Sellers are stocking up crazily, e-commerce platforms are marketing crazily, and logistics express companies are also lining up in advance. Uncle Zhang, the community cleaner downstairs in my house, also urgently called his daughter-in-law, cousin and brother-in-law who lived in the countryside to prepare for the war in the city.
According to Uncle Zhang's experience, every year on the Double Eleven, express boxes are thrown in the corridors and garbage bins of various communities. As long as you are diligent enough, it is easy for a family to sweep a building for a week and earn one or two thousand yuan.
Uncle Zhang's careful thinking reflects the big problem in the e-commerce era: behind the national shopping passion, express packaging has become one of the main sources of pollution in society.
According to the data released by Greenpeace, a global environmental protection organization, the consumption of various express packaging materials in China increased from 20,600 tons in 2000 to 9410.23 million tons in 20 18, which brought huge resource burden and environmental pressure.
At present, all logistics enterprises are accelerating the green transformation, strengthening the technological innovation of green operation, and constantly improving the green level of logistics, and are transforming into green logistics with low pollution, low consumption, low emission, high efficiency and high benefit.
So, what is the current development of green logistics?
SF, Rookie and Suning have entered the game one after another, each with its own emphasis.
In the past few years, almost all logistics enterprises and express delivery companies have issued green logistics strategies, but most of them emphasize responsibility, but they are stingy with investment. Green slogans are shouted a lot, but the form is greater than the content.
Leading enterprises in the logistics industry, such as SF, Cainiao and Suning, choose to invest real money in green logistics and explore the low-carbon road of the logistics industry from different directions.
SF Technology Packaging Laboratory was established on 20 17, dedicated to the research of "recyclable" packaging materials. In 20 18, the laboratory introduced * * * recycling bins, each of which has a service life of dozens or even hundreds of times. Theoretically,10 million recycling bins can replace 500 million cartons.
Unlike SF's strategy of focusing on research and development, rookie logistics focuses on recycling. Cainiao Logistics launched the "Green Logistics 2020 Plan" on 20 18, relying on rookie stations widely distributed throughout the country to carry out the container return plan, advocating users to disassemble the courier at the station site, recycle the courier box, and realize resource reuse.
The green strategy of Suning Logistics started earlier. As early as 20 14, Suning Logistics officially launched the research and application of green packaging, and explored a wider range than SF Express and Rookie. From packaging recycling, electronic face sheets, slimming tapes to * * * express boxes. , launched a series of measures to lead the industry in the field of green logistics thinking and application. The * * * express box developed by Suning Logistics has realized the iteration of several generations of products.
In 20 18, Suning Logistics will strategically assemble around various innovative projects explored by green logistics, launch a larger "Qingcheng Plan", and carry out a series of green new products, new equipment and new models from four aspects: logistics warehousing, packaging, transportation and terminal, so as to promote the landing of full-link green logistics express city in China.
Suning Logistics' "Qingcheng Plan" even goes further than SF Express and Rookie. It also joined forces with influential media, enjoyed the express box jointly by the media, and launched the experiential green logistics public welfare, which not only enabled more people to truly experience the green logistics service, but also exerted the green and low-carbon awareness of the whole society and popularized education on a larger level.
Generally speaking, when the early logistics giants promoted green logistics, they mainly focused on the research and development and recycling of green express packaging. SF has developed the most products related to green packaging, from recycling bins to woven bags made of PET materials. The rookie's box return plan is the way to recycle express boxes with the most recycling stations and the lowest cost. Suning's logistics layout is the earliest, involving the most green logistics links and the most comprehensive system.
Technology-driven full-scene green logistics system has become industry knowledge.
Now, green logistics has started a new journey, and technology-driven has become a new driving force. With the application of Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data and other modern information technologies, intelligence is becoming the biggest help for logistics greening. It has become industry knowledge to build a full-scene green logistics system.
Mode innovation in the field of commercial circulation has greatly improved the convenience of life in this commercial world, and also brought huge environmental burden, while scientific research and development and technological evolution have become the only hope to reduce the environmental burden and restore the green world.
At present, SF, Cainiao and Suning all focus on scientific research and development, and make efforts in green packaging, distribution and warehousing to carry out green logistics with low pollution, low consumption, low emission, high efficiency and high benefit to the end. Especially in the aspect of green warehousing, SF, Cainiao and Suning all show their magical powers and are committed to building efficient, safe, high-quality and environmentally-friendly logistics parks and distribution centers.
On the roof of Guangzhou Zengcheng Cainiao Network Smart Logistics Park, solar panels continuously convert light energy into electric energy, with an annual power generation of 6.5438+million kWh, which can meet all the power demand of the park.
In Pudong, Shanghai, SF DHL automatic warehouse adopts box-type goods-to-people robot instead of manual work, which greatly improves the efficiency of the warehouse and realizes information management through efficient cooperative operation in the warehouse. To upgrade from "people looking for goods" to "goods to people", warehousing and efficiency are Qi Fei.
In Shanghai, Nanjing and other places, in Suning Smart Green Warehouse, new energy-saving forklifts are being automated, and human-machine collaboration has greatly improved the efficiency of commodity selection. Moreover, all electrical appliances in the warehouse adopt energy-saving equipment, and the energy efficiency rating of air conditioners is above Grade 2. Energy-saving fans are also used for ventilation, and the main building adopts renewable materials.
Moreover, the green strategy of Suning Logistics has penetrated into the whole logistics operation process from warehousing to trunk line and from transit to delivery. From the perspective of science and technology, Suning Logistics optimizes every link that may pollute the environment, and establishes a refreshing green logistics link with high technology efficiency, alternative materials and brand-new environmental protection operation norms.
Major logistics enterprises are accelerating the green transformation, strengthening the technological innovation of green operation, and constantly improving the level of green logistics construction. Use smart logistics to incite multiple links of logistics, and use big data to guide warehouse storage operations, so as to accurately locate goods and improve work efficiency.
The thorny road of green logistics requires both pattern and persistence.
Like all green environmental protection projects, green logistics has always been a thorny road, with high investment, slow effect and long time consuming. Finally, it depends on the pattern and persistence of the enterprise.
At this year's two sessions, Zhang, chairman of Suning Holding Group, made suggestions on green logistics for three consecutive years and took the lead in promoting it in enterprises. But every aspect of Suning's promotion of green logistics is "tossed" by real money. There is not only the overall pattern of Qingcheng Plan's full-link green logistics solution, but also the top-down persistence and implementation of the whole enterprise, which has achieved good results in green packaging and green terminals.
Green logistics is the necessity of sustainable development of modern logistics. March 2009 1, 2065438, led by the National Development and Reform Commission, 24 ministries and commissions jointly issued the Opinions on Promoting the High-quality Development of Logistics and Promoting the Formation of a Strong Domestic Market. Article 14 clearly puts forward "accelerating the development of green logistics", taking green logistics as a breakthrough to drive upstream and downstream enterprises to develop green supply chains. In February this year, the State Post Bureau upgraded the environmental protection target of express delivery to "9792 Project", thus promoting the development of green logistics.
The development of green logistics involves many aspects such as society, environment and economy, and it is a long-term coordinated development mechanism. Governments at all levels, logistics express, e-commerce and packaging enterprises need to form a joint force, pay equal attention to pattern and persistence, and explore the future of green logistics.
I believe that in the near future, Uncle Zhang's Double Eleven won't make extra money in picking up cartons, but he and his family in the village will have a greener world. In the green world, they don't have to work hard to clean up the garbage generated in this world, and they also have the opportunity to gain more benefits around green logistics.
