News:This year's "618" promotion is linked to the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, and the demand for online shopping, festival consumption and gifts to relatives and friends has increased intensively. It is worth noting that, accompanied by the constant flow of express logistics, there is a surge in packaging waste in residential garbage storage places. Shopping is becoming more and more convenient, but pollution and waste caused by excessive packaging of goods are not uncommon. In response to green consumption, it is necessary to pay attention to the problem of excessive packaging of goods, adhere to moderate and reasonable, and oppose extravagance and flashy.
In the past, Chinese goods generally did not pay attention to packaging, because they believed that the aroma of wine was not afraid of deep alleys, and suffered a lot in product sales, especially in export. With decades of reform and opening up, China's economy has made considerable progress, and the development of the domestic packaging industry has also made a qualitative leap. The "Report on the Operation of China's Packaging Industry in 2022" shows that in 2022, there will be 9,860 enterprises above designated size in my country's packaging industry, and the cumulative operating income of enterprises above designated size in the national packaging industry will be 1,229.334 billion yuan. Chinese products not only advance to the world's first-class in quality, but also match the world's advanced level in product packaging.
While seeing the vigorous development of the packaging industry, we must also see that the phenomenon of excessive packaging is still relatively serious in commodity circulation and sales. In order to increase the sales price and create a high-end image of their own products, some merchants invest too much in packaging, focusing on appearance rather than content. For example, a few days ago, Xiamen City launched a special campaign against excessive packaging of tea, exposing a number of typical cases where the volume of 10 grams of tea packaging reached 5,000 cubic centimeters, and the void rate of 2 small bags of cinnamon, which sold for more than 2,000 yuan, exceeded the standard by 95%. 5000 cubic centimeters, equivalent to the volume of 10 bottles of 500ml bottled water, such a large space is only used to store 10 grams of tea, which not only uses a lot of packaging and filling materials, but also takes up too much space in logistics and transportation, resulting in logistics Waste of space and energy. At the same time, the outer packaging eventually discarded by consumers will also increase the burden on sanitation collection and garbage disposal, causing an astonishing waste of resources in the product life cycle.
The party and the state attach great importance to the problem of excessive packaging. The "14th Five-Year Plan" and the 2035 long-term goal outline propose to accelerate the green transformation of the development mode, build a resource recycling system, and promote the reduction, standardization, and recycling of express packaging. The National Development and Reform Commission proposed in the "Report on the Implementation of the 2022 National Economic and Social Development Plan and the 2023 National Economic and Social Development Plan Draft" to vigorously advocate green consumption and control excessive packaging of commodities. Consumers also oppose excessive packaging. According to the "Research on Excessive Packaging of Commodities and Consumer Perception Survey Report" released by the China Consumers Association, 80.7% of consumers oppose excessive packaging; 51.4% of consumers think that excessive packaging of commodities is more of a problem.
Today, when commercial circulation is highly developed, commodity packaging is already a highly specialized large-scale industry. Under the premise of satisfying science, safety and necessity, reducing excessive and excessive packaging is not only a matter of the packaging industry, but also a value orientation that both merchants and consumers need to adjust. When merchants no longer rely on excessive packaging to "premium" their products, and consumers no longer favor flashy product appearance, the "slimming" of excessive packaging can be achieved naturally. At the same time, it is also indispensable for the regulatory authorities to check the excessive packaging in the market. only with the joint efforts of all parties can the packaging get rid of its glitz and return to its true colors.
As a populous country, my country has a huge demand for resources. At the moment when green development is becoming more and more popular among the people, rational use of limited resources, improvement of use efficiency, reduction of pollution and waste are not only conducive to sustainable development, but also conducive to energy and resource conservation. Let us work together to abandon excessive packaging and help green development.
