Abstract

In recent years, with the vigorous development of e-commerce, China's express delivery industry has experienced a peak of development. However, the production of express garbage during this process has led to serious environmental pollution problems. The relevant national policies have also set higher requirements for the reduction, standardization, and recycling of express boxes. Therefore, it is urgent to reduce the size of the express box. It has been observed that many express delivery companies have joined the "green revolution" of promoting express delivery boxes. However, due to factors such as cost and safety, the utilization rate of circular express delivery boxes has not improved. Based on the current situation analysis, this study will address the existing problems and challenges of the current circulating box in practical applications. It will consider designing a green, shared, and circulating express box that can be implemented with existing technology. Therefore, this study is based on RFID technology to conduct innovative research and development, design a circular shared express box named Re-gas, and establish a closed-loop system for the supply chain of express boxes. This will promote the green and efficient transformation of the express industry. However, because the designed and manufactured express box samples have not been tested, and due to limitations imposed by application scenarios, cost control, and industry barriers, the project may have some defects and challenges.
