In the past three months, the express delivery business volume has achieved a continuous jump from 50 billion pieces to 60 billion pieces and then to 70 billion pieces.

  What is the speed of express delivery?

Rely on digitization and intelligence.

  During the "Double 11" period, there was an extra express packaging recycling box next to the Ximen Express delivery point of Communication University of China.

"After taking the package, unpacking and inspecting the goods on the spot, then put the package into the recycling bin without any effort." said Chen Yue, a student at Communication University of China.

  Recyclable transit bags and packaging boxes are used to "slim down" the mass-used tapes, and e-commerce express mail is no longer repackaged... This year's "Double 11", the express industry has many environmental protection measures.

Up to now, the packaging ratio of "slim tape" in the express delivery industry has reached 94.3%, the e-commerce express mail no longer has a secondary packaging rate of 68.5%, the use rate of recyclable transit bags has reached 87.2%, and the country has added 35,000 standard packaging recycling boxes.
