Express packaging residual formaldehyde and benzene shredded packaging guard against "toxic"

Today, online shopping is becoming more and more common in life. According to the 2013 data released by the State Post Bureau, China’s average per capita can receive 7 shipments last year. Express delivery facilitates life, but express packaging has become a huge burden on the environment.

Dexin, a citizen of Dezhou, Shandong Province, is an 80-year-old online shopping influx. Usually daily household items and children's books are purchased through the Internet. Online shopping is everywhere. Some plastic belts are not recycled and are thrown away as rubbish.

A small commodity package is often three layers out of three, which not only handles the trouble but also wastes a lot of packaging materials. The reporter randomly contacted a courier to send a glass and make-up utensils on the grounds to see how thick the express “vest” was. As a result, it was found that plastic boxes, foams, adhesive tapes, carton boxes, plastic bags, and finally a layer of adhesive tape were affixed. A small express delivery would require at least six processes.

Packaging bags no industry standard shredded packaging guard against "toxic"

The courier said that the reason for this complexity is mainly the fear that the goods will be damaged during the delivery process. However, these packages for the protection of goods conceal considerable risks.

Dr. Liu Huawei, chief physician of Boxing County Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Binzhou, Shandong Province, told reporters that the current source of courier packaging materials is relatively complex, mostly from domestic garbage, chemical materials and other reprocessing, which left a large number of harmful substances, such as packaging tape The viscous components are mainly synthetic resins, as well as volatile poisons such as formaldehyde and benzene, which easily cause irritation to the skin. The well-known mail package, especially the outer package, is a gray belt that is becoming a new round of environmental killers because of its non-degradability.

At present, the “Guidelines for the Operation of Express Delivery Operations” formulated by the State Post Bureau only require the services of the express delivery industry. For the issues of strength, material, and environmental protection of express delivery packages, no clear standards have been set.

Last year, the total volume of express delivery service enterprises above designated size in China reached 9,190 million. Correspondingly, there are billions of courier packaging wastes. Compared with the annual number of packaging cartons and bags of billions, the amount of tape was lost. It is also amazing. If a courier package requires 1 meter of tape, it will consume 9.19 billion meters of tape, which is equivalent to 229 circles around the Earth's equator. These tapes are often resistant to corrosion and are also more difficult to degrade. The courier service is convenient for everyone's life. Of course, we can't stop eating because we can't stop eating, but we can't continue to ignore such huge pollution.
