Remediation over packaging also need to find out where "degree" is

[China Packaging Network News] big and improper gift box, matching gold with jade ... over-packaging is extravagant waste. It is a good example to rectify excessive packaging according to laws by improving the regulations for reducing the amount of goods and packaging packaging, and making more severe penalties for violators. Of course, the effective implementation of laws and regulations must also be implemented by law enforcement agencies. Executability is the key to determining whether the law can go beyond the paper.

The problem of excessive packaging is rooted in the production process. However, a large number of commodities on the market now come from foreign countries and even foreign countries. Regulatory measures in this administrative region do not prevent excessive packaging of goods from the source. Therefore, the “Provisions (Draft)” starts from the sales process and requires that “the seller should clearly agree with the supplier of the goods that the commodity packaging must comply with the mandatory regulations and check the packaging of the goods at the time of incoming inspection and acceptance”. As sellers are listed as responsible for over-packaging, if they fail to fulfill the obligation of checking when they purchase, they are likely to face penalties directly, so their enthusiasm for law-abiding will be greatly increased. On the other hand, the Provisions (draft) also set aside channels for social supervision and stipulate that: “The municipal quality and technical supervision department shall publish on the portal website standards for restricting excessive packaging of goods formulated by the State and this Municipality to facilitate public enquiries. If the public finds that the packaging of the goods violates the mandatory provisions, the seller may be required to stop the sales and report to the quality and technical supervision department. After the information society has entered the era of microblogging, it can be imagined that the masses can take over-packaged goods and put them on the Internet and the official Weibo of the relevant departments can constitute a reporting process. This is undoubtedly a convenient and efficient method of mass supervision.

However, from the perspective of executability, it is worth paying attention to excessive standard issues. The provisions of the Regulations (Draft) are: “The city has implemented key supervision and control over commodities that restrict the over-packaging of commodities, and the city’s quality and technical supervision departments may not cooperate with relevant Departments and industry associations formulate guidelines for product packaging." At present, the national standard restricts the scope of merchandise over-packaging to only food and cosmetics, which is the national standard for restricting over-packaging of food and cosmetics, which was implemented in 2010, which stipulates that the number of packaging layers for food and cosmetics must not exceed The 3rd floor, packaging voidage shall not be greater than 60%, and the total sum of all packaging costs outside the initial packaging shall not exceed 20% of the sales price of the goods. From this standard, it is still relatively loose.

In some developed countries, such as Japan, which attaches great importance to packaging, the law stipulates that the vacancy in the product container should not exceed 20% of the container volume; the packaging cost should not exceed 15% of the product's selling price, and requires that the value of the product be marked on the packaging. The United States is more rigorous. It stipulates that if the packaging volume significantly exceeds 10% of the commodity, and the packaging cost exceeds 30% of the commodity, it shall be judged as a "commercial fraud" that infringes upon the consumer's rights and interests.

Obviously, after Shanghai introduces relevant laws and regulations, it is necessary to refine the current over-packaging standards, not only as soon as possible but also as soon as possible in addition to food and cosmetics, and also requires the packaging of food and cosmetics. To reduce its allowable space and reduce the 60% void rate to a more reasonable level, to demonstrate the creation of a conservation-oriented society.
