The world is changing too fast with changes that are always unexpected. Green smart packaging, the next revolutionary change in packaging industry, are you ready for the change?
After 30 years of reform and opening up, the Chinese economy has developed at a speed that shocked the world, and at the same time it has paid a high price in environmental damages. According to the China Environmental Association's report published on October, 9, 2010 China's annual solid waste is about 1 billion tons, ranking second in the world. Among them, the packing material accounts for 25% in volume, and 15% in weight, which is increasing at a rate of 10% every year. By the end of 2012, China had accumulated 10 billion tons of garbage, covering an area of nearly 800 million square meters. In the year of 2015, more than 50% of China's 600 cities have been surrounded by landfills, which in first- and second-tier cities such as Shanghai and Hangzhou only have five-year disposal. China's current waste disposal capacity is only 160 million tons annually, but this has produced harmful gases of 40.8 billion cubic meters each year, which brings about serious air pollution. The smog is seriously affecting people's everyday life!
The world-famous prophet Jorgen Landers predicted in 2012 in the authoritative report "China and the World in 2052": If the world economy develops according to the current model pace, the world average temperature will rise by 2 degrees or more by 2052 (the limit is 2 degrees). The Arctic permafrost will rise by 2 meters and the sea level will rise by an average of one foot. The Earth's climate will form a "self-reinforcing" phenomenon, that is, the melting of frozen soil will release a large amount of methane and other hydrocarbons gas stored in the ice layer, which will generate a great deal of greenhouse gases. As a result, the temperature of the earth will go up further, resulting in further melting of the secondary layer of frozen soil, engendering more greenhouse gases and increasing sea level. Such a vicious circle will make the Earth's climate irreversible, and the human world will face a devastating tragedy!
Sovereign nations in economic globalization have been awakened one after another, and it is not too late to protect the earth!
In 2004, the European Community took the lead in issuing the ROHS Environmental Protection Act, and decided to phase out the toxic and harmful electronic and component products and their packaging materials in five years, though the implementation was delayed due to the European economic crisis. On June 20, 2014, the European Parliament reissued the amended "Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive" (94/62/EC), which set a two-year transition from the date of the amendment. On June 20, 2016, the ROHS environmental protection bill was fully enacted to prohibit all toxic and harmful pollutants from entering the European Community; developed countries in North America and Asia also issued relevant laws and regulations in the same year; the Chinese government promulgated "Measures for the Implementation of Packages" on February 28, 2012. Since 2016, with the deepening of the supply-side structural reform, a Go-green tide is emerging on the China's land.
GP Materials Technology(Jiangsu)Co., Ltd, the global leader in the green and smart packaging industry, appeals to global people and enterprises which value our affectionate lives and advocate the Go-green economy to devote combined efforts to the formation of green environmental protection trends, which will definitely be vast and unstoppable. Save the earth, there is no time to delay!
