PVC packaging film has excellent performance and is widely used in winding packaging of various foods, beverages, wires, cables, various building materials and irregular valuables. However, its environmental protection and application safety issues are also unavoidable in the industry.

PVC packaging film has excellent performance and is widely used in winding packaging of various foods, beverages, wires, cables, various building materials and irregular valuables. However, its environmental protection and application safety issues are also unavoidable in the industry.
PVC has good transparency, good oil resistance, good barrier to water vapor and oxygen, and good corrosion resistance to acid, alkali, salt and many other substances. The use of vinyl chloride monomer stock of low food and polyvinyl chloride resin and non-toxic additives, can be made in line with national standards, can be directly contact with the packaging of beverages, food and drugs plastic packaging. However, once the content of vinyl chloride monomer exceeds the standard or inappropriate additives are selected, it may cause safety problems in contact with food during the use of PVC packaging films. On the other hand, PVC packaging film waste will also have a serious adverse impact on the ecological environment. It is based on this, the international environmental protection departments of many countries or regions have promulgated relevant laws and regulations to prohibit or restrict the extensive use of PVC, Europe banned the use of PVC as a food packaging material in 1992, Japan also banned the use of PVC packaging in 2000. According to the announcement of the Council of the World Packaging Organization, Japan, Singapore, South Korea and European countries have completely banned PVC as a packaging material; Taiwan, China has also introduced the "Waste Cleaning Law", which expressly stipulates that PVC will be banned as a packaging material from 2006.
In China, in addition to the widespread concern about the safety of PVC cling film, there are PVC twist film, PVC heat shrinkable film, PVC twist film for candy packaging direct contact with candy, its impact and cling film.
Some media have conducted a survey on the market prospect of PVC packaging film. The results show that more than 42% of readers think that PVC packaging film will completely withdraw from the food, medical and other packaging markets, which shows the impact of PVC safety problems caused by PVC plastic wrap on the market. On the other hand, about 27% of readers think that PVC packaging film will occupy a dominant position through the development of new additives, 19% of readers believe that PVC is difficult to be completely replaced by other materials, which can be seen in the industry's rational understanding of PVC packaging from performance to new technology applications.
It is not difficult to see that the further development of PVC market and application will largely depend on the development and application of new additives, otherwise environmental protection and safety issues will become a huge obstacle to the development of PVC market.
