    What work has the Ministry of Ecology and Environment carried out in controlling plastic pollution? What results have been achieved? What's the next step?
     

    In this regard, Liu Youbin, spokesperson of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and director of the Department of Publicity and Education, said:
     

    The prevention and control of plastic pollution is an environmental challenge facing the current international community, and joint actions are urgently needed
    .
    The Chinese government has always attached great importance to plastic pollution control.
    As early as 2007, it introduced policies and measures to restrict the production and sale of plastic shopping bags.
    It is one of the earliest countries in the world to carry out plastic pollution control
    .

     

      The prevention and control of plastic pollution involves multiple links and multiple departments.
    The Ministry of Ecology and Environment, based on its own responsibilities, actively strengthens the control of plastic pollution
    .

     

      The first is to cooperate with the National People's Congress to complete the revision of the "Law on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Waste", make provisions on the pollution prevention and control of agricultural films, packaging, and disposable plastic products , clarify the legal responsibility for relevant illegal acts, and greatly enhance the legal binding and deterrence

      The second is to cooperate with relevant departments to issue the "Opinions on Further Strengthening the Control of Plastic Pollution" and the "14th Five-Year Plan for the Control of Plastic Pollution", make overall arrangements for strengthening the control of plastic pollution, and improve the entire chain of plastic pollution control system
    .
    For two consecutive years, it has organized a special campaign for plastic pollution control with relevant ministries and commissions to check the progress of work in various places, and effectively promote local completion of various tasks on schedule
    .

     

      The third is to vigorously promote the pilot project of "no waste city", using the proportion of express green packaging and the recycling rate of plastic film as pilot indicators to guide Chongqing, Shenzhen, Sanya, Shaoxing, etc.
    to explore replicable and popularized plastic pollution control models at the city level
    .

     

      "At the same time, we also actively participated in and contributed to strengthening the control of transboundary movements of plastic waste under the existing mechanism of the Basel Convention, and pushed the Conference of the Parties to pass the Basel Convention's plastic waste amendments to improve the level of environmentally sound management of plastic waste
    .
    " Liu Youbin said
    .

     

      Liu Youbin also said that the next step will be to implement the legal requirements for plastic pollution control, and promote the implementation of the "Opinions on Further Strengthening the Control of Plastic Pollution" and the "14th Five-Year Plan" Action Plan for the Control of Plastic Pollution.
