On December 10, 2025, the "2025 Green Packaging Industry-Education Integration Innovation Conference and National Packaging Vocational Education Working Meeting" was grandly held at Guangzhou Huashang Vocational College (GHVC). Co-hosted by the National Packaging Vocational Education Steering Committee and the National Packaging Intelligent Manufacturing Industry-Education Integration Community, the conference focused on promoting the green and intelligent high-quality development of the packaging industry, deepening the integration of industry, education, and science, and gathered experts, academics, and industry leaders.

Industry-Academia Collaboration Kicks Off New Chapter

As a National Specialized, Refined, Special, and New "Little Giant" enterprise and a national certified reference material development unit, GBPI was invited to the conference. At the event, GBPI and GHVC officially signed a school-enterprise cooperation agreement. Both parties will collaborate on green packaging talent cultivation, joint technological research, and practical training base construction, collectively building an integrated "Industry-Academia-Research-Application" innovation ecosystem.

Leaders witnessing the signing included: Lu Kunjian (GHVC President), Huang Junbin (Vice President), Zhao Yongfeng (Vice President), Han Xueshan (Vice Chairman and Secretary-General, China Packaging Federation - CPF), Wu Hongjun (Deputy Secretary-General, CPF), and Zhou Xuehui (GBPI General Manager).

During the meeting, many industry experts and teachers visited the GBPI booth, focusing on the technical principles and applications of core testing equipment, such as the Water Vapor Transmission Rate Tester. They highly praised the equipment's accuracy and intelligence, recognizing its technical support for the R&D and quality control of green packaging materials.

For years, GBPI has been committed to establishing close partnerships with universities and research institutions, accumulating rich experience in industry-academia-research integration. GBPI maintains in-depth collaboration with numerous prestigious universities (e.g., Tsinghua University, Peking University, Sun Yat-sen University, etc.) on key topics like packaging material innovation, testing technology upgrades, and green production process optimization, injecting strong momentum into industry development.

This collaboration aligns closely with the green and intelligent transformation trend of the packaging industry and serves as a pragmatic measure towards achieving national "Dual Carbon" goals and green manufacturing policies, offering a replicable model for industry-education integration. GBPI will use this agreement as an opportunity to continually deepen synergy with vocational colleges, accelerate the transformation of research findings, and contribute to the high-quality development and sustainable green transition of the packaging industry.
