1. Matching of material properties with express logistics needs
Biodegradability: The main ingredient of P+Series PLA Coated Kraft Paper is polylactic acid (PLA), a bio-based material derived from renewable plant resources (such as corn starch). In the natural environment, PLA can be completely degraded into carbon dioxide and water, significantly reducing the environmental pollution of packaging waste. This feature is in line with the urgent demand for environmentally friendly packaging materials in the express delivery and logistics industries, helping to reduce the generation of plastic waste and promote sustainable development.
High strength and durability: Kraft paper itself has excellent strength and durability, and the addition of PLA coating further enhances its tear resistance, abrasion resistance and water resistance. This allows P+Series PLA Coated Kraft Paper to withstand various impacts and extrusions that may be encountered during express delivery and logistics, effectively protecting the safety of the items inside the package.
Printability and aesthetics: PLA-coated kraft paper has a smooth surface and good printability, and can easily print various information, such as express tracking numbers, barcodes, brand logos, etc. This not only improves the recognizability and tracking efficiency of the package, but also makes the packaging more beautiful and professional, improving the customer experience.
2. Specific applications of express delivery and logistics packaging
Express bags and envelopes: P+Series PLA Coated Kraft Paper can be made into express bags and envelopes of various sizes for packaging letters, documents, small items, etc. These express bags and envelopes not only have excellent waterproof and moisture-proof properties, but also effectively protect the contents from damage during transportation. At the same time, their biodegradability also reduces the environmental pollution of express waste.
Boxes and Pallets: For items that require more space to accommodate, P+Series PLA Coated Kraft Paper can be made into boxes and pallets. Not only are these boxes and pallets strong and stable, they can also be customized to accommodate items of varying sizes and weights. In addition, their degradability also reduces packaging waste disposal costs and environmental burden.
Cushioning materials: In the express delivery and logistics process, in order to protect the safety of valuable or fragile items, cushioning materials are often needed. P+Series PLA Coated Kraft Paper can be processed into various shapes of cushions, bubble wrap, etc., used to fill the gaps inside the package and reduce shock and vibration during transportation. These cushioning materials are also biodegradable, reducing waste generation.
3. Environmental protection benefits and sustainable development
Reduce plastic use: P+Series PLA Coated Kraft Paper, as a biodegradable material, can replace traditional plastic packaging materials, thereby reducing the generation of plastic waste. This helps alleviate the problem of plastic pollution and protect the ecological environment.
Reduced carbon emissions: Compared with traditional plastic packaging, P+Series PLA Coated Kraft Paper produces lower carbon emissions during the production and use process. This is because PLA is derived from renewable plant resources, and the carbon emissions during its production can be partially offset through photosynthesis of plants. In addition, since PLA releases carbon dioxide and water during its degradation process, its life cycle carbon emissions are relatively low.
Promote circular economy: The biodegradability of P+Series PLA Coated Kraft Paper allows it to quickly decompose in the natural environment and return to nature. This helps promote the development of a circular economy and achieve resource reuse and environmental sustainability.
4. Market Outlook and Challenges
As consumers become more aware of environmental protection and the government strengthens environmental policies, P+Series PLA Coated Kraft Paper has broad application prospects in the express delivery and logistics packaging fields. However, issues such as its relatively high production cost and market acceptance still need to be improved are also current challenges. In the future, with the advancement of technology and the maturity of the market, these problems are expected to be solved, and P+Series PLA Coated Kraft Paper will become one of the mainstream packaging materials in the express delivery and logistics industry.
