It's very appropriate to discuss the issue of plastic in Macao, as Macao is an island and the ocean is a very important issue.Zhao jungui, vice President and secretary general of China petroleum and chemical industry federation, said at the "macau international environmental cooperation and development BBS and exhibition" on March 29, 2019.In this exhibition, China petroleum and chemical industry association, the Macao trade and investment promotion bureau, macau environmental protection bureau, the China association of synthetic resin supply and marketing of plastic recycling, macau branch, macau maritime and water authority institution, the Macao China enterprise association jointly sponsor, the world wide fund for nature's Beijing office as a special partner, for the first time held in "response to Marine plastic pollution in action" as the theme of green workpoint BBS.
Li daoji, a well-known expert on Marine plastics in China and a professor at east China normal university, pointed out that small plastics are also harmful, with 4-8 million tons of plastic entering the ocean every year.At present, the primary source of Marine microplastics is the microplastics industry that enters the environment through sewage treatment plants, and the secondary microplastics, namely the large plastic wastes, are produced by physical, chemical and biological processes that cause splitting and volume reduction.At present, Marine microplastics, as a new type of Marine pollutants, lack of unified monitoring, analysis and evaluation standards, and the impact of migration and transformation of microplastics on human health risks is still a lack of research.China has carried out the research on "Marine microplastics monitoring and ecological environmental effect assessment technology", and the scientific research team has built the prediction model of China's waste output into the sea, and the composition and quantity distribution of microplastics in China's coastal waters.
Rob Opsomer, director of the systemic initiative at the Allen MacArthur foundation, introduces the new plastic economy, which has been signed up by more than 350 leading companies and key organizations around the world in an ongoing attempt to drive a more sustainable recycling economy at its source.
