ABSTRACT

The research of circulation chain of take-out packaging box from online ordering platform at Guangzhou Higher Education Mega Center can enable us to understand the flow of packaging box and the eventual disposal with it. There are 10 universities in Guangzhou Higher Education Mega Center and 3 of them are selected as the study object, which can represent the 10 universities. Then, by means of online questionnaire, online consultation and offline interview, all nodes of the circulation chain and the flow between them are found. And some problems can be learned, especially a few number of recyclable boxes are recycled, and a large number of remain recyclable and unrecyclable boxes are directly incinerated or landfilled. According to the main problems existing in box circulation chain, the paper proposes several suggestions, aiming at increasing recycling rate of packaging box.
