[Chinese Packaging Network News] often online shopping for the public must have such experience, home delivery courier packaging tray wrapped around a few laps of tape, finally opened the box, which is stuffed with a variety of foam fillers, old newspapers and so on. However, these waste products are now rarely recycled. The reason is that there are too many adhesive tapes on the carton, and plastics are not used for the same type. They cannot be reused, and a large number of discarded packaging boxes cause waste of resources and environmental pollution.

The reporter was informed that a new type of expressable packaging box project that can be folded, inflated, and can be recycled will be put into operation in the Liuhe Economic Development Zone. However, whether the difficulties in recycling and packaging “hardware” and difficult to recycle are really solved effectively, the opinion of the insiders and the Inconsistent.

Express is often a big tie

Ms. Zhang Fanghui, who lives in Nanhu Lake, Jianye District, Nanjing, received 6 express delivery items in the past two days. There are kitchen utensils such as dishes and summer sandals. When the box is opened, the volume of the filling inside is two or three times that of the person who bought it. Light processing these boxes let her busy for a long time. Mr. Guo made a cosmetic online shopping business at Senbao Building in Zhangfu Garden, Nanjing, and walked into his work place. There were a large number of tapes, boxes and inflatable bags in the warehouse.

When packing, he saw him put a layer of foam paper in the courier box first, and wrapped two layers of cosmetics in an inflatable bag and wrapped it with a layer of tape. Afterwards, a layer of foam paper was placed in the box, and then the old ones were crumpled together. The newspaper was stuffed in to fill up the gap and finally wrapped around the tape four times. Mr. Guo said, “The delivery courier often throws the courier and throws it away to deliver it. On the packaging, we must be willing to spend money. Otherwise, if the buyer gets something damaged, give a bad review, my business is not good Done".

Express packaging has become an environmental issue

According to the statistics of the State Post Bureau, in 2016, the Chinese express delivery industry completed 20.67 billion business items, and according to the use of 0.2 kilograms of packaging materials per piece, a considerable amount of packaging waste will be generated, which is an increase of 66.7% compared to 2015. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 50 million parcels sent to consumers during this year’s “618” annual sales promotion. This has led to a large amount of courier packaging waste, but these wastes are currently lacking in recycling.

This reporter learned that, according to different sizes and materials, the price of express cartons ranges from 0.1 yuan to more than ten yuan, and most of these cartons are sold to waste collection stations at a price of 0.5 yuan to 0.8 yuan per kilogram. However, many courier packages are now no longer a treasure in the eyes of waste recyclers. They do not receive waste such as plastics. They do not accept too much tape on the carton and cannot reuse it.

For logistics companies, the profit from recycling used cartons is very thin, and it usually does not take human and material resources to recycle. Courier packaging is not strong, it is easy to cause damage during the transport process, when the buyer receives the goods, it will affect the mood, thus giving the seller a bad review, so in the packaging process, will add more tape or other filler, so the operation As mentioned earlier, it is not conducive to recycling and recycling, and a large amount of wastes cause environmental pollution.

Buffer airbag packaging can be recycled

The reporter learned that a new type of express courier box project that can be folded, inflated and can be recycled will be put into operation in the Liuhe Economic Development Zone. It is reported that the packing box was jointly developed by Wu Huachun, Chang Jianhao and Zhao Jingze team of Wuhan University of Technology. The outer shell of the packing box is made of environmentally-friendly PP plastic, and an inflatable cushion made of TPU material is built in. The airbag realizes constant-pressure inflation under the assistance of the constant-pressure charge suction device, so that the airbag can fully fit with the goods, achieve the best buffer effect, and better protect the goods from being damaged during transportation.

This new type of express box is shaped like a storage box. When it is not opened, it is like a rectangular plastic plate. After opening, just place the airbag in the courier box and put the items that need to be delivered into the container. Then use the constant pressure inflatable equipment. The airbag is inflated so that the airbag and the article fit well and the lid is closed. An express item is packaged. The key is that the recyclable inflatable express buffer packaging box can be recycled for 5-8 years, which greatly reduces the low circulation rate and serious pollution problems of traditional express packaging such as cartons, foam fillings, and adhesive tapes.

Also faced with the problem of how to recycle

A person in charge of Shentong Nanjing Branch stated that “these new type of recyclable inflatable express coffer-packing containers are a problem for consumers to recycle.” Courier packaging and recycling are difficult to cope with in China's courier packaging, and the current express packaging is not uniform. Standards, all courier companies are also printed with their own logo, and reusable containers are easily damaged during transportation, recycling requires consumers to cooperate.

For the reuse of packaging, consumers also have many concerns. Ms. Zhang Fanghui said, “There is personal information on the express box of the box. If the processing is not detailed, will the personal information be disclosed when reusing it? A lot of time will be given to relatives and friends. Friends send gifts, if the courier packaging is reused, it is inevitable that it is dirty, giving people the feeling of old Baba."
