During the two sessions this year, the recycling of plastic resources and strengthening the implementation of the plastic ban have become important issues of great concern, which reflects the deep concern of all sectors of society about the problem of plastic pollution. it also reflects the government's determination to promote green development and sustainable use of resources.

In response to this topic, a number of representatives put forward targeted suggestions and proposals. Among them, Dai Houliang and Yanqin, members of the CPPCC National Committee, jointly put forward policy suggestions on the recycling of recycled plastics for food contact at the same level, aimed at promoting the recycling of recycled plastics for food contact and reducing resource waste and environmental pollution. Zheng Yueming, a deputy to the National people's Congress, proposed to strengthen the enforcement and supervision of the plastic ban by compacting the responsibilities of local governments, improving the standard system of degradable products, and supporting the recovery and disposal of degradable products. To ensure that the ban is effectively enforced.

The proposal of these suggestions and proposals highlights the deputies' deep understanding and high concern about the problem of plastic pollution. As the world's largest producer and consumer of plastics, China's output of the five major general plastics alone reached 92.7195 million tons in 2023, superimposed by other general plastics and engineering plastics. A large amount of plastic waste is also produced every year, while the recycling rate of plastic recycling materials in China is only 25%, 30%, which is far lower than the level of overseas countries. Therefore, strengthening the recycling of plastic resources and promoting the implementation of the plastic ban are of great significance for reducing plastic pollution, promoting green development and building a beautiful China.

 

At present, there are a variety of recyclable plastic products on the market, including recyclable plastic products such as PET bottles, HDPE bottles, biodegradable plastic products such as starch-based biodegradable plastics, PLA biodegradable plastics, and recyclable plastic products such as PE mulch film, PE bottles and so on. The wide application of these products will help to promote the green transformation and sustainable development of the plastic industry.

However, in order to achieve the recycling of plastic resources and the effective implementation of the plastic ban, we also need the joint efforts of the government, enterprises and all sectors of society. The government should issue relevant policies and regulations to encourage and support enterprises to develop and produce environment-friendly plastic products, so as to promote the green transformation of the plastic industry. At the same time, strengthen supervision and law enforcement to ensure that the ban is effectively implemented. Enterprises should actively adopt advanced plastic recovery and recycling technology to improve the quality and performance of recycled plastics and expand their scope of application. In addition, strengthening public education and publicity and raising public awareness of plastic pollution and environmental protection are also important aspects of promoting the recycling of plastic resources and the implementation of the plastic ban.

To sum up, the discussions and suggestions on the recycling of plastic resources and strengthening the plastic ban during the two sessions provide important ideas and directions for promoting the green transformation and sustainable development of China's plastics industry. Through the joint efforts of the government, enterprises and all sectors of society, we are expected to achieve the goal of recycling plastic resources and reducing plastic pollution, and make positive contributions to building a beautiful China and promoting the cause of global environmental protection.
