What are the green packaging solutions for SF/YTO/STO Express?
According to the industry standard of "Measurement Method of Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Express Service (YZ/T0135-2014)" issued by the State Post Bureau, in the carbon footprint of express delivery life cycle, express packaging and consumables have the largest carbon emissions. Therefore, the industry has generally regarded green packaging and recyclable packaging as the key path for carbon reduction.
YTO Express
By promoting the use of recyclable packaging, YTO Express strengthens the recycling of packaging waste, continues to invest in recyclable transfer bags and recyclable express boxes throughout the network, and promotes the establishment of standardized recycling devices for franchisees and end outlets to strengthen the recycling of packaging waste. Reuse. At the same time, the company specially made 200,000 fully biodegradable plastic packaging bags and put them into use in Hainan from December 2021.
In addition, the company promoted electronic and reduced express delivery orders to reduce resource consumption. As of the end of 2021, the utilization rate of the company's electronic face sheets has exceeded 99.9%, and the utilization rate of single face sheets has reached over 95%; in addition, the company will comprehensively promote tape packaging with a size of 45mm and below in 2021 to reduce the consumption of express packaging.
In terms of the use of recyclable materials, Yuantong Express uses recyclable and degradable materials to make recyclable express boxes. The box body can be formed and sealed without glue or tape. It is waterproof, heat-resistant, compression-resistant, shock-resistant, and can be 100% recycled 50% times or more. The sealing ring is a key structure, the packaging is more labor-saving, and an RFID electronic label is added, one code per box, used with the electronic face sheet, which can effectively carry out the data management of consumables and the full life cycle management of the box, and promote the standardization of express logistics. manage.
