2025年6月1-7日，作为“中挪合作—海洋废塑料与微塑料管理能力建设”二期项目（SINOPLAST II）执行单位，巴塞尔公约亚太区域中心(以下简称“亚太中心”)联合中方主管部门、项目团队和示范城市代表赴比利时和挪威开展技术交流与政策对话活动。

本次交流活动中方代表团由生态环境部固体废物与化学品司有关负责人带队，成员包括生态环境部相关部门人员，项目中方单位亚太中心、生态环境部对外合作与交流中心、生态环境部固体废物与化学品管理技术中心、华东师范大学代表，及项目示范城市的管理部门海南省生态环境厅分管领导等。交流期间，代表团与欧盟委员会和挪威气候与环境部等部门就固体废物、塑料和微塑料污染治理的政策路径、科学进展、技术方案、行业实践等进行了深入交流。

同期，SINOPLAST II的挪方参与单位—挪威环境署还组织了SINOPLAST II的2025年度工作会议。挪威环境署和生态环境部固体废物与化学品司有关负责人分别致开幕词。亚太中心区域化学品管理室主任、SINOPLAST II项目经理陈源介绍了SINOPLAST II项目的总体进展和年度计划。项目参与单位代表分别汇报了各自负责项目活动的进展和思路。

除技术交流外，根据SINOPLAST II挪方项目单位安排，代表团先后参观了塑料饮料容器回收系统、城市生活垃圾自动化分拣设施；并开展净滩行动。

SINOPLAST II项目由亚太中心执行主任李金惠（清华大学环境学院教授）和谭全银（清华大学环境学院助理研究员）作联合负责人。此次交流活动系SINOPLAST II项目活动之一，为我国包括塑料废物在内的固体废物管理提供了重要信息支撑和经验借鉴。SINOPLAST II项目也为中挪双方进一步增强在环境领域的合作搭建了重要平台。

 

From 1-7 June , 2025, the Basel Convention Regional Centre for Asia and the Pacific (hereinafter referred to as "BCRC China"), as the main executing agency of the SINOPLAST II, organized a study visit to Belgium and Norway in collaboration with Chinese environmental authorities, project partners, and representatives from demonstration cities, carrying out technical exchange and policy dialogue initiatives.

The Chinese delegation was led by a senior official from the Department of Solid Waste and Chemicals of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE), and comprised officials from relevant departments of MEE, representatives from BCRC China, the Foreign Environmental Cooperation Center of MEE (FECO), Solid Waste and Chemicals Management Center of MEE (SCC), East China Normal University, as well as the responsible official from the Department of Ecology and Environment of Hainan Province(the administrative authority of the project demonstration city).

During the visit, the delegation held in-depth exchanges with officials from the European Commission and the Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Environment, covering policy pathways, scientific progress, technological solutions, and industry practices in solid waste management and plastic/microplastic pollution control.

As part of the visit, the Norwegian Environment Agency (NEA), hosted a technical workshop covering the different outcomes of the project. The session opened with remarks delivered by the senior officials of NEA and the Department of Solid Waste and Chemicals of MEE. Dr. Chen Yuan, Chief of the Regional Chemicals Management Branch of BCRC China, serving as the Project Manager of SINOPLAST II, presented the project’s overall progress and annual work plan. Subsequently, partner institutions provided updates on the respective project components and shared strategic plans for future activities.

The Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA) and NEA, as the implementing project partners on the Norwegian side, co-organized the study visit. They accompanied the delegation on a visit to Norway’s first marine national park, where the delegation also participated in a coastal cleanup campaign.

Some members of the delegation also conducted field visits to study Norway’s national plastic beverage container collection system and an automated mixed municipal solid waste sorting center.

The SINOPLAST II project is co-directed by Professor Li Jinhui, Executive Director of BCRC China, and Assistant Professor Tan Quanyin, both are faculty members at the School of Environment, Tsinghua University. This study visit, as a key component of the SINOPLAST II project, provided valuable insights and references for enhancing solid waste management in China, particularly in the area of plastic pollution control. The project continues to serve as a vital platform for advancing bilateral cooperation between China and Norway in the field of environmental protection.
