Ukusetyenziswa okubonakalayo kweeplastiki kujikeleze i-80 yezigidi zeetoni, kwaye ezo zeemveliso zeplastiki zimalunga nezigidi ezingama-60 zeetoni. Iimveliso zeplastikhi zihambelana ngokusondeleyo nobomi babantu kwaye zinefuthe elikhulu kwizixhobo zeplastiki eziluhlaza.

Ukungeniswa kweTshayina kwiimveliso zeplastiki kuncinci, okusondelelene kakhulu nemeko yokuba i-China lilizwe elikhulu kwiimveliso zeplastiki. Ukuxhomekeka kokungenisa kungaphantsi kwe-1%. Malunga nokuthunyelwa kweemveliso zeplastikhi, imeko yokuthumela kwelinye ilizwe iyaqhubeka ukuba nethemba kwaye ihleli kwinqanaba le-15% ukuya ekhohlo unyaka wonke. Kwi-2018, umthamo wokuthumela ngaphandle wafikelela kwi-19% kwaye umthamo wokuthumela ngaphandle wawuyi-13.163 yezigidi zeetoni. Iimveliso zeplastiki zokungenisa iimveliso eTshayina ziphantsi, kwaye imeko yokuthumela kwelinye ilizwe ilungile.

Lilonke, nangona imveliso yeplastiki yaseTshayina iqhubeka nokukhula, yaqala ukubonisa imeko esezantsi ngo-2018; ushishino belugxile eMzantsi China nase Mpuma China, nolwabiwo lwejografi olungalinganiyo; ukuxhomekeka kokungenisa okuphantsi kunye nemeko elungileyo yokuthumela ngaphandle

Iphepha elichazayo ukuba awusenanto oyifunayo: Eli nqaku limele kuphela izimvo zombhali, kwaye ayinanto yakwenza nomzi mveliso wepetrochemical owenza umanyano lwehlabathi. Ukuvela kwayo kunye neenkcazo kunye nomxholo kwinqaku akuqinisekiswanga ngumanyano. Ubunyani, ukuthembeka kunye nexesha leli nqaku kunye nayo yonke into okanye inxenye yemixholo ayiqinisekiswanga okanye ithenjiswe ngumanyano. Abafundi bayacelwa ukuba babhekise kuyo kwaye nceda uqinisekise iziqulatho ezifanelekileyo ngokwabo.

Iimveliso zeplastikhi kukutyunjwa ngokubanzi kwazo zonke iinkqubo kubandakanya ukubumbela ngenaliti kunye nokudumba ngeplastikhi njengezinto ezingafunekiyo. Iimveliso zeplastikhi zase China zisetyenziswa ikakhulu kwezolimo, ukupakisha, ulwakhiwo, ukuthuthwa kwemizi-mveliso kunye necandelo lobunjineli.

Ukusuka ngo-2008 ukuya ku-2020, imveliso yeplastiki yeTshayina igcine ukukhula okuzinzileyo, kwaye yabonisa ukwehla okubonakalayo ngo-2018. Umzekelo, okoko kuvavanywa okusingqongileyo kwaqala ngo-2017, iifektri ezincinci ezisezantsi kunye namashishini angahambelaniyo athintelwe ngokulandelelana kwaye avaliwe, okuthintele ukwanda kwemveliso yeplastiki, ngakumbi ngo-2018. Kwangelo xesha, oku ikwanxulumene nesiseko esikhulu ngo-2017. Ngo-2017, iimveliso zeplastiki zase China zonyuke nge-3.4499 yezigidi zeetoni, ukonyuka nge-4.43%.
