In the future, 50,000 recycling boxes will be laid across the country.

As the initiator of the "back box plan" plan, Niu Zhijing, head of the green action of the rookie, said that the 1,000 express outlets with recycling boxes will become the "green public welfare" at the door of the residents, which is convenient for the public to classify and recycle the express packaging, and also welcomes the residents to recycle the express packaging, reducing the unnecessary use of express packaging from the source to the terminal.

In fact, many people in Shanghai have been no stranger to express packaging recycling boxes.

For example, in the Minhang campus of Shanghai Jiao Tong University Cainiao station, there is a special classification and recycling area, not only express packaging delivery desk, classification delivery port, but also tables and chairs for teachers and students in the station unpacking, classification delivery. The delivery table and the delivery port have implemented the separation, classification and recycling of paper and plastic, so that the express carton and plastic stuffing can be recycled, and provided to the people who come to the station to send mail for free reuse; In Shanghai University of Finance and Economics Cainiao Station, more than 3,000 packages are collected and sent here every day, producing a large number of cartons, in order to promote the recycling of cartons and green mail, the station has set up 3 green recycling boxes, convenient for students to unpack and donate cartons.

To this end, this time Shentong, Zhongtong, YTO, Yunda, Best and other express also actively participated in the recycling box program, using their express terminal sites throughout the community to promote green recycling boxes.
