At the same time, the introduction of preferential policies to encourage recycling. Can be built to build a recycling system, including measures to encourage courier recycling packaging, and courier network sentinel recycling combined, the recycling package will be sold to the relevant manufacturing enterprises, the "waste into treasure" re-use. In addition, should also increase research and development efforts, the implementation of emerging technologies. Packaging production links should increase product technology research and development efforts, research and development of non-environmentally friendly materials, alternative products, optimize the existing technology and technology to improve the use of recycled materials in the proportion of products and product performance.

"Express packaging stuffing and other garbage everywher"

2015 national express belt with the total length of the tape around the equator 425 laps

State Post Bureau issued in 2016, "China Express field green packaging development status and trend report" shows that in accordance with the average express ticket using 1 meter long tape to calculate, 2015, the national express industry to use the total length of 16.985 billion meters of tape Around the equator 425 laps; the national express delivery of transport billboards about 20.7 billion, about 8.268 billion plastic bags, envelopes of about 1.105 billion, about 9,222 million containers, the internal buffer of about 2.977 billion.

Currently on the market express packaging materials used mainly polyethylene, cardboard, cattle cardboard, air cushion film, which uses the largest plastic bags. And its composition is more complex, mainly by chemical materials, household waste and other re-processing, may be a lot of residual plasticizers, flame retardants and other toxic and hazardous substances, can not be re-processing can not be degraded, most can only landfill Or incineration.

On behalf of the members of the proposal

Wang Yueqing made three suggestions:

First, the state to strengthen the top design, the introduction of a number of policy measures, including the provision of special funds to support and packaging materials research and development and recycling, and encourage courier companies to recover packaging to speed up the Green Express green logistics transformation.

Second, the logistics industry, express delivery authorities issued a normative document. As soon as possible in the courier business using electronic badges. From the source to control the manufacture of courier packaging and the use of biodegradable materials. Improve the use of packaging recycling, and promote the packaging of green, so that the express business from the city to the rural extension, from extensive management to refinement, professional operation changes.

Third, as the current "express package supplies" national standard is a recommended standard, not mandatory, part of the toxic plastic has become a very important packaging bags of raw materials, endangering the public health, for the delivery of waste recycling waste disposal management laws The lack of laws and regulations of the situation, to be mitigated or resolved as soon as possible, express delivery waste recycling management must be done by law, only the use of legal means to control, including the use of green materials and recycling links, clear electrical goods Technical standards, restraint sellers and courier companies and other aspects, in the case of law, do not use toxic and harmful materials made of plastic bags and other packaging, the use of green bags to replace, in order to make the supervision and management really fall In place, "Express packaging waste recycling management regulations" laws and regulations urgently to be introduced.

Logistics people have been involved in "green logistics"

Previously, there have been a lot of electricity business logistics companies involved in "green logistics."

Novice Green Program: June 13, 2016, Novice announced the joint venture with 32 global partners launched a green plan, promised to 2020, 50% of the parcels are degradable packaging materials. In December, the green plan in China Pharmaceutical University launched the campus green action, in the college rookie Inn set up a "green action package material recycling area" to encourage students to unpack the original carton to stay in the recovery station to complete the second recycle. The rookie network plans to extend this initiative to 1000 colleges and universities in 2017.

Jingdong's "thin plan": 2015, Jingdong to optimize the tape, without affecting the effect of express packaging and aesthetics under the premise of the width of the tape from 53mm to 45mm, equivalent to shorten the 15%, this improvement, Jingdong logistics warehousing system can reduce the use of tape 5 million square meters per year. Data show that Jingdong "thin" plan to Jingdong in 2016 to reduce the use of at least 100 million meters of tape can be around the Earth 2.5 laps.

Shen Tong's environmental express bag: January 1, 2017, the Shanghai Expressway Jiangsu and Zhejiang and Anhui outlets and transit center interactive pieces of the full use of environmentally friendly bags Jian Bao. Low emissions, pollution-free, recyclable development, STO to low-carbon, green green delivery has taken a key step.

It is understood that STO in June 2016 began to try the use of environmentally friendly bags, after the trial period of continuous improvement and improvement of the current network and transit center on the environmental protection bag itself and the operation of the problems encountered has been effective To solve, and officially began to promote the use of a large area of ​​the whole network.

Although the logistics people have long been aware of the problem of express packaging pollution of the environment, but the representatives of the two members of the voice can not be ignored.
