With the growth of online shopping scale, China's express delivery industry is rapidly expanding, and now there have been many conglomerates with annual revenues of tens of billions of yuan. Relevant departments should step up the introduction of binding policies and regulations to promote these giants to establish and improve express delivery green Packaging the entire industrial chain system, and gradually solve the existing over-packaging, recycling and low environmental pollution problems, to ensure China's express delivery industry to achieve high-quality development.
State Department Postmaster General Ma Junsheng pointed out at present that the express delivery in China has grown to 40 billion pieces each year and is still growing at the speed of about 10 billion pieces every year. More and more problems, Ma Jun Sheng said that such a large number of packaging how to deal with the delivery process is the development must face the problem, if not handled properly, for us to build a beautiful China is influential.
Last year, the national courier business volume was 33.4 times that of 2007 with an average annual growth rate of 42% over the past 10 years. China's courier business volume ranked the first in the world for four consecutive years, contributing more than 50% to the growth of the global package courier volume. Express industry from small to large rapid development, is inseparable from known as the 'new big four inventions' one of the online shopping. The rise of online shopping to reconstruct the Chinese shopping, driving the express delivery industry, but also brought more and more The more can not be ignored courier packaging garbage pollution problems.
China's courier industry has a large total amount of packaging, a large variety, rapid growth, the impact of courier packaging waste on the environment has become increasingly serious.At the same time, in order to avoid damage to the goods in transit, and provoke consumers' bad reviews, Most merchants in the express packaging are usually taken to 'people do not blame' over-packaging strategy in the express delivery process, the goods are usually first wrapped in plastic foam or other filler, then put a few layers of plastic bags, and then into Corrugated boxes, cartons and then tape was repeatedly wrapped, eventually being 'confused' to consumers before the over-packaging industry 'unspoken rules', so that the problem of courier rubbish worse.
The rapid development of online shopping has brought tremendous pressure on the environment and the express delivery of garbage has become imperative.At the end of last year, the State Post Bureau, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology and other 10 departments jointly released guidance on how to work together to promote green packaging in the express industry. Opinion clearly put forward the goal of green express delivery, by 2020, the proportion of degradable green packaging materials will be increased to 50% .In recent days, in order to achieve reduction, green, recyclable industry goals, AQSIQ, Standard Committee issued a new revision of the "express packaging supplies" series of national standards.New version of the national standard to encourage express delivery bags using biodegradable plastics, proposed under the premise of the standard courier boxes can be reused.
Recently, a series of policies released by relevant departments have undoubtedly played an important role in promoting the development of express garbage reduction and green express delivery. However, it is regrettable that the relevant national standard is still the recommended standard rather than the mandatory standard.
It is estimated that in 2016 the parcels of corrugated paper used in express parcels in China amount to about 72 million trees, and the statistics also show that the recovery rate of express crates in China is less than 20% .While causing huge loss of forestry resources, Of the solid waste pollution problem is shocking.Express delivery of plastic bags, tapes, foam fill, etc., are basically non-degradable 'white garbage' Most of these solid waste and domestic waste disposal, either incineration or landfill, Causing serious erosion of the environment.The grim reality is looking forward to the relevant national standards after a period of time running into a mandatory standard, thus accelerating the realization of green courier.
In fact, the courier industry is not lack of green ideas and goodwill.Electronic commerce platform launched a recyclable 'shared courier box' instead of commonly used corrugated boxes at the end of last year, a move that has become an important breakthrough in the development of green courier. At present, what is lacking is that environmental protection coercive force from national policies and regulations can be popularized and popularized only when enough external force is strong enough to allow more green ideas to sprout in order to get rid of good ideas and obstacles in operating modes and costs. .
With the growth of online shopping scale, China's express delivery industry is rapidly expanding, and now there have been many conglomerates with annual revenues of tens of billions of yuan. Relevant departments should step up the introduction of binding policies and regulations to promote these giants to establish and improve express delivery green Packaging the entire industrial chain system, and gradually solve the existing over-packaging, recycling and low environmental pollution problems, to ensure China's express delivery industry to achieve high-quality development.
