Green management of express packaging with recyclable transfer bags and RFID chips urgently needs to build a long-term mechanism

快递的使用come a habit of people, and the accompanying express packaging waste has also experienced rapid growth, and green governance of the express delivery industry has become an important issue. With the promotion of relevant departments, the greening, reduction and recyclability of express packaging are beginning to show results, but the management of some chronic diseases still requires the establishment of a long-term mechanism.

According to the latest data from the State Post Bureau, since June, the average daily business volume of express delivery nationwide has approached 260 million. As people have become accustomed to using express delivery, the volume of express delivery business has also increased year by year, and express delivery cartons, plastic bags, foam boxes and other express delivery packages have also become "frequent customers" in community litter boxes.

How much express packaging does my country consume in a year? According to estimates, it consumes about 32.8 billion cartons, 320 million rolls of tape, 7.06 billion envelopes, and 63 billion sheets.

It is worth noting that in the future, my country's express delivery industry will still maintain a high growth rate, the absolute value of the amount of express packaging used and the resulting packaging waste will continue to increase, and the green management of express packaging has become an important issue.

今年,提出了国家邮政局9792" project, that is, by the end of this year, we will strive to achieve a "slimming tape" packaging ratio of 90%, e-commerce express no longer secondary packaging rate of 70%, circulating transit bag utilization rate of 90%, new 20,000 postal express outlets with standard packaging waste recycling devices.

In response to this, logistics companies have responded one after another and continued to advance in the areas of circulating transfer bags and promotion of electronic face sheets. Taking Zhongtong Express as an example, the current utilization rate of Zhongtong Express' electronic face sheet has reached 99.9%, of which the total network usage of a single order has reached more than 80%, and it continues to grow steadily. At the same time, the utilization rate of newly purchased "slimming tape" below 45 mm also reached 100%. The company also vigorously promotes the use of recyclable transfer bags and develops an environmentally friendly bag identification system. Up to now, more than 2.5 million recyclable transfer bags with RFID chips have been put into use in the whole network of Zhongtong Express. Currently, Shanghai and Guangzhou have achieved 100% coverage of recyclable transfer bags. It is expected that the whole network will have full coverage of recyclable transfer bags by the end of this year.

"In the past, we used woven bags for 5 cents each, but they could only be used once. Now the recyclable transfer bags can be used for one year. After accounting, the cost per use is only 1 cent, and the loading capacity of each bag has also increased by 30. %." Zuo Xiaofeng, the person in charge of Zhongtong Express in Xigaze, Tibet, said that the use of recycling bags not only helps the development of environmental protection work, but also reduces the operating costs of outlets.

At present, how is the completion of the relevant indicators of the 9792 project across the industry? Not long ago, at a video-phone conference on the whole-system ecological and environmental protection work held by the State Post Bureau, Zhao Min, a member of the Party Group and deputy director of the State Post Bureau, said that the energy-saving and emission reduction of the express delivery industry is steadily Advance. As of the end of April, the nationwide "slimming" tape packaging ratio reached 83.8%, e-commerce express no longer secondary packaging rate reached 65%, recycling transfer bag utilization rate reached 80.9%, 17,000 new postal express outlets set up packaging waste recycling box.

The green, reduced and recyclable packaging of express delivery has achieved initial results. However, the express packaging recycling is not as smooth as expected. For example, some express delivery points have no space for recycling bins due to limited space; despite the large amount of express mail in some communities, consumers are accustomed to take the express home and then dismantle it, and the recycling bins do not play an actual role; there are many packaging cartons due to the damage rate High, the probability of recycling is very low.

"Do a good job in the industry's ecological and environmental protection work to win the battle of pollution prevention and control. The mission is glorious and arduous." Zhao Min said that the whole system should take proactive actions, innovate ways and methods, deeply promote the green management of express packaging, and firmly fight the industry pollution prevention and control battle. Make new and greater contributions to building a well-off society in an all-round way and building a beautiful China.

Regarding the next step, Zhao Min said that first of all, postal management departments at all levels should further understand the importance of doing a good job in the industrys ecological environmental protection work, seriously perform regulatory responsibilities, and supervise enterprises to implement the main responsibilities; second, we must firmly establish the concept of governance by law , Improve supporting laws and regulations, and do a good job of promotion and implementation; again, it is necessary to coordinate advancement, key breakthroughs, give full play to the role of pilot demonstration, and incorporate industry ecological environmental protection work into the daily supervision system.

The green governance of the express delivery industry must adhere to both the symptoms and the root cause, and promote comprehensive governance. We must take the implementation of the green management work account of express packaging as the starting point and accelerate the promotion of green packaging applications; take the establishment of a sound law and standard policy system that is compatible with the green concept as a guarantee to build a long-term mechanism for green governance; use information and intelligence Leading by technological innovation, continue to strengthen the endogenous power of green governance. In addition, we must insist on joint construction and co-governance, actively implement the relevant reform requirements of the central and local fiscal authority and expenditure responsibility division, promote the implementation of territorial responsibilities, strengthen department collaboration, strengthen publicity and guidance, and create a good atmosphere for the industry's ecological and environmental protection work.
