Research on the Stock and Flow of Plastic Resources in China’s Environment

Abstract

The waste of plastic resources and environmental pollution with the rapid growth of plastic production and consumption is becoming more and more serious, so the study of the metabolic process of plastic resources is very important to save resources and protect the environment. This paper examines the life cycle metabolic process of plastics accumulated through 2018 in China from production and use to eventual abandonment. The research shows that the metabolic scale of plastic in China is huge, and the influence of disposable plastic products on plastic metabolism is very large. Waste plastic is a very important direction for resource loss.
