The Japanese chemical industry is actively exploring solutions to deal with the increasingly severe pollution of marine plastics. Recently, the Japan Chemical Industry Association, the Japan Resin Industry Alliance, the Plastics Recycling Association, the Petrochemical Industry Federation, and the Hydrochloric Acid Industry Association held five meetings to jointly Discuss marine pollution issues.
At the meeting, the five organizations decided to establish a joint affairs bureau to coordinate the environmental protection activities among the five organizations. Among them, the environmental protection plan jointly proposed by the Japan Chemical Industry Association and jointly proposed by 22 companies was strongly supported by the participants. Chemical industry independent and independent marine protection strategies and stricter resin product regulation regulations. And Japan Chemical Society will also embark on a further systematic assessment of the ecological impact of marine plastic waste.
It is estimated that millions of tons of plastic waste flows into the ocean every year. With the continuous increase in the consumption of plastic products in the global market, it is only a matter of time before the amount of waste exceeds 10 million tons. Plastic waste flowing into the ocean flows along with the ocean currents. The global flow continues, and it is expected that by 2050 the quality of rubbish will exceed the sum of fish quality.
After processing, the plastic particles will eventually enter the human body through accumulation of the food chain. Therefore, it is imperative to solve the problem of marine plastic pollution. Japan is a country that makes a living from the sea, and the marine environment is crucial to the development of the country. Therefore, it has become even more important for marine pollution. .
