Opportunities, challenges and suggestions for the development of plastic degradation and recycling under the context of circular bioeconomy / 生物工程学报

At present, the negative impact caused by white pollution has spread to all aspects of human society economy, ecosystem, and health, which causes severe challenges for developing the circular bioeconomy. As the largest plastic production and consumption country in the world, China has shouldered an important responsibility in plastic pollution control. In this context, this paper analyzed the relevant strategies of plastic degradation and recycling in the United States, Europe, Japan and China, measured the literature and patents in this field, analyzed the status quo of technology from the perspective of research and development trends, major countries, major institutions, and discussed the opportunities and challenges faced by the development of plastic degradation and recycling in China. Finally, we put forward future development suggestions which include the integration of policy system, technology path, industry development and public cognition.

Analysis and suggestions of current planning frameworks and the status of research on genetic technologies in China / 生物工程学报

This article briefly introduces the strategic framework of genetic technology of Chinese government and Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the remarkable progress of genetic technology under this guidance. Using bibliometric and patent analysis methods, we reveal the current status of genetic technology research and development in China. China has made great achievements, both in terms of quantity and quality of academic publications, and quantity of patent applications. However, there are still something need to be improved, such as international cooperation and combination the efforts of enterprises, universities and research institutes. In the future, China will improve top-level planning and government guidance and supervision. In addition, it is also crucial to encourage investment from enterprise and communities, and to broadcast the science and technology to the whole society. Moreover, actions have to be taken to reduce the risks of bio-safety and bio-security. The innovation and breakthrough of genetic technology is a key to sustainable development in the bio-industry and bio-economy in China.
