从2019年到2021年，全球一次性塑料的产量每年增加600万吨，尽管世界范围内的法规更加严格，生产商在解决这一问题和促进回收方面 “进展甚微”。
-
一次性塑料是世界上最紧迫的环境威胁之一，大量的废物被埋在垃圾场或未经处理被倾倒在河流和海洋中，而且制造过程也是气候变暖温室气体的主要来源。
-
从 "原始 "化石燃料来源生产的一次性塑料仍然远远没有达到顶峰，而使用再生原料仍然 “充其量是一种边缘活动”。
-
埃克森美孚是全球石化公司中生产用于一次性塑料的原生聚合物的榜首，其次是中国的中石化。
-
中石化在2019-2027年期间建设新的生产设施方面处于领先地位，计划年产能超过500万吨。
-
中石化表示，它是第一家加入 "消除塑料垃圾联盟 "的中国公司，同时也在开发自己的可生物降解塑料产品。
-
过去15年，中国推动了全球塑料需求的快速增长，在2019-2021年上线的1500万吨新产能中占了一半。
-
中国表示，它将在解决塑料生产的 "五年计划 "中，大幅削减一次性塑料的生产和使用，并完全禁止一些产品。
-
在计划到2027年增加原始聚合物产能的前20家公司中，中国仍占一半。
-
2021年，约有1.37亿吨一次性塑料是由化石燃料生产的，预计到2027年还将增加1700万吨。
-
The production of single-use plastic rose globally by 6 million tonnes per year from 2019 to 2021, despite tougher worldwide regulations, with producers making “little progress” to tackle the problem and boost recycling.
-
Single-use plastics are one of the world’s most pressing environmental threats, with vast amounts of waste buried in landfills or dumped untreated in rivers and oceans, and the manufacturing process is also a major source of climate-warming greenhouse gas.
-
The production of single-use plastic from “virgin” fossil fuel sources is still nowhere near its peak, and the use of recycled feedstocks remains “at best a marginal activity”.
-
Exxon Mobil was the top of the list of global petrochemical companies producing virgin polymers used in single-use plastics, followed by China’s Sinopec.
-
Sinopec leads the way in building new production facilities over the 2019-2027 period with more than 5 million tonnes of annual capacity planned.
-
Sinopec said it was the first Chinese company to join the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and was also developing its own biodegradable plastic products.
-
China has driven rapid growth in global plastic demand over the past 15 years, accounting for half of the 15 million tonnes of new capacity that came online over 2019-2021.
-
China has said it would make deep cuts in the production and usage of single-use plastics and ban some products entirely in a “five-year plan” to tackle plastic production.
-
China still accounts for half of the top 20 companies planning to increase virgin polymer capacity up to 2027.
-
Around 137 million tonnes of single-use plastics were produced from fossil fuels in 2021 and it is expected to rise by another 17 million tonnes by 2027.
