Beijing, April 23: China is the largest country in the world and is where one-third of all businesses with production facilities for single-use plastic is based. The country consumes at least one-fifth of the world s plastics and is the top producer and exporter of virgin and single-use plastics. Additionally, fossil fuels are predominantly used in the production of single-use plastics. If single-use plastic production keeps up its current growth trajectory, it may contribute five to ten per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, which would exacerbate climate change. The main producer of single-use plastic is a Chinese company called Sinopec. Furthermore, the company s greenhouse gas emissions increase annually, Indo Pacific Center for Strategic Communications (IPCSC) reported.
