Guidelines for Classification and Labeling Requirements for Degradable Plastic Products——之解读

In January 2020, the "Opinions on Further Strengthening the Control of Plastic Pollution" was issued and implemented. In order to better promote the standardized use of degradable plastic alternatives and promote the efficiency of law enforcement and supervision, it was clarified that the standard labeling of products should be formulated. In July 2020, nine departments jointly issued the "Notice on Solidly Promoting the Control of Plastic Pollution", which further clarified the detailed standards for the ban and restriction management of relevant plastic products (2020 version), and carried out further work on relevant standards and labels. Deploy, and define the worker process. To this end, under the guidance of the Standard Technology Management Department of the State Administration for Market Regulation and other relevant ministries and commissions, led by the China National Light Industry Federation, together with the China National Institute of Standardization, China Plastics Processing Industry Association, China Plastics Processing Industry Association Degradable Plastics Professional Committee, National The Bio-based Materials and Degradable Products Standardization Technical Committee, the National Plastic Products Standardization Technical Committee and other units have jointly formed a special working group for plastic pollution control to promote the green development of the full life cycle of plastics that are recyclable, easy to recycle, and degradable.

On this basis, the China National Light Industry Federation organized the Light Industry Plastics Processing and Application Research Institute, the China Plastics Association Degradable Plastics Professional Committee and other units to draft the "Guidelines for the Classification and Labeling of Degradable Plastic Products" (hereinafter referred to as the "Guidelines"). The drafting work of the "Guide" has won the approval of China National Institute of Standardization, China Plastics Processing Industry Association, China Chamber of Commerce, China Chain Store & Franchise Association, National Technical Committee for Standardization of Plastic Products, National Technical Committee for Standardization of Bio-based Materials and Degradable Products and related production enterprises. and other units, and openly solicit opinions from the whole society through websites, emails, written documents, etc., and finally form the "Guide" after approval.
