🔥A New Policy in Sichuan Provides a "Shot in the Arm" for the Green and Low-Carbon Industry— On January 9, the People's Government of Sichuan Province issued the Implementation Opinions on Promoting the High-Quality Development of Cities (hereinafter referred to as the Opinions). In advancing high-standard green development, the document sets forth specific measures, including promoting energy conservation and carbon reduction in the production sector, encouraging the adoption of green and low-carbon lifestyles (e.g., boosting the application of biodegradable plastics and other eco-friendly low-carbon products), and improving the urban ecological environment.

This is not an isolated local initiative, but rather a microcosm of the "policy-market" dual-drive model fueling China’s biodegradable plastics industry. As policy dividends keep flowing in and pressing industry pain points cry out for solutions, an innovative technology solution named "Geyu Anaerobic Biodegradation Technology" is emerging as a vital bridge linking "environmental protection needs" with "enterprise benefits".

Seeing Industry Trends from Sichuan's New Policy: Biodegradable Plastics Usher in a "Golden Age of Development"

The implementation of the Opinions is underpinned by the national strategic layout for the green and low-carbon industry. It clearly sets forth goals with two key timeframes: by 2030, the green transformation of Sichuan's cities will be further advanced, and the application system for green and low-carbon products will take initial shape; by 2035, a modern people-centered city with Sichuan characteristics will be basically built, and the urbanization rate of permanent residents will be steadily raised. As an important carrier of green lifestyles, "biodegradable plastics" are a key means to achieve these goals.

Looking across the country, the "boom period" for biodegradable plastics has come clearly into view:

Policy and Technology: The Dual Drivers Making Green Transition No Longer a Dilemma

Today, the implementation of Sichuan's new policy has opened up broader application prospects for the biodegradable plastics industry. The value of Geyu Anaerobic Biodegradation Technology lies not only in meeting policy compliance requirements, but more importantly, in enabling enterprises to profit while pursuing environmental protection. It addresses the long-standing pain points of traditional degradation technologies—high costs, limited application scenarios and difficult degradation—turning green products from a "policy mandate" into a "voluntary choice" for businesses.

From the construction of "park cities" in Sichuan to the nationwide advancement of the "dual carbon" goals, the popularization of biodegradable plastics has become an inevitable trend. Innovative solutions like Geyu ABT are emerging as the vital link bridging "policy guidance" and "market demand": they allow enterprises to embrace environmental protection without sacrificing profitability, enable consumers to choose green products without paying a premium, and most importantly, keep our cities, soil and water bodies free from the scourge of plastic pollution.

• Policy Dimension: From "Restricting Plastics" to "Strongly Promoting"Nine ministries and commissions including the Ministry of Commerce jointly issued the Implementation Opinions on Promoting Green Consumption, explicitly requiring the promotion of biodegradable materials across all links in catering, accommodation and supply chains. Moreover, GB/T 46685-2025 Technical Guidelines for Packaging of Fresh Edible Agricultural Products, which is set to take effect in May 2026, lists "prioritizing the use of easily degradable materials" as a mandatory principle, thus completely ending the era when "green packaging was optional".

• Market Dimension: Explosive Growth in ScaleData shows that the scale of China's biodegradable packaging industry reached 30.43 billion yuan in 2024, with a compound annual growth rate of 31.94%. It is projected to exceed 47.7 billion yuan in 2025 and is expected to hit 85.5 billion yuan by 2030. Recently, enterprises such as Tianyuan Co., Ltd. and Kingfa Sci. & Tech. Co., Ltd. have witnessed double growth in sales volume and stock prices, which is a clear indication of capital's confidence in the biodegradable plastics track.

• Demand Dimension: Comprehensive Penetration into ScenariosFrom the "domestic waste classification support" emphasized in Sichuan's new policy, to the "complete ban on non-degradable packaging bags" in the express delivery industry and the "over 60% coverage rate of biodegradable food containers" on food delivery platforms, biodegradable plastics are evolving from "special scenarios" to "daily necessities", covering diverse fields such as packaging, catering, agriculture and medical care.

