Research on the Pollution of Express Plastic Packaging Based on System Dynamics
AI summary Read the abstract
This Chinese systems dynamics study modeled the environmental pollution caused by plastic packaging from e-commerce deliveries. Researchers built causal loop diagrams to analyze feedback mechanisms driving plastic packaging waste and identified policy interventions including extended producer responsibility and green logistics standards as effective levers. The study provides a quantitative framework for managing the rapidly growing e-commerce packaging waste problem.
With the rapid development of e-commerce, the environmental pollution caused by express plastic packaging is increasingly prominent. This paper takes express plastic packaging as the research object and analyzes its harm to the environment. Under the guidance of green logistics, using the research method of system dynamics, the causal loop diagram of express plastic packaging system is drawn and analyzed. Finally, based on the circuit diagram, the paper puts forward some measures, such as strengthening the construction of laws and regulations, improving the recycling system, strengthening research and development, industry standardization and focusing on publicity, to reduce the environmental pollution caused by express packaging.

The Legal dilemmas and pathways for managing plastic waste pollution in China: An assessment of current regulations and a vision for future governance frameworks
AI summary Read the abstract
This paper systematically analyses the current state of plastic waste legal regulation in China and proposes a framework for future governance, examining how the rapid growth of the e-commerce, express delivery, and food delivery industries has sharply increased plastic product consumption. The authors assess existing regulatory gaps and outline pathways toward more effective and comprehensive plastic waste management law.
Study on the Spatial Pattern of the Carbon Footprint of China’s E-Commerce Express Packaging Considering Embodied Carbon Transfer
AI summary Read the abstract
Despite its title referencing e-commerce packaging, this paper studies the carbon footprint of China's express delivery packaging industry — not microplastic pollution. It quantifies CO2 emissions across the packaging lifecycle and traces carbon transfers between provinces, finding that plastic packaging generates roughly twice the upstream emissions of paper packaging. This paper is not relevant to microplastics or human health.
