Biodegradable new materials industry-Construction of 15 degradable plastic projects in Hezhou, Guangxi

HCM Machinery calcium carbonate production line equipment factory learned that the construction of 15 degradable plastic projects in Guangxi Hezhou released nearly 4 million tons of production capacity from the whole industry chain of raw materials, modified materials and finished products. China's waste plastic production is large, recycling ratio is low, white pollution problem is serious. Plastic is one of the most important materials in the modern chemical industry, but the waste plastic products after use have the characteristics of large quantity, wide distribution, and difficult to recycle, forming the "white pollution" problem that is of great concern to the world. Not only pollute the environment, endanger health, but also occupy valuable land resources.

In recent years, with the implementation of the national "plastic ban", a degradable new material industry using calcium carbonate as a modified filler has been spawned. Relying on comparative advantages such as resource endowment and industrial foundation, Hezhou has introduced the whole industrial chain of degradable new materials to form a complete, controllable industrial chain and supply chain with sufficient circulation space for high-end calcium carbonate production. In Pinggui District of Hezhou City, the construction of the first phase of the whole industry chain of degradable new materials is underway, and strive to achieve the goal of putting into production within the year. After the completion of the project, more than 1 million tons of heavy calcium carbonate powder, degradable plastic masterbatch and other products can be put into the market every year, with an output value of more than 2 billion yuan. Phase I project construction has started, in addition to the comprehensive utilization of solid waste, we will also move the innovation center to Hezhou, research and development of degradable new material technology, the establishment of 'ore mining - calcium carbonate powder - degradable plastic masterbatch - degradable plastic products - comprehensive utilization of solid waste' degradable new material green cycle ecological industry chain.

The growth of degradable plastics is broad, and the main downstream demand exceeds one million tons

The permeability of degradable plastics is significantly driven by policies, and the downstream application field has a huge space to expand. Before 2019, the production and sales of biodegradable plastics in China grew relatively slowly. Since the introduction of the "plastic ban" and the dual-carbon policy in 2020, the production and sales of biodegradable plastics in China have increased significantly, and the output and sales in 2021 are 300.2 tons and 276,000 tons, respectively, with a growth rate of more than 20%. With the deepening of the "plastic ban", China's demand for biodegradable plastics has a broad space for growth. According to the data of the China Business Industry Research Institute, in 2021, the sales revenue of biodegradable plastic products in China accounted for the highest proportion of disposable shopping bags, accounting for 71.3%. This was followed by disposable tableware and express packaging, accounting for 21.5% and 4.8%, respectively. The policy-driven effect is significant. With the continuous replacement of degradable plastics in the above application areas, the acceptance of degradable plastics in society continues to increase, and the future of degradable plastics is expected to achieve penetration in more downstream areas.

Calcium carbonate industry is the traditional advantage industry of Hezhou City, and the main position of Guangxi calcium carbonate industry of 100 billion yuan. HCM Machinery calcium carbonate production line equipment has served a number of Hezhou calcium carbonate enterprises, Hongcheng vertical mill, ultra-fine vertical mill quality stability, production capacity, low power consumption, perfect and comprehensive after-sales service, has been highly recognized by Hezhou calcium carbonate enterprises.
