In Q1 2024, S.F. Express (Hong Kong) Limited (“SFHK”) gained the SGS green marks for its “SF Eco-friendly Shipping Bag”, following the completion of both Biodegradable & Industrial Compostable assessments, which are based on internationally recognized standards such as EN 13432 for Compostable & ISO 14855-1 for Biodegradable.
In recent years, the packaging industry has experienced a significant transformation as consumer demand for sustainability has grown stronger. The era of single-use plastics and excessive packaging waste is gradually giving way to a new paradigm: sustainable packaging.
As the world’s 4th largest logistics service provider, SF Express is increasingly seeking variances in its products that prioritize environmentally friendly practices to transform the industry into a more sustainable one.
“SFHK is honored to have gained the SGS green marks for our innovative “SF Eco-friendly Shipping Bag”. Starting from SF’s vision of “Zero Carbon Future”, this signifies another step towards green logistics and sustainable practices & innovation.”
Moreover, SFHK has launched their SF EcoSmart Shipping Bag Recycling Reward Programme where collection points are set up in different districts to collect used shipping bags for further sorting & recycling for re-purposing into future products with SFHK APP member points to encourage active participation by the public, further enhancing their emphasis on corporate social responsibility and sustainable development.
