How to control the growing phenomenon of excessive gift packaging

Candy, liquor, tea and native products on the market are beautifully packaged and dazzling, and their value is "even jumping several levels". For example, tea after luxury packaging is nearly twice as expensive as unpackaged tea, and the so-called luxury packaging costs only a few tens of dollars. Mr. Li, the owner of the tea shop, said that during the Spring Festival, packaged goods are particularly popular, and many consumers have buried orders for face.

Mr. Li: The manufacturer will only have this kind of packaging if the customer's requirements are different. If you drink it yourself, you will buy it in bulk, but if you give gifts, you are advised to buy packaged ones and send handbags, which look better on your face.

After over-packaged goods are consumed, where does the outer packaging go?

Consumer: Look at my room. The gift boxes are full. It's a pity to throw them away. Sell them as waste products. It feels too bad!

Consumer: The gift box packaging is not as valuable as waste newspapers. If you can sell it, you can sell it as waste. If you can't sell it, you can throw it away. It's useless to keep it.

These large numbers of discarded boxes and bags not only cause a waste of resources, but also have an adverse impact on the environment.

Staff of the Pollution Control Section of the Environmental Protection Bureau of Pingdingshan City, Henan Province: The packaging of the goods is solid waste. In addition to direct utilization, recycling and conversion, a large part of it will be directly landfilled as domestic waste. In recent years, the solid waste formed by excessive packaging of commodities is gradually increasing. Although the pollution caused by it is not obvious at present, it should not be underestimated over time.
