Research on the Application of Environmentally Friendly Packaging Materials in the Sustainable Development of Logistics

Abstract

With the quickening of environmental pollution control in China, the concrete measures of “plastic limit” and “plastic ban” were put forward one after another. At the same time, the Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Waste will be formally revised and implemented in September 2020. This fully demonstrates the importance we attach to ecological protection and sustainable development of the environment and our determination to control environmental pollution. At present, with the popularization of e-commerce, the fragmentation of consumption, the penetration of online shopping in rural areas is getting bigger and bigger, and the express delivery industry is showing explosive growth. Especially under the epidemic, consumers’ consumption behaviors and consumption patterns have changed greatly. Network consumption behavior increased significantly, carton, plastic bags and other packaging products demand increased significantly. It consumes a lot of resources, such as paper and plastic products, and also produces a lot of packaging waste. Through the analysis and comparison of several disposable plastic packaging materials in green logistics, the importance of green packaging in green logistics is discussed, which has a strong inspiration for environmental protection and the development of green logistics.
