The environmental advantages of cardboard boxes are not just empty talk but a practical compliance guarantee that can be implemented. In January 2025, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the "Guiding Opinions on the Green Transformation of the Packaging Industry", which clearly stated that by 2027, the usage rate of recyclable and degradable packaging materials should be increased to 60%. The corrugated boxes we use fully conform to this trend - the raw materials are mainly recycled and reused from waste paper. For every ton of corrugated paper produced, 17 big trees and 100 cubic meters of water can be saved. Last year, the mooncake gift box packaging we customized for a certain baking brand was made of recycled corrugated paper and printed with degradable ink. It not only passed the national green packaging certification but was also used by the client as a highlight of the brand's environmental protection promotion. The repurchase rate of its products increased by 15%.
Environmental protection brings not only policy dividends but also cost advantages. Many people think that eco-friendly materials must be more expensive, but cardboard boxes are just the opposite. We did a calculation: For packaging of the same specification, the raw material cost of plastic gift boxes is about 12,000 yuan per ton, while that of recycled corrugated boxes is only 6,800 yuan per ton, reducing the cost by 43%. More importantly, the recycling system for cardboard boxes is mature. We cooperate with local waste recycling enterprises. The cardboard boxes used by customers can be recycled at 0.8 yuan per kilogram, which not only reduces the processing cost for customers but also makes our packaging solutions more attractive.
