Recently, news came that the United States will further strengthen its supervision plan for food contact materials used in the manufacturing, packaging and transportation processes in the future. In June of this year, the United States came to the news of the newly revised food additive regulations related to food contact materials. In 2021, the State of Maine, USA released a draft list of food contact chemicals of high concern. As early as 2019, the United States has extremely strict requirements on the safety of food packaging. In 2011, the hazards of global food packaging materials to export food safety have long been taken seriously, and its control measures have also been optimized.
Packaging manufacturing refers to the processing and manufacturing of packaging, and the use of professional equipment to output packaging. Food contact materials generally refer to all materials used in processing, production, packaging, storage and transportation of food that can come into contact with food. The food management law in the United States can be traced back to several centuries ago05 Cross contamination due to unsanitary conditions
In addition, it has recently been reported that the European Union will revise the packaging directive and there will be new changes in biodegradable compostable plastics. The European Union intends to mandate the use of post-consumer recycled plastics in plastic packaging, which shows that PCR has unlimited potential in the international market. The EU's new packaging regulations stipulate recycled content, biodegradable composting, recyclability definitions, recycling and reuse targets. Even though the European Commission actively solicits opinions on these aspects, it is inevitable that it has caused great controversy. Among them, the latest progress of the "European Green New Deal" refers directly to plastic packaging waste. In 2018, the European Union plans to implement the "Plastic Strategy" and strive to increase the recycling rate to 55%. In 2019, the consumption of plastic bags decreased by 80%, realizing the EU's 2014 forecast; as early as 2014, the biodegradable plastic packaging industry ushered in a period of rapid development. In 2021, the positioning of biodegradable plastics will be initially clarified, and the EU will start the countdown to research on the policy framework.
Obviously, the global manufacturing, industry, plastics and rubber, and packaging industries have experienced fierce competition and rapid development in recent years. Among them, the development potential of new digital technology and new kinetic energy of premix production is particularly huge.
