The importance of green packaging design
In recent years, with the process of global industrialization and the rapid increase of packaging in the world, commodity packaging forms a large market so that packaging materials have a broad space for development, paper, plastic, metal, glass, and many other materials are widely used in a variety of packaging, in the convenience and benefits for people at the same time, most of the packaging materials are often arbitrarily discarded, but also to cause serious harm to the environment of human survival, Environmental protection has become an issue of great concern to people.
