Application of Low Carbon Materials in Packaging

Abstract

Excessive packaging waste and toxic contaminating material applications have imposed severe impairs on human living environment. It has become the focus of low carbon packaging material study as how to apply low carbon and environmental material and bring packaging material back to its original nature. This paper analyzes the current situation and existing problems of packaging materials, and makes a study on low carbon material application in wine, tea and soft drink products based on discussions of original ecological simple packaging materials, sustainable and reusable packing materials as well as biomimetic packing materials in view of low carbon application. In view of the strategy of sustainable development, development in low carbon and environmental material and exploration of new and improved materials are of great significance to green packaging progress.
