In order to raise awareness of environmental protection, many brands are more inclined to use environmentally friendly packaging boxes to package products. Using environmentally friendly packaging boxes is not only responsible for the environment, but also creates an environmentally friendly and responsible image for the brand, which is also one of the best ways to promote the brand to potential users. So, how do we determine whether the product packaging is environmentally friendly? We can judge by the following points.
1. Is the packaging material recyclable?
Most of the packaging boxes in the market are made of paper and plastic materials. We need to know whether the material components of the packaging are recyclable to measure whether it has an impact on the environment. For example: paper, glass, and metal are all recyclable, and the components of glass and metal packaging boxes are relatively simple. The plasticity of paper packaging boxes is very strong, and some other decorative materials are usually used, such as: ribbons, handles, etc. If these decorative materials are not recyclable, then it is necessary to ensure that they are easy to remove.
2. Is the packaging biodegradable?
Biodegradation means that materials can be decomposed in vivo through dissolution, enzymatic hydrolysis, and phagocytosis. Materials like paper and cotton typically decompose quickly within a few weeks. Ordinary plastics take the longest time to decompose and may take a long time to be decomposed. However, there are many paper boxes where plastic may be necessary, and degradable plastic can be used.
3. Is the packaging compostable?
Also known as composting. Refers to the biochemical process of using microorganisms that exist widely in nature to promote the conversion of degradable organic matter in solid waste into stable humus in a controlled manner. Composting is similar to biodegradation, but not all biodegradable materials can be used for composting. For example, degradable plastics cannot be used for composting, but only degrade plastics into elements that are not harmful to the environment.
4. Is the ink environmentally friendly?
Printing plays a very important role in packaging. The pigments or additives added to traditional printing inks contain a large amount of heavy metals such as lead and mercury, and harmful gases such as toluene and xylene will be volatilized during the drying process. Soybean ink is very environmentally friendly. It is mainly made of soybean oil. In addition to being environmentally friendly, its color is also better than ordinary ink.
Whether the packaging box is environmentally friendly should be judged comprehensively. From the above points, we can also judge whether our gift packaging box is environmentally friendly.
