The city’s “plastic tape ban” is accelerating! BiONLY Assists in the Implementation of BOPLA Tape Program

Shanghai’s ” plastic tape ban” is accelerating! Recently, the Shanghai Postal Administration issued the “Key Points for Ecological and Environmental Protection Work in the Shanghai Postal Industry in 2023”, which advanced the “plastic tape ban” goal by two years and stipulated that by the end of 2023, all postal and express service outlets in Shanghai will be prohibited from using non-degradable plastic tape.

With the implementation of the national plastic restrictions, the “green trend” of plastic restrictions and bans has swept the postal system and the whole industry. According to China Post Express News, by the end of September 2022, 2 laws, 1 administrative regulation, 2 regulations, 15 national and industrial standards, and 15 policy documents related to express packaging that are compatible with the green concept have been introduced; The postal management departments of various provinces (districts, cities) continue to promote local governments to implement their territorial responsibilities for industry pollution prevention and control. Over a hundred supportive policies have been introduced in various regions to address the ecological and environmental protection of the postal industry. Among them, jointly implementing the ” plastic tape ban” has also become one of the irreversible trends.

Policies of Some Provinces Regarding the Prohibition of Plastic Tape

It is not difficult to see from the policies of various regions that on the road of ” plastic tape ban”, a magnificent green transformation is being carried out from the country to the local level! The continuous emergence of new technologies, products, and solutions has also contributed to this transformation, continuously promoting the green transformation and upgrading of tape, the express delivery industry, and even the entire postal system.

BiONLY® — Accelerating the “plastic tape ban” from the material side

Among a series of solutions to address the “plastic tape ban”, zipper boxes, buckle boxes, and environmentally friendly tape (ordinary flat box) are undoubtedly the most important strategies. According to industry insiders’ analysis, from the perspective of express packaging costs, the total cost of flat box and BOPLA tape is reduced by about 25% compared to zipper box and buckle box; From the perspective of anti-impact, the actual performance of BOPLA tape is significantly better than that of cellulose tape and Kraft paper tape. Therefore, from a comprehensive perspective of cost advantages, safety performance, and other aspects, BOPLA tape is currently the optimal solution for ” plastic tape ban “.

BiONLY®, a new biodegradable film independently developed by Xiamen Changsu, has excellent mechanical properties and controllable degradation characteristics. Used as an adhesive tape base film, it can better meet the tensile strength requirements of the express tape, and ensure that the performance of the adhesive tape will not change significantly within the service cycle of the product, and does not affect the normal use of the express industry. After use, under industrial composting conditions, all the waste can be degraded into water and carbon dioxide in as soon as eight weeks, which is environmentally friendly.

Aging test data

Sea Transport Data

It is worth mentioning that in the simulated aging experiment and sea transportation experiment, BiONLY ® The performance of BiONLY® are good, it can be concluded that apply BiONLY in express tape, can fully meet the sea and land storage, transportation requirements, more convenient for the practical application of express logistics.
