While China's socialist market economy advocates mass production, mass market and mass consumption and establishes corresponding modern logistics, it is not only necessary but also urgent to create modern green logistics in China and advocate high efficiency, energy saving and green environmental protection. With the development of economic globalization, some traditional tariff and non-tariff barriers have gradually faded, and green barriers have gradually emerged. Especially after China's entry into WTO, after a reasonable transition period, China's logistics industry will cancel most restrictions on foreign equity, and foreign logistics enterprises will enter the China market, which is bound to bring great impact to domestic logistics enterprises. This means that there will be a fierce competition in the future logistics industry. Accelerating the development of green logistics is an important opportunity for China's logistics industry to meet future challenges and take the lead in the competition. The author introduces the development status of green logistics in developed countries and the domestic gap.
