Green food expects "green packaging"

Although the green food is favored by consumers, the secondary pollution caused by the packaging of green foods has caused consumers a lot of confusion.

A few days ago, the reporter went to Chaoyang shop at Beijing Lotus Supermarket. In the vegetable monopoly area, he saw some “green vegetables” wrapped in plastic trays and wrapped with something similar to plastic wrap. Other vegetables, such as oiled wheat and celery, were placed in plastic bags. The reporter asked the salesman, “What are the materials of these trays and plastic bags?” The salesperson said, “These trays are all environmentally friendly and can be used with confidence. Plastic bags are less clear.” In the grain monopoly area The reporter saw a brand of "green rice" that was still woven. The salesperson explained that “we have always used this and have not felt anything bad. As for whether or not the packaging is environmentally friendly, this is a matter for manufacturers. We are only responsible for sales, and we are not very clear about specific issues.” Reporter in Beijing A similar situation was seen in supermarkets at Shilibao Huatang Mall. The sales staff only told reporters that the trays and plastic bags used to package green vegetables had no problem. However, it is not clear which material was used.

A professional from the China Green Food Development Center told reporters that due to the immature conditions in various aspects, there is no uniform requirement for the packaging of green foods. Most green foods in real life have not adopted “green packaging” and some green foods. The packaging does not even meet the requirements of ordinary food packaging standards. It is difficult to determine whether some of the green foods on the market are environmentally friendly and healthy. If consumers find out which green foods are packaged with unqualified packaging materials, they can report to the relevant authorities.

Li Xianjun, deputy director of China Green China Organic Food Certification Center, told this reporter that the packaging of green food is more complicated. We also found in the supermarket that many green food packaging materials do not meet the requirements. For example, some foods such as grains and vegetables are often packed in plastic bags or plastic trays. The polyvinyl chloride contained in some plastics not only has toxic side effects to the human body, but also causes pollution to the environment after use. It is simply not a "green packaging." Some "green fruit" packaging actually uses a disposable foam plastic net.

According to reports, green food packaging requires a longer shelf life, does not bring secondary pollution, and minimize the loss of green food nutrition. As a green food, its packaging must comply with the basic requirements of ordinary food packaging, but should pay attention to the selection of packaging materials: 1. safety. The packaging material itself must be non-toxic, will not release toxic substances, contaminate food, and affect people's health; 2. Degradability. After food is consumed, the remaining packaging is degradable and will not pollute the environment; 3. Reusability. Under the principle of sustainable development, green food requires that after the consumption of green food, the remaining packaging materials can be reused, which will not only save resources, but also reduce the generation of waste and reduce environmental pollution. In addition, in terms of the choice of packaging technology, green foods must not cause pollution to the product during the packaging process, and it will not be harmful to the health of the personnel and will not cause pollution to the environment.

Li Xianjun finally stated that the use of "green packaging" for green food is a general trend, but China's current standards for "green packaging" have not yet been enacted. If you do not pay attention to this long-term, it will have a negative impact on green food.
