When I thought about it seriously, I discovered a pattern, that is, many things are a cycle from primitive simplicity to endless luxury and then back to nature. Why do you say this? The water cup industry has been booming since the 1990s. Packaging has also evolved from simple and pragmatic to a variety of materials in recent years, and packaging forms have become more and more luxurious. Then in 2022, packaging requirements will be continuously introduced around the world, returning to simplicity and environmental protection.
The global de-plasticization is gradually advancing, and environmentally friendly recycling has become a key requirement in many overseas regions, especially the European Union, which is the most stringent. Deplasticized, recyclable, degradable, and simple, it has gradually become a standard requirement for export packaging.
Packaging that opens a skylight in order to display the product and then uses PVC transparent plastic to cover it has been strictly required not to be exported to Europe. The use of large amounts of wood in packaging is also prohibited. Those packaging that uses many new materials but cannot be recycled are even more clearly banned. prohibit.
Taking what has been experienced over the years as an example, in order to increase the added value of products, early overseas channels used exquisite packaging for water cups, using metal packaging, wooden packaging, bamboo tube packaging, and even ceramic packaging. These were added to the packaging The value of luxury water bottles has also increased. Putting aside the value of these packages, many packages are only disposable products that consumers will throw away after purchase. These high-end and complex packages are often difficult to recycle due to the mixed materials, causing pollution and harm to the environment.
In the past two years, customers’ packaging requirements for the water cups exported by our factory have become simpler and simpler. We only see one or two orders a year for packaging similar to hardcover gift boxes. Especially European customers require the simplest and best packaging. Made of recycled paper, the printing ink must also be environmentally friendly and pollution-free. There are also many customers who simply cancel the outer carton of the water cup and choose to use copy paper packaging, which is beautiful and environmentally friendly.
Those who make wooden packaging and bamboo packaging should pay special attention. It is becoming increasingly difficult for these products to be exported to Europe. Friends who export water cups can read the latest EU packaging regulations. Products that cannot be recycled, cause damage to the environment, use plant packaging, etc. are not allowed to be used under the new packaging regulations.
