China is stepping up restrictions on the production, sale, and use of single-use plastic products, the state planner said.
The National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, which issued the new policy, said plastic bags will be banned in all of China's major cities by the end of 2020 and banned in all cities and towns in 2022. Markets selling fresh produce will be exempt from the ban until 2025.
Some regions and sectors will also face restrictions on the production and sale of plastic products, although it is not yet clear which geographical areas.
