plastics industry: How Guangzhou Plastics Industry Group leads the wave of green and low-carbon transformation

in the context of accelerating the global "double carbon" goal, the traditional plastics industry is facing unprecedented pressure of transformation and upgrading. As one of the oldest and largest state-owned plastics manufacturing enterprises in South China, Guangzhou Plastics Industry Group Co., Ltd. (Guangzhou Plastic Industrial Group Co., Ltd.) promotes the green transformation of the entire industry chain with systematic thinking and becomes a low-carbon development of my country's plastics industry Benchmark practitioner.

In recent years, Guangzhou Plastics Industry Group has fully launched the "Green Smart 2025" strategy, invested more than 0.32 billion yuan to build an intelligent green factory, introduced a full closed-loop water circulation system, waste heat recovery device and photovoltaic roof power generation facilities, and reduced carbon dioxide emissions by 18000 tons annually. Its subordinate Guangzhou Plastics Research Institute has simultaneously carried out research on bio-based degradable materials, and successfully developed a new composite material modified by blending bagasse fiber and polylactic acid (PLA), which has passed the certification of GB/T 19277.1-2011 compost degradation standard, and has realized large-scale application in fresh trays, express buffer lining and other scenes.

At the level of circular economy, the Group built the first regional collaborative disposal center for plastic renewable resources in Guangdong Province in 2023, covering 11 cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, with an annual processing capacity of more than 120000 tons of waste plastics and a qualified rate of 99.3 per cent of recycled particles. At the same time, joint GAC Aian, Midea Group and other head enterprises to build a 'Green Supply Chain Partnership Plan', the implementation of traceable recycled material identification system and carbon footprint accounting module, to promote upstream raw material procurement and downstream product design two-way low-carbon collaboration.

noteworthy that Guangzhou Plastics Industry Group has also actively participated in the formulation of national and industry standards, led the preparation of the "Guidelines for Carbon Emission Accounting for Plastic Products Manufacturers" group standards, and joined the China Plastics Processing Industry Association as the only local state-owned enterprise representative. Committee. Group Chairman Li Mingyuan said: 'Plastics is not the problem itself, extensive production and inefficient recycling is the crux of the problem. Our mission is to make every gram of plastic carry sustainable value. '

Facing the future, the Group is accelerating the layout of high-end subdivision tracks such as electronic-grade special plastics and medical high-barrier packaging films, and simultaneously promoting the construction of digital energy management platform and AI-driven process optimization system, striving to reshape the ecological justice and technical dignity of the plastics industry while ensuring the safety of the national supply of basic materials.
