China Bans Non-Degradable Plastic On Flights

Published

China will ban the use of disposable plastic packaging bags, tableware, and straws on domestic flights starting from 2022, the Civil Aviation Administration of China said Wednesday.

Airports with an annual throughput of at least 2 million passengers will also stop providing such products in 2022, and the ban will be extended to all airports and international passenger flights in 2023, the administration said. The ban was part of a five-year plan released by the administration to control plastic pollution.





By 2025, the consumption of disposable non-degradable plastic in the civil aviation industry will decline sharply from the 2020 level, according to the plan. Airlines in the country have already started the green transition, with some companies replacing disposable plastic tableware with recyclable ones and piloting on-board garbage sorting.
