Deepening the concept of environmental protection into food packaging materials
With the deepening of the concept of consumers'big health, people pay more and more attention to the natural nature of food raw materials, including whether the ingredients in the ingredient list are natural or not, whether they come from plants or not. Food enterprises follow the concept of "big health" and constantly replace product ingredients to develop natural food products. At the same time, some food giants have armed the natural nature of products to packaging materials, research and development of packaging materials, so that food natural, so that packaging food materials more natural! In the environment where environmental problems are prominent and natural resources are scarce, renewability will be the inevitable trend of food packaging materials. Today, let Xiaobian take you all to know what kind of vegetable renewable material food packaging has been developed and put into production?
Coca-Cola: Polyester Plastic Bottles Using Plant Materials
Coca-Cola ranks first in the global food and beverage industry in brand value. The status of the world beverage giant is beyond the expectation of other enterprises. However, in recent years, consumers'health consumption consciousness has made the sales of carbonated beverage-based Coca-Cola market continue to decline. The beverage giant has realized "health". Natural, environmental protection "these trend keywords. Coca-Cola began to take action from the sweet substitutes of food ingredients and the development of renewable beverage bottles.
At the Milan World Expo, Coca-Cola demonstrated the world's first polyester plastic bottle that uses plant materials completely. The packaging material of plant environmental protection bottles is made of completely recyclable plastic bottles using renewable plant materials using innovative technology.
Plant environmental protection bottle packaging materials not only meet consumer expectations for high-quality packaging materials, but also increase the advantage of using renewable materials. The packaging material has various sizes and can be used for packaging water, soda water, fruit juice and tea drinks, etc. Today, Coca-Cola uses sugarcane and waste from sugarcane production to produce environmental-friendly bottling materials for plants. Both materials meet the sustainability criteria set by Coca-Cola for identifying plant-based materials for environmental bottles. Guidelines include verifying whether environmental and social performance has been improved and whether adverse effects on food safety can be avoided.
Since the launch of polyester plastic bottles, Coca-Cola has sold more than 35 billion bottles of beverages packaged in current plant-friendly bottles in nearly 40 countries. The vegetable raw materials used to make packaging materials for plant environmental protection bottles are up to 30%. It is estimated that since its launch, the use of plant packaging materials to help reduce carbon dioxide emissions has amounted to more than 315,000 tonnes per year.
Lille Company: High Polyethylene Paper Packaging Contains 80% Plant Material
Lille Sweden is one of the world's largest suppliers of milk, juice, beverages and many other product packaging systems. It has many R&D patents on liquid packaging. The latest generation of paper packaging developed by Lile is made of high-polyethylene, which contains 80% of plant materials. Using renewable materials, defined as renewable resources, materials can be obtained from wood fibers of trees and sugarcane bio-based plastics. Such materials can play an important role in alleviating resource shortages and climate change. For utilization, the use of renewable packaging materials is not only conducive to the environment, but also can help their customers improve their competitiveness.
In the consumption environment with increasing environmental awareness, the advantages of food packaging materials with plant-based environmental protection materials will become more obvious. It will be more conducive to the promotion of products to incorporate environmental awareness into the added value of products. We look forward to more plant packaging materials on the market and vigorously promote them.
