Gift boxes with large boxes set in small boxes, express parcels with three layers inside and three layers outside, take-out lunch boxes that produce white trash... In recent years, with the rapid development of e-commerce and increasingly diversified consumer demand, the phenomenon of excessive packaging has "repeated" , And the pattern is constantly being renovated. Excessive packaging not only brings troubles to consumers, but also becomes a practical problem related to environmental protection and green development that needs to be solved urgently.
For goods, packaging plays a role of wrapping and decoration. Historically, packaging materials were generally derived from nature. With the substantial increase in productivity, packaging materials have gradually shifted to paper, plastic, glass, etc. At the same time, the development of printing, color painting and other crafts has helped the packaging become more exquisite. Therefore, the functions of packaging are also enriched. Today, the level of packaging design and production not only highlights the value of goods to a certain extent, but also affects consumers' purchasing decisions. Especially under the trend of online shopping, packaging has become an indispensable part of express delivery, and has a special role in protecting goods and avoiding losses.
Why is there an over-packing problem? In fact, whether it is flashy gift box packaging or express items that are too tightly wrapped, the businessmen's mentality of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages cannot be avoided behind the scenes. For merchants, in the face of the homogenization of production and sales, market competition is becoming increasingly fierce. Instead of spending a lot of time and energy on improving product quality, it is better to work hard on packaging to achieve "high cost performance". Some consumers feel deeply about this: For products with similar quality, if the packaging is more exquisite and gorgeous, the price will often be higher. In order to seek higher profits, some businesses tend to re-package, light-products or even over-package. In addition, in express transportation, once the goods are damaged, the merchants often need to bear the corresponding losses. In order to ensure that the goods are in good condition, the simplest and most direct way is to pack more than less, layer by layer.
In the long run, the negative effects of excessive packaging cannot be ignored. On the one hand, excessive packaging requires a large amount of paper, tape, plastic foam and other materials, resulting in waste of resources. On the other hand, the recycling rate of surplus and surplus packaging is low. In particular, disposable packaging materials such as tape and plastic foam are often discarded. Such garbage is difficult to handle and difficult to degrade, which is likely to cause damage to water, soil, and air. Long-term pollution. In addition, some inferior packaging contains plasticizers, excessive heavy metals, and toxic organics, etc., which can easily damage the health of consumers through skin contact.
In fact, excessive packaging is not a new topic, it has already attracted social attention, and relevant departments are also actively taking action. In March last year, the State Administration for Market Regulation and the State Post Bureau issued the "Implementation Opinions on Carrying out the Certification of Express Package Green Products"; in October last year, the "Regulations for Green Product Certification for Express Packages" was released, which means that express packaging products have green certification. threshold. In March of this year, the "Administrative Measures for the Packaging of Express Mails" was officially implemented, clarifying the requirements for packaging selection, proposing the establishment and implementation of packaging management systems, the use of environmentally friendly materials in accordance with regulations, and packaging reduction measures. At the same time, shipping companies are encouraged to establish and improve working mechanisms and Recycling process, recycling and reuse of packaging materials. Various measures have effectively curbed the phenomenon of excessive packaging and promoted the concept of green environmental protection to be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Although the daily packaging is small, it is a big issue related to the green development of the industry. It is difficult to solve the problem of excessive packaging in one go. Regulatory departments, merchants, and consumers still need to work together to reduce excessive packaging from the source and make "light packaging", simple packaging, and packaging recycling a new trend in society.
