Abstract

The work aims to explore the full value-chain reconfiguration pathways and synergistic driving mechanisms for the green-smart transformation of packaging enterprises, to address the issues of insufficient value-chain synergy and unclear integration mechanisms between green objectives and digital technologies such transformation. Taking the green-smart transformation of packaging enterprises as the research subject, this paper constructed a "Green-Smart-Value" (GSV) synergistic driving model from the perspective of full value-chain reconfiguration. A case study is conducted on Sichuan Yibin Plustec Packaging Materials Co., Ltd. to validate the model pathways and their operational mechanisms. The findings indicated that green design drove value creation through source optimization; intelligent manufacturing enhanced production transparency, resource allocation efficiency, and environmental performance via digital technologies; and digital services extended packaging value toward data-driven and service-oriented dimensions. The full value-chain reconfiguration facilitated the shift of packaging enterprises from a manufacturing-oriented logic to a value-creation orientation, thereby synergistically improving economic, environmental, and social values. Furthermore, innovation platform development, digital capability enhancement, and industrial ecosystem collaboration served as critical enablers for sustaining the green-smart transformation. In conclusions, this study confirms the applicability of the GSV model in the green-smart transformation of packaging enterprises, provides a systematic practical pathway for enterprises pursuing green low-carbon development and digital upgrading, and offers theoretical references for the sustainable development of the packaging industry.
