joint venture between VC investment companies such as spring steel and royal DSM of the Netherlands, which requires excessive packaging of food and cosmetics". He suggested that relevant government departments should promote the promulgation of the regulations on restricting excessive packaging of goods as soon as possible, so that restricting excessive packaging will not only become a slogan, but also have laws to follow

excessive packaging is becoming more and more intense

today, a year ago, the standard of "food and cosmetics with restrictions on excessive packaging of goods" issued by the General Administration of quality supervision, inspection and quarantine and the National Standards Commission was officially implemented. The standard has made mandatory provisions on excessive packaging of food. The number of layers of food packaging shall not exceed 3, the void ratio of packaging shall not be greater than 60%, and the total cost of all packaging outside the initial packaging shall not exceed 20% of the sales price of goods, in order to prevent excessive packaging

according to the information provided by the International Food Packaging Association today, although some enterprises and consumers have realized that excessive packaging not only wastes resources, but also seriously pollutes the environment, some commodity producers still go their own way, making the wind of excessive packaging more and more intense

recently, the association found that some goods in shopping malls are still brightly packed. A bottle of wine is packed either in a thick paper shell or in a box made of exquisite wood; Biscuits, melon seeds, dried fruits, etc. are also basically loaded into cartons, iron boxes, plastic boxes; Even vegetables and fruits are wrapped tightly

may be harmful to health

luxury packaging that does not meet the specifications is still popular. The prices of these goods have also virtually doubled. A staff member of the association said

over packaging of goods is not only expensive, but also may seriously endanger human health. Experts take PVC packaging as an example, saying that moon cake holders made of PVC contain a lot of toxic and harmful substances. Moon cakes contain a lot of oil. These toxic and harmful substances dissolved in oil will be migrated to moon cakes, causing harm to human health

health products are not included in the standard specifications

how to really curb the trend of excessive packaging? Dong Jinshi believes that we should first ensure the improvement of industrial policies and the government's supervision in place

Dong Jinshi said that commodity packaging involves a wide range of fields. There is an over packaging phenomenon not only in the field of food and cosmetics, but also in other fields. The corrosion problem of the standard "requirements for food and cosmetics to restrict excessive packaging of goods" implemented last year is relatively serious. It only regulates relevant issues in the field of food and cosmetics, and does not involve drugs, health products and other fields, and the standard itself also needs to be improved. Moreover, up to now, the state has not issued policies and regulations to ensure the standardized operation of the industry

Dong Jinshi suggested that the standard should be improved as soon as possible, so that manufacturers can publicize the number of layers, porosity, cost price and other information of packaging to consumers when printing product packaging. Relevant government departments should promote the promulgation of the regulations on restricting excessive packaging of goods as soon as possible, so that there is a real law to restrict excessive packaging, and illegal enterprises can really be economically punished

he also reminded consumers to avoid buying goods with too gorgeous packaging when purchasing goods, and to help limit excessive packaging with healthy consumption choices
