Heilongjiang's Eight Departments Issue Green Express Packaging Roadmap, Targeting Full Non-Degradable Plastic Ban by 2025
Eight government departments in Heilongjiang Province have jointly released a new policy document, the Opinions on Accelerating the Green Transformation of Express Packaging in Heilongjiang Province. Under the plan, all non-degradable plastic packaging materials will be prohibited across the province by 2025, when express packaging is also expected to achieve a basic green transition.
The Opinions outline a multi-pronged approach: strengthening green governance for express packaging, tightening standards for e-commerce and courier operations, boosting the availability of green products, developing new recyclable packaging models, and creating a regulatory and policy framework aligned with green development goals.
The document also sets intermediate milestones. In 2021, two special campaigns are to be deepened—one targeting packaging bags that exceed limits for heavy metals and specific substances, and another addressing excessive packaging. In addition, the share of e-commerce express parcels that avoid secondary packaging must reach 80%.
By 2023, a market-entity incentive and restraint mechanism for express packaging governance should be largely in place. Mandatory national standards for the harmlessness of express packaging materials will be implemented; the province will systematically build a unified, standardized, and binding local standard system for green express packaging; standardized management of e-commerce and express delivery will be broadly advanced; and more than 85% of e-commerce express parcels must no longer require secondary packaging.
By 2025, Heilongjiang aims to fully establish a legal, standards, and policy system suited to green principles in express packaging, supported by a long-term governance mechanism covering the entire chain—production, use, recycling, and disposal. E-commerce express parcels are to basically eliminate secondary packaging, recyclable express packaging is to be applied at scale, and non-degradable plastic packaging materials are to be completely banned.
