Rookie promotes carbon reduction and plastic reduction in express logistics industry.

According to reports, the rookie has formed two modules: consumer green recycling and business green supply chain. Nearly 65438+ million rookie stations and rookie green homes covering 3 15 cities across the country have become the main positions for consumers to participate in offline green logistics respectively. The proportion of standard packaging materials and standardized packaging operations reached 90%.

Innovating and promoting packaging reduction

Express logistics industry is an important field in the construction of ecological civilization and the implementation of the goal of "double carbon" and "limited plastic". The whole industry is taking plastic pollution control as an opportunity to accelerate the green transformation of the industry and make green development become industry knowledge. Promoting the "slimming" of packaging is an important direction for rookie environmental protection and emission reduction. According to the calculation, the unit carbon reduction can reach 358 grams, 62 grams and 22 grams by using the original box delivery, packaging algorithm and environmental protection packaging materials respectively.

-scientific and technological innovation promotes reduction.

Put more effort into the delivery of the original packaging box. Through the design and optimization of operation links, big data algorithm and intelligent warehousing are adopted to guide the design of distribution and packaging processes. The rookie has completed about 80% parcel distribution in the warehousing and distribution links of Tmall Supermarket and Retail Link. Among them, the Tmall supermarket warehouse operated by the rookie has fully realized the delivery of the original box and the secondary use of the carton, and the parcel no longer uses the new carton. Shanghai Jiading Tmall Supermarket Warehouse operated by rookie only saved 300,000 copies of plastic and carton packaging materials during the "double 1 1" period last year. Hangzhou Xiaoshan Tmall Supermarket Warehouse can deliver 5,000 packages by using cartons twice a day.

Work hard on the packaging. The rookie intelligent packing algorithm can effectively reduce over-packaging and realize the "slimming" of packages, which can not only promote the merchants and express delivery companies of e-commerce platforms to save the use of packaging materials, but also help the trunk transportation business to reduce carbon emissions through the slimming of packages. In 20 18 years, the rookie reduced the amount of packaging by developing intelligent box cutting and packaging algorithm, and reduced the use of packaging materials by 15% on average. By 2020, he has "slimmed down" more than 530 million packages. As long as the seller inputs the length, width, height and historical order quantity of the goods, the system can measure the volume of the goods through the automatic camera, and combine the big data algorithm model to optimize the design of the carton model, and recommend the best size box type, packing order and placement method, so as to achieve better matching of boxes, more compact packing and higher efficiency of resource allocation. It is the most mature packaging lightweight solution in the industry. At present, the packaging algorithm has been opened to the whole industry, helping at least 300 million express parcels in the whole industry to achieve "slimming" every year, which is equivalent to reducing 80 million cartons. During the "Double 1 1" period last year, the rookie warehouse "slimmed down" 250 million packages.

Work hard at the parcel exit. In the cross-border logistics scenario, the rookie applies the intelligent LCL engine to deliver multiple packages in a single order, realizing pre-sorting and container transportation, effectively reducing the carbon emissions of international air logistics routes, increasing the layout of overseas warehouses, reducing the dependence on air transportation modes, and reducing the carbon emissions of a single package. The rookie "order engine" accurately identifies overseas consumers who use the same overseas delivery address to shop in different stores on AliExpress through big data algorithm, and packages multiple orders purchased by customers in different domestic platform stores into one package through intelligent order placing, and completes subsequent trunk and terminal delivery in the container warehouse; And upgrade from the previous surface mail route of 30-50 days to the direct air route delivered within 20 days, and some areas can upgrade to 10 days. It is estimated that 50 countries will reduce nearly 20 million terminal deliveries. The rookie East China container warehouse located in the new area of Hangzhou Airport, after using the intelligent single-combination technology, the carbon emission of the terminal distribution link sent to German consumers is reduced by about 80%.

-mode innovation to achieve cycle

Use recyclable courier boxes to reduce packaging materials. Based on the commodity inventory data and intelligent algorithm, the business customers of the rookie network joint platform have established a B2B recycling box system, which provides businesses with a series of plastic and carbon-reducing packaging solutions, such as carbon-reducing packaging, environmentally-friendly packaging materials, recycling boxes and original box distribution. At the same time, the rookie encourages more businesses to adopt green packages such as environmentally-friendly mailing bags and non-adhesive zipper boxes by marking green packages in the "logistics details". At present, we have cooperated with many brands such as Nestle, Unilever and Philips, and the progress and effect are good. During the period of "double 1 1", more than 165438+ ten thousand recyclable zipper boxes were used; The daily usage of single bin recycling bins exceeds 50,000, replacing more than 200,000 cartons and plastic packaging materials in the past.

Relying on the post station to build a closed loop of packaging and recycling. At present, more than 65,438+10,000 rookie stations across the country have set up green packaging recycling bins to encourage consumers to recycle express secondary packaging. By the end of 20021and 10, green recycling bins for rookie have covered 3 1 5 cities in 3 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities nationwide, and hundreds of millions of express cartons can be recycled every year. According to the research institute's calculation, completing 1 recycling can reduce carbon emissions by 37 grams on average.

