Give praise and encouragement to the achievements made in China’s chemical technology and equipment sector; your participation in discussions is the greatest encouragement. **********************【Ten Years of Progress in Chemical Equipment】Regular updates and summaries are available – feel free to join the discussions: https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html ***************** At 4 p.m. on July 11, the Guangdong Provincial News Office held a press conference regarding the 200,000-ton/year demonstration project for the comprehensive recycling of mixed plastic waste at Dongyue Chemical in Jieyang, Guangdong. It is reported that this morning, Guangdong Jieyang Dongyue Chemical’s world’s first industrial-scale facility for the deep pyrolysis of 200,000 tons per year of mixed plastic waste successfully commenced trial production. At the meeting, the Jieyang Municipal Party Committee explained that this project utilizes a chemically cyclic process technology that is world-first, as well as the world’s first set of integrated equipment. Through deep catalytic cracking, it converts low-value mixed plastic waste into high-value chemical raw materials in just one step, thereby effectively addressing the problem of plastic waste pollution and enabling high-value recycling. As this technology is further promoted and applied, it is also expected to help reduce China’s dependence on imported crude oil, contributing Guangdong’s insights and China’s solutions to the development of a green circular economy. Wang Shaole said that going forward, Jieyang will use this as a starting point and focus on three aspects – strengthening the industry chain, extending it, and filling in its gaps – in order to turn Jieyang into the world’s first industrial base for plastic chemical recycling, thereby further enhancing the advantages of Jieyang’s green petrochemical industry in terms of high-quality development. Use scale to strengthen the industrial chains and accelerate the implementation and construction of Phase II and Phase III projects. Building on the success of this project, plans are in place to launch phases 2 and 3 with a capacity of 3 million tons per year, involving an estimated total investment of around 20 billion yuan. Among them, the preparatory work for the 1.2 million tons per year project in Phase 2 has already begun, with efforts being made to include it in the **petrochemical industry development plan as soon as possible so that construction can start at an early date. To address the issue of raw material supply for the project, efforts are being made to establish a waste plastic sorting and recycling network jointly between the various counties (districts) in Jieyang and Dongyue Chemical. The business environment will be continuously improved, with comprehensive support provided at every stage and for all aspects, to ensure that project construction proceeds more swiftly, with higher quality and greater efficiency. Promote the extension of industrial chains through clustering to accelerate the development of plastic chemical recycling industry clusters. The end products of the chemical pyrolysis of plastics are high-value basic chemical raw materials, with broad market application prospects. The focus will be on the local utilization and conversion of end products; efforts will be made to establish partnerships with well-known domestic and international chemical companies that possess the necessary technology and capabilities. Targeted investment promotion within the industrial chain will be carried out, with the aim of creating a comprehensive plastic chemistry recycling industry cluster that spans from waste plastics to chemical raw materials and further to their advanced processing, thereby injecting new momentum into Jieyang’s green petrochemical industry. As always, we will provide sincere and high-quality services, reduce costs through tangible efforts, and support businesses with dedication, in order to create the best conditions for the development of new industrial clusters. Promote \"chain supplementation\" through innovation to accelerate the establishment of a scientific and technological innovation system for the chemical new materials industry. Technological innovation is the core driving force behind the sustainable development of industries. Last May, Jieyang City, in collaboration with institutions such as China University of Petroleum and Dongyue Chemical, established the Jieyang New Materials Industry Technology Research Institute in the Jieyang High-Tech Zone, aiming to create a platform for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in the field of chemical new materials in Jieyang City. Leveraging this high-level innovation platform, efforts will be made to foster deep cooperation among governments, enterprises, and academic institutions, as well as between industry, academia, and research institutions, in order to advance research on key core technologies and facilitate the transformation of those innovations into practical applications.
