Pursuing the "Double Carbon" Goal Makes Food Enterprise Packaging Blow Green Wind

As an important part of food commodities, food packaging plays an important role in ensuring product quality, and is also a "big contributor" to carbon emissions in the food industry chain

Low carbon packaging reduces carbon footprint

Last year, "carbon peaking" and "carbon neutrality" were written into the government work report, and the goal of carbon emission peaking by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060 was set

In December last year, Yili's Jindian products launched the "0-aluminum-foil low-carbon aseptic paper-based" composite packaging in the country, aiming to increase the proportion of renewable ingredients in the packaging materials of organic milk products and advocate low-carbon organic life with practical actions

Plant-based and other new materials are more environmentally friendly

Driven by social sustainability goals and consumer environmentalism, the sustainable packaging market is also expanding

On World Environment Day last year, Jindian released the "Sugar Cane Bottle Cap" linked with Tetra Pak Plant-based Dream

In February of this year, The Coca-Cola Company launched its first plastic bottle made of 100% plant-based plastic, marking an important breakthrough in the company's sustainable packaging development

Last year's Earth Day, Starbucks launched the "slag cup" packaging

It is understood that in the future, Starbucks will also regularly launch limited-edition coffee environmental protection related products, such as coffee grounds coasters, coffee grounds soap,

Lightweight packaging becomes a trend

Making packaging lighter is a common practice in the food and beverage industry to drive sustainable strategies

For a long time, only the PET bottle body of beverage bottles can be reused as a recycled material

In March this year, Master Kong released the first label-free PET bottle packaging with the concept of low carbon and environmental protection at the Carbon Reduction, Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development Forum

On April 22, PepsiCo China’s official Weibo also announced that it will launch the first “no bottle label” PepsiCo

Many tea companies are also actively practicing lightweight packaging, especially in the past two years, the new tea bags that have been in the limelight, such as tea bags, are mostly packaged in carton boxes, and plant corn fiber is used as the material of the tea bags.
