On the evening of September 23, 2023, the opening ceremony of the 19th Asian Games was held grandly in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. On the occasion of the 100-day countdown to the Hangzhou Asian Games, the Hangzhou Asian Games fire was successfully collected at Damojiao Mountain in the Liangzhu Ancient City Heritage Park in Hangzhou. The Asian Games torch also attracted a lot of attention. The Hangzhou Asian Games torch is named “Fire”, and its design concept comes from the Liangzhu culture with a history of five thousand years of Chinese civilization, which symbolizes the passing of the Chinese civilization from generation to generation.
What is worthy of pride is that the design of the torch for this Asian Games uses Cathay bio-based polyamide material for the handle, which is green, low-carbon, environmentally friendly, lightweight, and easy to hold.

Green material – bio-based polyamide
Bio-based polyamide comes from sustainably regenerated plant-based raw materials, which can effectively reduce the use of fossil-based raw materials such as petroleum and coal, and fundamentally reduce carbon emissions.Each ton of products reduces carbon emissions by more than 50% compared with traditional products. The environmental protection and sustainability of bio-based polyamide are not only reflected in the renewable source of raw materials, but also in the closed-loop operation of recyclability in all aspects of the entire supply chain, thus maximizing resource conservation. .
The “fire” torch of this Asian Games is unique among the torch designs of previous large-scale events. The choice of grip material is also different from previous “metal” materials. For the first time, green and environmentally friendly bio-based polyamide material is selected. For a streamlined grip, the material must have good designability, and the hand position must also meet the requirements of a comfortable grip.
Cathay bio-based polyamide materials have easy processing properties, excellent fluidity after the resin is melted, high surface gloss after material processing, and excellent paint adhesion , making the appearance of the torch richer in color, more flexible in shape, and more comfortable to hold.

At present, Cathay Biotech’s similar bio-based polyamide materials have been successfully used in core components of automotive powertrains for well-known domestic car companies, packaging films produced by world-renowned film manufacturers, and internal components of internationally renowned brands of mobile phones, kitchenware, etc. . In addition, Cathay bio-based polyamide materials can also provide different products for users in industries such as automobiles and rail components, electronic and electrical appliances, daily consumer goods, applied industrial products, new energy equipment, green buildings, lightweight transportation and other industries. Performance requirements, provide personalized customization services for bio-based products, and help more companies achieve a low-carbon and sustainable future.
Green “fire” delivery
Three years ago, China made a solemn commitment to the world: carbon dioxide emissions will strive to peak before 2030 and strive to achieve carbon neutrality before 2060. my country’s renewable energy installed capacity has historically exceeded coal power; it provides 50% of wind power equipment and 80% of photovoltaic module equipment to the world; the production and sales of new energy vehicles have ranked first in the world for 8 consecutive years… With the “double carbon” work as a guide, my country continues to promote green and low-carbon transformation of production methods and lifestyles.
The low-carbon concept under the “double carbon” action runs through the entire preparation process of the Hangzhou Asian Games. From venues, water and electricity supply, transportation facilities, activities and events, etc., everything embodies the concept of green, low-carbon and sustainable.
Since its establishment, Cathay Biotechnology has taken “reshaping human low-carbon life with bio-intelligent manufacturing” as its vision and is committed to becoming a pioneer in the synthetic biology industry. Sustainable development is a vital core competition for Cathay Biotech from products to business operations. One of the forces.
In this Asian Games, starting from the “fire”, bio-intelligent manufacturing of new materials will bring more possibilities for low-carbon life. We will work with upstream and downstream partners in the industry chain to jointly develop low-carbon products, build a low-carbon life, and shape a sustainable future. Sustain the future!
