Express packaging is recyclable, and it is still difficult to break through the obstacles

In the past two years, many departments and related enterprises have vigorously promoted recyclable express packaging to accelerate the “green revolution” of express packaging. However, in the express delivery currently received by consumers, traditional packaging such as cartons and foam boxes still accounts for the majority, and recyclable express packaging is still rare. Mailer shipping box

In December 2020, the “Opinions on Accelerating the Green Transformation of Express Packaging” jointly issued by the National Development and Reform Commission and other eight departments proposed that by 2025, the application scale of recyclable express packaging nationwide will reach 10 million, and express packaging will basically achieve green transformation. In recent years, many e-commerce and express delivery companies have also launched recyclable express packaging. However, despite the increasing investment in recyclable packaging, it is still rare in the end-consumption chain. Shipping boxMailer Shipping Box-2 (1)

 

 

Recyclable express packaging is difficult to achieve a virtuous circle. There are many reasons for this situation, but one of them cannot be ignored is that recyclable express packaging has brought trouble to both enterprises and consumers. For enterprises, the use of recyclable express packaging will increase costs. For example, it is necessary to establish a system for the distribution, recycling, and scrapping of recyclable packaging, to invest more in R&D and management costs, and to change the delivery habits of couriers. In addition, recyclable express packaging needs to be unpacked by couriers and consumers before recycling, which makes consumers and couriers feel troublesome. In addition, from the source to the end, recyclable express packaging lacks the motivation to promote and accept it, but there are many resistances. Recyclable express packaging is a powerful tool to effectively reduce packaging waste such as express delivery. In order to enable the smooth implementation of recyclable express packaging, it is necessary to turn these resistances into driving forces. mailer box

In this regard, it is necessary for relevant departments to help enterprises reduce operating costs and increase the motivation of enterprises to implement recyclable express packaging. At present, the industry has not established a unified and standardized recyclable express packaging production and recycling process, which is undoubtedly not conducive to the development of the industry. Breaking the barriers and forming a unified circular packaging operation model has become a top priority. In addition, appropriate incentives should be given to consumers, such as giving corresponding coupons and points to consumers who cooperate with express packaging recycling, and adding recyclable packaging recycling points in communities and other places. Of course, it is not only necessary to encourage consumers to cooperate with recycling work, but also to conduct corresponding assessments on couriers. Couriers with high packaging recycling completion rates should also be rewarded accordingly, so as to encourage couriers to promote packaging recycling and open up recyclable express packaging.last mile”.

Faced with the dilemma of cold recyclable express packaging, it is necessary to activate the enthusiasm of enterprises, couriers, consumers and other parties to participate. It is necessary for all parties to recognize and assume their own social responsibilities, to be able to keep the soil and take part in the battle to reduce the amount of express waste and reduce waste pollution. It is necessary to tighten the chain of responsibility and form an all-round comprehensive environmental protection management system from the source, the middle end to the end, so that the recyclable express packaging and other tools to control garbage pollution can be unimpeded, remove the blocking points in the implementation process, and realize a virtuous circle, so that the Circular express packaging became popular. Clothing box
