Hunan Lido in Hangzhou: Pioneering a New Path for Green Packaging to Lead the Wave of Sustainable Development in the Catering Industry
From July 31 to August 1, 2025, the M.SUCCESS HUAKE – China Catering Packaging Innovation & Development Conference was grandly held in Hangzhou.
This industry event, which brought together globally renowned food and beverage brands such as Starbucks and Häagen-Dazs, served as a trendsetter for the future of catering packaging.
Under the spotlight, Hunan Lido made a notable appearance as an important invited exhibitor and delivered a keynote speech titled "New Pathways for Green Packaging" at the main forum,
offering practical and feasible new ideas for the industry's green transformation.
Against the backdrop of the "dual carbon" goals guiding new consumer trends, the green upgrade of catering packaging has shifted from a "bonus option" to a "mandatory requirement."
In its opening remarks, Lido directly addressed the industry's pain points: traditional food packaging materials are difficult to degrade, creating a sharp contradiction with the growing environmental demands of the catering sector. Take takeaway packaging alone — it generates millions of tons of plastic waste annually, making it urgent to find alternatives that are recyclable, reusable, and easily degradable.
The "new pathway" proposed by Lido centers on a materials revolution and model innovation driven by technological empowerment.
Its newly developed water-based barrier paper products — biodegradable paper-based packaging materials — have passed authoritative certifications such as the China National Light Industry Council and Germany's DIN Home Compost standard. These products have already achieved large-scale mass production, providing a green "China solution" for the global packaging industry.
The advantages of water-based barrier products include:
Environmental performance – directly recyclable, repulpable, and home-compostable.
Safety – no release of harmful substances at high temperatures.
Unique production technology – in-machine coating that reduces costs and improves efficiency.
These features won wide recognition from attendees, while the on-site product display also attracted strong interest from industry guests.
Lido's strong presence in Hangzhou not only highlighted its leadership in the green packaging sector but also showcased the capability and commitment of Chinese environmental technology enterprises in addressing global sustainable development challenges.
As environmental protection becomes a defining issue of our time, the green packaging pathway charted by Lido in Hangzhou has lit a beacon for the low-carbon transformation of the entire catering industry chain. From materials innovation to system building, from technological breakthroughs to the promotion of green concepts, Hunan Lido is putting sustainability into action — proving that truly sustainable packaging is both a product of technology for good and a solemn commitment of business civilization to the future of our planet.
The pioneering of this pathway will undoubtedly accelerate the catering packaging industry's journey toward a greener future.
