Changsu Industry helps upgrade biodegradable tapes

Benefiting from the economic recovery of the consumer market, the “Double 11” shopping carnival is still popular after 15 years. Each major e-commerce platform shows its unique capabilities

There are endless cross-store discounts, official instant discounts, super flash sales and other activities. With the substantial increase in transaction volume, the express delivery business volume during the “Double 11” period also set a new record again.

Monitoring data from the State Post Bureau shows that from November 1 to 11, 2023, postal express companies across the country collected a total of 5.264 billion express parcels, a year-on-year increase of 23.22%. On Double Eleven alone, a total of 639 million express packages were collected. The massive growth in express delivery business has been accompanied by a large amount of discarded express packaging plastic waste.

Lin Hu, deputy director of the Market Supervision Department of the State Post Bureau, said: “Since this year, the State Post Bureau has accelerated the standardization, recycling, reduction and harmlessness of express packaging. From the fourth quarter regular press conference held by the State Post Bureau in 2023 It can be seen from the above that my country’s express packaging green management work has achieved preliminary results. In addition, China Post also launched a new fully biodegradable environmentally friendly tape (hereinafter referred to as “biodegradable tape”) this year. Under suitable conditions, this biodegradable Tape degrades directly into water and carbon dioxide.”

BOPLA BiONLY® independently developed by Changsu Industry is a biodegradable tape with the base material

BiONLY® not only has the advantages of bio-based and degradable environmental protection, but also has mechanical properties close to those of traditional tape base films.

BOPLA biodegradable tape structure

Biodegradable tapes based on BiONLY® have the following advantages:

01 Transparent and easy to print

Can be printed with color background and personalized customization

02 Easy to tear and tensile resistant

Strong transverse pulling force, suitable for manual/automatic packaging machine requirements

03 Waterproof and moisture-proof

Adapt to various outdoor scenes

04 Long shelf life

The film and viscosity are not affected by seasonal changes (the performance will not decline significantly within two years)

▲Physical and mechanical performance requirements of “Tape for Postal Industry Encapsulation: Biodegradable Tape”

▲ Physical parameters of biodegradable tapes based on BiONLY®

It can be seen from the chart that the data of the biodegradable tape based on BiONLY® fully meets the requirements for packaging tapes in the postal industry.

It is worth mentioning that in simulated aging experiments and maritime transportation experiments, BiONLY® performed well in various performances. Biodegradable tapes based on BiONLY® are used in express delivery Adhesive tape can fully meet the storage and transportation requirements of sea and land, and is more convenient for the practical application of express logistics.

As a high-performance and perfect alternative to disposable non-degradable tape base films, BiONLY® will promote the plastic ban and carbon reduction in the express logistics industry, making green packages the new normal.
