In 2020, the recovery and comprehensive utilization rate of agricultural film in China will reach more than 80%.

On October 20-21, the Ministry of Agriculture and the National Development and Reform Commission jointly held an on-the-spot meeting to promote the comprehensive utilization of agricultural plastic film in Lanzhou City, Gansu Province. The meeting stressed that it is necessary to fully sum up and promote good experiences and practices in various places, constantly intensify our work, and strive to achieve more than 80% of the recovery and comprehensive utilization rate of agricultural film by 2020.

The meeting pointed out that plastic film is the fourth largest means of agricultural production after seeds, pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Plastic film mulching technology "fills rice bags and enriches vegetable baskets", which has made an important contribution to China's food security. However, due to long-term heavy use and light recovery, the current recovery rate of agricultural film in China is less than 2 beat 3, and the residual pollution of plastic film in some areas is serious. The comprehensive utilization of plastic film and pollution control is a systematic project, which is affected by many factors, involves a wide range of aspects, and is difficult to control.

The meeting demanded that agricultural departments at all levels should focus on doing a good job in the control of agricultural plastic film pollution. First, strengthen organizational leadership and supervision and management, pay attention to coordination and cooperation, and form a strong joint force of work. Drawing lessons from the legislative experience of plastic film in Gansu and Xinjiang, strengthening the supervision and management of the whole process of plastic film in accordance with the law, and constantly promoting the comprehensive utilization of plastic film has achieved remarkable results. The second is to strengthen scientific and technological support and do a good job of pilot demonstration. Speed up the research and development of technologies related to plastic film treatment. We will continue to do a good job in the pilot demonstration project of clean production of agricultural plastic film and establish a long-term mechanism. All provinces should actively create conditions and strive for local financial support. The third is to strengthen publicity and guidance to enhance public awareness. Through multi-channel and multi-form publicity and guidance, we should mobilize all parties to gradually form a good situation for the public to participate in the prevention and control of agricultural film pollution.

Ma Rong, deputy director of the Department of Resource Conservation and Environmental Protection of the National Development and Reform Commission, said In the next step, we will continue to formulate and improve the planning standards of agricultural circular economy, promote the construction of pilot demonstration projects of agricultural circular economy, introduce supporting policies for the utilization of agricultural wastes such as plastic film, and strengthen the research and development of key common technologies for efficient utilization of agricultural resources. cultivate specialized service institutions for agricultural circular economy, improve the evaluation and acceptance system of cleaner production projects, Speed up the innovation of development mechanism and other measures to develop agricultural circular economy and promote agricultural cleaner production Promote the transformation of the mode of agricultural development and promote the construction of agricultural ecological civilization.
