"2020 Blue Book of China's Polycarbonate Industry Development" released

On November 17 , the " 2020 China Polycarbonate Industry Development Blue Book" ( hereinafter referred to as the Blue Book ), written by the Polycarbonate Branch of the China Synthetic Resins Association, was published in Haikou.

On November 17 , the " 2020 China Polycarbonate Industry Development Blue Book" ( hereinafter referred to as the Blue Book ), written by the Polycarbonate Branch of the China Synthetic Resins Association, was published in Haikou.

The blue book analyzes the current development of the domestic polycarbonate industry: on the one hand, China’s polycarbonate production capacity will show a "blowout growth" in the next few years, which will surely promote the rapid development of China’s polycarbonate industry ; on the other hand, the domestic polycarbonate industry The growth rate of production capacity is not equal to the growth rate of demand.

According to statistics, over the past 5 years, China's polycarbonate production capacity growth, from 2015 years of 67.

To this end, the Polycarbonate Branch of the China Synthetic Resins Association submitted to the Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other government departments in 2019 the "China Polycarbonate Industry Development Survey Report" on "China's polycarbonate industry investment is overheated, and it is urgent to prevent excessive production capacity.

Looking at the development of the global polycarbonate industry, established European and American companies represented by Covestro, SABIC and Trinseo , Japanese companies headed by Mitsubishi, Teijin, and Idemitsu, as well as South Korean companies such as Lotte and LG , still occupy A leading position in the global market.

First, compared with international industry giants, the performance stability, data accumulation and technological maturity of polycarbonate products in our country cannot support the demand for quality development of drafts.

On the one hand, the production capacity of low-end products is increased, showing a situation of surplus ; on the other hand, high-end products still rely on imports.

The state should specifically encourage the development of mid-to-high-end polycarbonate products to avoid the disadvantage of a structural shortage of high-end products in the future in the case of overall overcapacity.

Zheng Kai, chairman of the China Synthetic Resins Association, said in his concluding speech at the press conference that polycarbonate, as an important member of the engineering plastics family, has outstanding characteristics such as high transparency, high impact resistance, and heat resistance, and superior comprehensive performance.

However, with the continuous advancement of the plastic circular economy, the voice of "plastic limit order" is constantly rising, and the sustainable development of the polycarbonate industry is also facing new challenges.
He emphasized that plastic recycling is no longer a simple cost reduction.
If waste plastics are not effectively recovered and recycled, it will cause huge pollution and damage to the ecological environment of our country.
He called on leading companies in the polycarbonate industry to actively take precautions.
On the one hand, improve the physical recycling of materials in China and strive to achieve a closed loop ; on the other hand, invest a lot of technical force and R&D funds to commit to chemical recycling to solve physical problems.
Recycling hard-to-solve problems.
It is recommended that the government should increase industry and industry publicity and adopt various measures to deal with plastic pollution.
Actively encourage more relevant parties to participate in the process of mechanical recycling and chemical recycling of polycarbonate.
Take sustainable development as our mission to create a green future for the industry.
