It has played an important role in increasing crop output, improving quality, and enriching the supply of agricultural products. However, the residual pollution of agricultural film in some areas is serious, which has become a prominent environmental problem restricting the green development of agriculture.

  The Party Central Committee and the State Council attach great importance to the pollution control of agricultural film, and set clear requirements for the establishment and improvement of the management system of agricultural film.

Answer: In order to facilitate the traceability of agricultural film products and market supervision, the "Measures" clearly stipulate the actions of producers, sellers, and users in relevant links.

In the next step, on the basis of fully summarizing the experience of the pilot work, we will increase demonstration and promotion efforts and promote the establishment of a long-term mechanism for agricultural film recycling. The third is to implement good agricultural film recycling actions. Further deepen the construction of key counties for agricultural film recycling, vigorously promote the use of standard mulch film, and promote relevant parties to implement agricultural film recycling responsibilities, participate in the construction of recycling systems, and continuously improve the level of recycling.
