绿色消费是国合会高度关注的议题之一。国合会“绿色转型与可持续社会治理”专题政策研究项目在相关领域开展了研究，提出“鼓励行业绿色包装发展，促进物流包装绿色转型。将绿色包装产业纳入《绿色产业指导目录》，促进包装再制造、生物可降解包装的发展。”国合会研究成果和提出的政策建议得到中国政府的高度重视。近日，市场监管总局、发展改革委、科技部、工业和信息化部、生态环境部、住房城乡建设部、商务部、国家邮政局等八部门联合印发《关于加强快递绿色包装标准化工作的指导意见》（以下简称《意见》），体现了国合会的积极贡献。

Green consumption has long been a topic of significant concern for the China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED). The CCICED launched a Special Policy Study (SPS) on "Green Transition and Sustainable Social Governance" that encourages green packaging in industry and logistics. The SPS advocates incorporating the express industry into the green industry guide; a step intended to facilitate package remanufacturing and development of biodegradable packaging. The research outcomes and policy recommendations raised by the CCICED are highly valued by the Chinese government. Recently, eight ministries and departments, including the State Administration for Market Regulation, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, and the State Post Bureau, jointly issued a document on stepping up the standardization of green packaging in the express industry that reflects the contribution of the CCICED.

《意见》提出到2022年底前，制定实施快递包装材料无害化强制性国家标准，基本建立覆盖全面、重点突出、结构合理的快递绿色包装标准体系。

According to the document, China will have set a mandatory national standard for harmless express packaging material and have basically established a wide-ranging, prioritized and well-constructed standard system for green packaging in the express industry by the end of 2022.

据估算，我国快递业每年消耗的纸类废弃物超过900万吨、塑料废弃物约180万吨，并呈快速增长趋势，对环境造成的影响不容忽视。加强快递绿色包装标准化工作，支撑妥善处理快递包装污染问题，已成为行业转型升级、可持续发展的内在要求。

It is estimated that the domestic express industry generates over nine million tons of paper waste and about 1.8 million tons of plastic waste per year, which are both showing a growing trend and whose damage to the environment thus cannot be ignored. It has become an interior requirement for the transformation, upgrading and sustainable development of industries to standardize green packaging in the express industry and solve the pollution problems caused by express packaging.

《意见》紧扣快递包装治理“绿色化、减量化、可循环”的要求，提出了未来三年我国快递绿色包装标准化工作的总体目标，列出了标准体系优化、重点标准研制、标准实施监督、标准国际化等4个方面8项重点任务。《意见》的出台，将加速快递包装新材料、新技术、新产品相关成果转化为标准，不断完善标准与法律政策协调配套的快递绿色包装治理体系。

Focusing on the requirement of "greening, reducing and recycling" express packaging, the document puts forward the overall goal of standardizing green packaging in the domestic express industry in the next three years and lists eight key tasks, each of which must fulfill the four aspects of optimizing a standard system, creating key standards, supervising standard implementation and internationalizing the standard. The release of the document will accelerate transformation of the express packaging's new material, new technology and new capabilities into standards. Also, it will improve the governance system of green packaging in the express industry, with standards and policies working in tandem.

下一步，市场监管总局将按照《意见》部署，持续研制发布一批以绿色理念为引领的重要标准，不断完善覆盖设计、材料、生产、使用、评价、回收利用、处置等全生命周期的快递绿色包装标准体系，以标准助力快递包装“绿色革命”。

Next, the State Administration for Market Regulation, in accordance with the document, will continue to establish and release a number of important standards guided by green concepts and keep improving the standard system of green packaging in the express industry, covering the full life cycle of design, material, production, use, evaluation, recycling and disposal, so as to foster an express packaging's "green revolution".
