The impact of the industry is far-reaching, and short-term challenges coexist with long-term opportunities

Xu Junjun, deputy director of YTO Development Research Center, believes that the core of the special revision is to solve the problem of express packaging pollution, so that express packaging is more environmentally friendly, more economical and reusable. This is not only an "environmental test" for the express delivery industry, but also an opportunity for transformation and upgrading.

In the short term, express delivery companies need to invest in optimizing the packaging process, using environmentally friendly materials, and may even collaborate with e-commerce to promote the "original straight hair" model, which will undoubtedly increase operating costs. However, from the perspective of long-term development, it will enhance the operational efficiency and brand image of the enterprise. At the same time, this also further clarifies the environmental responsibility of the whole chain, from packaging manufacturers to e-commerce platforms, Courier companies, consumers, each link must assume the corresponding environmental responsibility.

The regulations promote enterprises to join the wave of green practice

The draft will promote the greening, reduction and recycling of express packaging, and accelerate the formation of green production and lifestyle. This will force companies to upgrade technology, prompting Courier companies to optimize the packaging process, use environmentally friendly materials, and jointly promote the "original straight hair" model. For example, the regulations require that enterprises operating express business should optimize express packaging and packaging structure design under the premise of ensuring the safety of express goods, reduce the use of packaging, give priority to the use of reusable, easy to recycle packaging, the state encourages enterprises operating express business to use degradable packaging, which provides a clear direction and requirements for the green practice of enterprises.

At the same time, the draft clarifies the environmental responsibility of the whole chain, from packaging manufacturers to e-commerce platforms, Courier companies, consumers, every link must bear environmental responsibility. This helps to create a good social atmosphere for green development, encourages enterprises to participate more actively in the green practice of express packaging, and also allows enterprises to better cooperate with upstream and downstream enterprises and consumers when promoting green packaging.

In addition, the draft also proposes to improve the comprehensive support policy for the green transformation of express packaging, effectively reduce the operating costs of packaging, recycling, cleaning, allocation, and so on, and fully mobilize the enthusiasm of all aspects. This will provide strong support for enterprises to carry out the green practice of express packaging, reduce the operating costs of enterprises, and improve the enthusiasm and initiative of enterprises.
