During the epidemic prevention and control period, South Korea's online retail industry has grown rapidly, but it has also brought about a large amount of express packaging plastic waste
.

According to data from the Ministry of Environment of South Korea, in 2020, the total volume of food delivery in South Korea will increase by 76.

In order to reduce the plastic waste generated by express packaging, some Korean logistics companies have begun to implement plastic-free packaging, using grid shock-proof paper instead of bubble plastic film, filling the voids of the box with expanded materials made of recycled paper, and replacing plastic tape with paper tape
.

Some e-commerce companies have also introduced reusable environmentally friendly packaging boxes.

Buying fresh products online requires a lot of ice packs to cool down
.

Last year, South Korea used more than 300 million ice packs, a year-on-year increase of about 50%

Many places in South Korea have tried to carry out ice bag recycling activities, such as setting up ice bag recycling facilities in residential areas, office buildings and other places to facilitate citizens' participation
.

In some places, incentives have been introduced.
