    China News Service, Ningbo, April 10 (Reporter Fang Kun) Arctic plastic snow, plastic rain in the United States, the global per capita intake of about 2,000 plastic particles per week, a large amount of microplastics in infant feces, and plastics found in human placenta Microparticles.


    Plastic is one of the most common materials in human daily life.


    "More than 70 countries and regions around the world, including China, have promulgated and implemented the 'plastic ban'.


    Chen Peng introduced that bio-based degradable plastics are derived from renewable biological resources, and their carbon emissions are much lower than traditional petroleum-based plastics, and even zero and negative emissions; secondly, it returns to nature in a biodegradable way after being used, and does not form white Pollution, do not have to worry about turning into microplastic particles through the food chain to invade and harm the human body


    The reporter learned that Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province has a certain foundation for the development of bio-based degradable plastics and their derivatives


    However, the development of bio-based degradable plastics industry in Ningbo also faces several problems


    "There is a lack of key raw materials.


    "I hope Ningbo can further speed up the formulation of industrial development plans, and create a bio-based degradable plastic R&D innovation center, quality inspection center, and low-carbon consumption demonstration area from a high starting point


    On this basis, Chen Peng suggested that Ningbo actively cultivate and supplement the industrial chain


    Chen Peng suggested that Ningbo implement "dual-carbon" technological innovation and "replacing the leaderboard" to break through key core and common technologies; guide and support enterprises and institutions to preside over or participate in the formulation of industry standards; rely on the Zhejiang Regional Center of Ningbo National New Materials Testing and Evaluation Platform to strengthen cooperation with enterprises.
