Courier box recycling packaging tape is "slimming"

Green packaging makes express delivery more environmentally friendly

How many cartons, foam boards, and plastic bags are produced every day? Express packaging has also annoyed many residents: "What should I do if I keep occupying space and throw it away and feel it's a waste?" It is gratifying that with the promotion of regulatory authorities and the efforts of express companies, green packaging is becoming an industry consensus.

Recycle the packing box

Ms. Wang, a citizen of Huaxia Jiayuan in Shijiazhuang, recently went to the express delivery point near the community to pick up the courier and found a "carton sharing station". She unpacked it on the spot, and put the still intact carton into the recycling bin for reuse. "This sharing station is really good. I used to take the courier home and dismantle it. I couldn't fit it in the house, so I had to throw it in the trash. Some cartons were still intact. It's a pity to lose them. Now that there are recycling boxes, these cartons can also play a role. It's 'residual heat'." Ms. Wang said happily.

The reporter recently saw the green express recycling bins at the Huaxia branch of Hebei SF Express Co., Ltd. The recycling bins are divided into a paper product recycling area and a plastic recycling area. Citizens can put them into different recycling bins according to the different materials of the express bins. Gu Cong, the person in charge of the business point, said that SF Express has set up express recycling boxes in all business points of the city, and many citizens actively participated and put in the express packaging boxes.

In addition to the express recycling box, the reporter also saw the newly put into use "Feng BOX" packaging box at the outlet. This kind of box is square, with a zipper switch, no plastic sealing tape, and no filler. The courier delivers the goods to consumers. Afterwards, this recycle box will be brought back to the warehouse for reuse. According to reports, compared with one-time packaging, this kind of recyclable packaging box has the properties of waterproof, flame retardant, thermal insulation, etc. One packaging box can achieve more than 50 turnover cycles, greatly reducing the amount of packaging materials used.

It is also understood that a number of express delivery companies have slimmed down their packaging. At present, most of the plastic bags used in express delivery are disposable recycled plastic bags, but the main material of the tape is still polyvinyl chloride, which takes nearly a hundred years to degrade. "The packaging tape we use now is thinner, the width is less than 45mm, and the thickness is also thinner. The main purpose is to reduce the use of consumables and reduce environmental pollution." The director of a express outlet said. Furthermore, companies
