Degradable polyester materials: degradable polyester materials are a class of biodegradable polymer materials, which can be gradually decomposed into small molecules in the natural environment or through the enzymatic hydrolysis of organisms, and eventually absorbed by organisms or discharged from the body. This kind of material has a wide application prospect in the medical field because of its good biocompatibility, degradability and processing performance.

On September 23, the National Development and Reform Commission held a special press conference to introduce the overall progress of large-scale equipment updates and consumer goods for new policies. At the meeting, Chenxin Zhao, a member of the Party group and deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, revealed that the China Resources Recycling Group is under preparation. This is the first official disclosure of the progress of the establishment of the resource recycling Group at the official level. After the news, the A-share steel plate changed in the afternoon, and Zhongnan shares quickly pulled up the limit.

Polypropylene, a polymer of propylene by addition polymerization reaction, is a thermoplastic synthetic resin with excellent properties. It is a colorless semi-transparent thermoplastic lightweight general purpose plastic.

With the rapid development of electronic information technology, the problem of waste pollution caused by electronic products has also begun to attract more and more attention. In this context, in the face of regulatory requirements, resource scarcity, raw material price growth and other challenges, more and more enterprises began to integrate the concept of circular economy into their strategic development, such as Gree, Haier and other household appliances and technology brands have been widely used in recycled plastics. In addition, many companies are also accelerating into the field of recycled plastics.

Since the 1980s, PET as an engineering plastic has made breakthrough progress, and continued to develop nucleating agents and crystallization promoters, PET and PBT together as thermoplastic polyester, become one of the five major engineering plastics (PA PC POM PBT PPO).

PET plastic is the abbreviation for Polyethylene terephthalate in English, abbreviated as PET. As a small variety in the plastic classification, what are its properties? What are the application areas?

In September 2024, the price index of recycled plastic pellets in China was 759.6 points, a year-on-year decrease of 1.9% and a month on month decrease of 1.2%.

Modified plastics are materials with uniform appearance obtained by filling, toughening, strengthening, blending, alloying and other technical means with primary form resin as the main component and additives or other resins that can improve the mechanical, rheological, combustion, electrical, thermal, optical, magnetic and other aspects of performance. According to the modified function, the modified plastics include flame retardant resins, reinforced and toughened resins, plastic alloys, functional color masterclasses, etc. Each type can be further subdivided according to different materials, and due to their respective performance differences, the application field is also different.

Which recycling companies do discarded plastic lunch boxes go to? In which provinces are these plastic recycling enterprises located? On September 26, at the 19th China International Plastic Recycling Conference, with the official release of the plastic recycling information interactive platform and the plastic lunch box recycling map, China's plastic recycling industry not only has the first intuitive panorama of plastic lunch box recycling, but also lays the foundation for the transparency and traceability of recycled plastic lunch boxes.
