Product Overview Guangdong Shuanghe New Materials Co., Ltd.’s OBP (Ocean Bound Plastic) recycled material specifically refers to discarded plastics located within 50 km of coastlines or along riverbanks—high-risk zones for marine entry—collected through standardized recovery, multi-stage cleaning and purification, and twin-screw compounding granulation into low-carbon, circular, high-performance polymer materials. Globally, 80% of marine plastic pollution originates from such near-shore abandoned waste. Shuanghe’s OBP recycled pellets intercept plastics before they enter the ocean, preventing microplastic generation. The entire process adheres strictly to international third-party OBP certification standards, with full traceability across collection points, warehousing, and granulation—distinguishing it from conventional mixed recycled materials. It serves as a core compliant, low-carbon raw material for export brands, eco-cultural products, outdoor fishing gear, and sustainable packaging.

Biological regeneration process technology: A green innovation pathway for the circular economy of waste plastics

Introduction Against the backdrop of increasingly severe global plastic pollution, recycling and reuse of waste plastics have become pivotal to building a circular economy system. Although conventional physical and chemical regeneration technologies are mature in process, they face multiple limitations regarding energy consumption, environmental friendliness, and product quality. Recently, biological regeneration process technology—a revolutionary innovative solution—is reshaping the industrial landscape of waste plastic recycling and regeneration. By harnessing biological means such as microorganisms and enzyme catalysis, this technology enables efficient degradation and high-value conversion of waste plastics, offering an entirely new technical pathway to tackle 'white pollution'. Wuhu Baolüte Plastics Technology Co., Ltd., a high-tech enterprise specializing in R&D and production of modified recycled HDPE pellets, has conducted in-depth exploration and practical application of biological regeneration technology. This article systematically elaborates on the technical principles and advantages of biological regeneration processes, introduces the company’s R&D progress and real-world application outcomes in this field, and outlines future industry trends and policy support—aiming to provide reference for the green transformation of the waste plastic recycling and regeneration industry. I. Principles and Mechanisms of Biological Regeneration Process Technology 1.1 Molecular Mechanism of Microbial Degradation The core of biological regeneration lies in utilizing microbial metabolic activity to degrade plastics. Microbial PE degradation typically occurs in two main stages: (1) enzymatic cleavage, where polymer chains are cut into smaller oligomers; followed by (2) biological assimilation, wherein microbes metabolize these low-molecular-weight fragments. This process functions like a precise 'biochemical assembly line': first, hydrophobic surface substances enable microbes to adhere to microplastics and form biofilms; next, enzymes such as PET hydrolase and PE oxidase—the 'molecular cutting tools'—cleave long-chain polymers into small-molecule monomers; subsequently, these monomers are absorbed into cells and utilized as energy sources for metabolism; finally, under aerobic conditions, they are converted into CO₂ and H₂O, while under anaerobic conditions, methane is produced—completing harmless transformation. Research shows that PE biodegradation depends on initial oxidation events, achievable via radiation or enzymatic reactions, and resulting products can be further metabolized similarly to long-chain alkanes. This finding provides critical theoretical foundations for understanding and optimizing biodegradation processes. In practice, researchers have isolated PET-degrading bacteria (Ideonella sakaiensis) from deep-sea sediments; this strain secretes PET hydrolase to break down plastic into terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol—compounds that other microbes can further metabolize. 1.2 Breakthrough Advances in Enzyme Catalysis Technology Enzyme catalysis technology constitutes another vital component of biological regeneration processes. Through gene editing and machine learning optimization, scientists have developed FAST-PETase—an engineered enzyme capable of degrading untreated PET bottles within 24 hours at 50°C. This breakthrough offers significant advantages over traditional methods: although the 'Osaka Sakai bacterium' discovered in 2016 secretes PETase and MHETase enzymes that fully decompose PET films within six weeks at 30°C, the required time remains prohibitively long. More importantly, advances in enzyme engineering have dramatically enhanced enzyme performance. Yuantian Biology leverages AI-driven enzyme design and rational engineering of PET-degrading enzymes to construct comprehensive enzyme libraries—enabling a single enzyme to possess dual catalytic functions. Its enzymatic activity is increased 1,920-fold over natural enzymes, and its thermal stability improved by 20°C—significantly reducing costs and energy consumption.