Wisdom drives the whole process of emission reduction

-Path optimization

Novice path planning algorithm based on large-scale neighborhood search and deep reinforcement learning can improve the rationality of decision-making, reduce online time, get 98%~99% optimal solution in less than 0.0 1 second, leave more offline operation time, improve the timeliness of performance, optimize the experience of front-line personnel and save huge costs. For example, through the intelligent path planning algorithm, a new business format that can be delivered within 30 minutes to 2 hours has been created. The algorithm comprehensively calculates complex uncertain factors such as customer order dynamics, random demand, narrow warehouse workspace, combined order picking, urban traffic congestion, terminal community registration process, elevator waiting and so on. And give decision-making suggestions in a very short time, so as to win enough time for the staff to operate offline.

The logistics path planning algorithm developed by the rookie was shortlisted for the Franz Odeman Outstanding Achievement Award in 20021year. This is the highest industrial application award in the field of global logistics and management science, and it is called the "Oscar" of operational research. Since the award was established 50 years ago, Cainiao is the first logistics supply chain enterprise in China. This technology is widely used, which can effectively reduce the number of vehicles and driving distance in vehicle distribution, and reduce the walking distance of pickers in warehouse picking operations.

-Low-carbon transportation

Green transportation. Rookie implements clean energy substitution in the field of logistics and transportation in the same city, mainly through intelligent research and development of logistics vehicles to distribute self-driving vehicles at the end, promoting the combination of intelligent vehicles and electrification, improving transportation efficiency and promoting energy conservation and carbon reduction. The Autopilot Laboratory of Alibaba Dharma Institute has developed the electric unmanned logistics vehicle "Little Man Donkey" with a cruising range of over 100 km. It has put 350 sets in some universities and community rookie stations to provide terminal delivery services.

Green electricity. Six rookie logistics parks located in Jiading, Jiangxia, Huangpi, Qingxi, Dongguan and Xiasha, Hangzhou use clean energy to generate electricity, and the total power generation during the "double 1 1" period reaches 87,000 kWh. The "green roof" of Shanghai Jiading Cainiao Logistics Park-the solar photovoltaic power generation system, has a total power generation of 3.3 million kWh in the past year, and can also transmit 6.5438+0 million kWh of green power to Shanghai power grid every year.

Green distribution. This is the key link of green logistics for rookie. During the "Double 1 1" period of 202 1 Tmall, more than 200 colleges and universities in 70 cities across the country will deliver 350 rookie unmanned vehicles. Compared with the traditional fuel vehicle, the rookie unmanned vehicle Little Man Donkey uses electric energy and can run 100 km with 4 kWh of electricity. The rookie logistics path planning algorithm can also choose the optimal distribution route in distribution, effectively reducing carbon emissions. A driverless car works an average of 8 hours a day and can transport up to 400 couriers.

-Promote upstream and downstream to raise environmental awareness.

Introduce carbon asset management system. In order to help enterprises better manage carbon assets, Cainiao explored and developed a carbon asset management system, which covers carbon emission statistics and prediction, carbon grade industry report, carbon inventory statistics, carbon emission third-party certification and other corporate carbon asset services. Rookie Green Home will also access Zhejiang Carbon Pratt & Whitney, becoming the first logistics enterprise to access carbon Pratt & Whitney.

Launch the first green interactive community in the logistics industry. In March this year, Cainiao further upgraded the green product scheme on the basis of the "Return to Box Plan" and launched the first green interactive community in China logistics industry-"Cainiao Green Home". Consumers can participate in and experience green logistics behavior and accumulate personal carbon reduction bills when they enter the "rookie green home".

Green and low-carbon "6. 18" started. During this year's "18" period, Cainiao will launch four green carbon reduction strategies, including upgrading the first online green logistics interactive community green home in the express delivery industry, accessing the first batch of carbon account merchants, and becoming the first logistics enterprise to access carbon inclusiveness to distribute green energy to consumers. Rookie will use online and offline green logistics positions to create a green "6. 18" with consumers and businesses.

Promoting the green development of the whole industrial chain with logistics links

202 1, the whole link of rookie green logistics has produced1944.7 billion times of green logistics behavior, and * * * has reduced carbon by over 250,000 tons. Every link involved in the package can produce carbon reduction effect: from packaging delivery, transit sorting to transportation and distribution, a green logistics chain has been formed.

According to the rookie carbon measurement information system, during the period of 202 1,1,1 ~ 14, based on the whole link of rookie green logistics, rookie, merchants and consumers produced 18.

Focus on key measures-motivating consumers. The rookie is the first to promote the "Personal Carbon Emission Reduction Act" and generate a "personal green logistics footprint" for every consumer. Consumers can search for "express packaging recycling" in Tao Tao and Cainiao App and enter the green interactive page, so that they can inquire about their personal carbon reduction since June 2020 1 1, expose their "green logistics footprint" and become "green partners". This activity effectively promoted consumers to actively participate in packaging recycling, realized the green self-circulation at the end of express delivery, and led the new trend of green consumption.

In the next step, the rookie will continue to actively promote technological innovation and model innovation in accordance with the deployment requirements of the National Development and Reform Commission for energy conservation and carbon reduction in the industry, and further promote carbon reduction and plastic limitation; Strengthen publicity and guidance, drive the supply chain, upstream and downstream and consumers, and promote the green, low-carbon and high-quality development of express delivery.
