4月6日,国家邮政局召开二季度例行新闻发布会,对《邮件快件包装管理办法》进行解读。
The State Post Bureau launches a yearlong campaign this month to crack down on excessive packaging and promote more environmentally friendly package wrapping.
国家邮政局于4月份正式启动为期一年的过度包装专项治理,推动快递包装绿色环保。
【单词讲解】
Packaging作为“包装”来讲有两层意思,一层是客观上的“包装”,即“把物品装在盒子里或包裹起来”,比如,gift packaging(礼物包装);另一层意思的“包装”指“某人或某物公开展示的方式(以使其更具吸引力)”,比如,the packaging of ideas, the execution of them, and the media coverage surrounding them, this is public relations(理念的包装、执行以及媒体的相关报道,这些就是公关)。
今年3月施行的《邮件快件包装管理办法》规定:
Logistics companies must draw up packaging standards and train couriers to wrap packages accordingly to reduce waste and avoid over-packaging.
物流公司应制定包装标准,培训快递员按规定进行包装,以减少浪费,避免过度包装。
Companies can choose green packaging materials from an approved list and establish a standard way to wrap parcels.
企业可从国家认可的清单中选择绿色包装材料,建立快件包装标准流程。
The guideline also requires companies to deliver parcels appropriately, banning behavior such as tossing and stamping on parcels.
办法要求寄递企业规范操作和文明作业,避免抛扔、踩踏等行为。
Companies are also being encouraged to use recyclable multiuse boxes to transport and deliver items.
鼓励企业使用可循环多次使用的包装物来运送和投递物品。
快递行业发展迅猛,包装垃圾需重视
The country handled 83 billion parcels last year, a year-on-year increase of 30.8 percent, and is expected to handle 95 billion this year.
2020年,我国处理的包裹数量达到830亿件,同比增加30.8%。今年的快递包裹数量有望达到950亿件。
The growth of the parcel delivery business has made people's lives easier and more convenient, but it has also produced more packaging waste, posing challenges for environmental protection.
快递业的发展让人们的生活更加便捷,但同时也产生了更多包装垃圾,对环境保护带来挑战。
胶带(tape)、缓冲气泡袋(cushions)以及塑料袋(plastic bags)等包装材料的主要成分是聚氯乙烯(polyvinyl chloride),这些材料使用过后一般都被送往垃圾掩埋场(landfills),需要数百年才能降解,如果对这些材料进行燃烧处理,则会产生污染物(pollutants)。
去年,国家邮政局发展研究中心发布的《中国邮政快递业绿色发展报告(2019-2020年)》重申,到2025年年底,全国范围邮政快递网点禁止使用不可降解的塑料包装袋、塑料胶带和一次性塑料编织袋(cease the use of non-degradable plastic packaging, plastic tape, and single-use plastic woven bags)。
