In 1902, Austrian scientist Max Schuschny invented plastic bags in the laboratory, and a hundred years later, in 2002, the British "Guardian" rated plastic bags as "the worst invention in human history". Today, countries around the world have successively adopted restrictive policies on plastic products. Plastic products not only exist in all aspects of our lives, but the leakage of plastic particles in the production process also exists in the entire supply chain, and has an impact on the earth's oceans, soil and other environments.

Plastic pollution control is actually a systemic issue that needs to cover the entire life cycle, from oil extraction to plastic production, recycling, and end-of-life disposal. In this life cycle, there are not only policies for systematic planning, but also enterprises for reduction actions, investors for more responsible investment, and public actions.

Based on this, the Green Stone Environmental Protection Center has launched a special topic on plastic reduction science #plastic face view#, which elaborates from various aspects such as our country's policy, environment, and governance. The following is the first "A Brief History of Plastic Reduction Policy":

my country's road to plastic reduction is speeding up.

In March 2022, the resumed fifth session of the United Nations Environment Assembly passed the Resolution on Ending Plastic Pollution (Draft) (hereinafter referred to as the “Resolution”), a legally binding resolution aimed at promoting the global fight against plastic pollution.

It is reported that the United Nations General Assembly is the highest decision-making mechanism for global environmental issues. Inger Arnold, Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme, said that this resolution is the most important international multilateral environmental resolution since the Paris Agreement.

The "Resolution" states that an intergovernmental negotiating committee will be established to reach an internationally legally binding agreement by 2024, covering the entire life cycle of plastic products, including their production, design, recycling and disposal.

According to information provided to the media by the United Nations Environment Program after the meeting, heads of state, environment ministers and other representatives from 175 countries approved and signed the resolution. This means that no country can stand alone in the face of the common environmental challenges faced by mankind.

my country has always attached great importance to plastic pollution control, especially since 2008, with the introduction of a series of strong plastic restriction policies, my country is gradually exploring a Chinese solution to the problem of plastic pollution, making positive contributions to global plastic pollution control.
