The production capacity will reach 1 billion tons in 2030!

As the overcapacity of domestic refining and chemical enterprises accelerates, my country's refining and chemical production capacity will reach 1 billion tons in 2030, and market competition will become increasingly fierce.

Driven by environmental protection policies, the application of PLA, PBAT, PHA, PCL, PBS and other biodegradable plastics in the fields of disposable tableware, packaging, agriculture, automobiles, medical treatment, textiles, etc.
is ushering in new opportunities for market development.
Modified materials of biodegradable plastics and related additives, including anti-hydrolysis agents, toughening agents, nucleating agents, and antibacterial agents, will also have a new round of innovation.

Dai Junming, a senior expert and professor-level senior engineer of Sinopec Yizheng Chemical Fiber Co.
, Ltd.
, introduced the synthesis and application of the biodegradable material PBXX.
She pointed out that, driven by environmental protection policies, the application of biodegradable plastic PBXX (PBST, PBAT, PBSA, PBS, etc.
) in the fields of disposable tableware, packaging, agriculture, automobiles, medical treatment, textiles, etc.
is ushering in new opportunities for market development.
.
PBAT is currently one of the most active biodegradable plastics and one of the best degradable materials in the market.
Typical representatives are Ecoflex® from BASF in Germany and Origo-Bi from Novamont in Italy, as well as domestic Jinhui Zhaolong and Lanshan Tunhe is mainly used in packaging films, agricultural films, disposable plastic bags, tableware and other disposable products, foam materials (packaging, shoe materials, etc.
) and PLA modification.

　　Li Yansheng, chief scientist and professor-level senior engineer of Wison Engineering (China) Co.
, Ltd.
, introduced environmentally friendly materials: biodegradable plastics and PGA technology research based on the oxalate route.
He pointed out that polyglycolic acid (PGA) and polylactic acid (PLA) have become key products in the development of new materials.
The performance of PGA is very similar to that of PLA products, which is developing very fast at present, and the cost is only 1/2 of it, which has obvious performance advantages and price advantages.
It has been widely used in packaging, agricultural film, disposable tableware, medical supplies and other fields abroad.

　　Due to its excellent biodegradability, excellent gas barrier properties and excellent mechanical properties, PGA is widely used in biomedicine (medical sutures, drug controlled release carriers, fracture fixation materials, tissue engineering stents, suture reinforcement materials, etc.
) ), general-purpose plastics (as a fully biodegradable plastic, replacing the widely used bio-stable general-purpose plastics) and other aspects (used as a slow-release system for herbicides, food preservation barrier materials).

　　In 2016, the global market size of PGA has exceeded 6 billion U.
S.
dollars, and the future market prospects are broad.
It is estimated that the market size will exceed 9 billion U.
S.
dollars in 2024.
