With the rapid development in China’s express delivery business, express garbage recycling has become the fastest growing industry of renewable resources recycling. There are three main models of express garbage recycling, including recycling by professional express packaging garbage recycling company, reverse logistics mode and public recycling mode. Among all these models, the reverse logistics is the most potential and inevitable main channel based on the analysis from economic view. At present, the reverse logistics mode shows the low garbage recovery rate, leading to the difficulty in achieving positive yield. Therefore, the following proposal was put forward as the express packaging garbage recycling should mainly be based on reverse logistics, supplemented by the other two methods. The public recycling mode should be adopted in rural areas, while the professional express packaging garbage recycling company mode should be adopted in first-tier cities with advanced economy. Meantime, the government should promote the development of the garbage recycling business from the aspects of policy, funding and publicity.
