The Development of Green Package Development Strategy of Logistics Packaging Culture

3. Logistics Culture System and Logistics Packaging Culture

As a concept, logistics culture is difficult to understand. It requires us to deconstruct and analyze logistics culture.

The logistics system is composed of subsystems such as packaging, storage, transportation, inspection, circulation processing, and before and after sorting, repackaging, and distribution. The transport and storage subsystem is the main component of the logistics system. Through the storage and transportation of goods, logistics realizes its own time and space benefits and meets the requirements of trading activities and company operations. Therefore, the logistics culture system includes subsystems such as logistics packaging culture, logistics technology culture, logistics credit culture, logistics transportation culture, and logistics management culture. These subsystems are related to each other and interact with each other, leading to the optimization of the entire logistics culture system. The relationship between logistics culture and logistics packaging culture, logistics technology and culture, logistics and credit culture, logistics and transportation culture, and logistics management and culture subsystems are shown in the figure.

Modern commodity packaging refers to the generic term “container, material, and auxiliary material used for the purpose of protecting the product during circulation, facilitating storage and transportation, promoting sales, and adopting certain technical methods” (GB4122-83 “Packaging General Terms”). This shows that modern commodity packaging has not only been limited to production packaging that protects the quality and quantity of goods, but also includes circulation packaging, sales packaging, and consumer packaging that facilitate circulation, sales, and convenience.

Logistics packaging culture is an important part of logistics culture. It is a cultural embodiment that combines logistics needs, processing and manufacturing, marketing, product design requirements, and green packaging. Its main purpose is to protect logistics goods in the phase of logistics and transportation, including earthquake protection technology, anti-breakage protection technology, anti-rust packaging technology, anti-mold packaging technology, insect control packaging technology, dangerous goods packaging technology, and special packaging technology.

The purpose of logistics packaging culture is to achieve green packaging through the improvement of logistics packaging technology, management, and organizational level under the guidance of sustainable development theory.

4. Sustainable development and green packaging

With the increasing degree of social civilization, the economic development must be based on the maintenance of the global environment. The development and utilization of resources in the modern era must be conducive to the maintenance of the next generation of environment and the sustainable use of resources. The basic content of sustainable development includes the following five points: (1) development is the key; (2) economic and environmental protection are developed to make it an organic whole; (3) a reasonable and effective economic and political operating mechanism should be established; (4) ) People's own development needs are compatible with the development of resources and the environment. People should abandon traditional production methods and lifestyles; (5) Establish a new and modern cultural concept.

One of the principles of sustainable development is to make today's commodity production, circulation and consumption not affect the environment and resource conditions of future production, circulation and consumption of commodities. Applying this principle to modern logistics management activities requires that the modern logistics system be studied from the perspective of environmental protection to form an integrated logistics system that is symbiotic with the environment, changing the one-way relationship between the original economic development and logistics. , inhibiting logistics from harming the environment, and at the same time forming a modern logistics system that can promote the healthy development of economy and consumer life. This logistics system is the green logistics, but also the development direction of logistics culture.

Green packaging is a package that meets environmental requirements. It requires that the packaging of goods harmless to ecological balance and harmless to human health. Specifically, green packaging generally refers to the use of packaging materials to save resources and minimize packaging waste. It facilitates recycling, reuse, and regeneration after use to become other useful materials; it occupies less land and is easily degraded. In international trade, any environmental protection measure may be a trade barrier while benefiting environmental protection. Therefore, trade disputes caused by the environmental protection requirements of packaging have accelerated the development of green packaging in countries around the world. For example, Austria began implementing new packaging regulations in October 1993; the British government requires packaging material manufacturers to develop plans for the reuse of packaging waste. Other countries and regions, especially developed countries and regions, also have positive responses to green packaging.

5. Green Packaging Strategy Based on Logistics Packaging Culture

5.1 Strengthen Green Packaging Awareness

At present, many companies still focus their attention on the protection of the value of the use of goods when packaging products, while seldom consider environmental protection issues. In today's "green wave" sweeping the world, companies should establish a green marketing concept, and further recognize the status and role of green packaging in the field of international circulation. It should be clearly understood that the development of green packaging not only can reduce energy consumption and material consumption, reduce costs and reduce pollution, but also can enhance corporate image, increase consumers' sense of corporate identity and trust, and thus improve the product's international competitiveness.

5.2 Making full use of recyclable containers

China has a large population and the total amount of packaging waste is high, causing serious pollution to the ecological environment. In addition, China is still a large developing country. Its economic strength is not strong and per capita resources are insufficient. However, waste utilization rate is very low, and the paper recycling rate is only 15%. At the same time, China has imported hundreds of thousands of tons of pulp each year with a large amount of foreign exchange, resulting in the waste of resources and the outflow of foreign exchange. To solve this problem, recyclable containers should be widely used in logistics packaging. Recyclable containers have always been part of the logistics system. Most reusable packaging products are steel or plastic packaging. However, there is a tendency for many small items and parts, such as spices, to also be transported between factories using recyclable protection materials and between warehouses and retail stores. The use of recyclable packaging is becoming more and more common. They all have one thing in common: they all have a complete marking system to control the circulation of containers. In recyclable packaging systems, the parties must explicitly use this marking to maximize the use of the container. Otherwise, the container will be lost, misplaced or forgotten.

5.3 Grouping of Industrial Logistics

In industrial packaging, individual goods and parts boxes, bags, boxes, and barrels are usually grouped to improve the efficiency of operation and management. These containers are used to group fragmented commodities into MCSs. When MCSs are grouped into larger units, they are called containerization or grouping. The basic method of grouping consists of a rigid method of forming a unit load of a container and a method of grouping a carrier tool. Containerization encompasses all forms of grouping from grouping two MCSs together to grouping using specialized transport equipment. All types of containerization have a basic purpose, which is to improve the efficiency of material handling. And can save packaging energy, prevent product leakage and pollute the environment, so as to achieve the purpose of green packaging.

5.4 Strengthening Design Research of Green Packaging

From the point of view of China's export packaging, there are problems with poor material quality, poor gasketing, unreasonable transport strapping, unclean appearance, and lack of hygiene standards. In the face of green packaging requirements in the international market, we must vigorously promote the development of packaging technology.

The cost of paper in China is higher than that of plastics, which makes the environmental protection requirements of the packaging contradict with the interests of the enterprise. There is a contradiction between environmental protection and economic growth. To resolve this contradiction, we must increase technological content, improve technology, and reduce costs. At present, China's plastics, rubber and other industries have developed rapidly. Fresh raw materials have been declining. Recycling companies are lagging behind in recycling technology, and high collection and transportation costs have caused higher costs. The difference between the two is getting smaller and smaller. . Therefore, we must constantly devote ourselves to the research, development and utilization of new technologies and new processes, accelerate the improvement of recycling technologies, reduce the cost of recycled raw materials, and develop green packaging materials in order to occupy the market more powerfully in the further future.

6. Conclusion

Logistics is not only an economic phenomenon but also a cultural phenomenon. We call it logistics culture. Culture, humanization too. Human beings use their unique minds to constantly change the attitude of beings in the world in accordance with their own needs, so that the world is full of “popularity”. Such a process is a cultural process. This article proposes the concepts of logistics culture and logistics packaging culture and explains it to some extent. Based on this, a green packaging strategy based on the logistics packaging culture was proposed, hoping to achieve the purpose of attracting ideas, in order to make logistics culture play a greater role in China's modernization.
