IS GREEN-BLUE PACKAGING ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY?

Todays, the world had been aware of the importance of environmental protection, unquestionably it is a difficult and challenging work if government would like to implement a comprehensive environmental protection work. Subsequently, the others develop countries started to educate their nation the related information regarding environmental protection such as ECO Bag especially Malaysia government is putting many effort on this segment. 

The Malaysia’s government and the merchant have a consensus to implement the environment protection work. For example Selangor had been stated environment protection day will he held on every Saturday. When you go to shopping on Saturday, the shopping center will not provide the plastic bag, and thus encourage every people to bring the ECO Bag together for shopping. Other this, there are some rewards to get as well. 

At the north of Malaysia like Penang, the poly ridge has also banned for used in year 2010. To avoid any serious pollution of the environment, the government has done a lot of the similar activities to encourage customers and citizens, pay more attention and to understand the importance of environmental protection. 

In order to cater to the environmental protection education of the government, the merchants and producers are encouraged to do more commodity packaging design links and color majority in green and blue as encourage to build up the natural green environment.

The GREEN-BLUE PACKAGING system are packaging materials that is economically robust and provides benefit throughout its life cycle. It is a safe and sustainable product that can be disposed at landfills without treatment as well as useful for energy recovery. Green-Blue Packaging is aimed to substitute the widely used non bio-degradable polystyrene food containers, which contains toxic chemicals and has been choking the drainage and sewerage system of towns and cities, polluting the environment.

The advantages of Green-Blue Packaging:

WHAT IS RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES?

Renewable Energy Technologies is one of the category fall under Green Technologies. Which it can obtained from natural resources that can be constantly replenished like: BioEnergy, Geothermal Energy, Hydro-power, Ocean Energy, Solar Energy, and Wind Energy. With applying Renewable Energy Technologies, we hope it could reduce the environmentally damaging.

What is Renewable Energy Technologies?

As per our understanding, most renewable energy resources is comes either direct or indirectly from the sun. Sunlight, or we so called "Solar Energy", it can be used for direct heating or lighting homes and buildings. Solar Energy could be use for generate electricity, water heating, solar cooling and a variety of commercial industrial uses.

The sun's heat also drives the winds, Winds Energy, is captured with wind turbines. Then, the winds and the sun's heat cause water to evaporate. When this water vapor turns into rain or snow and flows downhill into rivers or streams, its energy can be captured using hydroelectric power.

Along with the rain and snow, sunlight causes plants to grow. The organic matter that makes up those plants is known as BioEnergy. Bio-Energy can be used to produce electricity, transportation fuels, or chemicals. The use of biomass for any of these purposes is called bioenergy.

Hydrogen also can be found in many organic compounds, as well as water. It's the most abundant element on the Earth. But it doesn't occur naturally as a gas. It's always combined with other elements, such as with oxygen to make water. Once separated from another element, hydrogen can be burned as a fuel or converted into electricity.

Not all renewable energy resources come from the sun. Geothermal energy taps the Earth's internal heat for a variety of uses, including electric power production, and the heating and cooling of buildings. And the energy of the ocean's tides come from the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun upon the Earth. 

In fact, ocean energy comes from a number of sources. In addition to tidal energy, there's the energy of the ocean's waves, which are driven by both the tides and the winds. The sun also warms the surface of the ocean more than the ocean depths, creating a temperature difference that can be used as an energy source. All these forms of ocean energy can be used to produce electricity.

Renewable Energy Technologies - SIRIM Malaysia

Malaysia as one of the country's leading energy and environmental technology research institutes, we welcomed the industrial and organizations in Malaysia to apply renewable energy technologies into their businesses. SIRIM Malaysia conducts strategic research and development of innovative technologies that support national economic growth by finding ways to mitigate climate change and ensure a clean environment. SIRIM is here ready to assist you, provide training, and services for environmental friendly development.

THE IMPORTANCE OF GREEN TECHNOLOGY

Today, more and more organizations, industries, and regulatory bodies are look seriously about the Green Technology, as it is become imperative today. Environmental technologies uses non-polluting practices to produce things and materials which are non toxic. Green technology are environment friendly rather than harm.

By applying these environmental technologies one can make their effort to help the environmental heal. Green technology isn't that tough as we thought, some easy environmentally friendly solutions are there still for everybody to follow.

"Developing a planned community, making less packaging for frozen foods, using Environmental friendly machines are just a few examples. One can go out and seek products that support green technology."

We should realized, for centuries we have been harm to our mother earth, especially in the late 80's. and today, it is our responsibilities to march a step ahead to save the environment and make our earth free from any harm or danger. We should understand, destroying the environment, can lead us into situations which can be irreversible.

Using environmental technologies, could reduce the usage of fossil fuel, which is very harmful and destroy to our environment. The scientist proven that, the energy production from green technology will be higher than fossil fuel sources of energy like oil, gas in the future.

Some other countries has foreseen the earths' energy resources depleting fast, in the next 20 years, we have to rely on alternative sources of energy. The sooner we realize the importance of using environmental technologies, the better it will be for our planet and environment. Therefore, the environmental technologies is not just important to us, but mandatory too in the coming years, and expected green technology will extend into more areas, to creating and produce products that are safer and more beneficiary to the environment.

The government of various countries are recognizing the need for using green technology. In Malaysia, as a leading center of environment technology research center, SIRIM (Standards & Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia) is ready to do its part to answer tomorrow's challenges today. SIRIM conducts strategic research and development of innovative technologies that support national economic growth by finding ways to mitigate climate change and ensure a clean environment. SIRIM's renewable energy and environmental protection services are accepted globally.

SIRIM encourage all the organizations, industries, and regulatory bodies move towards to Green Technology, and constantly finding new ways to better understand and mitigate the impact of industry on our environment.
