Plastics belong to the material recycling industry, and the management departments attributable to it involve multiple ministries and industry associations. They are relatively scattered and do not have separate management. The policies are mainly guiding and planning policies. In recent years, my country's policy system for recycled plastics has been gradually improved.
In July 2017, the State Council issued the “Implementation Plan for Prohibiting the Entry of Foreign Garbage to Promote the Reform of the Solid Waste Import Management System”, stipulating that “before the end of 2017, the import of solid wastes that are harmful to the environment and the people have a strong reaction will be completely prohibited; by the end of 2019, gradually Stop importing solid waste that can be replaced by domestic resources. "At the same time, it is necessary to speed up the construction of a domestic solid waste recycling system, establish a sound producer responsibility extension system, promote the classification of urban and rural domestic waste, and increase the recycling rate of domestic solid waste by 2020. , Increasing the domestic solid waste recycling volume from 246 million tons in 2015 to 350 million tons."

Significant progress has been made in key areas and key links of waste. The total amount of bulk industrial solid waste storage and disposal is zero growth, the main agricultural waste is fully utilized, the level of domestic waste reduction and resource utilization is comprehensively improved, and a group of solid waste resource utilization and utilization backbone enterprises have been cultivated. The "Solid Waste Law" has now entered the revision process, and the domestic waste classification system has been written into the draft.
