Overpackaging wastes resources

Domestic goods used to be package-free. For a period of time, due to the poor quality of packaging, many export goods still compete with similar foreign goods, but they can only be sold at reduced prices or even spread over goods. With the advent of the market economy, many manufacturers have begun to pay attention to packaging, which is certainly desirable. However, everything should always have a degree. Now many of our goods are overpacked. The hawkers who have collected waste products have said that it is most profitable to collect waste from shopping malls and office buildings because the goods thrown away here are particularly packed.
The most direct hazard of packaging is that these packaging products that have no practical use are eventually thrown into the garbage cans and become an important source of increasing domestic waste. According to statistics from the sanitation department: Of the nearly 3 million tons of garbage produced in Beijing each year, about 830,000 tons of various goods are packaged, of which 600,000 tons are over-reducible packaging. These overpacks have wasted limited resources, increased the cost of waste disposal, and also seriously harmed the interests of consumers.
Domestic garbage is an important source of pollution that afflicts urban environmental governance. At present, the most effective treatment method for domestic garbage is to reduce, recycle, and recycle resources. Among them, reduction is at the top of governance, because only reducing the amount of garbage at the source can reduce the burden of subsequent governance and effectively control the waste problem. The opposition to excessive packaging is undoubtedly an important part of reduction. Some developed countries have strict restrictions on the degree of specification of goods packaging. This is why this is the reason.
Excessive packaging not only wastes but also wastes resources. The cartons used for packaging are taken from trees. According to statistics, the average annual production of shirts is 1.2 billion pieces, and the amount of paper used in the box is 240,000 tons, which is equivalent to cutting off 1.68 million thick trees at the mouth of the box, and packaging shirts are used. The carton is just a drop in the ocean. If you count the amount of paper used for packing all goods and the trees to be felled, it is undoubtedly an astronomical figure. It can be said that the more green the carton is used, the faster it will disappear. It takes more than 200 years for plastic products used for packaging to be absorbed by the soil. The pollution caused by these chemical wastes is very serious.
The reason why manufacturers are greed for extravagance and pursue packaging is to say that luxury packaging can open up high prices and bring excess profits. Many packaging costs even exceed the value of the product itself, like a pen with a few yuan, two loaded into a beautiful brocade satin packaging box, and then put on the name of a “couple penâ€, dare to bid 99 yuan. The name of the United States will last forever; the same moon cakes, bulk and loaded into a unique shape, colorful tin box, the price will be amazing. How much a moon cake can be worth, a few hundred dollars a box, the price of packaging far exceeds the moon cake itself.
Is this not "beautiful deception"? It is acknowledged that moderate packaging can help improve the quality of goods and prevent them from being damaged in the process of circulation, but fraudulent allegations of over-packaging regardless of variety and value. What is it worthwhile to deceive people with three-tiered and three-tiered things that are worthless, dress up fake and shoddy goods, and “get rid of the hustle and bustle�
In fact, many consumers are very much in favor of simple packaging of goods. It does not matter if you purchase goods for your own use or for family use. It does not matter if there is a beautiful package. If it is a gift, the package does need to be beautiful, but it should be modest. Because the most important thing is the internal quality of the product, the external packaging should be "icing on the cake" instead of "obtaining the master." For the vast majority of consumers, genuine, value for money, is still the most important criteria for the selection of goods.
In recent years, the people’s spiritual and material lives have gradually increased. More and more people are advocating green consumption. They do not use disposable plastic bags, use environmentally-friendly batteries, and do not purchase products that pollute the environment. Therefore, businesses must be in the green tide. To stand firm, we must cater to the psychological needs of consumers and reduce unnecessary packaging.
Restricting packaging is a worldwide issue. With the deterioration of the environment and people's needs, there is a wave of "green packaging" around the world. European governments have formulated packaging methods. The first to promote the recycling of packaging materials in Germany developed a "recycling economy law", Denmark took the lead in implementing the "green tax" system; many countries require manufacturers, importers and retailers to take responsibility for the recycling and remanufacturing of packaging materials; excessive packaging Articles are illegal in South Korea. In order to implement restrictions on the ratio and the number of layers of the goods, the Korean government will inspect the packaging of the goods, reward the streamlining of packaging, and impose fines on over-packaged goods.
Limiting excessive packaging through legislation is a common practice of some developed countries in the world today. In many countries, the law stipulates that packaging cannot be larger than 1/10 of the volume of the packaged goods, but the packaging industry in China does not have provisions in this regard. This contributes to a certain degree of hurricane over-packaging. In order to regulate and constrain the quality, material, and volume of commodity packaging, China should introduce a law that restricts excessive packaging as soon as possible to ensure that consumers buy genuine products.
