Under the background of environmental protection, the prosperity of the ecological plastics industry continues to increase

Ecological plastics, also known as self-chemical plastics and modified polyolefin biodegradable plastics, refer to high-tech materials that use renewable resources as raw materials and are converted into polymers through biotechnology. Ecological plastics have the advantages of non-toxic, pollution-free, degradable, renewable and anti-aging, and have broad application prospects in food processing, construction engineering, medical and health, automobile manufacturing and other fields. There are a wide variety of ecological plastics, including PMU inorganic and biodegradable materials, wood-plastic composite materials, high-efficiency light stabilizer mulch films, PE catalytic degradation mulch films, etc.

In September 2021, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment jointly issued the “Action Plan for Plastic Pollution Control during the 14th Five-Year Plan”. The document clearly proposed to strengthen plastic pollution control, actively promote the green design of plastic products, and further promote the substitution of non-degradable plastics. product. Driven by national policies, the market demand for ecological plastics will further grow, and the industry’s development is expected to accelerate.

According to the “2023-2028 China Ecological Plastics Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, from Looking at product segments, wood-plastic composite materials (WPC) have excellent performance and are in strong demand in the field of building materials. Wood-plastic composite materials usually use waste plant fibers as raw materials and are deeply processed to produce wooden materials. They are widely used in simple parking rooms, open-air platforms, bathrooms and other scenes. In recent years, the market scale of wood-plastic composite materials, as a segmented product of ecological plastics, has continued to expand. In 2022, the market size of wood-plastic composite materials in my country will reach US$1.03 billion.

As a green material, ecological plastics are widely used in many fields. In the field of food processing, ecological plastics can be used as food packaging, with advantages such as safety and environmental protection; in the field of medical and health care, ecological plastics can be used as drug sustained-release materials, and can also be used for hemostasis and surgical sutures to assist wound healing and tissue regeneration. ; In the field of automobile manufacturing, ecological plastics can be used to produce automobile interiors, rearview mirror brackets, cooling fans, etc. As research continues to deepen, the application scope of ecological plastics is expected to be further expanded in the future.

In recent years, thanks to the deepening of the concept of green environmental protection, the prosperity of the ecological plastics industry has continued to increase, attracting many environmental protection companies to lay out R&D and production tracks, driving the market competition to become increasingly fierce. The main manufacturers of ecological plastics in my country include Jinsu (Hainan) Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., Suzhou Yinrui Environmental Protection Co., Ltd., Shandong Tianzhuang Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., Sichuan Miaoshun Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., etc.

Industry analysts said that benefiting from the gradual implementation of national environmental protection policies, my country’s demand for ecological plastic applications is becoming increasingly strong, and the development of the industry is accelerating. As a subdivided product of ecological plastics, wood-plastic composite materials have excellent performance and good industry development prospects. As local companies continue to make breakthroughs in production technology, the application scope of ecological plastics will be further expanded.
