Excessive packaging environment suffers

Once the annual moon cake battles began, all merchants not only "competitively" on the moon cake variety, but also "wrestle" on the packaging gift box. It is no wonder that these moon cakes have been used for gifts in the past few years, and packaging has also done its best in luxury. The bigger the box is, the more beautifully printed it is, and it is more pleasing to the eye. However, peeling off the layers of packaging, but there are only a few small cakes in the area.

In fact, why is it that only moon cakes are overpacked? It was reported that after a box of health products was “skinned” by layers, the volume accounted for only 40% of the original packaging, and the peeled shell was actually 7 layers! Looking at the shopping mall today, there are many large and flawed goods packaging, and there are too many suspicions. What is excessive packaging? The cost of general product packaging accounts for about 10% of the cost. Obvious excess is excessive; packaging, which accounts for more than 30% of product cost, is commercial fraud. In fact, in my opinion, excessive packaging not only infringes the rights of consumers, but also causes damage to the ecological environment.

First, excessive packaging consumes a lot of paper, and it is high-grade paper. Papermaking consumes the earth's vegetation and many trees are cut down. In recent years, the Chinese have already begun to suffer revenge by nature — floods, droughts, landslides, and dust storms. It can be said that disasters occur frequently and suffer heavy losses. Secondly, beautiful packaging materials are ultimately waste and waste, especially those filled with foam. It can be seen that over-packaging from drawing materials to manufacturing to becoming rubbish destroys the environment from beginning to end.

Excessive packaging, environmental damage, this is not an exaggeration. Can you turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye? The author believes that this kind of behavior, in the final analysis, focuses on making money and ignoring environmental protection. Germany is one of the countries with the best environmental protection in the world. When I visited the country in previous years, I strongly felt that they attached importance to environmental protection in terms of legislation, policies, institutions, and national awareness and behavior. Germany promoted "no packaging concept" 10 years ago, even if there is packaging

Also try to be simple, even buy shoes and don't provide boxes. Customers often bring their own shopping bags, otherwise the store will only sell kraft paper bags. In Germany, you don't see extra packaging, plastic bags, pouches, and the like.

I think that we must strengthen our national environmental protection awareness on the packaging issue, and don't do anything about "beautiful packaging and ruining our homeland." Of course, relying solely on propaganda does not work. We may refer to the German practice, and make some provisions in laws and policies. We will use administrative and economic means to implement the “simplified packaging” strategy. It will last forever and will eventually work. By that time, excessive packaging will certainly be able to withdraw from the market and exit the market.
