3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in GB/T 4122.1 and
GB/T 23156 and the following apply.
3.1
Supplier
The operator responsible for packaging or packaged products placed on the market or
delivered for use.
Note: Supplier also refers to the owner of the product and its packaging before it is sold; or the
manufacturer or seller indicated on the label, or more precisely, the operator who voluntarily
implements this Part. When the packaging used by the supplier is provided by other
manufacturers, the supplier can trace the relevant technical information.
3.2
Packaging system
Complete set of packaging for a packaged good, encompassing one or more of the
following that are applicable (depending on the packaged goods): Primary packaging,
Secondary (combined) packaging, Tertiary (transport) packaging.
[GB/T 16716.2-2018, definition 3.6]
3.3
Organic recycling
Through microbial activity, the controlled biological treatment of the biodegradable
components of used packaging material which produce compost and, in the case of
anaerobic digestion, also methane.
Note: Landfilling is not considered as organic recycling.
[ISO 18606:2013, definition 3.9]
4 Basic requirements
4.1 Packaging shall reduce the amount of materials on the premise of fully protecting
the product, meeting safety, sanitary and environmental requirements, and meeting
consumer needs.
4.2 Packaging design and manufacturing shall give priority to non-toxic, harmless,
environmentally-friendly, and single-material packaging materials.
4.3 The production of composite packaging materials should adopt processing
technology that is easy to disassemble.
4.4 Packaging materials, which are recyclable, recoverable and reusable, easily
degradable, and produced using recycled materials, should be given priority.
4.5 The total content of lead, cadmium, mercury, and hexavalent chromium in
packaging and packaging materials shall not exceed 100 mg/kg.
4.6 The design, production, and use of packaging products shall comply with the
provisions of GB/T 32161 and GB/T 31268.
4.7 The production and manufacture of packaging shall meet the relevant requirements
of "Evaluation Index System of Cleaner Production in Packaging Industry (Trial)".
4.8 The printing of packaging products shall comply with the provisions of CY/T 132.2.
4.9 The production of plastic packaging products shall comply with the provisions of
HJ 209.
4.10 Food and cosmetic packaging shall comply with the provisions of GB 23350.
4.11 The design, manufacture and use of packaging materials, containers and auxiliary
materials shall facilitate their classification, recycling and disposal after they become
wastes. The recycling and disposal methods can be implemented with reference to
Annex A.
Annex A
(Informative)
Recycling and disposal methods of various types of packaging and packaging
waste
A.1 Recycling
A.1.1 Material recycling
When the packaging waste is easy to identify, separate and classify; and when effective
technical measures can be taken in the production process, to regenerate it into a product
that meets the standard requirements or has use value according to the determined
component content; it shall be recycled in the form of material recycling.
A.1.2 Energy recovery
When the product residue in the packaging container is not easy to remove; or when it
is not easy to identify, separate or classify itself, and contains a certain amount of
organic matter, that is, has a minimum calorific value and can obtain effective heat
through combustion; it shall be recycled in the form of energy recovery.
A.1.3 Organic recycling
When the packaging waste is general municipal solid waste not mixed with harmful
substances, and its components contain plant fibers or degradable materials; and when
it can be biodegraded in an aerobic environment to produce organic compost, or it can
produce biogas in an anaerobic environment and at the same time obtain organic
compost; it shall be recycled in a biodegradable way. The organic compost shall meet
the requirements of arable soil.
A.2 Disposal methods
A.2.1 Paper packaging containers and materials
A.2.1.1 Plant fiber products such as paper boxes and cartons shall be treated according
to the requirement...
