This policy document “14th Five-Year Plastic Pollution Control Action Plan is developed to further strengthen the whole-chain control of plastic pollution through comprehensive measures across production, usage, recycling, and disposal. It emphasizes reducing single-use plastics in key sectors like retail, e-commerce, and hospitality, promoting reusable packaging, and encouraging public institutions to lead by example. The Plan also supports the development and regulation of biodegradable alternatives, aiming to improve product standards and environmental safety. By 2025, the Plan targets significant reductions in plastic waste leakage and landfill, improved recycling systems, and near-zero plastic litter in key areas such as rivers, coastal zones, tourist sites, and rural regions. It mandates coordinated efforts across government departments and local authorities to ensure effective implementation and accountability.
