On October 27, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "List of Outdated Production Processes and Equipment for Elimination of Industrial Solid Wastes That Cause Serious Environmental Pollution within a Time Limit", requiring that outdated production processes of industrial solid wastes that seriously pollute the environment be eliminated within a time limit, including waste rubber and plastics craft.

The policy is to speed up the elimination of outdated production techniques and equipment that cause serious environmental pollution, and to continuously improve the level of industrial green development. It will be implemented from 2022.
