Ecological Packaging Certificate

Packing system; The raw materials to be used in the production of packaging, the production of packaging material, packaging, distribution and distribution of any product and the disposal of packaging products that have become idle progress. The use of natural resources, energy consumption and high water need, the damage caused by the disposal of the soil, waste gases, water, air, soil environment, waste water and soil and water environment adversely affects disadvantages. One-way and two-way packaging systems can create a permanent load in nature. This factor, which creates pollution in ecological systems without degradation for centuries, has to be made ecologically sustainable.

Packaging is used in all stages of production from raw material supply to final product, delivered to the manufacturer, user and consumer, product deterioration, impact, moisture and so on. non-refundable products that are involved in the protection, storage and marketing of physical impacts. Packaging manufacturer, expiry date, product content, usage package insert, etc. information. The packaging product must be protected, should not cause negative effects on living health / natural conditions, be sterile, safe and easy to distribute and store. The criteria specified in the Regulation on Control of Packaging Wastes should be in accordance.

Criteria 1: If it is not an integral part of the product, which is suitable for identification, it is not necessary to host, support or protect the product for a lifetime, all parts are considered as packaging if they are not used, consumed and disposed of together. In this case, the CD film, paste purchased with pastry, tape roll, glass bottle containing injection solution, matchbox, refillable gas tube, sterile barrier system and so on. Packing is accepted while candle container, DVD box, mechanical hand grinder, sausage etc. membrane, flower pot, tea bag packaging is not accepted.

Criteria 2: Disposable products used for filling at the time of sale are accepted as packaging. In this case, paper, plastic tora, aluminum foil, adhesive film, plates, cups are classified as packaging, mixer, fork, knife, paper baking cup, pastry mat (without pastry), packaging paper is not classified as packaging.

Criteria 3: Packaging components, supporting, auxiliary and integral parts are considered as packaging part. For this reason, the parts that are directly attached to the product or hanged are considered as packaging if they are not used, consumed and disposed of with the product. In this case, the label is referred to as a package, such as staples, plastic sheaths, dosing material forming part of the lid in the detergent package, adhesive labels attached to the package, mascara brush forming part of the lid and the like. packaging part. The radio frequency identification label is not considered as packaging.

Ecological packaging is a product that can be registered in return for meeting and testing certain parameters. In the package design, parameters such as minimizing dimensions, reducing the amount of energy consumed, product volume and packaging rate are also available. The packaging must meet the criteria for its intended use and should not have a negative impact on its contact with the product. The most important parameter is material selection. Plastic, paper and cardboard, metal, wood, textile, glass and composite materials are used in packaging production. In the production of ecological packaging bioplastic and so on. nature-soluble or recyclable raw materials should be used.

Thermoplastic, starch, cellulose esters, chitosan, PEF (poly ethylene furanoate), PGA (polyglycolic acid), PLA (poly lactic acid), PHB (poly-3-hydroxy butyrate) in sustainable packaging (recovery, reuse and material reduction) Bioplastics such as, PHV (poly hydroxy valerate), PHAs (poly-ß-hydroxy alkanoate) are used.

Today, ecological packaging production is supported by manufacturers and controllers. Evaluation of parameters required for registration of ecological packaging production in accordance with European Union standards © Ecomare is performed by. The Ecomark © Standard, created and developed by Ecomark ©, is a standard that covers all product groups that concern Turkish markets. Following the necessary examinations and evaluations, the organizations that own the Ecomark © Label prove that they are the ones that take care in protecting the environment and living health, are responsible for the future generations and are responsible for raising awareness for the consumers. In addition, when ecological packaging production is realized, storage space is saved in enterprises, transportation costs are reduced and carbon footprint is reduced and ecological sensitivity is ensured.
