新型“环保”食品包装材料持续创新和探索
21世纪也被称为“环保世纪”，随着环境被破坏,环保概念越来越被提倡,各行各业也都开始流行”环保”， 绿色化发展成为当前制造业发展的目标之一，食品包装企业自然也不例外，紧跟着时代的发展。现今，食品包装材料中塑料占据了半个行业。在绿色化包装的趋势下，食品包装行业也在不断地加大对可降解包装材料的研发力度。
The 21st century is also known as the "century of environmental
protection". With the destruction of the environment, the concept of
environmental protection is being advocated more and more, and all walks of
life begin to be popular with "environmental protection".Today,
plastics make up half of the food packaging industry. In the trend of green
packaging, the food packaging industry is also constantly increasing the
research and development of biodegradable packaging materials.
塑料作为包装材料是现代包装技术发展的重要标志，因为它的原料来源丰富，成本低，性能优良，成为近40年来世界上发展飞速，用量巨大的包装材料之一。它是一种高分子聚合物，它的大分子的特殊结构使得塑料具有一系列的特殊性能：化学堕性、难溶性、强韧性等。
As a packaging material, plastic is an important symbol of the development of
modern packaging technology, because of its rich source of raw materials, low
cost and excellent performance, it has become one of the world's rapid
development and huge consumption of packaging materials in the past 40 years.
It is a kind of high molecular polymer, its macromolecular special structure
makes plastic has a series of special properties: chemical inertia,
insolubility, strength and toughness.
在我国用于食品包装的塑料也多达十五、六种，如PE、PP、PS、PET、PA、PVDC、EVA、PVA、EVOH、PVC、离子键树脂等。但是我们不可否认，塑料优良的高阻氧性、高阻湿性、耐射线辐照性、耐低温性等等给食品工业带来了很多好处。但塑料在环境的难以自然降解，随着人类使用量的增加，废弃塑料物在环境中不断累积，让生态环境遭受到了严重的破坏，也给人类给生物带了不同程度的伤害。
In China, there are as many as 15 or 6 kinds of plastics used in food
packaging, such as PE, PP, PS, PET, PA, PVDC, EVA, PVA, EVOH, PVC, ionic bond
resin, etc. But we cannot deny that plastic excellent high resistance to
oxygen, high resistance to moisture, radiation radiation resistance, low
temperature resistance and so on to bring a lot of benefits to the food
industry. However, it is
difficult for plastics to degrade naturally in the environment. With the
increase of human use, waste plastics accumulate in the environment, causing
serious damage to the ecological environment and varying degrees of harm to
humans and organisms.
所以正是因为这样，许多食品包装材料生产企业以及相关科研机构都在加大力度开发可降解的包装材料，用来替代传统塑料制品，解决日益严重的污染问题。可降解的包装材料可以循环利用，不仅对保护环境和社会有很大的效益，而且经济效益也非常可观，是一种可持续发展的绿色包装。
Therefore, many food packaging materials manufacturers and related scientific
research institutions are making great efforts to develop degradable packaging
materials to replace traditional plastic products and solve the increasingly
serious pollution problem. Degradable packaging materials can be recycled, not only to protect the
environment and society has great benefits, and economic benefits are very
considerable, is a sustainable development of green packaging.
目前，国内外市场上流行的“环保”包装材料主要有纸包装、可降解塑料包装、生物包装材料等，像KFC推出的可吃包装纸；美国将乳酸进一步聚合制成生物可降解塑料；意大利利用玉米淀粉生产生物可降解塑料。我国生物可降解塑料发展也很快，如以薯类、玉米等淀粉制成的食品容器、“光——生物双降解”塑料等，像嘉美塑料制品有限公司就推出了两款可降解餐具制品，例如“光降解”无机碳粉所制造成餐具，和生物可降解原料制成的餐具；说明国内外都在对“环保”食品包装材料在不断地探索和创新。
At present, the popular "environmental protection" packaging
materials at home and abroad mainly include paper packaging, biodegradable
plastic packaging, biological packaging materials and so on. Lactic acid is
further polymerized to make biodegradable plastics in the United States; Italy USES corn starch to produce biodegradable plastics. Development of
biodegradable plastics in our country also quickly, such as a food container
made of potato and corn starch, "light of biological degradation plastics,
etc., like Karmay plastic products co., LTD., launched two new biodegradable
tableware products, such as" light degradation "inorganic carbon
powder made into tableware, and the tableware of biodegradable material; It indicates
that the "environmental protection" food packaging materials are
constantly explored and innovated at home and abroad.
但就目前来说，可降解包装材料的成本较塑料要高，很多企业担心价格上涨会降低消费者的消费欲望降低。但根据凯米拉的国际消费者调查显示，85%的中国消费者对于“我愿意为食品的可再生包装(如纸盒或其他生物材料)支付更多费用”这一议题，给出了肯定回应。此外，也有65%的一线城市受访者认为，食品生产商应承担减少包装中塑料废物数量的主要责任。
But for now, biodegradable packaging costs more than plastic, and many
companies worry that rising prices will reduce consumers' desire to spend. But
according to camilla's international consumer survey, 85 percent of Chinese
consumers responded positively to the question of "I'm willing to pay more
for renewable packaging of food, such as cardboard boxes or other biological
materials." In addition, 65 percent of respondents in first-tier cities
believe that food manufacturers should bear the main responsibility for
reducing the amount of plastic waste in packaging.
由于传统塑料对生态环境的影响日益严重，造成的“白色污染”也慢慢的开始影响人类，人们已经认识到“白色污染”对人类生存环境的危害。现今，食品包装材料已经开始“更新换代”，可降解食品包装材料的投入使用，不仅有助于环节食品污染问题，更赋予了传统包装材料更多的功能。
Due to the increasingly serious impact of traditional plastics on the
ecological environment, the "white pollution" caused by "white
pollution" has gradually begun to affect human beings. People have
realized the harm of "white pollution" on human living environment.
Nowadays, food packaging materials have begun to be "upgraded". The
application of biodegradable food packaging materials not only helps solve the
problem of food pollution, but also endowing traditional packaging materials
with more functions.
