The standard has been submitted for approval.

　　Professor Weng Yunxuan introduced China's regulations and standards for food-use plastic packaging and briefly explained laws and regulations such as the Product Quality Law, the Provisional Regulations on the Recycling and Utilization of Packaging Resources, and the Implementation Measures of the Product Production License Management Regulations.

　　Chief Engineer Sun Shushi introduced the safety and environmental protection requirements of plastic products and the selection and application of antioxidants.

　　Professor Wu Daming analyzed the status and importance of plastic products in the national economy, introduced typical toxic and harmful substances in plastic products, their hazards, and relevant laws and regulations issued at home and abroad, and put forward relevant policy suggestions from a technical perspective.

　　Deputy Director Shi Xunruo introduced the policies, regulations, and laws on food-contact PVC products (especially PVC cling film) in the EU, the United States, Japan, and South Korea, as well as the relevant laws and regulations on plasticizers and heat stabilizers in the EU, the United States, and Japan. She also introduced recent domestic regulations on food packaging material additives.

　　Factory Director Xing Guangquan analyzed China's plasticizer market and product structure and introduced relevant laws and regulations on plasticizers at home and abroad in recent years.
