The implementation of green packaging strategy for the promotion of Green Logistics Development     Abstract: At present, the use of packaging on the market often resulted in waste of resources and environmental pollution. And the implementation of green packaging it would help to reduce the flow of pollution and optimize the living environment, but also improve their international competitiveness, export promotion, trade development, is also conducive to the implementation of sustainable development strategies. But there exists the concept of knowledge because China has a one-sided, green packaging legislation is weak, the lack of capital and technology talent, a serious shortage of green packaging requirements and other factors, hindered China's green packaging strategy for full implementation. To promote the implementation of green packaging green logistics development strategy that we should proceed with both the government and enterprises, the Government has focused on strengthening the legal system, to give policy support, while also playing the role of tax leverage. Enterprises to strengthen awareness of green packaging, green packaging logo of the implementation and the use of green packaging materials.      Key words: green packaging; environment; Green Logistics           Green packaging is made from natural plant as raw materials, both able to cycle and recycle, but also easy-to-degrade for socio-economic sustainable development, throughout the life cycle of the product will not endanger the environment, human and animal health in an environmentally friendly packaging. Green Logistics is the use of advanced logistics technology to reduce environmental pollution, reduce resource consumption as the goal, planning and implementation of a range of logistics activities 1. Green logistics activities constitute the factors are related with the green packaging, packaging and logistics development in the green plays an important role in the implementation of green packaging strategy can promote the development of green logistics.           1, packing the impact of green logistics           1. Empty packaging to the negative impact of the social environment. This package packaged goods in the whole package a small proportion. In addition to its deceptive lure consumer spending, but also to the social environment had a negative impact. Empty packaging is essentially a waste of resources and energy, this package once consumers find a pile of waste will be turned into worthless; empty packaging waste and pollution in the city an important source of empty packaging is see through Truth, consumers are often burned to dispose of, in the disposal process will form a large number of harmful toxic gases.      2. Excessive packaging creates a tremendous waste of resources and environmental pollution. Only emphasized the modification of excessive packaging, most characterized by a multi-level. Too much packaging, not only allowed producers to increase production costs, so that consumers spend more money wasted, but also resulted in a waste of resources and environmental pollution. Most packaging to be thrown into the trash, and the Chinese urban and rural areas have an annual production of 400 million tons of garbage, of which 60% of solid waste is packaging. Excessive packaging to increase the amount of urban garbage disposal and handling charges.      3. Packing involves the whole logistics service level, the level of economic and social benefits. In the process of production and logistics, packaging and production activities both at the end, but also at the starting point for logistics activities. But the package as a starting point for logistics activities than its role as a much larger role in production activities end. Packaging always exist in every aspect of logistics activities. Logistics handling, transportation, storage, distribution and transportation activities to achieve efficiency and quality and packaging are directly related. What kind of materials used product packaging, containers, technology and structure will affect the quality and efficiency of logistics activities 2.      4. Packing for other logistics functions to guarantee the normal play. Entity through the packaged goods to transport, handling, storage handling activities to be carried out easily and quickly. At the same time packaging logistics network ensures the controllability, and information management is a key element of modern logistics standardization, however, information of all sorts of products through product packaging can reflect and be reflected.      5. Packing a direct impact on export trade. With all peoples awareness of environmental protection and health, with green packaging products to win the consumer market. Now export trade increasingly stringent environmental standards and regulations, the green trade barriers will become a major export trade barriers, does not meet the green standards of the importing country the product is either in the export volume and export markets is limited, or is to be subject to a very high import surcharges, or appeared in a bilateral or multilateral trade tensions and trigger trade frictions. Chinese products, packaging and environmental regulations in developed countries there is a big gap between the requirements of some importing countries, domestic companies ignore packaging requirements and regulations, resulting in products can not enter the importing countries, making export trade has suffered huge losses.           Second, the significance of the development of green packaging           1. The development of green packaging, reduce pollution, circulation, optimize the living environment. Green packaging has to save materials, rational use of materials, recyclable reproduction and so on. Green packaging recycling of packaging materials, there are clearly defined. Green packaging its connotation requirements are: a minimum of packaging waste minimization regard, stresses, structural optimization, material consumption reduced; renewable or biodegradable packaging that demonstrate ease of recycling; packaging to highlight the waste does not produce re-contamination; packing materials to do as much as possible from natural materials and renewable resources. Optimization of these requirements in reducing pollution, the role of the living environment is obvious.      2. To speed up the construction of green packaging and improve international competitiveness. The development of green packaging companies will bring tremendous economic benefits. Into the WTO, the green barriers gradually replace the traditional tariff barriers and the rise. Enterprises to enter the international market pass ISO14000, which requires enterprises to establish and improve environmental management system, all aspects of its business activities on the environmental impact minimized.      3. The implementation of green packaging, export promotion, trade development. Green packaging, in line with the concept of environmental protection, people of all countries, export products will not be subject to restrictions on the importing countries in this area, saving the cost of export products and enhance competitiveness in the international market, but also can reduce trade friction, export promotion, trade development.      