Double Eleven "Online Shopping Feast", what impact will the massive amount of express delivery waste have?

Massive express delivery waste will cause environmental pollution and human health problems.

Garbage recycling has become a top priority every year. According to authoritative statistics, my country produces about 16 million tons of packaging waste every year, and the proportion of packaging in municipal solid waste exceeds 30%. NetEase News once published an article indicating that the amount of garbage generated during the Double Eleven period in 2015 increased by about 100 tons on average per day compared with normal times. Such a huge amount of waste packaging includes: paper, wood, plastic products, etc., which could have been recycled twice according to each material, but the recycling work has become more difficult because of the failure to implement garbage classification!

At present, there are three theoretical methods for garbage disposal, namely material recycling, energy recycling, and landfill disposal. To put it simply, material recycling means recycling through methods such as degradation, energy recovery means converting energy for collection, and landfill treatment means that the above two types of waste that cannot be processed are used for landfill. In the early days, incineration and landfilling were the most common ones. Later, because a large amount of harmful substances such as dioxins were emitted during the operation of garbage incinerators, many countries have banned them. However, this is still the case in some remote areas of our country. Waste is disposed of by incineration. What I want to emphasize here is that dioxin can cause teratogenesis, carcinogenesis, and mutagenesis, so everyone needs to be careful not to incinerate or live near incineration plants.

Finally, I still have to mention the express packaging bags. White and green are the safest, while gray and black are for secondary processing and reuse. It is best to wash your hands immediately after unpacking with scissors and do not bite them with your mouth (earlier (Where is the example of a woman who chewed packaging with her teeth and got ulcers at the corners of her mouth)? It is best to put discarded packaging into classified trash cans and not to put it together with kitchen waste. This will facilitate recycling and will also help the health of all of us!
