Recycling and prevention of paper packaging waste and environmental pollution Cartons, paper bags, paper drums and pulp molded products have become an important part of the modern packaging industry. Paper packaging containers are light in weight, easy to process, low in cost, easy to recycle, etc. Characteristics, widely used in transport packaging and system packaging.
The four pillars of the most promising green packaging modern packaging - paper, plastic, metal, glass. Among these four kinds of packaging materials, paper products have the fastest growth, paper and plastic are the cheapest, raw materials are widely available, and are not as fragile as glass, and they are not as heavy as iron and are easy to carry. Therefore, paper and plastic packaging are widely used in daily life.
The output of paper and paperboard is increasing year by year. Packaging paper and paperboard account for more than 50% of the total paper and paperboard output in the country. Per capita consumption of paper has become an important indicator of the economic development level and social civilization of a country.
Every year, such a large amount of paper and board are used for packaging, and a large amount of paper packaging waste will also be generated. How to use this waste has attracted more and more attention, both for the environment and for the use of resources. Recycling paper packaging waste has the following implications:
(1) The recycling of paper packaging waste can reduce the consumption of natural fiber raw material resources and solve the shortage of packaging resources. At the same time, it can save a lot of packaging raw materials and energy.
(2) The recycling of paper packaging wastes will greatly reduce production costs and achieve greater social and economic benefits.
(3) Recycling paper packaging waste is one of the important measures to reduce packaging pollution and protect the environment. Paper packaging production and discarded paper packaging waste often pollute the environment and cause public hazards.
The comprehensive utilization of paper packaging waste is the basic principle and important measure to prevent environmental pollution, and it is also the most active and effective method to solve the problem of packaging pollution. The recycling of packaging waste can be used to harm the environment. It not only protects the environment, prevents the effects of public hazards, but also solves the shortage of packaging resources.
The recycling of paper packaging waste should be actively carried out, the establishment of a recycling network should be strengthened, relevant policies such as resources, environmental protection, and prices should be formulated, quantitative assessment should be conducted using LCA technology, and ways to better improve the environment should be sought.
