In recent years, China's express industry has developed rapidly. At the same time, it has also produced the problem of express packaging and garbage. Some members of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress suggested that relevant departments should make plans for new forms of garbage as soon as possible to prevent problems before they occur.
"New form of garbage"
On the morning of the 2nd meeting of the Standing Committee of the 12th National People's Congress, on the morning of the 2nd, the report of the Law Enforcement Inspection Group of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress on the implementation of the Law on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Wastes (hereinafter referred to as the report) was held in a group, and a joint group meeting was held in the afternoon. The report is subject to a special inquiry.
State Councilor Wang Yong and the heads of relevant departments attended the meeting.
The "solid waste law" law enforcement inspection is the focus of the National People's Congress Standing Committee on this year's supervision work. The law enforcement inspections are extensive and cover a wide range. The chairman and vice-chairmen personally led the team to the local inspection. Many members of the Standing Committee, members of the special committee and deputies of the National People's Congress participated in the inspection, covering 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) covering the whole country.
The report said that the implementation of the "solid waste law" for more than 20 years, especially in the past five years, China's solid waste utilization capacity has been greatly improved, but the current situation of solid waste pollution prevention and control is still grim. Solid waste is produced in large quantities and has a large stock. The total amount of industrial solid waste accumulated in China over the years has reached 60-70 billion tons.
In addition, with the rapid development of the economy and society, new formats have emerged, and new problems have arisen. For example, express packaging waste, scrapped automobiles and other rapid growth, sludge, desulfurization gypsum and other pollution control by-products are produced in large quantities, which has aggravated environmental pollution.
In the group discussion, some members of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress also made relevant suggestions on the issue of express packaging waste.
Li Lingwei, a member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, said that at present, China's express delivery industry is developing rapidly, bringing great convenience to everyone's life. At the same time, the environmental pressure caused by us cannot be ignored. In particular, problems such as huge consumption of packaging materials and excessive packaging have become more and more serious.
According to incomplete statistics, last year, China's express delivery industry consumed more than 10 billion express waybills, 3.2 billion bags, 6.8 billion plastic bags, 3.7 billion boxes, and 330 million rolls of tape. This figure is terrible. It is the word "100 million" to express. Express delivery has brought great convenience to each of us, but this over-packaged, plastic bag, a non-degradable material, has indeed caused great damage to the environment.
Xin Chunying, a member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, said that it is recommended that relevant departments should make plans for new forms of garbage as soon as possible, so as to prevent problems before they occur, and do not wait until the problems pile up and then clean up from scratch.
"There are some systems in the form of waste disposal, and the implementation of these systems is advancing. There is no clear departmental control over the new forms of garbage. Now, for kitchen waste, households, restaurants, all localities are working hard, some places Well done, it can be done in general. But for the food and beverage takeaway, a large number of plastic lunch boxes and kitchen waste are mixed together, no one is in charge.†Xin Chunying said.
Xin Chunying said that some places have recently been sued by environmental protection organizations for the take-away company. The take-away company said that I am only a platform and should be managed by the catering enterprise. If the relevant departments do not take timely measures, they will once again form the report on the problems of corporate profits, mass victimization, and government paying. Has the relevant department already had research and plans on this issue? It is recommended to implement full chain management in accordance with the environmentally responsible principles of producers. It can also be dealt with early through the perspective of taxation and improvement of licensing standards.
Yang Zhen, member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, said that the rapid development of e-commerce in our country, express delivery is a strong support, with 100 million parcels per day. On the positive side, it brings convenience to the people. On the bad side, the packaging outside the express delivery is solid waste. Throwing 100 million a day, 36.5 billion a year, is basically not fully utilized, has been discarded, and is still in the process of rapid growth. It is recommended to promote standardized, reusable parcel boxes.
“Now the rocket festival can be reused, a small box, through some standardized, reusable standards to achieve reuse.†Yang Zhen said.

