With the increasingly prominent environmental problems, people gradually realize the importance of environmental protection, and vigorously support the application of green environmental protection materials in packaging design. The development and utilization of new environmental protection materials has become a global common goal.

Under the influence of the new concept of environmental protection, product packaging designers have abandoned the tedious packaging design process in the past, and are seeking more simplified and lightweight design models. In terms of the choice of packaging materials, we prefer environmentally friendly materials, such as degradable materials, natural polymer and other materials that will not pollute the environment. Often these materials have rich reserves in nature and are renewable, so they meet the current needs of people for sustainable development.

To reduce environmental pollution, waste packaging materials are usually disposed by burning or burying. However, traditional packaging materials will cause serious pollution to the natural environment during burning and burying. Non-degradability is a common feature of traditional packaging materials. Therefore, it takes a lot of time to be effectively decomposed when buried in the soil, and some even take decades to be completely decomposed. Even if incineration is selected, a large amount of sulfurized pollution gas will be generated after incineration, which will cause great harm to the air environment. The new green environmental protection materials will not have similar problems. The new materials have stronger self-degradation ability and can be effectively decomposed in a short time when buried in the soil. In addition, the decomposed products can effectively enhance soil fertility, promote the yield of land plants, and effectively avoid environmental pollution.
