It is reported that each of us has an average weekly intake of about 5 grams of microplastics, which is equivalent to the weight of a credit card, and there are as many as 9 kinds of microplastics that can be detected in human feces. Recently, with the convening of the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference, the attention of microplastics to human health has once again been aroused, and a wind of "emission reduction and plastic removal" has also followed.
As China's first low-carbon lubricant brand to enter the United Nations, Uni-President Petrochemical was invited to participate in the keynote speech at the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference to publicly share the company's "two-sided" experience in plastic removal, which became the focus of attention of the participants. The so-called "two-sided integration" refers to the promotion of consumers' sense of fashion and the enhancement of consumers' awareness of plastic removal in the consumption processOn the other hand, it is aimed at industrial users, playing the role of energy saving and cost reduction, and accelerating the progress of plastic removal at the industrial level. According to Li Jia, CEO of Uni-President Petrochemical, plastic removal is an organic combination with the unified low-carbon lubrication strategy, which has played a positive role in promoting the overall emission reduction work.
The plasticization of Uni-President Petrochemical is to reduce the dependence on plastic packaging and plastic products through materials that can be degraded naturally and harmlessly. According to the consumer demand of the market, the unified grasp of the consumer trend based on the LCA design concept, to create a unified Himalayan series of plasticized lubrication products, the outer packaging of the series of products are made of environmentally friendly cartons, the built-in oil storage bag can be completely degraded. This innovative eco-friendly packaging effectively reduces carbon emissions by more than 70%.
According to Mr. Li of Uni-President Petrochemical, Uni-President Petrochemical Co., Ltd.'s new naked degradable barrel will also come out soon, which is made of PMU inorganic and biodegradable material composition and process, which is an environmentally friendly green ecological polymer. Tested by Eaton Laboratories in the United States, the material can be degraded after 779 days of natural anaerobic environment3%, the remaining undegraded part will continue to degrade at a steady rate until it is completely decomposed into carbon dioxide and water, and the entire degraded component will not produce any substances that have an adverse impact on the environment and ecology.
In the face of major customers in the industrial field, the plasticization solution tailored by Uni-President Petrochemical for Jiangsu World Agricultural Machinery Co., Ltd. has also passed the test of a complete agricultural cycle. The use of a large degradable liquid bag packaging method to replace the previous traditional small packaging plastic barrel product transportation, and create a complete low-carbon chain of recycling for World Agricultural Machinery.
As the first enterprise in China's petrochemical industry to achieve deplasticization in product packaging, the successful cases created by Uni-President Petrochemical once again provide a demonstration sample for the industry and lead the development of the industry.
