On a global scale, humans are facing severe environmental issues related to product packaging, which have garnered widespread attention from the international community. Traditional express packaging methods are exerting immense pressure on the Earth's environment, primarily manifested in the following aspects: firstly, the extensive use of non-biodegradable materials such as plastics and polystyrene leading to environmental pollution and resource wastage; secondly, the generation of substantial plastic waste during the packaging process posing a serious threat to marine ecosystems and wildlife; furthermore, the carbon emissions from express packaging also contribute negatively to climate change.
To address these environmental challenges, countries and organizations worldwide are actively seeking innovative and sustainable packaging solutions. In this context, we propose a series of feasible solutions: firstly, promoting the use of biodegradable materials as substitutes for traditional plastics to reduce the adverse environmental impact; secondly, encouraging the recycling and reutilization of packaging materials to decrease resource wastage and energy consumption; additionally, advocating for lightweight packaging design and optimized transportation schemes to reduce carbon emissions and enhance transport efficiency.
By implementing these comprehensive measures, we can effectively alleviate the environmental pressure of express packaging, propel the global product packaging industry towards a more environmentally friendly, sustainable, and responsible direction, and make a positive contribution to the sustainable development of the Earth's ecological environment and human society.
