Environmental protection packaging materials generally include reusable and renewable packaging materials, edible packaging materials, degradable materials and natural paper materials. Environmental protection packaging is reflected in the saving of materials, the minimum waste and energy saving, easy recycling, and the packaging waste does not produce secondary pollution. Therefore, the selection of environmental protection packaging materials should conform to the basic principles of harmless, pollution-free and renewable utilization. Although pure natural environmental protection packaging materials are pollution-free, the commercial cost is high, and it is also a serious waste of earth resources. Composite environmental protection materials will become the mainstream of environmental protection packaging in the future because of their low cost, no pollution, easy recycling and other characteristics.

As the European Union, the United States, Canada and other countries restrict China's export goods from using wood packaging to enter the country's market, the development of wood substitute packaging materials is becoming more and more urgent, which also drives the research, development and production of wood substitute packaging materials in China's packaging industry.
