Express delivery promotes plastic reduction and weight loss. In order to be more green and environmentally friendly, what have relevant e-commerce platforms done?

In a box filled with foam protection, there is only a small lipstick or cosmetics. This must be a phenomenon that many people have seen after opening the express delivery. The product is well protected, but excessive packaging is indeed wasteful. It feels like a pity to throw it away, and I don’t know how to dispose of it if I don’t throw it away. Therefore, in order to save resources and reduce the waste caused by excessive express packaging, it is imperative to reduce plastic and slim down. 1. The waste of express cartons and packaging supplies is serious, and it is urgent to reduce plastic and slim down for express delivery.

With the rapid development of the Internet, online shopping has become an integral part of everyone's life. It has indeed brought a lot of convenience to people's lives, but the waste and pollution that come with it cannot be ignored. . The first is the cartons used to package goods, which can often be described as piles of mountains. Although some cartons are of good quality and one or two can be kept at home for personal use, too many cartons become garbage that takes up space, so they have to be thrown away. . Especially during the Double Eleven period, the number of express delivery has been calculated in tens of millions or even billions, and the cardboard garbage and waste generated can be imagined.

The second is the packaging materials in express delivery, such as white foam and various protective layers, etc. The white pollution they produce is also very serious. Furthermore, there is waste when merchants send packages. For example, when purchasing a microwave oven, it is really unnecessary to send appliances such as insulated gloves and microwave appliances separately by two couriers. Therefore, in order to leave more resources for the next generation, we must find appropriate ways to alleviate the serious packaging waste in the express delivery industry. 2. Multiple e-commerce platforms have launched actions to recycle and share cartons, and simplify packaging and secondary use as much as possible.

The gratifying thing is that many e-commerce platforms have recognized the importance of reducing weight for express delivery and have implemented corresponding measures and actions. First, we launched a number of express carton recycling points and set up exclusive carton sites. For example, the Qingcheng Plan launched by Mouning Logistics is to recycle consumers’ express cartons and then recycle them again.

The second is to work hard on express packaging materials. For example, Moudong Logistics has optimized and upgraded packaging materials to make them more green and environmentally friendly and reduce energy consumption. The third is to develop an intelligent sorting system to match different products and then package them in cartons of appropriate specifications. This can accordingly reduce the phenomenon of excessive packaging.
