  According to the staff, there are about 200 stations like this in Tianjin, which process about 5 tons of recycling every day, of which express packaging waste accounts for about 80%.

  At present, my country's express delivery industry has an average daily business volume of 350 million pieces and an average daily service user of nearly 700 million person-times, ranking first in the world for many years in a row.

  According to reports, degradable adhesive tape is a difficult point in research and development. After numerous tensile tests, the R&D staff finally launched a new type of fully biodegradable environmental protection tape in 2023. During garbage recycling, the tape and the carton do not need to be separated. Under suitable conditions, the tape can be directly degraded into water and carbon dioxide.
