2012年我国在限制过度包装上取得的新进展主要体现在三方面：①过度包装问题已得到新修订的《清洁生产促进法》明确提及；②各地政府作出了一些努力，以期落实现有的法规政策；③民间观察和调研持续，为政府和公众认清问题症结、共同寻找解决方案提供了有效参考。然而，以上进步与有效缓解过度包装问题还有很大距离，需在立法、执法和公众参与上作出更多努力。
Commodity packaging is closely interrelated to sustainable consumption while limiting excessive packaging is an important way to achieve sustainable development. In 2012,there was some progress with regard to limiting excessive packaging in Chinese society:(1) Excessive packaging was explicitly incorporated in the new amended Cleaner Production Law.(2) Regional and local governments have taken some measures to implement the existing laws and policies.(3) Civil society's observation and investigation continued,providing good reference to governments and citizens for better understanding the issue and finding potential solutions all together. However,the above progress is far behind the rapidly increasing negative impacts brought by excessive packaging,and more efforts need to be made on legislation,law implementation and public participation.
