1. "Plastic restriction order" issued for ten years The National Development and Reform Commission is formulating a new policy

The National Development and Reform Commission's website invites people from all walks of life from January 5 to January 31, 2028 to provide opinions and suggestions on the management requirements of plastic products in different fields by setting up a column of "I offer suggestions for the prevention and control of plastic waste pollution". This is a further step taken by the state to prevent and control "white pollution" since the implementation of the "Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Restricting the Production and Sales of Plastic Shopping Bags" in 2008.

The scope of comments included:

1. Suggestions on consumption scenarios, operating procedures, and commodity categories that have restrictions or prohibitions on the use of plastic products;

2. Suggestions for the promotion and application of alternative products for existing mature alternatives;

3. Suggestions for situations where the use or replacement conditions are not yet available and it is necessary to regulate the use of plastic products;

4. Other opinions and suggestions on the prevention and control of plastic waste pollution.

Ten years after the "Plastic Limitation Order" was issued, China's effectiveness in controlling "white pollution" has once again sparked heated debate. In fact, after nearly 10 years of implementation, the effectiveness of the "Plastics Restriction Order" has been mixed. Nowadays, the new format requires the "plastic restriction order" to keep pace with the times and needs to be constantly adjusted. Industry insiders pointed out that the adjustment of the "Plastic Limitation Order" is not simply to expand its scope of application, but to enrich the governance methods and enhance governance capabilities on the basis of drawing on experience and lessons, with a view to finally achieving the original intention of "limiting white".
