Processing and definition of excessive packaging of goods (2)

Third, the definition of excessive packaging of goods

What is over-packaging of goods? The so-called over-packaging of goods is generally speaking that goods are unreasonably overriding the conventional category on the packaging and directly or indirectly harm the interests of consumers. These include: (1) Misleading consumers due to over-packaging of goods causes consumers to suffer direct losses. (2) Unfair competition caused by excessive packaging of goods disrupts market order and ultimately harms the overall interests of consumers. (3) Over-consumption of commodities causes excessive consumption of various natural and social resources that affect the overall sustainable development of society.

Under the existing economic conditions, the definition of excessive packaging of goods should take into account various factors such as the direct interests of consumers, the laws of market economy, and resources and environment. Such as:

(1) Value of commodity packaging: due to the difference in market consumption levels, the demand for the diversity of commodity packaging (no packaging, less packaging, simple packaging, general packaging, and luxury packaging) coexist, eliminating the consumer's deception and coercion of commodity packaging. Under the premise of use, the cost of product packaging should not be a parameter to define excessive packaging. That is to say, the luxury packaging of high-priced products should indicate the actual value of the contents, and consumers have room for choice. The normal commodity value system including commodity packaging satisfies the regulation of market economic value.

(2) Packaging volume: As the deliberate exaggeration of the outer packaging volume of goods has obvious misleading consumption, the deliberately exaggerated packaging volume will occupy additional commodity circulation resources, and the overpacking of commodity volume is often favored by merchants in some fields. Therefore, the volume of commodity packaging (mainly empty volume) should be one of the main parameters for defining excessive packaging of goods.

(3) Packaging materials: Packaging materials are used for man-made or natural resources. Many well-performing packaging materials are difficult to dispose of, and large quantities of them are also responsible for the living environment. It is precisely because the cost of subsequent disposal of packaging waste is borne by the society. Make these packaging materials have a good price for the business. Therefore, under the current situation that resources and environment have become the main considerations for the sustainable development of the economy and society, the packaging materials used by the products and their consumption should be defined as the basis for excessive packaging of goods. The specific method is to analyze the consumption of resources and waste disposal methods for various packaging materials and set the resource environment coefficient. The waste disposal cost factor has more influence on the resource environment factor than the resource consumption factor because the former is not a business. It is easy for consumers to adopt the product directly with consumers.

The restriction of over-packaging behavior of goods has long-term significance, and the scientific, reasonable and stable control method should be consistent with the construction of a harmonious society and sustainable economic development strategy. Therefore, it is practically feasible to use the data fitting and restricting processing method to define the overpacking of goods in the above three aspects.

Because the study on the distribution law of the parameters defined by the above overpackaging is still at the initial stage, when we study the distribution of many random process data in nature, we find that the normal distribution function can be used to perform fitting processing to obtain relatively satisfactory results. The state distribution function to perform fitting and processing on the above-mentioned over packaging data of the commodity becomes a relatively reasonable and practical method, which is specifically as follows:

Collect relevant data from different manufacturers in the market that have the same attributes as the defined goods as processing sample data (determine the number of samples according to processing accuracy requirements);

Use the following formula to determine the residual error SD

Where: xi - is the sample variable, n - is the number of samples - is the mean of the sample variables
