Use green packaging to have a healthy life

In order to improve the safety of students in food safety, especially for food packaging such as plastic products, the awareness and ability of university students to prevent and identify relatively hidden harmful food packaging will be intensified to arouse the awareness of environmental protection among university students, and subtle influence will be protected. The environment, resource conservation, and health-minded thinking and knowledge were transmitted to university students. On September 20th, 2006, the third Beijing in 2006, which was selected by the Beijing Environmental Science Society and the Beijing Environmental Cutlery Co-Organization, “Use green packaging to have a healthy life”. The "Health and Environment Week in Colleges and Universities" was opened at Beijing Technology and Business University.

In recent years, the issue of food quality and safety has received extensive attention from various sectors of the society and relevant state agencies. Not only the food itself has safety and quality problems, but also there are numerous hidden dangers in food packaging, posing a great threat to the health of consumers. At the “2006 China Green Packaging Forum” held in Beijing on September 1, 2006, the relevant person in charge of the Food Supervision Department of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine pointed out that China will fully implement the food packaging market access system, and the first batch of market access systems will be implemented. There are 39 kinds of plastic packaging products for food, including drinking water barrels, retail product packaging bags, instant noodle bags, puffed food bags, disposable plastic tableware, plastic milk bottles, and plastic tableware for children's tableware and student tableware. A wide range of products that people are highly concerned about.

In response to the numerous problems in food safety and packaging, the Beijing Institute of Environmental Sciences, in response to requests from teachers and students, successfully held the first session of the Environmental Protection Week on “Environmental protection against counterfeiting and inferiority” in December 2004; it was successfully held in May 2005. The second session of the Beijing University Health and Environmental Protection Week was held in “Hug the Green and Have Health”.

This session of the College of Health and Environment Week has been combined with the environmental protection societies of nearly ten universities, including the Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Central University of Finance and Economics, China University of Geosciences, Beijing Institute of Fashion, Renmin University of China, Beijing Technology and Business University, Beijing Normal University, and Beijing Forestry University. The students' volunteers use a combination of poster board display, on-site explanation and questionnaires to enhance students' awareness of environmental protection and their awareness of health protection. The event was received by BTV News Center, China Education TV Station, BTV7 Living Face to Face column, China Packaging News, China Food Quality News, China Consumer News, China Economic Report, China Environment News, China Enterprise News, China Reports Magazine, Health News. , Science and Technology Daily, Beijing Times, Beijing Morning Post, Beijing News, Beijing Entertainment News, Shenzhen Special Zone News, Public Welfare Times, and many other media attention, and was organized by Beijing Environmental Protection Tableware Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Xunbao Investment Development Co., Ltd. and Baoding City. Bo Zhi Green Tableware Co., Ltd. strongly supports.

Chairman of the Beijing Municipal Environmental Science Association Pan Xiaoda, Secretary General Chen Bingyan, Beijing Institute of Industry and Commerce Leadership, environmental protection expert Dong Jinshi, and Vice President of China Packaging Newspaper attended the opening ceremony of the event and attended the opening ceremony with Beijing Technology and Business University and other universities. College students conducted face-to-face communication and exchanges on issues such as green packaging and environmental protection.

September of Golden Autumn coincided with the most comfortable season in Beijing. The signing banner of thousands of people paraded across more than a dozen institutions of higher learning in Beijing. It not only left the solemn signature of senior students in school, but also the freshmen who had just entered the school. Wrote his own voice for environmental protection. At lunchtime every day, staff and college students volunteers gave enthusiastic talks to a group of teachers and students who came to consult and distributed environmental protection publicity materials. Environmental protection expert Dong Jinshi was even surrounded by students. He used his extensive knowledge to answer questions asked by each student patiently, and gave students a vivid demonstration of the difference between genuine and fake environmental protection utensils, napkins, plastic bags, and hygienic chopsticks. Human and environmental hazards.

In the investigation of the activity, many students showed concern and concern for environmental protection. They generally mistakenly thought that thin, paper-like counterfeit and inferior tableware was considered as “green tableware” that was easy to “degrade”. The students said that because the labels of “urban environmental protection”, “green Olympics” and “environmental protection tableware” were marked on the lunch boxes packed in the fast food restaurants, we thought we could use them with confidence, but only through this environmental education activity did we make We truly understand that these high-sounding slogans are just some of the tricks used by counterfeiters in order to obtain illegal profits. Thankfully, some students said that after participating in the previous sessions of college environmental week publicity activities, more and more people and their friends and family have been eating and packaging at restaurants and hotels, knowing to choose to identify truly qualified food and beverages. Supplies, refused to fake and shoddy products.

2008 is an opportunity for China to use the Olympic Games to raise the civilized image and demonstrate a green and humanistic platform. It is also an important test for companies engaged in the environmental protection food packaging industry. It is a green package that adds green and brilliance to safe, environmentally friendly food packaging. Incumbent responsibility and obligation of business, we should establish a strong sense of environmental protection at any time, so that the motherland's sky is bluer, the water is clearer, the tree is greener, and our ideals are radiated together in the spirit of the Green Olympics.

Additives shape the future of the plastic world
Http://Time:2006-10-08 China National Chemical Information Network The current sales volume of plastics has grown to 180 million tons per year and continues to maintain an annual growth rate of 5%, which is unthinkable without the development of effective additives. Currently 40% of antioxidants and 45% of light stabilizers are used in polypropylene (PP).

Additives can perform many functions in plastics. Global consumption has reached 8 million tons (2.7 million tons in Europe) and worth 12 billion euros (excluding pigments and fillers). In terms of value and capacity, plasticizers are currently the most consumed additive, with a total global consumption of 4.8 million tons (global sales of 4 billion euros, European consumption of 1.5 million tons). Followed by flame retardants, the global consumption of 1 million tons (Europe 490,000 tons), with a total value of about 1.7 billion euros. Among all these important additives (plasticizers, flame retardants, heat stabilizers, impact modifiers, antioxidants, light stabilizers, and lubricants), the annual growth rate of flame retardants is the highest, at 6%.

Additives and polymers together form a powerful team that can tailor plastic properties to current and future uses. It is not yet possible to introduce a new polymer structure at least on a large scale. For cost reasons, the trend for polymer producers is to continue to have larger standardized devices. Both of these points increase the importance of plastic blends and additives as a means of obtaining new additional properties. The role played by additives is even more important. They make more general purpose use in different substrates and target markets. Additive manufacturers need to understand the consumer industry trends and produce innovative products that fit the market. Therefore, the functional range of additives in plastic applications should continue to expand and provide comprehensive performance. In addition, additives can also help to achieve a more cost-effective solution. By applying additives, general-purpose plastics (such as polyolefins) can meet the performance requirements of traditional engineering plastics.

The role of additives in plastics is increasing, not only affecting the plastic itself. A typical example is an additive that improves the properties of the plastic surface, which plays a role in the plastic and its environment. Antistatic agents protect equipment and components, including packaging electronics from static electricity, that is, from dust accumulation to discharge. In addition, long-lasting antistatic agents (such as Ciba IrgastaP) can provide years of protection - even if the surface is regularly cleaned. In this way, surface effects and long-term performance are combined.

Additives are not only beneficial to plastics, but another example of products that are beneficial to packaging are products for food packaging. These additives prolong the freshness and shelf life of foods, protecting vitamins and other components from being degraded by ultraviolet or oxygen.