In the special inquiry, Lang Sheng, a member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, asked that during the law enforcement inspection, it was found that with the rapid development of the express delivery industry, the packaging of the express delivery industry increased significantly. This is an important source of the current increase in solid waste. What measures will be taken to effectively reduce the source of packaging waste?
Regarding this issue, any of the leaders of the National Development and Reform Commission said that in the past few years, we have strengthened the management of packaging waste in emerging fields such as e-commerce and express delivery. The e-commerce and express delivery industry is a new format that has developed rapidly in recent years. As the relevant management measures are not timely and in place, there are prominent problems in the surge of packaging waste and environmental management. This is a new issue. We must attach great importance to it and focus on promoting it.
"We have already issued the "Implementation Plan for Promoting Green Packaging in the Express Delivery Industry" recently, and are coordinating the drafting of "Opinions on Promoting Standard Tray and Developing Unitized Logistics"," He Lifeng said.
He said that the next step will be to cooperate with the revision of the Circular Economy Promotion Law, and to implement the requirements for the reduction of commodities and express packaging, and to clearly define them by legal means. Timely adjustment of relevant policies, preparations for research and adjustment of “plastic limit orders†with relevant departments, research and development of relevant implementation plans for restricting the use of a series of non-degradable plastic packaging in e-commerce, express delivery, take-out and other industries, and urge local places, especially urban plus The intensity of the implementation.
Minister of Commerce Zhong Shan also responded to this question, saying that the law enforcement inspection of the solid waste pollution prevention and control law is of great significance for rectifying excessive packaging. At present, e-commerce has developed rapidly. Last year, China's express delivery reached 31.3 billion pieces, and this year it is estimated to be almost 40 billion pieces. In the law enforcement inspection of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the problem of over-packaging was found. Sometimes a small commodity purchased may cost a few dollars, and the packaging also costs a few dollars. The waste is very large.
The Ministry of Commerce will step up measures to guide consumers to reduce the use of plastic shopping bags.
“Plastic shopping bags are difficult to degrade, pollute the environment, and reduce the amount of use. Second, encourage e-commerce and logistics express enterprises to use the distribution channels to recycle and use discarded packaging materials. There are some advanced models, and the next step will be further summarized. Constantly promoted." Zhong Shan said.
In addition, we must carry out standardization of e-commerce logistics and promote green packaging. Promote the use of new e-commerce logistics packaging technologies and materials to promote packaging reduction and recycling. Promote the use of green logistics equipment and green packaging, promote the recycling of logistics facilities and equipment, innovate the green logistics operation mode, and improve the efficiency of energy resources.
In promoting standardization, the Ministry of Commerce and the National Standards Committee and relevant departments have carried out special campaigns for the standardization of trade and logistics, and selected 32 cities and more than 280 key enterprises and associations across the country to carry out pilot projects to encourage pioneering.
Zhong Shan said that starting from standardized pallets and extending to standardization of packaging, this work has been carried out smoothly. This year's "Double 11" e-commerce companies have launched a shared courier box, which will be put into use in 13 cities. The shared courier box can be reused for 1,000 times. The cost per time is less than one cent, not only saving logistics costs, but more importantly. It is able to protect the environment and save resources.
Bagasse packaging plays an important role in how you market your product and how you build your brand.
Bagasse is the fiber left over after sugar cane juice has been extracted to make sugar. It is a recyclable material committed to zero waste and sustainable raw materials.
Unlike plastic or polystyrene, which contains chemicals that cause waste, our bagasse containers actually help reduce environmental pollution. They are 100% compostable. When used, they can be easily composted, sending nutrients back to the soil and helping us achieve zero waste.
When you choose bagasse food packaging products, you will get a durable, reliable, and environmentally friendly product. Some of the benefits we will experience by using bagasse in food containers:
1. Bagasse food tray is waterproof, oil proof and seepage proof
2. Perfect for salads, bento, sushi, pasta, etc
