In accordance with the excessive packaging restriction regulations, this project set up documents and procedures for packaging testing and training materials. Our company also completed personnel training and updated packaging test procedures when necessary. Our company set up three test centers, and submitted 9 quarterly work reports and 2 midterm reports to Environmental Protection Administration. Up to December 31, 2007, we received totally 1,467 samples, including 609 pastry gift boxes, 96 cosmetics gift boxes, 312 alcoholic beverage gift boxes, 312 processed food gift boxes, and 123 computer software optical disks. According to the statistical data, there are two peaks of test loads. One is from June to August and the other is Chinese New Year. This can be explained by the enforcement date of the excessive packaging restriction policy and the sales of gift boxes for the Chinese New Year and the Mid-Autumn Festival. Our company totally carried out 25 internal audits, 5 on-job trainings, and 1 training and test for the 33 staffs implementing this project. The Environmental Protection Administration also carried out 4 project audits.
