Abstract: The book China’s Green Code for Fighting Plastics was co-authored by Zhejiang University of Science and Technology, China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation, Ecological and Environmental Publicity and Education Center of Zhejiang Province, Hangzhou Research Institute of Chemical Industry and other institutions, and was published by China Social Sciences Press in November 2024. Coinciding with the convening of the fifth session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee to develop an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution, including in the marine environment (INC-5), it seems to be a fateful encounter, and it is also a strong response to China’s consensus and actions to deal with plastic pollution. It is hoped that this book can enable readers to have a better understanding of plastics, their pollution and governance, and take actions, starting with the small “reducing plastics consumption” and “picking up plastic waste” around them, to accumulate momentum and energy to end plastic pollution and move towards a better green future.
Key words: Plastic pollution, microplastics, INC-5, Peoples vs. Plastics
