There are still more than a month before the Double 11, major e-commerce and logistics enterprises have already entered a state of readiness, holding a double 11 logistics service mobilization meeting, raising the express delivery fee to scramble for "courier boys", the release of a series of logistics black technology and so on. Behind the various marketing layouts of "splashing flowers and becoming attractive eyes", a huge amount of express rubbish has surfaced again.

"Economic Reference" reporter learned that the express garbage increment has accounted for 90% of the garbage increment, this year's package volume will reach the highest level in 10 years, when the express garbage will also set an astonishing record. At present, the government and enterprises are accelerating the development of green logistics, and a package of green logistics schemes will come out. Industry insiders pointed out that China's green logistics also faces many challenges, such as imperfect standards and regulations, lack of incentives and so on. It is urgent to improve policies and measures to mobilize the active participation of all parties.

Express package garbage increments amazing

According to the data released by the State Post Office, in the first half of this year, the national express delivery business has maintained a rapid growth, with a total of 22.08 billion pieces expected to be completed, exceeding the total express delivery business in 2015. Double 11 will be in sight, huge package will hit again. Sun Kang, deputy chairman and secretary-general of China Express Association, said that this year's package volume will reach a 10-year high and set a new world record.

Huge parcels not only test the operation capacity of express logistics industry, but also the increment of express parcels garbage. According to data released by the State Post Office, the total length of the tape used for packaging express delivery last year alone was 425 circles around the Earth's equator. The actual recovery rate of cardboard and plastic was less than 10%, and the overall recovery rate of packaging was less than 20%. Other data show that in China's mega-cities, express packaging garbage has accounted for 93% of the increase in domestic garbage, and some large cities are 85% to 90%.

"About 60% of express packages are packaged in cartons, 50% of packages are plastic bags, 45% are woven bags, 87% are taped, and more than 30% of boxes are filled with cushions of different materials, all of which cause a lot of rubbish." Wang Xuanqing, deputy director of the Ministry of commerce circulation development department, said earlier.

It is reported that packaging waste is mainly made of paper and plastic, and most of the raw materials come from wood and oil. Transparent tape, plastic bags and other materials commonly used in express packaging, the main raw materials are polyvinyl chloride, buried in the soil will take hundreds of years to degrade, will cause irreversible damage to the environment. In recent years, the proportion of plastic and paper has risen sharply, of which the proportion of non-degradable plastic garbage has risen from 12% to 23%, and the proportion of paper garbage has risen from 9% to 15%. "People are more concerned about the takeout of plastic lunch boxes and plastic bags garbage is very considerable, and greasy difficult to clean." Wang Xuanqing said. Industry insiders pointed out that in the face of "nowhere to put" a huge amount of express waste, the logistics industry needs to get rid of extensive "barbaric growth" and accelerate the transformation and upgrading.

Green logistics scheme speed up

Green logistics has long been a bugle call, especially since this year. Ma Junsheng, director of the State Postal Administration, said at this year's National Postal Management Conference that more enterprises should be guided and supported to participate in the "Green Express" campaign, promote the application of degradable plastic bags and other environmentally friendly packaging products, strengthen material management and advanced packaging technology application, and further reduce unit express packaging consumables.

The Interim Regulations for Express Delivery, which was formally implemented on May 1, this year, put forward the inclination towards green environment protection, and explicitly encouraged the use of degradable and reusable environmental protection packaging materials, so as to realize the reduction and reuse of packaging materials.

On September 1, the newly revised National Standards for Express Packaging Products (hereinafter referred to as "new edition of national standards") were formally implemented. According to the requirements of reduction, greening and recycling, the new edition of the national standard complements and improves the relevant aspects of the original standard.

Many places are also actively investigating the express green packaging work, put forward requirements for further promoting the express green packaging pilot work, including increasing scientific research, and constantly introduce green, reduced, recyclable packaging products. The business level, especially the electricity supplier, is particularly positive. The rookie said that during the period of "Double 11" last year, a "return plan" was launched at the rookie post station to encourage consumers to open the box on the spot and leave the cartons for subsequent mail users.
