- Abstract
With the strong development of e-commerce driving the growth of the express delivery industry, the levels of consumption of packaging materials and the pollution of the environment are becoming increasingly severe, which means that coordinated measures need to be taken by the government, enterprises, and the market. To regulate the consumption of packaging materials and control environmental pollution, in this paper, we analyze the current situation regarding packaging pollution in online commodities sales, the urgency of control, the causes of the excessive consumption of packaging materials, and pollution based on the externality theory and combined with the actual situation. Based on international experience, we put forward innovative suggestions regarding system governance in terms of the definition of property rights, financial subsidies, tax incentives, the optimization of the logistics and transportation system, improvements in community waste classification, and other aspects.
