Why are large plastic housings preferably manufactured using thermoforming?

Contemporary people’s two major appearance-related anxieties are facial sagging and hair loss.

Industry Spotlight | Core Tracks of Future Industries for the 15th Five-Year Plan: Bio-Manufacturing

Simply put, biomanufacturing is an advanced production paradigm that fundamentally disrupts traditional fossil-fuel-based industries—instead of relying on non-renewable resources such as petroleum and coal, it employs living biological systems—including microorganisms, cells, and enzymes—as “living factories” to produce the products we need.

Countdown to the Implementation of the Ecological Environment Code! PLA Materials Take the Lead, Opening Up a Brand-New Growth Opportunity for the Plastics Industry

As the world’s first comprehensive codex in the field of ecological and environmental protection, the “Ecological and Environmental Code of the People’s Republic of China” will officially enter into force on August 15, 2026—leaving only 43 days until its implementation. With policy benefits now fully unleashed, China’s plastics industry has definitively moved away from its previous lenient development model, and regulatory compliance has become the industry’s fundamental baseline.

The EU’s “package of policies” is being rapidly implemented, and bio-based textiles are no longer just an “environmental narrative.”

When “low-carbon” shifts from a slogan to a tax bill, and “traceability” evolves from a marketing advantage into a mandatory entry requirement—the global textile industry stands at a regulatory-driven watershed moment.

[Industry Insights] Advancing Circular Packaging in Europe: PLA, the PPWR, and the Road Ahead

The European packaging industry is entering a critical transformation phase. With mounting pressure for climate governance, continuously rising consumer demand for environmental sustainability, and the formal introduction of the EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), circular use of packaging is no longer an optional strategic direction—it has become a mandatory legal requirement across the entire industry.

Discussion | The National Standard for Polylactic Acid (PLA) Removes the “Volatile Substances” Parameter and Introduces a New “Lactide” Specification—Is This an “Upgrade” or an “Additional Burden”?

Enterprises engaged in the production, processing, and modification of polylactic acid (PLA) are already well familiar with the national standard GB/T 29284. Following the official implementation of GB/T 29284-2024, the “volatile matter content” item from the 2012 edition has been directly removed and replaced by a new control parameter: “lactide content ≤ 0.5%.”

Expert Interpretation | Academician Deng Zixin: A Small Step in Original Innovation in Bio-Manufacturing Could Be a Giant Leap for Industrial Development

What Exactly Can Biomanufacturing Change?

Biodegradable agricultural mulch film

This paper systematically elaborates on the polymer material requirements for biodegradable agricultural mulch films, the rationale behind material selection, the necessity and methods of material modification, application case studies, and the achieved performance objectives. It clarifies the technical feasibility and practical value of these films by integrating industry standards with field-based implementation experience.
