Abstract:
      Data and report analysis methods were used to systematically review the European Union and Japan ' s plastic film products and related standards, as well as the practices and effectiveness of plastic film application and recycling. The results showed that:The plastic film products used in the European Union and Japan were mainly traditional colored plastic films, with a thickness of ≥0.02 mm, which is more than twice the thickness of plastic films in China. The relevant standard requirements were also higher than those in China. The European Union and Japan mainly used plastic films on horticultural crops such as vegetables, with complete collection and processing systems. The plastic film recovery rate was over 80%, and there was basically no problem of residual plastic film pollution. Most European Union countries and Japan had relatively complete waste management legislation, without specific legal provisions for plastic films. Due to the high recovery rate and low impurity content of plastic films, most of the recovered plastic films could be reused reasonably. The entire industry chain of plastic film had excellent design and application, which is worth learning from in China.
