With the rapid development of online shopping, the over-packaging of the express delivery industry and the lack of environmental protection of materials have caused widespread concern.
"If you are willing to peel my heart layer by layer..." Today, this lyric can not only describe onions, but also express express packaging. Even if it is a small thing, the courier company will pack the three layers and three layers and send it to the buyer.
At present, online shopping has become an indispensable way of life. People's standards and requirements for online shopping are getting higher and higher, and the waste generated in express packaging is becoming more and more serious. According to statistics, the online shopping business produces more than 10 million express packages every day. Most of them, such as scotch tape, air bags, plastic bags, and cartons, are discarded after being used once, which wastes the environment and pollutes the environment. How to make the express package "green" has become a concern of people.
In mid-October, Wang Hui, who lives in Taoyuan South Road, Taiyuan City, bought a set of glasses. When he received the package, he was shocked. The cup was not big, but the package was a big box half a meter long. After opening, there is a layer of foam board, then a separate package for each cup, a layer of shock-proof plastic bubbles and densely taped tape, a large amount of foam in the cup, the total package adds up to several kilograms. Faced with so much packaging material, she can only smile and pick up a lot of throw away.
Zhang Yang, who works in a public institution in the provincial capital, also has a lot of remarks about over-packaging of express delivery. "Even if it is not a fragile commodity, some sellers will pack it with a bubble film. If you don't open it, you can't see what is inside." For these express packaging, Zhang Yang said that he usually throws it away directly, and often sees similar express bags and other garbage in the community and unit trash cans.
In recent years, with the rapid increase in the popularity of online shopping, in order to please buyers, many online shop express packaging is more and more "high-end atmosphere grade", almost every package is plastic foam paper, newspaper, foam board to the outermost The box is full. For consumers, these removed packages are reserved for the place, throwing away waste of resources and polluting the environment, and how to deal with it becomes a big problem that plagues people.
Over-packaging of express delivery and even being "wrapped" seems to be a common problem in the express delivery industry. According to statistics, in 2015, the national express delivery consumed 2.96 billion woven bags, 8.26 billion plastic bags, 9.9 billion packaging boxes, 16.95 billion meters of tape and 2.97 billion cushions. Behind the shocking numbers, almost none of these materials are recycled and wasteful.
In the interview, the reporter learned that throwing away is the way most people handle express packaging. Some people choose to save the express carton, and then send it to the recycling station for treatment or wait for someone to collect it, but the recycling price of a few kilograms of cardboard in a cardboard box finally caused many people to give up the move.
In the face of consumers' doubts about over-packaging of express delivery, online shop owners have also revealed their helplessness.
Liu Xiaoli runs a cosmetics online shop on Taobao. She tells reporters how she packaged the express: Since most of the cosmetic bottles are made of glass, they are more expensive and generally have three layers. The first layer is the packaging of the product itself; the second layer is wrapped with foam paper to cover the product and then fixed with tape; the third layer is the carton, in order to prevent the product from breaking, it is also stuffed with foam and other fillers in the gap. .
For her, such packaging is helpless. “The number of sending and dispatching of thousands or even tens of thousands of pieces per day from the courier company, from transportation to sorting, sometimes causes damage to the outer packaging, but it is inevitable that the buyer will get the damaged goods. Some will even directly Return. "One time the cosmetics sent to a customer broke on the way, I can only re-delivery, although I bought insurance, but there is still a loss. Liu Xiaoli believes that one more layer of packaging is an additional layer of protection for the seller.
"I don't want to spend a lot of time on the packaging. After all, it has to be counted in the cost. Generally, in addition to large-scale e-commerce, there are fixed packaging manufacturers. Small sellers like me are wholesale packaging materials online. If the quality is better. The three-layer special hard cartons have a minimum of 0.2 yuan each, and the stronger five-layer high-quality carton has a minimum number of 0.3 yuan each, which does not include bags, tapes, fillers, etc. Down, every month is also a small expense." In Liu Xiaoli's view, packaging is the "face" of goods, packaging is not good, good things will make people feel cheap, so it is necessary to work hard on the packaging.
The reporter visited a number of courier companies to understand that there is no uniform industry standard for express delivery packaging for online shopping. The staff of Yuantong Express Company's outlets told the reporter that the current packaging process and methods of express delivery are all stipulated by the company. The courier will first carry out package training before going to work. For example, the mail item is clothes, generally only two layers of plastic are needed. In the bag packaging, if it is a fragile product such as glass, a bubble film, a filler, or the like is added. For the phenomenon of over-packaging of express delivery, this is inevitable from the point of view of maintaining items. Sometimes it is afraid to lose the items of the sender, and small items should be packed in large boxes, in order to avoid damage caused by damage to the items. .
In the trash cans of many residential buildings, large and small express packaging can be seen every day. “A lot of boxes and plastic bags can be found every day, so I just throw it away, it’s a waste.†Li Aunt, who is cleaning in the Baiyun District of Taiyuan City, said with regret.
During the interview, some people suggested that the courier company recycle the packaging box and make secondary use. For example, from the source, express companies are encouraged to use packaging that is easy to recycle, or to use reusable courier boxes. Some people also proposed that relevant documents should be issued to constrain sellers and express delivery companies, not to use packaging materials such as plastic bags made of toxic and hazardous materials, and to use packaging materials made of environmentally friendly materials instead.
It is understood that many courier companies have tried a variety of ways to solve the problem of over-packaging. For example, Shentong Express has tried out envelopes and plastic bags made of new environmentally friendly materials at some outlets. It has the characteristics of no pollution and strong solubility, and patented design can realize recycling and recycling. SF Express also gradually replaced the woven bag with a reusable canvas bag in the transfer field. After testing, a canvas bag can be reused about 20 times, the cost is about 15 yuan, and the average cost of use can be reduced to 0.75 yuan or less per piece. At the same time, SF's cartons, document seals, waybills and stickers are made of 100% degradable materials. SF is also promoting the use of honeycomb boxes instead of log packaging.
While encouraging express delivery companies to try, Hou Xiaobin, a researcher at the Provincial Academy of Social Sciences, believes that technological breakthroughs and innovations should be made to make courier packaging materials more environmentally friendly, reduce plastic packaging that is difficult to degrade and recycle, and increase environmentally friendly packaging that is easy to handle and recycle. In this regard, there are some good experiences abroad that can be used for reference. For example, the bubble plastic bag used for shockproofing, and the paper ball which is more easily recycled by foreign manufacturers, the raw material is waste paper, which is spherical after simple processing, and can be recycled while being shockproof and reusable. In addition, some e-commerce companies have adopted a "zippered case" that does not require tape packaging. It is said to reduce the pollution caused by the large amount of tape used, and to improve the packaging efficiency and the aesthetics of the outer packaging.
In addition, Hou Xiaobin said that recycling of express packaging is an inevitable trend, and industries or enterprises should develop operational methods to promote them. On the one hand, the government should introduce relevant laws and regulations, clarify the packaging technical standards for e-commerce goods, and squeeze the space for packaging waste; on the other hand, logistics operators should consciously eliminate waste on express packaging and implement effective recycling measures. .