4. Green packaging strategy is conducive to promoting sustainable development strategy. Because the packaging is inevitable in all aspects of use of resources will inevitably lead to a certain degree of environmental pollution, so in order to achieve sustainable development, should take positive measures to maintain the natural ecological environment. Green packaging emphasized saving resources and protecting the environment, development concept, the implementation of green packaging is essentially a socio-economic sustainable development measures. The development of green packaging, will better protect the natural environment and bring more obvious economic and social benefits, thus promoting sustainable development strategy.           Third, China's barriers to the implementation of green packaging           1. The concept of awareness has a one-sided. Lags behind the development of green packaging, green packaging knowledge of people still stop at the concept level. True sense of the green packaging idea not to establish, much less the development of a forward-looking. But also created a misunderstanding of the green on the packaging community to easily degradable materials, packaging and paper packaging as a synonym for green packaging. The meaning of green packaging and whether caused by environmental pollution and resource waste after use if re-use of this requirement is often ignored.      2. Green packaging legislation is weak. Comparison with Western countries, China's green packaging legislation in a backward state. Despite the promulgation of the "Solid Waste Pollution Prevention and Control Law" and other relevant laws and regulations, but no special packaging regulations. Cause irregularities in packing there is no corresponding laws and regulations, sanctions, can not guide enterprises to reduce environmental costs and a conscious effort to develop, produce, use of green packaging materials and green packaging.      3. Green Packaging development was capital-and technology personnel constraints. Production of green packaging need to adopt advanced technology, and thus the cost of green packaging products are often higher than traditional packaging products on the market green packaging products to compete with the traditional packaging products, the loss of price advantage, resulting in green packaging products in the market at a competitive disadvantage 3.      Green Packaging is a high-tech development of technology supported. Compared with developed countries, China's packaging industry technology gap is manifested in: a shortage of high-precision and large products, packaging products supporting a small number; product quality, poor performance, styling look behind, life is not long; production of large-scale and high-grade corporate few in number, leading enterprises is the lack of; self-development capacity is not strong, the lack of scientific research and production test base, the basic still stuck in the imitation stage. The main reason for this situation: first, poor macro-control, resulting in many areas of investment and development of new products herd. Followed by insufficient capital investment, due to lack of funds, resulting in inability to develop new business products to a lack of market competitiveness. The third is the lack of professional and technical personnel, independent product development and innovation capability is weak.      4. A serious shortage of domestic demand for green packaging. Green consumption in China has not yet become a mainstream way. People still stop at green packaging concept level. Green packaging as a green product, because it requires high-tech, research and development costs are high, demand is not high, thereby constraining its rapid and large-scale promotion. Also affected the enterprises to expand reproduction, can not be economies of scale.           Fourth, the implementation of ideas and strategies for green packaging           (A) Government      1. Strengthen the legal system. The law is an effective coercive tool. Sound and legal system, can ensure the smooth operation of green packaging system, so that green packaging production, circulation and use of a legal basis for a legally binding form to promote and regulate the development of green packaging. In green packaging legislation, China has been in a state of backwardness. This will require departments to actively and timely to formulate appropriate laws, policies, support and protect the green packaging enterprises and their products, while those who do not meet the requirements of the development of green packaging enterprises should a deadline for correction. In the formulation of legislation, it is necessary to combine the actual situation in China, but also with international standards, promote the healthy development of green packaging.

Government macro-control, construction, packaging deposit, resource recovery and incentives, the green system of subsidies for the development of green packaging industry to create the conditions; to promote market demands and to increase revenue, promote environmentally friendly lifestyles and consumption patterns, so that the concept of in-depth environmental protection hearts; the Government should resource recycling of packaging production enterprises operate strongly encouraged in the project approval, market access, taxation, credit granting preferential policies; to establish a special fund to increase capital investment, optimize the packaging structure, improve the quality of packaging industry; right the import and export of green packaging materials to give concessions in terms of tariffs and quotas and so on.      3. To play a tax leverage. In order to reduce the use of natural resources, encourage the use of recycled materials, can play a role of taxation is to open the packaging of the new taxes. For the use of different packaging materials, packaging impose a different tax rate. For the green packing they should be tax-free. Fully reflects the tax efficiency. The difference between taxes imposed by packaging, both those who use green packaging to reduce the relative price of the product, but also improve the packaging waste that require special handling or packaging of the product difficult to recover the cost of an incentive for producers using green packaging, thereby promoting the development of green packaging.      (B) enterprises      1. Strengthen the awareness of green packaging. At present many companies a weak awareness of green packaging. In the "Green Wave" era of green packaging as an enterprise should be increased awareness and establish a scientific concept of development. Enterprises should understand that not all restrictions on imports of goods are harmful to the environment of trade protectionism; companies should be aware that in order for the sustainable development, constraints, or even punish the acts of pollution and damage to the environment is necessary; companies should clearly recognize that the development of Green packaging both reduce energy consumption costs, reduce pollution, but also enhance the corporate image, but also increase consumer recognition and trust of the enterprise, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of products in the market.      2. Package marks the implementation of green. Under the impetus of the green wave, people buying merchandise from mo
