The First China Bio Based Materials Industry Development Conference Was Held In Bengbu

The rapid development of regional economy is often driven by the "fist" industry. The bio based new material industry is becoming the "fist" industry vigorously developed and supported by Bengbu, Anhui.

Biodegradable material, polylactic acid (PLA), is made from corn starch and straw cellulose. The fabric made of polylactic acid fiber has the characteristics of bacteriostatic, skin friendly and anti mites. It can be widely used in underwear, sportswear, bed products and other fields.

Recently, the first China Bio based materials industry development conference co sponsored by China International Engineering Consulting Corporation, Bengbu development and Reform Commission and Anhui Fengyuan Group was held in Bengbu, Anhui.

"In recent years, the Bengbu municipal Party committee and the municipal government have cultivated and expanded the bio based new material industry as the key starting point for industrial upgrading and strong support for high-quality development. Relying on Anhui Fengyuan Group and other key enterprises, the" innovation city, material capital "has been built. The bio based new material industry is one of the most innovative, dynamic and permeable strategic emerging industries. It has become a strategic commanding point for Bengbu to seize the opportunities for the future development of science and technology and industry and establish new competitive advantages. Wang Cheng, mayor of Bengbu, said.

The plan specifies the path of industrial development.

At the meeting, Le Youhua, deputy director of the China Petrochemical Engineering and Consulting Co., Ltd., explained the development plan of Bengbu bio based materials industry (hereinafter referred to as "planning"). The plan focuses on breakthroughs in key industrial technologies, builds a closed loop system of production, teaching and research, and integrates the upstream and downstream enterprises, implements the "three all" service concept, promotes the construction of key industrial projects, and creates an industrial layout of "one axis, one axis and four zones", and accelerates the improvement of the industrial development system, which is supported by polylactic acid, polybutylene succinate, furan polyester and plastic wood composite materials, and guides the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure and drives the development of regional economy.

According to the plan, it is estimated that by 2025, the main business income of the bio based materials industry in Bengbu will exceed 250 billion yuan, of which the PLA chain will exceed 170 billion yuan, the industrial chain scale of polybutylene succinate will exceed 17 billion yuan, the scale of the PEF chain will exceed 10 billion yuan, the plastic wood composite material industry chain will reach 5 billion yuan, and the PA56 industry chain will reach 15 billion yuan.

The plan also looks ahead to the long-term development prospects of the industry. It is estimated that by 2030, the main business income of bio based materials industry in Bengbu is expected to exceed 1 trillion yuan, and Bengbu will be built as a major base for new bio based materials in Anhui province and a leading bio based material capital in China. It is estimated that by 2035, Bengbu will rely on the overseas lactide raw material base. It is expected that the production scale of PLA will reach 10 million tons, and the main business income of the industry will reach 1 trillion yuan.

The main path of development is to enhance the capacity of polylactic acid products, and strive to build the industrial chain with "lactic acid polylactic acid application products" as the main line, and form the 5 major industrial chains that take the industrial chain of polylactic acid as the core, furan biological new materials and PA56 fiber as the supplement, and focus on assembling degradable plastic shopping bags, outer packaging materials, plastic tableware, medical materials, agricultural film, fiber and textile enterprises.

In addition, in recent years, Bengbu has actively promoted the construction of the first demonstration area of national ecological civilization, and vigorously prevented the "white pollution" caused by non degradable plastics to the ecological environment. It first took the lead in Anhui province to put forward the implementation opinions of popularizing and applying biodegradable plastic products to prevent white pollution, and formulated a series of policies and local laws and regulations, and adopted subsidies, industrial guidance funds and other methods to promote the research, production and sale of biodegradable plastic products enterprises.

Leading enterprises have obvious driving effects.

The development of "fist" industry can not be separated from the promotion of leading enterprises. Fengyuan Group, located in Bengbu, is a leading enterprise in the field of bio chemical industry in China. The company has grasped the 6 core technologies, namely lactic acid bacteria preparation, fermentation, extraction and purification, polymerization, and environmental protection fiber production. It is the only enterprise in the world that can produce polylactic acid chips, polylactic acid downstream fiber products and polyester products with corn and other food crops or straw cellulose as raw materials.

In November 8th, Fengyuan Group's 5000 tons / year lactic acid, 3000 tons / year polylactic acid industrialization demonstration line was successfully commissioned, and the first batch of polylactic acid products were downloaded. This also marks the first industrialized production line of polylactic acid industrial chain starting from glucose fermentation in China.

Jiang Shicheng, academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering, said that China's bio based materials industry should continue to promote green and high quality development in the future, constantly improve the level of industrialization, and lay a solid foundation for the sustainable development of the economy and society.

Yin Weilun, academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering, said that at present, the bio economy has highlighted important values in health, medical, agricultural, ecological and environmental protection, energy and other aspects. The scale of China's bio industry is expanding rapidly, and its contribution to economic growth continues to increase. The municipal Party committee and municipal government of Bengbu strongly support the development of biological economy, and continue to exert their strength in the biological industry. A series of important policies and measures have been promulgated, and the leading enterprises of bio economic development represented by Fengyuan Group have been cultivated, forming industrial advantages and becoming a typical demonstration of economic transformation.

"Bengbu will continue to promote research and development of key technologies, constantly optimize production technology and technology, and strive to make bio based materials industry bigger and stronger, and actively promote the rapid development of China's bio industry." Yin Weilun said.
