循环模式助力消除垃圾：可循环的快递袋

VLOOP蔚路循环是一个发起于清华大学的创业项目。创立的初衷，是为了解决每年数百亿的一次性塑料垃圾问题。在实地调研中他们发现：仅2017年，中国快递共消耗近200亿个快递塑料袋，从总量上比美国、日本、欧盟加起来还多。全部排起来可以绕地球赤道225圈，过去三年里，中国一线城市居民生活垃圾增量的80% - 90%，来自快递包装和外卖餐盒。一次性快递塑料袋基本占据了电商包装的50 %。而它极低的生产成本和快速的消耗方式，对环境正在造成严重的破坏怎样从源头解决这个问题？

VLOOP starts from Tsinghua University. It aims to solvethe problem of billions of disposable plastic delivery bags per year. From thefield research, VLOOP found that in 2017 only, China has consumed 20 billionplastic delivery bags, which exceeds the total amount of USA, Japan and EU, andall the bags will cross around the earth equator by 225 circles. Disposableplastic delivery bags are cheap, but the cost of their environmental damage isimmeasurable. How to solve the problem?

蔚路循环调研良久，总结出最好的方法是：开发用于替换一次性塑料产品的环保产品，并为之建立一套完整的循环体系，从源头上解决垃圾问题。所以他们研发了一款快递循环袋和专门用于回收袋子的循环桶。具体的循环模式也很简单：下单时商家使用循环袋打包——用户收到包裹后及时归还到附近的循环桶——蔚路安排专人回收重新派发给卖家使用。

VLOOP redesign a reusable delivery bag and anintelligent returning box, and build an IT system to support the circulation ofthe bags. E-sellers use VLOOP bags to package, consumers return VLOOP bags tothe nearest VLOOP returning box, and VLOOP allocates the collection andredistribution.

因为循环袋的成本昂贵，为了保证循环模式的可持续性，用户每次归还袋子的时候需要注册缴纳9. 9元的押金（为确保归还率）并支付0.5元每次的环保成本（用于维持循环过程中产生的回收处理成本以及团队的日常运营）

In order to be sustainable, consumers need to pay ¥9.99deposit and ¥0.5 environmental cost per usage.

循环袋袋体材质是达到瑞士蓝标认证的，生产无三废（废气废水废渣）产生。并且它的耐磨性、穿刺程度都经过实际路测验证，目前路测结果显示可循环使用50——100次，但这也并不是最终结果，路测实验仍在继续进行中，循环次数仍在不断累计。

The material of VLOOP bag can reach the standard ofBlueSign and its production process has no three waste (wasted gas, wastedwater, and wasted residue). And its wear resistance, water resistance andcrease resistance passes the road test. VLOOP road test shows that VLOOP bagscan be reused by 50-100 times, and it can be even higher.

2018年5月，第一个真正意义上使用蓝色循环袋的包裹，胜利抵达首个试点学校，已经有多位收到蓝色循环袋的同学在驿站体验了归还。在没有任何宣传的推动下，仍有30 % -40 %的用户选择了付费归还，事实证明，越来越多人已经开始担心随着网购给环境带来的负面影响，而这样的循环模式正是为他们提供了一种低负担的购物方式。

In May 2018, the very first package which used a VLOOPbag arrived at the first University. A number of students who received VLOOPbags have experienced the returning process. Without any propaganda, 30-40% ofthe students accept VLOOP model - consumers pay for the environmental costdirectly.

2018年10月，蔚路循环又对十多所高校做了全方位的调研，学生反馈的支持力度高达85 %以上。环保的购物方式已经是众望所归，心之所向。

In October 2018, VLOOP did a comprehensive survey onten Universities in Hangzhou, and the portion of the students who support VLOOPmodel is more than 85%.

环保是有成本的。到底应该由谁来为环保买单？我想作为地球上的每一位公民，都有责任为自己的保卫和守护我们自己的生存家园。Be the change that youwant to see in the world ( 若要看到世界的改变，请先让自己成为那个改变)消费者的立场和选择就是「改变」真正发生的源动力。

Environmental-friendly option has a higher cost and whoshould pay for it? VLOOP believes that as a planet citizen, every one should beresponsible and act to protect the Earth.“Be the change that you want to seein the world.”Consumers’choice is the fundamental changing power.

中国一年200亿个快递塑料袋，6亿网购消费者，人均一年消耗约30个快递袋。30次×0.5元／次＝15元。1年1杯奶茶的价格就可以消除200亿个塑料袋。其实每个人一点小小的改变，就会促使改变发生。
