Demonstration Project of Plastic Pollution Prevention and Control in Guangdong Province
This project intends to reduce plastic pollution by releasing recommended inventory of advanced environmentally friendly plastic alternative technologies and products, evaluating circular economy demonstration units in the field of plastic substitution and promoting the application of circular meal box model in Guangdong universities
Problems
1. Guangdong government has enacted the inventory of banned and restrained production, sale and use of plastic products. However, there is no inventory of alternative products.
2. Lacking of environmental friendly alternative products for market promotion in Guangdong.
3. There is a gap between supply and demand of alternative products of plastic.
4. Public's awareness of green consumption is weak.
Activities:
1. Releasing recommended inventory of advanced environmentally friendly plastic alternative technologies and products,
2. Evaluating circular economy demonstration units in the field of plastic substitution
3. Promoting the application of circular meal box model in Guangdong universities
4. Conduct outreach and campaign to promote the prevention and control of plastic pollution
5. Project results evaluation and policy recommendation
Anticipated Results:
1. Release Inventory of Advanced Environmental Friendly Plastic Alternative Technologies and Products of Guangdong (2022) and Guideline on Supply and Demand Matchmaking of Plastic Alternative Technologies and Products. Alternatives of single use plastic products are promoted.
2. Release inventory of plastic pollution prevention and control experiences promotion of circular economy demonstration units. Low carbon development pathway of upstream and downstream industries in plastic sector is promoted.
3. Circular meal box model is demonstrated in one university. Over 10000 people benefited and 10 tons of plastic waste reduced or avoided.
4. Public's awareness on green consumption and using alternatives of single-use plastic products enhanced
5. One policy recommendation on promotion of alternatives of single-use plastic products is presented to the government

Project Characteristics and Results
Policy Impact
A policy advocacy report concerning replacing traditional plastic products with new material and enhacing public awareness will be presented to the local government.
Emphasis on Sustainable Livelihoods
The activities will create stimulus for the local community to shift from disposible plastic food boxes to recyclable food boxes, and consequently galvanize capital, enterprises and labor force to shift from traditional plastic production industry to the recycling industry.
Meanwhile, the plastic pollution is expected to be reduced, indirectly boosting local economy and livelihoods.
