[Plastic] National People's Congress Representative Ou Qi: Improving the independent controllability of the chemical industry supply chain

As one of the pillar industries of the national economy, the chemical industry has a large scale, a long industrial chain, intensive capital and technology, and a large industrial driving effect.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, 32% of the more than 130 key basic chemical materials in my country are still blank, and 52% are still dependent on imports.

The Central Economic Work Conference emphasized that the safety and stability of the industrial chain and supply chain is the foundation for building a new development pattern.

According to Ou Qi, there are many types of fine chemical products and high technical content.

According to reports, the main problems restricting the independent controllability of key links in my country's chemical industry chain include insufficient industrial chain innovation capabilities, innovation "blocking points" urgently need to be opened up; insufficient protection of intellectual property rights, which dampens the enthusiasm of enterprises for independent innovation.

On the whole, my country’s chemical industry is mainly spot-based innovation, with high innovation costs, long technology transformation cycles, few horizontal industrial exchanges, and in-depth understanding of the basic theories and application scenarios of key links, resulting in independent intellectual property rights, especially original technologies.

Chemical production has the characteristics of high temperature and pressure, inflammable and explosive, and the production process of fine chemical industry contains more dangerous processes, which is a high-risk industry.

The utilization rate of hazardous waste disposal is obviously low, and there is a big bottleneck in wastewater treatment technology.

Technology patents are the core competitiveness of an enterprise.

The chemical industry chain is at the center of the economic security line, which is of great significance for my country to achieve high-quality development.

Ou Qi said that it is necessary to speed up and guide the industrial chain layout.

Strengthen the integration and innovation of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain and various chemical parks.

"Establish a safety and environmental technology list system to accelerate the realization of green, safe and controllable industrial development.

Regarding safety accidents caused by hazardous waste issues, Ouqi believes that the ecological environment authorities should accelerate the improvement of hazardous waste databases in key areas and key sub-sectors, and use hazardous waste inventory as one of the basis for whether the company can normally produce, and the company should stop production.

Ou Qi said that it is very important to increase the protection of independent intellectual property rights, strengthen the protection of the entire chain of intellectual property rights, and increase the punishment of infringements.
