China News Service, September 15th. According to the website of the National Development and Reform Commission, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment recently issued the "14th Five-Year Plan of Action for Plastic Pollution Control" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan").

The "Plan" clarifies that by 2025, the plastic pollution control mechanism will operate more effectively, local, departmental and corporate responsibilities will be effectively implemented, plastic products production, circulation, consumption, recycling, and end disposal will be more effective in the whole chain of governance, and white pollution will be effective. contain.

  In terms of source reduction, the phenomenon of unreasonable use of disposable plastic products in key areas such as commodity retail, e-commerce, takeaway, express delivery, and accommodation has been greatly reduced. E-commerce express mail has basically achieved no secondary packaging, and the application scale of recyclable express packaging has reached 10 million.

In terms of recycling and disposal, cities at prefecture-level and above have basically established systems for the sorting, collection, transportation, and treatment of domestic waste according to local conditions. The efficiency of plastic waste collection and transfer has been greatly improved; the national urban domestic waste incineration capacity has reached about 800,000 tons per day. The amount of waste directly landfilled has been greatly reduced; the recovery rate of agricultural film has reached 85%, and the residual amount of film has achieved zero growth across the country.

In terms of garbage disposal, the open-air plastic garbage left over from history in key waters, key tourist attractions, and rural areas is basically cleared.

The leakage of plastic waste to the natural environment has been effectively controlled.
