core tip: in the e-commerce industry, cartons are one of the most important consumables. Data shows that China's e-commerce industry consumes more than 10billion express cartons a year, equivalent to tens of millions of trees a year, causing a large amount of waste water and exhaust gas, and carbon emissions are as high as millions of tons, This has brought great waste to natural resources and great harm to the environment. Express packaging substitutes, recycling and other methods have gradually been concerned and implemented by more and more large e-commerce enterprises. Suning logistics, cainiaolo and jd.com are precedents
[China Packaging News] in the e-commerce industry, cartons are one of the most important consumables. Data shows that China's e-commerce industry consumes more than 10billion express cartons a year, equivalent to tens of millions of trees consumed every year, resulting in a large amount of waste water and exhaust gas, and carbon emissions as high as millions of tons, which brings a great waste of natural resources and great harm to the environment
express packaging substitutes, recycling and other methods have gradually been concerned and implemented by more and more large e-commerce enterprises. Suning logistics, cainiaolo and jd.com are precedents. They have introduced different ways to strengthen the environmental protection performance of packaging, and without exception, these ways are reducing the use of cartons
Suning logistics
launched 10000 small recycled plastic boxes to replace cartons
environmental intelligence is one of the sources of "vitality" of Suning logistics. According to the CSR report issued by Suning in 2017, by the end of 2016, a total of 2million express cartons had been recycled. In 418 this year, Suning took another step in packaging, officially launching 10000 small recycling containers to replace cartons, which is called "drifting box action", looking for a new end of pipe distribution solution for e-commerce logistics
it is reported that in the first stage, the drift boxes are mainly "3C category, self delivery, door-to-door delivery, and unpacking inspection machine". Consumers take away the goods, and the couriers recycle the packaging, which is simple and convenient. According to the plan, in the second stage, the drift box will be expanded to more commodities and recycled by community collection points
Cainiao network
intelligent algorithm can reduce the consumption of cartons by more than one billion a year
on April 7, Cainiao launched a path optimization algorithm, using big data to plan vehicle allocation, instead of manual decision-making. What does this have to do with cartons
rookies have always believed that the core of smart logistics is data and algorithms, which can not be achieved with countless couriers or drones. Therefore, many products have been launched on "data + algorithm", among which the relatively heavy intelligent algorithm technology includes intelligent packaging and intelligent order splitting
intelligent packaging, that is, at the first time when the purchase order is generated, the system will calculate the size of the box required by the order and how to place the goods, so that all goods can be loaded in the smallest box
manual packaging mostly depends on the naked eye and experience, so it is difficult to accurately estimate the volume and weight of goods. Through the "intelligent packaging algorithm" technology, the system will immediately calculate the attributes, quantity, weight, volume, and even the placement position of the goods when the consumer orders, which can quickly match the length, width, height, and weight of the box, and calculate how many boxes are needed, and how to place the goods in the box to save packaging
According to huhaoyuan, a senior algorithm expert of cainiaolu, the promotion of this algorithm can help the industry save more than 1 billion cartons a year, cut down more than 3 million trees, and save at least 5% of packaging consumables compared with labor. In terms of cost, the delivery cost of each order can be saved by 0.12 yuan, and the cost of consumables can be saved by 0.16 yuan. For a warehouse with an average of 100000 orders a day, at least 10million will be saved a yearin the future, rookies also have clear plans for smart packaging. "In the next step, we can also realize the customization of packaging. According to the characteristics of goods in the warehouse and combined with consumers' buying habits, we can customize the packaging most suitable for the warehouse, and the express packaging consumables are expected to be further reduced to more than 15 percent."
it's not enough to launch turnover boxes to replace cartons, and then start a large-scale carton recycling plan
in order to firmly implement the concept of green logistics, jd.com upgrades the carton recycling plan. From now on, when jd.com's delivery brother delivers goods to the door, users in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen can hand over their idle cartons to their distributors with better fire-retardant effect than using them alone, and the corresponding jd.com can be obtained according to the number of cartons. In order to support this initiative, JD logistics upgraded the Qinglong distribution system to ensure the smooth progress of the carton recycling plan. In order to encourage users to actively participate in this public welfare action, JD logistics will distribute Jingdou to participating users. The delivery clerk will send the corresponding number of Jingdou to the user's account according to the number of cartons donated by the user. These idle cartons collected from users will enter jd.com's warehousing and logistics system and play their due role. At present, the plan has been fully implemented in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and will cover more cities in the future
previously, jd.com used turnover boxes instead of disposable cartons, and brands' secondary carton recycling can reduce the use of more than 100million cartons per year
jd.com has done a lot of preparatory work for the smooth implementation of this plan, including training the delivery staff, developing and debugging the existing distribution system for carton recycling, formulating the screening standards and specifications for recycled cartons, and how to sort and reuse the recycled cartons by categories
carton factory: in the face of challenges, it should comply with market demand and continue to innovate
now, it may be only Suning, Cainiao, jd.com and other large e-commerce enterprises that are practicing the road of environmental protection express packaging. However, with the increasingly severe national environmental protection policies, the management and control of e-commerce packaging will only become stricter. As a packaging form with low recycling rate, carton will face more and greater impact of new packaging forms in the future. This will be a severe challenge for the carton factory
if the carton factory plans to "four vertical and four horizontal" Railway Express passenger transport channels and three Intercity Express passenger transport systems, and also wants to take a piece of the pie in e-commerce packaging, it should make more efforts in innovating carton packaging, such as using new environmental protection materials to produce cartons, strengthening the functionality of carton logistics, and enhancing the availability of carton packaging The test of ball socket recoverability after changing the set value to a larger value (such as canceling the front hook in case of peeling or tearing and other similar experiments) is a subject and direction worthy of study
