E-paper helps ‘zero-waste intelligent logistics’

June 1, 2025 onwards, the state to improve the comprehensive support policy, promote express packaging green, reduce, recyclable, encourage scientific and technological innovation, support the use of new technologies, new materials, new technology research and development, the production of express packaging in line with the requirements of green environmental protection. Among them, electronic paper display technology with its unique advantages, is expected to become one of the key technologies to promote the landing of the policy, play an important role in the field of express packaging, to promote the industry to green, intelligent direction.

Green logistics future: ‘digital + cycle’ double drive

　　Green is the primary goal of the whole chain of express governance. Data from the State Post Bureau shows that in 2024, the full coverage of recycled packaging in the express transit link will be achieved, and the proportion of recyclable packaging used in same-city express delivery will reach 9%. The State Post Bureau has clearly put forward the goal that by the end of 2025, the use of recyclable express packaging for mail express reaches 1 billion pieces.

The executive meeting of the State Council re-emphasised that recycled packaging can be recycled through technological innovation, structural design, intelligent identification and data visualisation, with features such as packaging recycling without waste, controllable and reducible costs, and can make use of the technology of intelligent analysis of big data and real-time monitoring of the whole process to enhance the greening and intelligent level of the logistics and express delivery industry.

E-paper technology: green and intelligent transformation of the ‘invisible pusher’.

Epaper display technology coincides with the future development of two major trends in logistics. On the one hand, the reusable characteristics of e-paper, greatly reducing the generation of packaging waste, in line with the concept of green environmental protection; on the other hand, the fusion of e-paper and intelligent technology for the courier packaging has brought more innovative applications to enhance the safety and reliability of express transport.

Electronic face sheet replacement: e-paper face sheet can be recycled, the life of a single screen up to 100,000 times, the annual savings of more than 10 tonnes of paper / outlets.

Circular packaging smart labels: epaper labels integrated RFID chip, real-time update of logistics information, to solve the problem of information traceability in the circulation of recycling boxes, support temperature and humidity monitoring, collision early warning, and provide value-added services for fresh produce and precision instruments.

Warehouse management digitisation: replace the traditional e-paper shelf labels, dynamic display of inventory information, reduce printing consumables and artificial maintenance costs.

The landing of the new State Council regulations is not only a response to the responsibility of environmental protection, but also a revolution in the sustainable development of the logistics industry chain. E-paper technology as a bridge between policy and market, is redefining the value of empowering ‘green packaging’, a ‘zero-waste intelligent logistics’ era is within reach.

In the face of the trend of green change in the logistics industry, as a global professional e-paper display technology manufacturing service provider, we will rely on our own deep accumulation in the field of e-paper display module for 20 years, actively respond to the call for policy, and continue to optimise and innovate the e-paper products to meet the needs of logistics scenarios, so as to provide a more efficient, stable and green solution for logistics applications.
