What are the development trends of the food packaging industry?

<p>[China Packaging Network News] In recent years, with the rapid development of the food industry and the continuous upgrading of the consumer market, the <a href="https://www.gdhuihuapackaging.com/" target="_blank">food packaging </a>industry has ushered in new development trends. For example, new packaging materials can achieve green degradation and reduce "white pollution"; Smart packaging can monitor the temperature of food, can trace the source, and be able to identify anti-counterfeiting, etc., to bring consumers a different shopping experience.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>What are the development trends of the food packaging industry?</p><p><br></p><p>Green</p><p><br></p><p>"Green packaging" is also called "sustainable packaging", in short it is "recyclable, easily degradable, and lightweight". At present, more and more countries and regions in the world have restricted or banned the use of plastic products in different ways. In addition to "replacing plastic with paper" to reduce "white pollution", new packaging materials (such as biological Materials) has also become the direction of industry exploration.</p><p><br></p><p>The so-called biological materials refer to the use of biotechnology to process green or natural substances into packaging materials. In some European countries, oil films, proteins, etc. have begun to be used as food packaging materials. For example, a Danish brewery has developed a wood fiber wine bottle that uses more environmentally friendly packaging materials to achieve green degradation. It can be seen that biological packaging materials have very broad prospects and will be applied to various fields in the future.</p><p><br></p><p>Versatile</p><p><br></p><p>With the rapid development of the packaging industry and the diversified needs of the consumer market, food packaging is developing in the direction of diversified functions, including oil-proof, moisture-proof, fresh-keeping, high barrier, active packaging... and modern smart label technology, such as two How to combine dimensional code and block chain anti-counterfeiting with traditional packaging is also the development trend of the food packaging industry in the future.</p><p><br></p><p>As far as I know, a company that focuses on fresh-keeping technology is experimenting with nano-technology fresh-keeping packaging. According to relevant personnel, the green and environmentally friendly inorganic packaging box using nanotechnology is non-toxic and tasteless. It can not only inhibit the breathing of the food (if vegetables) in the box, but also absorb the gas emitted by the breathing of fruits and vegetables, thereby regulating the internal temperature and effectively extending The shelf life of fruits and vegetables. In addition, the entire transportation process does not require any refrigerant, which also saves energy.</p><p><br></p><p>Safe and reliable</p><p><br></p><p>We know that food is inseparable from packaging, and most packaging materials directly or indirectly contact the product. The residue of hazardous substances in food packaging is too high, and food safety incidents caused by migration in the food frequently occur.</p><p><br></p><p>In addition, the basic function of packaging is to protect the safety of food. However, some food packaging not only fails to protect the food, but contaminates the food due to the unqualified packaging itself. Therefore, the non-toxic and harmless food packaging materials play a vital role in ensuring food safety.</p><p><br></p><p>A few days ago, an important new national standard for food contact materials has been fully implemented. It clearly requires that food contact materials and final products should be marked with "food contact", "food packaging" or similar terms, or printed, The logo of spoon and chopsticks is added to ensure the safety of food packaging materials to a certain extent.</p>
