The green future of cosmetic paper bag making

For a cosmetic, consumers are undoubtedly most concerned about the product in it; however, the production of cosmetic paper bags actually requires a lot of effort from the manufacturer, and even accounts for a small proportion of the product price. Taking 2015 as an example, the market size of China's cosmetics packaging industry was about 25.67 billion yuan. In the first quarter of 2016, the market size of China's cosmetic paper bag making industry reached 6.69 billion yuan, with an operating income of 5.46 billion yuan and a total profit of 330 million yuan. According to the forecast of Visiongain, a British business information consulting service company: in 2016, the size of the international cosmetic packaging market is expected to reach 32.4 billion US dollars.

The traditional cosmetic paper bags are mainly made of paper, plastic, glass, metal and so on. As the concept of green and environmental protection continues to take root in the hearts of the people, the packaging of cosmetics has also begun to take a green style. Various innovative environmentally friendly materials are constantly being applied to this industry.

1. PETG

A transparent, amorphous copolyester with glass-like transparency, gloss, chemical resistance, impact resistance, and recyclability. It has been used in perfume bottles, cosmetic bottles, lipstick tubes, cosmetic boxes, etc.

2. Bamboo plastic

Using bamboo fiber and bamboo powder as raw materials, instead of logs and EPE foam as buffer and packaging materials. It can reduce the use of wood pulp and reduce the damage to forest trees; and bamboo grows faster and saves water during processing.

3. Bran paper

Use bran as raw material to replace the same wood pulp and reduce the use of wood. At the same time, the product can also have the color of natural bran, giving people a more environmentally friendly feeling.

Although new environmentally friendly materials are emerging in an endless stream, and green cosmetic packaging has gradually become mainstream, some companies still have excessive packaging. Such a result will not only increase the cost of the product and the purchase burden of consumers, but also cause a serious waste of resources. Even the use of eco-friendly materials cannot make up for its lack of greenness.

Therefore, the green future of cosmetic packaging not only requires green materials, but also requires companies that make professional paper bags to have a green concept, so as to promote the transformation of the entire cosmetic industry chain to a greener direction.
