On May 7, Xinjiang Wangjing Long New Materials Co., Ltd. and Hualu Engineering Technology Co., Ltd. held a signing ceremony for the overall design contract of the PBAT production project with an annual capacity of 1.2 million tons in the Shangku Industrial Park, marking the official launch of the overall design work for this project. The project is located in the Petroleum and Petrochemical Industrial Park of the Shangku High-Tech Zone in Korla City, Bayingolin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang. The main facilities of the project include: a PBAT production plant with an annual output of 1.3 million tons (of which the initial phase involves an annual output of 100,000 tons of PBAT, with two additional plants capable of producing 600,000 tons each per year); an ethylene glycol production plant with an annual output of 400,000 tons, using the second-generation high-pressure carbonylation technology developed in Shanghai; a oxamide production plant with an annual output of 500,000 tons – a type of pollution-free slow-release fertilizer; a POM (polyoxymethylene) production plant with an annual output of 200,000 tons; as well as facilities for hydrogen energy production.

Guo Shezeng, chairman of Xinjiang Wangjing Long New Materials Co., Ltd., said that this signing ceremony will accelerate the overall design and preliminary design of the project, ensuring that the overall design is completed by September 2020. The project covers an area of 3,875 mu, with a total investment of around 30 billion yuan. Upon completion, it is expected to generate an annual output value of 33 billion yuan and profits and taxes of about 9 billion yuan, while creating more than 3,000 new jobs.
PBAT is a thermoplastic biodegradable plastic; it is a copolymer of butylene adipate and butylene terephthalate, combining the properties of PBA and PBT. It possesses good ductility and elongation at break, as well as excellent heat resistance and impact strength； Furthermore, it possesses excellent biodegradability, making it one of the most actively researched and commercially viable biodegradable materials in the field of biodegradable plastics today. Chinese name: Polyhexanedioic acid/butylene terephthalate; English name: Poly (butyleneadipate-co-terephthalate); Abbreviation: PBAT
Properties: PBAT is a semicrystalline polymer; its crystallization temperature is around 110°C, the melting point is approximately 130°C, and its density ranges from 1.18 g/ml to 1.3 g/ml. The crystallinity of PBAT is around 30%, and its Shore hardness is above 85. PBAT is an aliphatic and aromatic copolymer that combines the excellent degradation properties of aliphatic polyesters with the good mechanical properties of aromatic polyesters. The processing properties of PBAT are very similar to those of LDPE, and it can be blown into films using LDPE processing equipment.

On the evening of March 16, Ruifeng High-Performance Materials announced that it plans to invest up to 320 million yuan in building a facility capable of producing 60,000 tons per year of PBAT biodegradable plastic, thereby entering the promising market for biodegradable plastics. It is reported that the construction period for this project is 15 months, with completion and operation expected by the end of June 2021. The company states that once the project is put into operation, it will enable an expansion of the company’s production capacity, help optimize its product portfolio, foster new sources of growth, and enhance the company’s overall strength. Due to the widespread use of single-use plastic products, \"white pollution\" has become a global environmental issue. Many countries and regions around the world are also continuously improving laws and regulations aimed at restricting or banning plastics, in line with their own circumstances. Our country introduced measures to restrict plastic use in 2007, launched pilot programs to ban plastics in provinces and cities such as Jilin in 2015, and established **standards for biodegradable agricultural films in 2018. On January 19 this year, the **National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued the \"Opinions on Further Strengthening the Control of Plastic Pollution,\" which stipulate that by the end of 2020, China will first ban or restrict the production, sale, and use of certain plastic products in specific regions and sectors. By the end of 2022, consumption of single-use plastic products is expected to decline significantly, with alternative products being promoted. ”The introduction of these policies has created a historic opportunity for the development of biodegradable plastics. Regarding the project to be established for the production of 60,000 tons per year of PBAT biodegradable plastic, the company stated that PBAT is a type of thermoplastic biodegradable plastic, and it is one of the most actively researched and widely used biodegradable materials in the current market. Through independent research and development as well as technical collaborations, the company’s research centers have not only mastered the relevant technologies but have also successfully completed pilot-scale tests; the performance of the PBAT biodegradable plastic products produced meets international advanced standards.
What are the raw materials used to produce PBTA? Such devices are rarely built in the mainland; could it be that the raw materials are specialty products from Xinjiang? Is it coal tar again? They’re going to harm Xinjiang’s beautiful environment again.
Biodegradable plastics are mainly used in agriculture, right? Film is used extensively in agriculture in Xinjiang; it can serve as a substitute and is also environmentally friendly
Supermarkets, markets, restaurants, delivery services, and packaging also make extensive use of it
