Core Viewpoint - The rapid development of fresh e-commerce and cold chain delivery has led to an increase in the disposal of foam boxes and ice bags, which are often discarded despite their high recycling value and potential for reuse or degradation [1] Industry Challenges - Foam boxes and ice bags are commonly found in urban waste, contributing to increased garbage disposal pressure and resource waste [1] - The recycling chain is fragmented, with delivery companies typically only responsible for delivery and lacking a system for packaging recovery [1] - Community waste classification systems are improving but still lack specific guidelines and facilities for the recovery of cold chain packaging [1] - Public awareness regarding the recyclability of these packaging materials is insufficient, leading to indiscriminate disposal [1] Proposed Solutions - Delivery companies should implement producer responsibility extension systems and collaborate with communities to establish dedicated recovery points, incentivizing consumers to return foam boxes and ice bags through vouchers or points [1] - Communities should include cold chain packaging in their recycling categories, provide specialized collection containers, and enhance public awareness campaigns [1] - Policy measures are needed to support recycling companies, such as subsidies, and to promote the research and application of recycling technologies [1] Sustainability Impact - Establishing a systematic and regular cold chain packaging recovery process can significantly reduce resource waste and enhance urban sustainability [1] - This initiative is a test of corporate social responsibility and a crucial step towards building a "waste-free city" [1]
