Background: For a long time, the Pearl River Delta has been a key hub for China’s home appliance industry, boasting significant cluster advantages and numerous leading brands in this sector. In particular, Shunde in Foshan was awarded the title of “Capital of Home Appliances in China” by the China National Light Industry Council and the China Home Appliance Association. It can be said that Shunde is not only the largest production base in China for air conditioners, refrigerators, water heaters, and dishwashers, but it is also the world’s largest supplier of rice cookers and microwave ovens. Shunde has over 3,000 home appliance manufacturing enterprises and component-related companies of a certain scale. In 2015, the output value of the home appliance manufacturing industry reached 244.67 billion yuan, accounting for 38.9% of the total output value of industries of that scale, with a year-on-year increase of 9.5%. The local supply rate for the home appliance industry cluster reaches 80%, placing it at the leading level in the industry. Modified plastics are playing an increasingly important role in electrical appliances. Light weight, antibacterial properties, convenience, aesthetics, comfort, environmental friendliness, and safety have become the future trends for materials used in home appliances. Innovative applications of materials are a key factor in upgrading home appliance products ； When it comes to home appliances worldwide, Shunde is a key player – it encompasses the entire home appliance industry chain. The event on the innovative use of modified plastics in home appliances held in Shunde aims to create a platform for communication between different stakeholders in this industry, thereby promoting its development.
