Microplastics, as a novel type of plastic contaminant, widely exist in the global marine environment, and have become a hot environmental issue in the international community. Poorly managed waste is an important source of marine pollution. In this paper, the pollution situation of plastic waste and microplastics in the world and the sources of micro-plastics are briefly analyzed. And the latest progress in the revision of annexes to plastic waste covered by the Basel Convention was discussed. Meanwhile, the size, abundance, distribution and sources of microplastics in coastal, estuary and inland waters of China were summarized and analyzed. It was proposed that the management system of plastics and microplastics in China should be established and improved in the future, research and supervision on the discharge of plastics and microplastics from key industries into the ocean should be strengthened, a risk assessment system for the impact of microplastics on marine ecosystems should be established, publicity and education should be strengthened, and actively participate in the negotiations on the implementation of international environmental conventions to promote global governance.
