At present, plastic express tapes made of polyethylene (PE) materials are widely used in China (PE materials for express bags are divided into new materials, semi-new materials, and recycled materials), which are low in cost, easy to use, and have excellent waterproof performance. Returning to the issue of price and quality, degradable materials do not have an advantage in terms of price. In terms of quality, it also requires a lot of late-stage research and development to take into account both degradation and performance.

However, it is a gradual process to realize the industry's green consensus. Taking straws and plastic bags that have been banned for example, they also face various difficulties in the promotion process. However, after more than two years, disposable non-degradable plastics The use of straws, packaging bags, etc. has dropped significantly, while the use of biodegradable products has increased significantly.

Degradable courier bags have long been the first

As early as 2016, Cainiao's "Green Action Plan" launched a degradable express bag: 100% degradable express bags have been produced, which are made of PBAT modified resin, and the main components are PBAT and PLA. And it has been used in Taobao and Tmall merchants.

It is understood that Jiangsu has been comprehensively promoting the greening of express packaging since 2019. In 2021, Jiangsu issued the province's implementation opinions on accelerating the green transformation of express delivery packaging, and formulated and implemented the "2021 Implementation Plan for Industrial Ecological and Environmental Protection". In early October this year, China Post Jiangsu Branch publicly invited bids for the procurement of degradable packaging bags.

During the Double Eleven period last year, the Yinzhou Post Branch of Hunan Province installed environmentally friendly packaging boxes and environmentally friendly tapes at 264 outlets in the city and 8 complete investment departments in the city, and set up 76 environmentally friendly recycling devices. Although it is just a small adhesive tape, it is only a part of China Post's degradable packaging project. The degradable plastic packaging bag was also developed together with the project.

Henan Techuang Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is a modern green and environmental protection enterprise integrating R&D, production, sales and technical services, providing services for biodegradable plastic bags and products.
