.
Promote key industries such as petrochemicals, non-ferrous metals, and building materials to formulate plans for cleaner production transformation and upgrading, and comprehensively promote the application of cleaner production technologies and equipment
.
Strengthen the green management of the entire life cycle of enterprises, vigorously promote green design, green technology, and green products, encourage the creation of green factories, and build a green supply chain
.

Improve the comprehensive utilization of resources
.
Focus on tailings, fly ash, red mud, smelting slag, industrial by-product gypsum, chemical waste residue, waste fiber and its composite materials, etc.
, comprehensively promote the comprehensive utilization of raw material industrial solid waste, and accelerate the realization of harmless, reduced, Resource disposal
.
Actively promote the coupled and coordinated development of petrochemical, steel, non-ferrous, building materials, electric power and other industries, and encourage the construction of comprehensive resource-based industrial bases with a leading role
.

Feng Meng, deputy director of the Department of Raw Materials Industry, said that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, together with the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments, have formulated an implementation plan for carbon peaking in petrochemical, chemical, iron and steel industries, and clarified the implementation path and specific task arrangements for carbon emission reduction in key industries.
Procedures are published one after another
.

In addition, the "Planning" also makes arrangements and deployments for cultivating and expanding the new material industry
.
Xie Bin, director of the new material division of the raw material industry department, said in response to a reporter's question that the new material industry is a strategic and basic industry, a key area of ​​high-tech competition, and is related to the overall situation of the construction of a modern economic system
.
In recent years, China's new material industry has developed vigorously, the scale of the industry has continued to grow, the compound annual growth rate of output value has exceeded 20%, and the support capacity has been continuously improved.
There are more than 100 kinds of materials such as advanced energy storage materials, photovoltaic materials, superhard materials, and new display materials.
The output ranks first in the world and has made important contributions to supporting the construction of a strong manufacturing country
.

In order to implement the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, the "Plan" proposes to improve the high-end level of raw material industry supply, and the important content of which is to cultivate and expand the new material industry
.
The development goal of the new material industry in the next five years is to make the collaborative innovation system more efficient and perfect, the innovation capability will be significantly improved, the industrial scale will continue to increase, and the proportion of the raw material industry will increase significantly; a number of key key areas of basic materials have made breakthroughs, advanced basic materials high-end Product quality stability, reliability and applicability have been significantly improved, and some cutting-edge new material varieties have achieved mass production and typical applications
.
In order to promote the realization of the goal, we will focus on the following four aspects
.

One is to improve the innovation system
.
Strengthen the carrier support of innovation platforms, optimize and reorganize state key laboratories, build national manufacturing innovation centers in key areas, national key platforms for new materials, establish industry generic technology research platforms, and new material data centers, and improve public service capabilities
.
