He-plastic composite materials can help achieve carbon neutrality and have broad market development potential in the future.

Hexaplastic composite (HPC) is a type of fibrous high-filling material obtained by compound modification of proprietary mixing equipment using herbal plants such as straw, straw, reeds, and thermoplastic resins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride as raw materials. composite materials. As a new type of wood-like material, He-plastic composite materials have the dual advantages of wood and plastic. The development of He-plastic composite material industry can not only improve the utilization rate of agricultural and forestry solid waste, but also achieve sustainable development of wood and help carbon neutrality and carbon reduction. Peak.

The raw materials of He-Plastic composite materials come from a wide range of sources and have excellent performance. Compared with wood-plastic composite materials, the production cost of He-Plastic composite materials is lower. In recent years, as environmental protection supervision has become increasingly strict, while the production scale of my country’s plastic composite industry has expanded, its application fields have also expanded, involving furniture and building materials, packaging products, outdoor products, automotive interiors, logistics pallets, transportation facilities, etc. Multiple areas.

According to the “2021-2026 China Hexaplastic Composite Materials Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center , He-plastic composite materials market has broad development space. On the one hand, He-plastic composite materials can gradually replace wood and achieve sustainable development of wood. In 2020, my country’s wood consumption will be about 800 million cubic meters, of which nearly 70% of the wood will rely on imports. . On the other hand, straw-plastic composite materials can improve the utilization rate of agricultural solid waste and solve the problem of straw burning. my country is a large agricultural country. With the increase in annual food production, straw production has also continued to increase, and it has reached 1 billion tons/year at this stage.

As a low-carbon material, He-Plastic composite material has the dual functions of reducing carbon and absorbing carbon. The annual production of 100,000 tons of He-Plastic material with a straw content of 70% will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 130,000 tons per year. Under the strategic goals of carbon neutrality and carbon peaking, the market development prospects of He-plastic composite materials are good.

Enterprises and institutions in my country engaged in the research and production of He-plastic composite materials include the Ningbo Institute of Materials, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Jilin Hedi Technology Co., Ltd. Jilin Hedi Technology is a new company established in 2020 by researcher Zhu Jin of the Ningbo Institute of Materials, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Weifang Yunding New Material Technology Co., Ltd. Currently, the company has 9 production lines, and the annual production capacity of Hedi materials is about 40,000 tons. The company and Linyi Chengfa Group jointly develops high-tech projects focusing on straw plastic materials. It plans to complete the construction within three years with an annual output of 500,000 tons of straw plastic materials and products. The first phase of the project will complete the annual production of 100,000 tons of straw plastic materials and products. The manufacturing scale is expected to be fully put into production in 2022.

Industry analysts said that as a low-carbon material, He-plastic composite materials have rich sources of raw materials and a wide range of applications. The development of the plastic composite material industry can not only improve the utilization rate of agricultural solid waste and solve the problem of straw burning, but also achieve sustainable development of wood and contribute to carbon neutrality. In the future, as environmental protection supervision becomes increasingly strict and market recognition increases, the market for He-plastic composite materials will have broad room for development.
