Accelerating Green Logistics Development from Six Aspects

The essence of green logistics is to pursue economic benefits without damaging the ecological environment and achieve the "two-wheel drive" of economic and social development and ecological environmental protection. Its ultimate goal is to achieve coordinated and sustainable economic, social and environmental development, and to build a beautiful China. Realizing the "Chinese Dream" is of great practical significance
The green economy system is mainly composed of green production, green circulation and green consumption. Green logistics can effectively guide green production, improve circulation efficiency and promote green consumption. It is a new engine that promotes green economic development.
The rapid growth of the national economy has led to the rapid expansion of China's logistics industry. Modern logistics has become a strategic and basic industry that supports China's national economic development. Green logistics is the inevitable trend of the future development of modern logistics, and it is the foundation and internal requirement of promoting green economic development. At present, China's green logistics has not really formed the scale, the main reason: First, the lack of green logistics awareness; Second, green logistics policies and regulations are not sound; The third is the lack of power of high and new technology to support the development of green logistics; Fourth, the green logistics infrastructure is not perfect; Fifth, the traditional logistics operation mode restricts the development of green logistics; Sixth, there is a shortage of green logistics professionals.

To better promote green logistics to achieve high-quality development, we should start from the following six aspects:
First, we should establish the concept of green logistics development. The development of green logistics needs the joint participation and efforts of the government, industry associations, enterprises and consumers. First, the government and industry associations should actively promote and guide consumers and enterprises to create a good social atmosphere; Second, enterprises should change the inherent concept that "environmental protection is not economical and green costs". In the long run, environmental protection and corporate benefits can achieve mutual promotion; Thirdly, consumers should establish the concept of green consumption and force enterprises to transform into green management.
Second, policy guidance and regulations should force "two-legged" walking. On the one hand, the government should introduce a series of industrial, fiscal, financial, land and other related policies that are closely related to green logistics, and encourage and guide the behavior of logistics subjects through specific ways such as government green procurement, financial subsidies, and tax support. We will guide the steady and healthy development of green logistics. On the other hand, it is necessary to formulate clear and strong implementing laws and regulations for the development of green logistics in China to achieve unified supervision and control over the greening of logistics activities. At the same time, local governments at all levels can develop according to the degree of green logistics in regional logistics. We will promulgate corresponding local laws and regulations to ensure the development of green logistics, especially the greening of logistics and distribution vehicles in large and medium-sized cities.

Third, we should use scientific and technological innovation to support the green transformation of the logistics industry. We will accelerate the application of green technology in major logistics areas such as transportation, storage, distribution, processing and packaging. First, we need to gradually optimize the energy structure through green energy technologies to lay a solid foundation for the low-carbon and green development of the logistics industry. In particular, improved technologies can be used to increase energy efficiency to increase energy efficiency, or to increase the proportion of new clean energy sources in energy consumption, such as the increase in new energy vehicles in transport. Second, we need to accelerate the integration of technology and logistics, such as the Internet +, Internet of Things technology, big data, cloud computing and unmanned distribution services, to effectively reduce redundant logistics activities and improve green logistics efficiency. Third, we will further encourage the application of new materials, biotechnology, waste disposal and waste utilization technologies in the logistics field to better promote the recycling economy and sustainable development.
Fourth, we need to improve the development of green logistics infrastructure. The development of green logistics can not be separated from the support of hardware infrastructure. We need to scientifically integrate the scale, layout and functions of logistics infrastructure, and make it effective through updating and transformation. In addition, the government should continue to expand the scale of investment in logistics infrastructure and accelerate the networking and systematization of modern logistics infrastructure. Building new infrastructure must be scientifically planned on the basis of the existing infrastructure layout to prevent blind duplication of construction and waste of land resources.

Fifth, we need to innovate the operating model of green logistics. The innovation of logistics operation mode can be realized through the three modes of reduction, recycling and greening of logistics activities. The logistics activities subtraction mode can reduce the logistics waste and pollution by reducing the logistics activities, which can be achieved through industrial clusters, business alliance operation modes, joint distribution, multimodal transport, and throwing transportation. The recycling mode of logistics activities is based on the reuse of recyclable resources, improving the efficiency of the use of green logistics resources, reducing costs, and saving energy and reducing emissions. It can mainly be achieved through reverse logistics and ecological parks. The green model is to establish green indicators and green standards in the entire logistics activities, and to achieve the greening of all logistics links from the overall supply chain. The government is responsible for formulating and unifying green standards as an overseer, and enterprises comply with green standards and establish a green evaluation index system. Consumers advocate green consumption.
Sixth, strengthen the introduction and training of green logistics professionals. On the one hand, we can introduce a group of senior research talents, managerial talents and technical talents who are engaged in green logistics research from abroad, and improve and optimize the hierarchy of green logistics talents in China; On the other hand, we must focus on the implementation of the green logistics personnel training project, and pay attention to the combination of production, education and research to cultivate different types of green logistics professionals, including theoretical research, technology development, and skills operation.
