Plastic pollution is recognized as one of the most urgent global environmental concerns. China top producer and consumer plastics creates plastic waste globally. To evaluate policy options to control in China, we first reviewed relevant policies action plans place. Then, examined plastic-material flows changes at national level based on officially published data current situation efficacy macro-level. Results showed that 2016, start 13th Five-Year Plan, was a pivotal year history China’s tackling issues nationally internationally. Since growth trend production consumption products has slowed recycling rate risen, surpassing 30% 2021. further tackle pollution, key suggestions with important implications were provided, covering better integration policies, combined management vertical–horizontal governance, tracking-system implementation, introduction quality-certification system, development behaviour-based consumer-oriented solutions, promotion stakeholder collaboration, need for appropriate post-COVID-19 policies.

Every year, the global production of plastic waste reaches a staggering 400 million metric tons (Mt), precipitating adverse consequences for environment, food safety, and biodiversity as it degrades into microplastics (MPs). The multifaceted nature MP pollution, coupled with its intricate physiological impacts, underscores pressing need comprehensive policies legislative frameworks. Such measures, alongside advancements in technology, hold promise averting ecological catastrophe oceans. Mandated legislation represents pivotal step towards restoring oceanic health securing well-being planet. This work offers an overview policy hurdles, initiatives, prospective strategies addressing pollution due to MP. Additionally, this explores innovative approaches that yield fresh insights combating across various sectors. Emphasizing importance plastics treaty, article potential galvanize collaborative efforts mitigating pollution's deleterious effects on marine ecosystems. Successful implementation such treaty could revolutionize economy, steering circular, less polluting model operating within planetary boundaries. Failure act decisively risks exacerbating scourge attendant repercussions both humanity environment. Central endeavor are formulation, content, execution itself, which demand careful consideration. While recognizing is not panacea, serves mechanism enhancing governance elevating ambitions achieving zero by 2040. Adopting life cycle approach management allows nuanced understanding possible trade-offs between environmental impact economic growth, guiding selection optimal solutions socio-economic implications mind. By embracing strategy integrates measures technological innovations, we can substantially reduce influx litter at sources, safeguarding oceans future generations.

The law on marine environmental protection is a branch of the and basis for conduct protection. Since its promulgation in 1982, China’s Marine Environmental Protection Law has undergone two revisions three amendments, forming legal system based Constitution, with as overarching principle, core, various laws elements gripping force. revision 2023 was 2018 supervision inspection enforcement team Standing Committee National People’s Congress, implementation construction strong maritime country, adaptation to reform ocean governance system. Compared previous Law, improvements newly revised are mainly reflected following: optimizing institutional mechanism, reflecting Land Sea Coordination, strengthening management, litter pollution prevention control, enhancing biodiversity, regulation estuaries, strict liability.
