An opinion piece highlighting the role plastic packaging, particularly single-use commodity packaging, contributes to global plastic pollution. The article specially unpacks the quantities found on land in comparison to those found in the marine environment. While land-based plastic pollution is approximately three times bigger in terms of scale, the article notes that current research and development and policy strategies are solely focused upon marine-based pollution. The article seeks to address this by proposing strategies to readdress the balance in attention and to engage academia, government and the public in a polyvalent effort towards resolving the ecological damage being caused to our environment.

陆地短效塑料包装：解决塑料污染的盲点

一篇观点文章强调了塑料包装（尤其是一次性商品包装）在全球塑料污染中的作用。与在海洋环境中发现的数量相比，本文专门对在陆地上发现的数量进行了包装。虽然陆地塑料污染的规模大约是其三倍，但该文章指出，当前的研究和开发和政策策略仅针对海洋污染。本文旨在通过提出策略来解决这一问题，以解决注意力的平衡问题，并促使学术界，政府和公众多方努力，以解决对环境造成的生态破坏。
