Supplier Collaboration on Recycling Packaging Materials
To reduce waste, minimize deforestation and protect the natural habitat, FEIS provided audit and coaching for suppliers in 2020 to improve the quality of packaging materials. FEIS encourages suppliers to minimize the use of packaging materials, switch from small to large packages, and target the recycling and reuse of wooden pallets and PP bags. FEIS gives priority consideration to environmentally friendly materials, focusing on recycling and reuse, and avoiding over packaging. Each month, the plant quantifies the recycled materials, recycling rate and completion rate, and reviews unmet goals. The recycling mechanism has prolonged the life cycle of packaging materials, and in turn reduced waste as well as costs. We commission licensed recycling companies to recycle packaging materials from the domestic market. Without compromising quality and customer satisfaction, we convinced customers to accept shipment in recycled bags that are in reusable condition. In terms of effectiveness, Staple Fiber Unit improved the recycling rate of wooden pallets from 60% to 70%. The unit also repairs damaged PP bags for reuse, increasing the recycling rate of from 98% to 100%. Staple Fiber Unit recycles carton boxes and wooden pallets from customers. Through production-marketing coordination, the unit reduces the use of wooden pallets during product delivery.
