The development of science and technology has provided convenience to people’s lives. With the acceleration of the pace of life, online shopping has become an indispensable part of today’s life. Here, the editor would like to introduce to you the plastic problem of express parcels.
Most of the packaging materials used for express delivery in my country are plastics, foams and other products made from domestic garbage, chemical waste, etc., which contain a large amount of harmful substances such as plasticizers, flame retardants, etc. When these chemicals enter the human body, they will affect the blood and organs of the human body. Some people’s hands become itchy and allergic after unpacking. This is because of the toxic substances such as plasticizers in the packaging bags. The tape wrapped around the package contains a large amount of polyvinyl chloride, which can damage the respiratory tract and skin if it enters the human body. Therefore, in our daily life, we should avoid chewing packaging bags with our teeth, use scissors and other tools to unpack, and wash our hands after coming into contact with plastic objects.
In addition to express packages, there are many plastic packages that we come into contact with in daily life, such as various small packaged snacks, supermarket shopping bags, food packaging bags, etc. Most of these plastic bags are produced using inferior raw materials and contain a large amount of toxic substances, which may cause cancer if people use them for a long time.
