Before the end of this year, all prefecture -level cities across the country will promote degradable plastic

In recent years, relevant laws and regulations of "prohibiting plastic" have been introduced across the country, and the "white pollution" and the urgency of protecting the environment. The degradable material industry has also entered the fast track of high -speed development.

According to the "Opinions on Further Strengthening Plastic Pollution Governance" issued by the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment in 2020, before the end of this year, non -degradable plastic products will prohibit the establishment of shops in the construction of cities at or above the prefecture -level cities and counties in coastal areas. Pharmacy, catering, courier and other places, that is, it can be promoted in all prefecture -level cities across the country by the end of this year.

On June 1st this year, the two recommended national standards, "Biodegradation Plastic and Product Degradation Performance and Logic Requirements and Labeling Requirements" and "Biodegradation Drinking Straw", means that the promotion and application of degradable materials products have been greatly accelerated.

Weng Yunxuan, Secretary -General of the Degraded Plastic Professional Committee of the China Plastic Industry Association: In the process of the development of biodegradable materials, standards are a very important means. There are now 35 international standards in international standards. In the process of drafting, like we develop biodegradable shopping bags and biodegradable straws (related standards). It should be said that we have the right to speak in the field of international and in the development of the biodegradation industry.

my country's coal resources are abundant, with an annual output of about 4 billion tons of coal. Currency production can not only lower the cost of degradable materials, but also reduce the cost of degradable materials. It is also conducive to the governance of "white pollution" such as traditional plastics and protecting the environment. At present, the global degradable material capacity is about 1.5 million tons, and my country's current capacity is about 800,000 tons, which has accounted for more than half. It is estimated that by 2025, the demand for degradable materials is expected to exceed 4 million tons, and the future space is very broad.

Liu Zhongmin, director of the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Engineering: This is an international trend with degradable plastic instead of non -degradable plastic. Judging from the recent documents, it is clear that the national actions are accelerating. Our country has made breakthroughs priority in coal chemical degradable plastic, so we are in a relatively leading position in the world from technology research and development to technology.
