[Chinese Packaging Network News] Since the 1980s, "green food", "green clothing", "green refrigerator" and "green car" have created a massive green wave in the world. The per capita annual consumption of packaging materials is over 100kg in the United States, 50kg in the United States, 200kg in Japan, 90kg in Germany, 80kg in the Commonwealth of Independent States, and 30kg in China, compared to the average annual per capita consumption of packaging materials in China. China has a population of 1.3 billion, so the annual consumption of packaging materials is still quite large. Therefore, environmental protection has become an inevitable development direction of the packaging industry.
After the edible paper packaging meets the delicious and environmentally friendly food, the eye-catching food wrapping paper in the kitchen is always a headache, and how delicious and environmentally friendly is it? The German baking brand Dr. Oetker recently introduced an edible cupcake cake tray that not only solves the problem of discarded wrapping paper but also solves the problem by the way.
According to PSFK, the environmental paper tray introduced by Dr. Oetker can be eaten together when biting cakes. Paper trays are very sweet, can be baked directly, and can be "shaped" for the dough before baking - usually making a cup cake requires a special mold tray, and with this tray, the user can use the ordinary flat bottom tray Easy to bake small cakes.
Gill Davies, Head of Marketing at Dr. Oetker in the UK, said, “The development of baking dies is not satisfactory. We hope that the edible paper cradle will promote innovation in this category. Consumers are always looking for novel ways to demonstrate baking results. The paper holder is a new element that gives people a sense of light and we hope that it will become an explosive product, so that those who want to bake will no longer worry about not having the right mold tray and enjoy the pleasure of baking." Ingredients for edible paper trays include corn starch, potato starch, rice starch, vegetable oil, beetroot, and food colorings. There are two colors, pink and light blue.
Founded in Germany more than 100 years ago, Dr. Oetker currently has more than 400 products, including baking flour, icing sugar, natural spices, chocolate chips, food colorings, frozen pizzas and snacks, and more.
Paper packaging is increasingly welcomed by baking food packaging. The rapid development of China's food industry has provided a broad space for the development of paper packaging. It is expected that the circular economy will become the main mode for the development of the packaging industry in the future, recycling of packaging waste resources will be realized in industrialization, green packaging materials will be greatly developed and developed, and the basic packaging industry will also accelerate development.
Green packaging can also be referred to as pollution-free packaging and Environmental Friendly Package, which means that it is harmless to the ecological environment and human health, can be reused and recycled, and is compatible with sustainable development packaging. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Degradable are the 3R and 1D principles recognized by the world in the 21st century for the development of green packaging. Green packaging should be understood to be completely safe and pollution-free during the life cycle. Paper packaging is undoubtedly the most environmentally friendly packaging material.
The raw materials of paper are mainly natural plant fibers, which will quickly rot in nature, will not cause environmental pollution, and can also be recycled for papermaking. Therefore, many international corporations use recycled paper for annual reports and publicity materials production. They use recycled paper to make letter paper and letter paper to reflect their green principles of environmental concern, and at the same time establish a good corporate image. Paper materials also include pulp injection molding parts, composite materials, building materials and many other uses. Pulp molded products not only have the advantages of light weight, low cost, shock resistance, etc., but also have good air permeability and are conducive to the preservation of fresh products. In the international commodity circulation, they are widely used in fragile products such as eggs, fruits, and glass products. , easy to break, afraid of the squeezed items on the packaging.
The world of packaging in the future is made of paper. Globally, we call for green packaging and cherish our home. Paper technology will be widely used in the packaging industry. Green packaging will become the main trend of the development of the baking food packaging industry in the future. However, paper-based wood, paper-based plastic, paper-based glass, and paper-based metal have become sustainable. Development consensus. Paper materials have more renewable natural materials and more environmentally friendly recycling, fully demonstrating the potential of paper materials.
