As the new green and low-carbon material in the real product packaging would be put into great use in the future, this research prospected the promising application of green and low-carbon packaging materials in China. According to the connotation of green and low-carbon packaging materials, the current application status of packaging materials in China was analyzed and how to make packaging materials to meet the green and low-carbon standard was discussed, especially focusing on current problems about green and low-carbon packing materials in China. The comparative analysis of the gap between developed countries was made. On the basis of the actual application of green packaging materials in China, five countermeasures of promoting usage of green and low-carbon packaging materials in the practical application were listed. Through analyzing the current application and the connotation of green and low-carbon packaging materials, this paper proposed that the new green and low-carbon packaging materials would be largely used in the packaging industry in our country in the future.
