"Green packaging": the trend of electronic products

How to save the limited resources on the earth, carries on the reasonable use is a problem of great concern in recent years in the world. Now the initial solution to this problem in some developed countries have formed specific laws and regulations, early next year, China will formally promulgated the "electronic information products pollution control management measures", which involves plastic packaging and packaging waste clause. This is our country in order to strengthen the electronic information products to produce environmental pollution supervision and response to the EU's electronic information products of the two mandatory laws and regulations promulgated measures.

Environmental barriers blocking Chinese Enterprises

From August 13, 2004 onwards, the EU's "waste electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive" and "on the use of electronic and electrical equipment in the prohibition of the use of certain Hazardous Substances Directive" (WEEE and ROHS directive) began to take effect. These two instructions require all placed on the EU market of electrical and electronic equipment must meet the requirements of EU environmental standards, banned or restricted regulations on some of our commonly used electrical plastic additives made, and require manufacturers and dealers for recycling or recovery cost allocation for the sale of products. One of the purposes of these regulations is to save the limited resources to achieve green packaging'. The spearhead of the regulations led to the use of a wide range of electronic information product packaging, especially the recovery of difficult plastic packaging. The EU is an important market for China's household electrical appliances exports, after the eastward expansion of the original 15 countries increased to the 25 countries, China's electronic information products export market to further enhance the influence. Two orders not only affect the overall production of electronic information products manufacturers, but also related to the supply of raw materials and plastic packaging processing upstream and downstream enterprises, is a very typical green barriers.

The European Union this one, developed countries such as USA and Japan, have followed suit, making similar laws and regulations, although these laws and regulations have not been announced, but once promulgated and implemented, on China's electronic information product exports will undoubtedly cause immeasurable influence. This is a solid green trade barrier, for many are electronic information products in plastic packaging and plastic parts, so enterprises must take measures related to plastic as soon as possible, in order to protect China's exports of electronic products.

Green packaging has become a worldwide trend

With the rapid development of China's electronic information industry, China has become the world's largest manufacturing and export of electronic information products. 2003, China's exports of electronic information products to achieve $142 billion 100 million, accounting for 20% of the world's total trade of electronic information products. With the development of electronic information industry, the rapid development of packaging industry, the development trend of green environmental protection products, also makes the packaging of electronic information products more and more attention.

But for a long time, our product package exists excessive packaging, pollutants exceed the standard, recovery difficulties and other issues, and the forthcoming management approach will be the solution to these problems is a very good role, urged manufacturers to use appropriate packaging in the factory, and to promote the application of material degradation and easy recovery. At present, Changhong, Haier and other Chinese brands of household electrical appliance manufacturing enterprise product packaging has been reduced, lightweight and green direction, the new, energy saving, environmentally friendly packaging materials demand continues to grow.

Green packaging promotion difficulties in China

China's export of electronic information products, in the face of countries have set up the trend of green trade barriers, domestic enterprises to improve their own quality, rather than the transfer of export markets. Because in the long run, green environmental protection is the ultimate goal of each country. At present, the application of pulp molded products is only about 2% of the packaging materials of electronic information products, and the material of paper honeycomb board is less than 3%. Electronic information products are used in a large number of wooden pallets, inner packaging cushion is still not easy to recycle EPS (expanded polystyrene) to play a leading role in the slow progress of alternative work. The TV picture tube, two product packaging as an example, according to incomplete statistics, the annual disposable wooden tray consumes 100 thousand cubic meters of wood, and the performance of plastic pallets material, can be used repeatedly, easy to recycle, but play a supporting role in the electronic information products in the transportation, slow.

For the application of China's environmental protection plastic packaging products slow phenomenon, the industry believes that the first is environmental protection packaging in China's policies and regulations are not perfect, there is no mandatory constraints, environmental protection packaging materials production enterprises and application units for spontaneous behavior, resulting in some enterprises choose packaging products with low price, resulting in packaging pollution. The majority of environmental protection packaging materials production enterprises are small scale, low technical level, weak ability of independent innovation, and low management level. Therefore, the existence of environmental protection packaging poor quality, high cost and other issues, far from meeting the demand for electronic information product packaging. These restrict the popularization and application of environmentally friendly packaging materials and the healthy development of the industry.

Green packaging in order to break trade barriers

To speed up the process of China's electronic information products green packaging, first of all, in order to speed up the formulation and improvement of green packaging technical standards and laws and regulations under the guidance of macroeconomic regulation and control policy. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the propaganda, so that the whole society to establish awareness of environmental protection, to promote green packaging industry behavior into the standardization, legalization. Followed by the realization of green packaging industry, to change the current business for their own camp, it is difficult on the scale of the situation, to jointly solve the green packaging industry
