Plastic vs. Paper Delivery Bags: Who's the Real Environmental Champion?

October 24, 2025

Behind the joy of unpacking a package lies a crisis of over 9 million tons of packaging waste each year!

"Your package has arrived!"
These words always bring joy. But once scissors slice through the layers of packaging, the mountains of plastic bubble bags and kraft paper boxes become a happy nuisance.

As the deadline for the full implementation of the national "plastic ban" approaches in 2025, express packaging is undergoing a silent revolution. These "old rivals"—plastic bags and paper bags—are locked in an unprecedented battle over performance, cost, and environmental sustainability...

I. The Environmental Arena: Will Paper Bags Win First?

Tear open a typical plastic delivery bag and you'll find it's often made of a PET/PE composite material. While this material is moisture-resistant and impact-resistant, it takes hundreds of years to fully degrade. Tens of billions of discarded plastic bags are filling our land and oceans every year!

In contrast, paper delivery bags are naturally environmentally friendly:

  • They decompose naturally within 90 days and return to the soil.
  • They can be recycled 5-7 times, increasing resource utilization by 60%.
  • The production process emits 30% less carbon than plastic.

There's no turning back on the green revolution in express packaging. When you scan the QR code to pick up your package at a delivery station, every bag you choose is a vote for the future.

The battle between plastic and paper bags will eventually yield a better solution: perhaps a more powerful bio-based material, or perhaps a packaging revolution driven by smart logistics. But one thing is certain: the era of excessive packaging, often layered inside and out, is rapidly fading.

After unpacking your package, take three extra seconds to place the intact paper bag in the recycling bin and the plastic film in the designated trash can. This small act is quietly changing the future of our planet.
