Policy support: The National 14th Five-Year Plan explicitly proposes to "promote the reduction, standardization, and circularization of express packaging". Against the backdrop of the "dual carbon" goals, EPP materials, as 100% recyclable environmentally friendly materials, fully conform to the concept of modern green logistics. Policy support will drive the continuous expansion of their application in the logistics industry.  

Growing market demand: With the rapid development of the fresh food e-commerce market and the increasing consumer requirements for food health, safety, and freshness, EPP materials have been widely used in cold chain logistics due to their advantages such as thermal insulation, low-temperature resistance, shock and pressure resistance, and environmental friendliness. They can effectively reduce cargo loss rates. Meanwhile, for precision instruments, electronic products, and other items with high packaging requirements, the excellent cushioning performance of EPP materials can well meet protection needs.  

Performance advantages: EPP materials are lightweight, which can effectively reduce packaging weight and transportation costs. Their good water resistance and chemical resistance enable them to maintain stable performance in various harsh environments, adapting to the transportation needs of different goods. Moreover, EPP materials have strong customizability, allowing customized production according to the shape and size of different products, thus improving packaging quality and market competitiveness.  

Technological development promotion: With the continuous research and development of new materials and technologies, the performance of EPP materials will be further enhanced, and their application scope will expand. Meanwhile, technological progress has gradually reduced the production cost of EPP materials, further improving their market competitiveness and prompting logistics enterprises to prefer EPP materials for packaging and transportation.  

Conclusion: The application of EPP materials in the logistics industry is transitioning from single cushioning packaging to full-chain penetration. Driven by policy support, technological innovation, and cost optimization, they are expected to become core materials for green logistics. It is predicted that by 2030, the market scale of EPP in the logistics sector will exceed 10 billion yuan, with the three major scenarios of cold chain, e-commerce, and automotive logistics contributing to the primary growth. Intelligence, high performance, and degradability will become the main themes of technological upgrading.
