The construction of ecological civilization is an inevitable requirement for accelerating the transformation of economic development mode and realizing green development. In recent years, my country has launched a series of major measures to promote green development. One of the important tasks for sustainable development is to establish and improve the standard system, focus on improving the quality of standards in various industries, and strengthen standard implementation and innovative services.

In order to promote the development of my country's packaging and environmental and green packaging standardization work, and further help the construction of my country's circular economy system and the realization of the national "dual-carbon" strategic goal, the National Packaging Standardization Technical Committee Packaging and Environment Sub-Technical Committee (SAC/TC49/SC10) The revision of two national standards including "Packaging Recycling Mark" and "Packaging and Environmental Terminology" was proposed. The standard is led by the China Institute of Export Commodities Packaging. China Export Commodities Packaging Research Institute is the technical counterpart of ISO/TC122/SC4 of the International Organization for Standardization, and also undertakes the secretariat of the Packaging and Environment Sub-Committee of the Domestic Packaging Standardization Technical Committee. Over the years, it has been committed to the research of environmental resource conservation and green and low-carbon development, and has undertaken and completed dozens of scientific research projects entrusted by the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Finance, the General Logistics Department of the People's Liberation Army and other relevant authorities. , and formulated a number of national standards to adapt to the current development of the ecological environment.

The revised two national standards, "Packaging Recycling Mark" and "Packaging and Environmental Terminology", have a wide range of applications and strong practicability, and have received extensive attention from the industry and full attention from the competent authorities. At present, the two standards have been released by the State Administration for Market Regulation (Standard Committee) as key standards in the field of green sustainability.

The national standard "Packaging Recycling Signs" focuses on the production, use and recycling needs of commonly used packaging materials such as paper, plastic, metal, glass and composite materials. Combined with the characteristics of different materials, it specifies the types of recycling signs, basic graphics and labeling requirements. It will promote the development of standardization of packaging, environment and green packaging in China, and help the implementation of garbage classification in my country. Accelerate the formation of green and low-carbon production and lifestyle, and promote green and low-carbon development.

The national standard "Packaging, Packaging and Environmental Terminology" provides relevant important terms and definitions, making it easier for supply chain stakeholders to understand and grasp, and will provide support for effective packaging production, recycling, and processing. It is of great significance to the construction of my country's packaging waste classification and disposal system.

The two standards will be implemented on February 1, 2023. It is believed that the implemented standards will play an important role in the packaging industry's contribution to my country's ecological civilization construction and green development.
