    【Chemical Machinery Equipment Network Policies and Regulations ] A few days ago, * released a reply to the proposal No.
    1896 of the third meeting of the thirteenth *.
    The content of the proposal is a proposal on the standardization of biodegradable plastics.
    The reply is clear and agrees with the relevant suggestions.
    At the same time, a brief description of the work that has been carried out and the plan for the next step are given.

     
    Chemical machinery equipment network policies and regulationsChemical machinery and equipment
    In January 2020, the "Opinions on Strengthening the Treatment of Plastic Pollution" was released, restricting the use of plastic in four key areas (non-degradable plastic bags, disposable plastic tableware, disposable products in hotels, and rapid plastic packaging).
    At the same time, degradable plastics ushered in the development trend.

     

    It is understood that biodegradable plastics are mainly used in agricultural film, packaging, fiber, medical and other fields.
    At present, relying on policy dividends, my country's degradable plastics production capacity layout is continuously expanding, but at the same time, biodegradable materials still have problems such as imperfect standard system, uneven product performance and degradability.
    Degradable plastics may not be able to "fully" degrade.

      * Attach great importance to the development of the degradable material industry.
    In terms of industrial policies, polylactic acid fibers and biodegradable materials are listed as encouraged products in the "Industrial Structure Adjustment Guidance Catalog", and biodegradable materials such as polylactic acid and nylon 56 are listed as Technical transformation support direction; in terms of promoting application, bio-based plasticizers and other degradable materials are included in the "Key New Material First Batch Application Demonstration Directory" to encourage demonstration applications; the industry standard for "degradable thermal insulation boxes" is being formulated.

     

      The General Administration of Market Supervision continued to promote the formulation and revision of national standards in the field of biodegradable plastics, and established the National Standardization Technical Committee for Bio-based Materials and Degradable Products to be responsible for standardization in the fields of degradable products and bio-based materials.
    At present, the "Definition, Classification, Labeling and Degradability Requirements of Degradable Plastics" (GB/T 20197), "Packaging Plastic Films and Bags for Express Transportation and Delivery of Fully Biodegradable Logistics" (GB/T 38727) and "Degradable Plastics" (GB/T 20197) have been formulated and released.
    The final anaerobic biodegradability of plastics in aqueous culture fluids is determined by more than 20 national standards such as "Methods for Measuring Biogas Products" (GB/T 32106), which defines the classification, identification, performance requirements, and performance requirements of degradable plastic materials and products.
    The testing methods were standardized.

     

      In July 2020, the National Development and Reform Commission and other 9 departments issued the "Notice on Solidly Promoting Plastic Pollution Control", which made arrangements for the promotion of plastic pollution control, especially the completion of the phased goal at the end of 2020, with standardization of biodegradable plastic standards as the focus One of the tasks.

     

      The National Development and Reform Commission coordinated with the State Administration of Market Supervision to establish and improve green management and evaluation standards for enterprises in emerging fields such as e-commerce, express delivery, and food delivery.

     

      * Actively promote the application of degradable plastics.
    First, the newly revised "Solid Waste Pollution Prevention and Control Law" further clarifies the relevant policies that encourage the use of degradable plastics, such as "The state encourages research and development, production, sales, and use in the environment.
    "Degradable and harmless agricultural film" "The state encourages and guides the reduction of use and the active recycling of plastic bags, etc.
    Plastic products , promote the application of recyclable, easy-to-recycle, and degradable alternative products", etc.
    ; the second is to promote the application of degradable plastics as an important measure for plastic pollution control.

     
    plastic products
      In July 2020, *, *, *, and the General Administration of Market Supervision jointly issued the "Agricultural Film Management Measures", proposing to prohibit the production, sale, and use of agricultural films that are explicitly prohibited by the state or that do not meet compulsory national standards.
    Encourage and support the production and use of fully biodegradable agricultural films.

     

      Next work plan
     
    Next work plan
      * Will further promote the industrialization and application of biodegradable materials, use existing policy channels to support the development of new products and technologies of biodegradable materials; explore the evaluation and labeling system of biodegradable materials, and provide technology for guiding differentiated consumption and encouraging differentiated development Support and create a market atmosphere conducive to the development of biodegradable materials.

     

      The General Administration of Market Supervision will continue to carry out the formulation and revision of national standards such as the "Definition, Classification, Labeling and Degradability Requirements for Degradable Plastics" (GB/T 20197), to regulate the production, sales and use of degradable materials, and to treat plastic pollution.
    Provide technical support.
