我国食品接触塑料包装制品再生利用的法律规制：以PET饮料瓶为例

Legal Regulation of Recycling of Food Contact Plastic Packaging Materials in China: A Case Study on Polyethylene Terephthalate(PET) Beverage Bottles

回收塑料用于食品包装制品是未来的发展趋势,我国目前对此尚无明确的法律规定。推动我国食品接触塑料包装制品再生利用的法律规制,以食品安全为中心,兼顾环境保护、循环经济与绿色消费,在保障食品接触材料对食品安全性的基础上,既能促进食品包装再生利用产业发展,又能推动废弃塑料治理与环境保护,实现食品安全前提下的资源循环利用与消费升级。本文从我国法律规制的发展概况出发,在论述法律规制的必要性与可行性、对域外经验借鉴的基础上,提出确认回收塑料的法律地位、制定再生聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯材料的食品安全国家标准、完善食品接触再生塑料包装的市场准入、构建再生利用社会共治格局的完善路径。

Recycling of plastic food packaging is a development trend in the future. There are currently no clear legal provisions on this issue in China. The legal regulation of recycling of food contact plastic packaging materials in China should focus on food safety while taking into account environmental protection, recycling economy and green consumption, which will not just promote the food packaging recycling industry’s development, but also will promote waste plastic management and environmental protection, thereby realizing the resource recycling and consumption upgrading under the premise of food safety. Based on the general situation of legal regulation in China, this article discusses the necessity and feasibility of legal regulation. Meanwhile, drawing on foreign experience, it proposes that the legal status of plastic food packaging recycling be defined, national food safety standards for recycled polyethylene terephthalate(PET) materials be formulated, market access for recycled food contact packaging materials be improved, and a social co-governance pattern for food packaging recycling be constructed.
