Cross-Border Plastic Pollution: Charting Cooperation Through China and Pakistan

China and Pakistan face the same Pacific currents, yet their legal responses to marine plastic pollution diverge sharply. This comparison of regulatory frameworks reveals that China's 2024 Marine Environmental Protection Law and new Ecological Code create a more integrated system, while Pakistan's devolved structure remains fragmented. Still, the 2023 Single-Use Plastics Regulations mark a step forward, not a failure. The proposed CPEC cooperation mechanism offers a practical path forward, one that builds on shared infrastructure rather than abstract ideals.