  Industry Pain Points to Be Addressed: Why Do Traditional Degradation Technologies Win Acclaim but Fail to Gain Market Traction?

  Despite the booming trend, the biodegradable plastics industry is still confronted with "three major obstacles", making many enterprises "willing but afraid to promote related products":

• Stringent Degradation Conditions: Traditional biodegradable plastics rely on industrial composting environments with "high temperature, high humidity and high oxygen content". They barely degrade in natural scenarios like soil or underwater, which greatly undermines their actual environmental value.
• Heavy Cost Burden: The cost of most degradable materials is significantly higher than that of traditional plastics. Enterprises need to invest in new equipment and production processes, making it difficult to balance environmental benefits and economic gains during promotion.
• Unstable Performance: Some products suffer from poor heat resistance and pressure resistance, prone to damage during use. What’s worse, they may leave behind microplastics, posing risks of secondary pollution.

•  

  What’s more noteworthy is its recyclability. If the discarded products do not enter an anaerobic environment, they can be recycled through conventional recycling systems, further improving resource utilization efficiency. It perfectly aligns with the requirement of "source reduction and resource utilization of solid waste" specified in Sichuan’s policy.

• Nearly Zero Cost Increase: No need to replace existing production equipment or alter processes, with equipment investment close to zero. The overall cost is reduced by more than 50% compared with other degradable materials.
• Uncompromised Performance: It does not degrade in aerobic environments (e.g., daily use and storage), and its mechanical properties are identical to those of traditional plastics. Its heat resistance, pressure resistance and durability fully meet the needs of scenarios like packaging, catering and agriculture.
• Full Scenario Adaptability: From "household waste classification supporting products" highlighted in Sichuan’s new policy, to fresh food packaging, agricultural mulch films, medical supplies and even children’s toys, Geyu ABT covers all product categories without the need for separate R&D for different scenarios.

  These pain points have turned green transformation into a burden for many enterprises. However, Geyu Anaerobic Biodegradation Technology (ABT) truly breaks the deadlock where environmental protection and cost efficiency are pitted against each other.

  Geyu ABT: A "Degradation Revolution" in Natural Environments and a Cost-Effective Choice for Enterprises

  The ABT anaerobic biodegradation technology developed by Geyu New Materials is not a patch on traditional degradation pathways, but an innovation spanning from principles to applications. Centered on natural anaerobic environments, it enables plastics to achieve complete degradation without residues in daily scenarios such as soil, underwater and landfills.

  To put it simply: How does it make plastics "disappear"?During the production of conventional plastics, a certain proportion of "degradation formula" is added. Once the finished plastic products are discarded and enter an anaerobic environment (e.g., buried in soil or submerged in water), they will quickly attract anaerobic microorganisms in nature. The enzymes carried by these microorganisms trigger enzymatic reactions with the plastics, breaking them down. Under the action of anaerobic accelerators, these enzymatic reactions are further accelerated, which greatly shortens the degradation cycle. Eventually, the plastics are converted into methane, carbon dioxide and a small amount of mineralized inorganic salts, leaving no microplastics behind. It truly realizes the concept of "coming from nature and returning to nature".

  For enterprises, it boasts three core competitive advantages:

• Nearly Zero Cost Increase: No need to replace existing production equipment or alter processes, with equipment investment close to zero. The overall cost is reduced by more than 50% compared with other degradable materials.
• Uncompromised Performance: It does not degrade in aerobic environments (e.g., daily use and storage), and its mechanical properties are identical to those of traditional plastics. Its heat resistance, pressure resistance and durability fully meet the needs of scenarios like packaging, catering and agriculture.

• What’s more noteworthy is its recyclability. If the discarded products do not enter an anaerobic environment, they can be recycled through conventional recycling systems, further improving resource utilization efficiency. It perfectly aligns with the requirement of "source reduction and resource utilization of solid waste" specified in Sichuan’s policy.

• Full Scenario Adaptability: From "household waste classification supporting products" highlighted in Sichuan’s new policy, to fresh food packaging, agricultural mulch films, medical supplies and even children’s toys, Geyu ABT covers all product categories without the need for separate R&D for different scenarios.
