Happy New Year 2024 **********************【Ten Years of Rapid Development in Chemical Processing Equipment】A continuously updated summary post is available; feel free to join the discussions at https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html (Source: Haichuan Chemical Industry Forum) ***************** Recently, Chuanwei Chemical Company successfully registered under the international EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) system and issued the world’s first EPD statement for high-strength, high-modulus fibers. EPD is one of the environmental labels issued by the International Organization for Standardization ISO. EPD reports are widely used around the world and enjoy high international recognition and authority; they aim to disclose the environmental impact of a product throughout its entire life cycle. The foreign trade revenue from Sichuan Wei Chemical products accounts for over 20% of the total sales revenue. The high-strength, high-modulus fibers produced by the company are used as alternatives to asbestos and are widely applied in industries such as aerospace, automobile manufacturing, construction, and textiles. Chuanwei Chemical uses EPD assessment standards to conduct a comprehensive and objective environmental impact evaluation of its high-strength, high-modulus fiber products. This evaluation covers all stages of the product’s life cycle, including the acquisition of raw materials, manufacturing, transportation and sales, as well as use and disposal, and it quantifies key factors such as carbon emissions, energy consumption, and water usage. Currently, countries such as Germany, France, the United States, and Japan have carried out EPD verification. In the building materials sector, an increasing number of international buyers consider EPD registration to be a requirement for suppliers to bid, serving as an important advantage for products seeking to enter the EU market. The export of high-strength and high-modulus fiber products produced by Chuanwei Chemical in 2023 increased by 12.7% compared to the previous year, demonstrating their acceptance in overseas markets. The successful registration of this product and the issuance of an EPD statement indicate that it possesses an internationally recognized \"green identity.\" It provides consumers and purchasers with transparent environmental information regarding the product, based on multi-stakeholder involvement and verification, thereby meeting customers’ needs related to sustainable development. This plays a positive role in helping to overcome international green trade barriers and gain more market share overseas.
