Green cosmetics packaging materials

Green cosmetic packaging materials are cosmetic packaging materials that eco-friendly cosmetic packaging manufacturers produce, manufacture, use and recycle, are harmless to human health, have a good protective effect on the ecological environment, and are recycled and reused. To widely adopt green cosmetics packaging and develop green cosmetics packaging, people need to choose cosmetic packaging materials correctly. Therefore, green cosmetics packaging is essentially the greening of cosmetic packaging materials. The so-called green packaging material (green packaging material) refers to the process of production, use, scrapping and recycling, which can save resources and energy. After being discarded, it can be quickly degraded or reused naturally without disrupting the ecological balance, and its source Wide range of materials or material products with low energy consumption, easy recovery and high recycling rate. Commonly used green cosmetics packaging materials generally include biodegradable plastics and natural biomolecular materials.

The new green cosmetic packaging materials (degradable materials) that are researched and developed globally are all proposed for the "white pollution" that is difficult to deal with. Therefore, green cosmetics packaging materials from cosmetic packaging manufacturers can be roughly divided into three categories in accordance with environmental protection requirements and the ownership of the materials after use: First, materials that can be recycled, processed, and remanufactured. Including paper, cardboard materials, molded pulp materials, metal materials, glass materials, the usual linear polymer materials (plastics, fibers), and also degradable polymer materials. The second is materials that can be weathered and returned to nature.

Green cosmetics packaging management refers to the laws and regulations that regulate commodity cosmetic packaging and cosmetic packaging materials to meet the requirements of energy saving, easy recycling after use, easy natural decomposition, no pollution to the environment, protection of environmental resources and consumer health. The continuous overheated growth of the economies of various countries has led to the emergence of economic "bubbles", which in the 1990s triggered global overproduction and commodity surplus, which in turn triggered a global commodity price crisis, and led to an imbalance in trade imports and exports. The sharp decline in world trade has led to a sharp decline in world trade, which in turn has caused a global economic recession. In the face of such a global trade crisis, the countermeasures adopted by various countries are to expand domestic demand and to adopt trade protection measures, that is, to restrict imports and protect Home market.

At the same time, the global environmental crisis has triggered a global wave of environmental protection, and the concept of protecting the human living environment has been universally endorsed. The increase in people's environmental awareness is reflected in their consumption behavior, which is an increase in the consumption psychology of environmental protection, which has set off a wave of green consumption around the world. At present, green cosmetics packaging has been widely popular in countries all over the world. Many developed countries have formulated laws and regulations on green cosmetics packaging to strengthen the recycling and utilization of cosmetic packaging waste.

Reduction of cosmetic packaging. That is to say, the amount of cosmetic packaging should be reduced as much as possible under the condition of meeting the functions of protection, convenience, and sales.

Cosmetic packaging should be easy to reuse or easy to recycle. This is the most practical step in the development of green cosmetics packaging materials at this stage, and it is the most active waste recycling method. The currently used polyester beverage bottles, milk bottles, and glass beer bottles can be reused many times. What cannot be reused is decomposed as much as possible, melted and reshaped.

Cosmetic packaging waste can be degraded and decomposed, and does not form permanent garbage. The world is studying degradable plastics to solve the serious environmental problems caused by the current inability of plastics to degrade. The principle of degradation is to split, degrade and restore plastics in the natural environment through the action of microorganisms in the soil and water or through the action of ultraviolet rays in the sun, and ultimately re-enter the ecological environment in a non-toxic form and return to nature.

Cosmetic packaging materials should be harmless and non-toxic to humans and organisms. Cosmetic packaging materials should not contain toxic elements, heavy metals, or the content should be controlled below the relevant standards. The appearance of cosmetic packaging is a major aspect of cosmetic packaging design. The appearance elements include the size and shape of the display surface of the cosmetic packaging. If the appearance design is reasonable, the cosmetic packaging materials can be saved, the cost of cosmetic packaging can be reduced, and the pressure on environmental protection can be reduced.
