According to a plan published by the National Commission on Development and Reforms, by the end of this year, non-decomposable plastic bags will be banned at supermarkets and shopping malls in major Chinese cities, as well as in food delivery services.

China will significantly reduce the use of disposable plastic in e-commerce, express delivery and takeaway food by 2022, while promoting alternative materials.

China also plans to establish a system for the production, distribution, consumption, processing and disposal of plastic products by 2025.
