As the global demand for new energy vehicles continues to rise, China, as the world’s largest producer of new energy vehicles, is facing unprecedented export opportunities. However, behind this craze, there are many invisible costs and challenges. The rising logistics costs, especially the packaging costs, have become a problem that companies need to solve urgently. The rise of the circular packaging leasing model is providing a new solution to this dilemma.
The hidden concerns of packaging costs: from compliance to environmental protection
According to the latest data, logistics costs account for 30% of the cost of new energy vehicles, and packaging accounts for 15%-30% of it. This means that with the surge in export volume, companies’ spending on packaging is also increasing. Especially under the impetus of the EU’s “New Battery Law”, the carbon footprint of packaging must be traceable, and companies are facing the dual pressure of compliance and environmental protection.
Traditional packaging consumes up to 9 million tons of paper each year, which is equivalent to the felling of 20 million trees, and the damage rate is as high as 3%-7%, causing annual losses of more than 10 billion. This is not only an economic loss, but also a huge burden on the environment. Many companies need to check the packaging repeatedly before shipping to ensure the safety of the goods, which invisibly increases the manpower and time costs.
Circular packaging leasing: the dual benefits of reducing costs and carbon footprint
In this context, the recycling packaging leasing model came into being. Through a standardized and traceable packaging system, companies can reduce logistics costs by 30% and increase turnover efficiency by more than 40%. The pay-per-use model allows companies to be more flexible in terms of funds, and usually the investment can be recovered within 8-14 months.
This model works similarly to renting tools. Companies only need to rent boxes when needed and return them after use, eliminating the hassle of traditional one-time purchases. Take ULP Ruichi as an example. They have more than 8 million turnovers per year, reducing carbon emissions by 70% and replacing more than 22 million cartons. Every time a turnover box is used, 20 trees can be protected, which is not only an improvement in economic benefits, but also a positive contribution to the environment.
With the combination of material revolution, digital tracking and recycling efficiency, packaging is no longer a “silent cost” but a “carbon data portal”. The impact resistance of honeycomb PP material has been improved by 300%, and the folding design has reduced the empty volume by 80%. The technical department focuses on compatibility, durability and data traceability, while the procurement department is more concerned about cost structure and operational guarantee. Only by combining the two can we achieve real cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
Leading enterprises such as China Merchants Loscam, CHEP, and ULP Ruichi have been deeply engaged in different fields and formed a complete ecological system to help customers reduce carbon emissions by 50%-70%. Every circulation of recyclable boxes reduces logistics costs and reduces carbon footprint. In the next ten years, the supply chain will shift from linear consumption to a circular economy. Whoever masters the green transformation of packaging will have the initiative in the future.
In this context, recycling packaging leasing is not only a choice for enterprises, but also an inevitable trend of the industry. As the concept of sustainable development becomes more popular, the green transformation of packaging will become an important part of the competitiveness of the new energy vehicle industry. Are you willing to pay for environmental protection and efficiency? The future supply chain competition will not only be a competition of speed and price, but also a competition of sustainability.
In this silent revolution, recycling packaging leasing is reshaping the global competitiveness of China’s automotive industry. Are you ready for this change?
