Abstract Plastic pollution is everywhere. It is common to see plastic bags floating in the air, food packaging discarded on the roadside, plastic drink bottles and takeaway meal boxes. The advent of plastic products, can be said to be a major progress in science and technology, providing great convenience for people’s travel, but its harm is also gradually highlighted, and the chemical properties of microplastics are stable, can exist in the environment for a long time. Due to the random disposal of garbage, the plastic waste is not properly disposed of, coupled with the plastic itself is difficult to degrade, resulting in plastic pollution permeated to every corner of the earth, and is closely related to the quality of life of each of us. In response, China has implemented a new “ban on plastic pollution” in order to control plastic pollution. Whether it can show its implementation effect remains to be tested by time. In order to promote the effectiveness of policy implementation, and puts forward we should strengthen the business whether efforts in supervising the illegal use plastic products, using the Internet to keep a biodegradable plastic bags of counterfeit monitoring, biodegradable bags subsequent more into the garbage collection process chain, vigorously supporting the production of biodegradable plastics industry enterprises, increase the propaganda guide the implementation of the “forbidden model”, “plastic limit”, etc., more measures control plastic pollution.
