Protect the environment from plastic.

Plastic war and plastic decision.

The COVID-19 epidemic in 2020 also brought about new changes in the plastics industry.

Behind the great increase in the demand for plastics, people have to think about the current situation of the widespread use of disposable plastics in medical treatment and epidemic life, how to take a step forward in the treatment of plastic pollution in the post-epidemic era, and how to realize the reform in the treatment of plastic pollution in order to better achieve the goal of sustainable development of human beings.

Obviously, cooperating with the government, enterprises, social organizations and the public is very important to further strengthen the control of plastic pollution.

To clarify the real solution to plastic pollution requires in-depth exchanges and discussions among all parties.

Four themes.

Starting from the four themes of "plastic reduction trend", "limited plastic new policy", "corporate responsibility" and "road to solution", this forum will invite important guests to discuss the latest and hottest industry topics, including COVID-19 's impact on plastics, challenges in the application of biodegradable plastics, observation of plastic reduction performance by domestic and foreign enterprises, and out-of-control garbage monitoring.

For details of the agenda and guest list, please see:

Let's start with the morning part of your spoiler agenda:

The influence of COVID-19 epidemic situation on plastic problem.

Zhu Hanqiang, Director of Green cherish Earth Environment Initiative.

Under the epidemic, everyone is worried that there is too much plastic waste.

If we say that the overall amount of waste decreases rather than increases, is it something to be happy about?

Even if it's a joke, please don't be happy too early, because of the threat of plastic rubbish.

The question is, are we ready for the challenge?

Effects of plastics on climate change.

Hu Jingwei, CYCAN Communication Officer.

Plastic pollution is not just a problem of garbage or air pollution, it has a direct impact on climate change.

Sharing will reveal the global climate organization's plastic reduction practices and public advocacy actions.

Plastic pollution is a global environmental problem.

After the plastic restriction order was issued at the beginning of this year, local governments have also formulated corresponding implementation plans one after another.

In addition to China, various treaties have been concluded in the international community to deal with different plastic pollution problems.

What kind of plastic pollution control storm will be brought about by local implementation plans and international treaties?

Development trend of Biodegradable Plastics.

Institute of Physicochemical Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Researcher Ji Junhui.

In the new plastic restriction order, "biodegradable plastics" is obviously a favorite.

How the development status of the biodegradable plastics industry in China will develop in the future, and what challenges we should face correctly and rationally.

Are we ready to promote biodegradable plastics? are we ready for relevant standards, market regulation and how to properly dispose of biodegradable plastics are all issues of concern to the society.

We still need a sound standard policy and waste management system in order to avoid new pollution problems caused by "alternatives".

Harmful Chemical Additives in plastic products.

Wen Ruihuan, Deputy Director of Shenzhen Zero waste Environmental Protection Public Welfare Development Center.

Are disposable plastics really "clean" and "safe"? the production of plastics and the number of chemical additives used to make plastics are increasing exponentially. We need to be clearly aware that plastics and their toxic additives pose a threat to the environment and human health. And it is becoming a potential obstacle to our progress towards a circular economy.
