The "environmental ceiling" in the paper bag industry! Why is FSC pure paper plastic-free packaging paper bag so popular?

Among many paper bag products, pure paper plastic-free packaging paper bags stand out and become a popular choice in the market, known as the "environmental ceiling" in the paper bag industry. So, why is it so popular? Next, Guowei Guanli will analyze it in depth from multiple dimensions.

 

1. FSC certification: a strong endorsement of sustainable development

 

(I) The connotation and significance of FSC certification

 

FSC, or Forest Stewardship Council, is a non-governmental organization dedicated to promoting sustainable forest management around the world. FSC certification is an authoritative certification of the legality and sustainability of the source of wood and wood products. Obtaining FSC certification means that the raw materials of the product come from well-managed forests that maintain sustainable and balanced development in ecological, social and economic aspects.

 

For Guowei Guanli's FSC pure paper plastic-free packaging paper bags, FSC certification ensures that the source of its paper raw materials is legal and sustainable. From forest planting and felling to processing into paper, every link follows strict standards to protect the integrity of forest ecosystems, maintain biodiversity, and safeguard the rights and interests of local communities and economic development. This not only meets the increasingly stringent environmental regulations around the world, but also allows consumers to support sustainable development with confidence when using products.

 

(II) FSC certification for the regulation and supervision of paper bag production

1. Raw material procurement traceability: FSC certification requires paper bag manufacturers to purchase wood or pulp from FSC-certified forest farms or suppliers. Companies need to establish a complete raw material procurement traceability system to record in detail the source, procurement time, quantity and other information of each batch of raw materials to ensure that the original forest origin of each piece of paper can be traced. This measure effectively prevents illegally felled wood from entering the production process and ensures the legal use of forest resources.

 

2. Production process compliance: During the production process, FSC-certified companies must follow a series of environmental protection and social responsibility standards. For example, adopt environmentally friendly production processes to reduce energy consumption and pollutant emissions; protect the legitimate rights and interests of employees and provide a safe and healthy working environment; properly handle waste in the production process to achieve resource recycling. Certification agencies will regularly audit companies to ensure that they continue to meet FSC certification standards.

 

2. Characteristics of pure paper and plastic-free paper bags: the core elements of green environmental protection

 

(I) Purity and naturalness of raw materials

 

Pure paper and plastic-free paper bags use 100% pure paper raw materials without adding any plastic ingredients. Its paper is mainly derived from high-quality virgin wood pulp, which has long fibers and high strength, providing a solid guarantee for the physical properties of paper bags. Compared with traditional plastic-containing paper bags, pure paper and plastic-free paper bags avoid the environmental pollution caused by plastics. Plastics are difficult to degrade in the natural environment, will exist for a long time and cause harm to soil, water sources and organisms. Pure paper raw materials have good degradability in the natural environment, can be gradually decomposed under the action of microorganisms, and finally return to the natural cycle.

 

(II) Environmental protection of production process

 

1. Application of clean production technology: In the production process, pure paper plastic-free paper bags adopt a series of advanced clean production technologies. For example, in the pulping process, elemental chlorine-free (ECF) or total chlorine-free (TCF) bleaching technology is used to replace the traditional chlorine-containing bleaching method. Traditional chlorine-containing bleaching will produce a large amount of chlorine-containing wastewater, which contains harmful substances such as dioxins, which are extremely harmful to the environment and human health. Clean bleaching technology greatly reduces the production of these harmful substances and reduces the negative impact of the production process on the environment.

 

2. Energy utilization optimization: Production enterprises pay attention to the optimization of energy utilization and actively adopt renewable energy and energy-saving equipment. Many enterprises have installed solar panels in the production workshop, using solar energy to provide electricity for some production equipment, reducing dependence on traditional fossil energy and reducing carbon emissions. At the same time, energy-saving papermaking equipment, such as efficient dryers and motors, are used to improve energy utilization efficiency and reduce energy consumption per unit product.

 

3. Excellent physical properties: meeting diverse packaging needs

(I) High strength and durability

 

Pure paper plastic-free packaging bags have excellent strength and durability due to their high-quality raw materials and advanced production processes. The fiber structure of its paper is tight and can withstand greater weight and pressure. In practical applications, it can easily carry heavy objects and is not easily damaged during multiple handling and use. This feature makes it very suitable for packaging various products, whether it is daily consumer goods or industrial products, and can provide reliable protection. For example, in the packaging of electronic products, it can effectively buffer the vibration during transportation and protect delicate electronic components from damage.

 

(II) Waterproof and moisture-proof performance

 

Although pure paper plastic-free packaging bags are made of pure paper, they have good waterproof and moisture-proof properties through special surface treatment processes, such as coating natural waterproof agents and using moisture-proof paper. The waterproof agent can form a tight protective film on the surface of the paper, effectively blocking the penetration of moisture, so that the paper bag can still maintain good performance in a humid environment. At the same time, the moisture-proof performance can prevent the items in the package from being damp and deteriorating due to moisture absorption, thereby extending the shelf life of the product. For example, in the field of Food Packaging, it can ensure that food remains dry and fresh during storage and sales, ensuring the quality and safety of food.

 

(III) Good air permeability

 

Unlike some plastic packaging materials, pure paper plastic-free packaging bags have good air permeability. This feature allows the items in the package to exchange moderate gas with the outside world, avoiding quality problems caused by humidity and stuffiness. For some products that need to breathe, such as fresh fruits, vegetables, tea, etc., the air permeability of paper bags can better maintain the freshness and quality of the products. For example, in tea packaging, its air permeability allows tea to maintain its unique aroma and taste, extending the shelf life of tea.
