Among the 15-45-year-old citizens interviewed by the reporter, 100% of them ordered online delivery. When recalling take-away packaging, most people said that the hardness of take-out packaging is increasing and the number of packaging layers is increasing. Ms. Chen, a white-collar worker, said: “Our company does not have a canteen. Lunch is basically a take-out solution to the problem. The packing box of a shop that we regularly order in our office is particularly beautiful, but we’ve just thrown away at noon.

Mr. Ma suggested, "After the courier goes to take delivery, If the bag is not dirty or broken, it can be immediately recycled to customers. Stores can also consider buying these bags at a low price."
