Do you usually have the habit of shopping online?

The Double Eleven and Black Friday shopping festivals are coming soon. All major e-commerce companies around the world are racking their brains to promote marketing, and they have launched powerful discounts and promotions to attract purchases. Consumers only need to move their fingers and click, and online shopping products will be delivered to home immediately. Home, but  have you ever wondered how much waste is generated from packaging ?




Due to the impact of the epidemic, consumers use online shopping 3 to 4 times more frequently than before. In addition to enjoying the convenience, it also leads to a large amount of packaging waste and waste gas generated during transportation.

According to data from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) , up to 8 million tons of plastics enter the ocean every year. In addition to causing serious marine pollution, microplastics may also enter the human body along the food chain, causing unpredictable harm, so they can be reused Circular packaging is an issue that consumers, businesses and governments must all pay attention to.




The United Nations ' Carbon Emissions Gap Report 2019 states that if we take more aggressive carbon reduction actions between 2020 and 2030, reducing carbon emissions by 7.6% per year, we can limit global warming to 1.5°C and avoid causing An irreversible climate catastrophe.



It can be seen that the waste problem caused by online shopping of packaging materials has become an important topic of concern around the world, and the implementation of environmentally friendly packaging has become more urgent. How can we implement the concept of environmentally friendly packaging?


New model of online shopping packaging cycle


Taking Taiwan as an example, in order to solve the huge problem of online shopping waste, the Taiwanese start-up team PackAge + proposed the "online shopping packaging recycling model" to create reusable environmental protection packaging bags.

The packaging material is designed with recycled PET bottles as the material. The durability of the packaging material can reach 30 to 50 times . When consumers receive online shopping products at home, they can directly send the environmentally friendly bags to convenience stores for recycling.





PackAge + usage process

At present, PackAge + has cooperated with more than 40 e-commerce companies such as PChome, Shopee, and UNIQLO. The original shopping process remains unchanged, and you only need to select "recycling packaging" at checkout.




Two days later, I have received the reusable packaging bag. Before unpacking, remember to confirm whether the anti-theft tape has any visible signs or has been unpacked. PackAge + (Pekejia) has a patent anti-theft sticker to ensure that the goods are not protected from others. Unpack or steal.

Reminder: If the package is defective or damaged, please take a photo and upload it to customer service, and contact the merchant for follow-up processing!



After checking that the package is in good condition, open the package along the adhesive part of the package, and then the anti-theft sticker will display special words.





After taking out the items, scan the QR code on the recycle bag to check the nearby return point .


1. Scan the QR code of the recycle bag

At present, 12 chain companies have joined in Taiwan, with a total of more than 4,000 return bases, which is very convenient!





1. Scan the QR code on the return box




2. After decoding, open the webpage




3. Register mobile number





4. Scan the package number QR code






5. Complete the return






Take the PackAge+ recyclable packaging bag as an example. The environmentally friendly packaging bagis made of recycled plastic bottles and glass materials. It can be reused more than 50 times on average, and the average carbon emission can be reduced by 1.2kg per use, and 300 grams per time. Online shopping of packaging materials can effectively reduce the environmental burden.



Foreign case sharing


Finland
Finnish-based start-up "Plan B From Outer Space Ltd" has launched a sustainable packaging service "RePack", which allows consumers to easily return the packaging and allow sellers to reuse the packaging after receiving the goods. .

Currently, more than 40 online retailers from Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands are using the service.

RePack bags can be used at least 20 times, reducing carbon footprint by 80% and reducing packaging waste by 96%.

Consumers do not need to spend more to choose the RePack service, but only need a deposit of 1-3 euros. After returning the packaging bag, in addition to getting the deposit back, they can also get an exclusive discount code, which can be used for the next consumption.


Summarize


Affected by the epidemic in recent years, most people will use online shopping to replace physical store shopping. In addition to reducing contact and avoiding infection, major e-commerce companies have also launched online discounts, allowing consumers to buy a lot of home life without going out. Supplies often have more "outer packaging" than the purchased products. Disposable packaging has also inadvertently caused an environmental burden, which makes me feel guilty every time I

I think the concept and starting point of the "online shopping recycling bag" is very good . It is made of recycled plastic bottles and glass materials, and does not need to be re- manufactured. The packaging bags can be reused repeatedly, and there are many options for returning the packaging bags, which is very convenient.

However, it may be the reason that it is not popular enough. Not many people know about this service. When returning the bags, they found that even the clerk did not know the return process. This is a pity I think  . Perfect return procedures and reward methods, and consistent communication with partners, so that people are willing to actively participate in this service and achieve a win-win effect .
