    【Chemical machinery and equipment network industry dynamics】In recent days, I believe that most people's eyes have focused on one thing - the Qatar World Cup
    .
    Yes, the quadrennial football feast has been grandly opened
    in Qatar, a country rich country in the Middle East.
    On November 22, the topic of the "Argentina vs Saudi Arabia" match was even more explosive, and related topics such as "Saudi goalkeeper", "Saudi Arabia made offside", "Messi's first goal" and other related topics continued to dominate the hot search
    on major platforms.

     
    That is to say, the Qatar World Cup, which cost more than 220 billion US dollars, can be regarded as really proud, and various environmental protection and new material application highlights inside and outside the arena are frequent
    .
    Regardless of the record, Chinese elements such as "Made in Yiwu", "Chinese Referee", "Giant Panda Messenger", and "China Infrastructure" are also deeply involved in
    another way.
    Today, let's talk about what other "careful thoughts" are worth paying attention to in the Qatar World Cup!
     
    Football – made of polyurethane
     
    Football World Cup, football World Cup, then the official match ball of course pay attention to
    .
    You know, a small football manufacturing, from leather, inner tank to sewing technology, requires more than a dozen processes
    .
    The official match ball for the Qatar World Cup is called "Journey" and is jointly released
    by FIFA and Adidas.
    The surface of the sphere is made of textured polyurethane spherical material called SPEEDSHELL, which consists of 20 SPEEDSHELL modules, while adopting a triangular shape and bent design to reduce the drag coefficient
    of the football running in the air.
    In terms of manufacturing process, the modules on the surface of the "Journey" are bonded together by thermal bonding technology, and it is the first World Cup ball
    to use water-based paint and water-based adhesives completely.

     
    Jerseys – made of eco-friendly recycled materials
     
    It is understood that the pattern of the "three big people" of this World Cup jersey is still continued
    .
    The home and away jerseys for the German, Argentine, Spanish, Mexican and Japanese national teams are all supplied by Adidas and are made from recycled polyester with 50% Parley Ocean Plastic, sourced from remote islands, beaches, coastal areas and coastlines
    .
    In September, Nike released the 2022 World Cup jersey, and 13 teams will compete in Nike's Dri-Fit ADV jersey, which is also made of 100% renewable polyester
    .
    The PUMA World Cup jersey is made of ULTRAWEAVE, which has a base weight of only 72 grams and achieves extreme weight
    reduction through a thin fabric that is mechanically stretched in four directions.

     
    Coca-Cola – 100% rPET bottle
     
    Looking at the drinking side, Coca-Cola Middle East plans to provide Coca-Cola drinks
    in 100% rPET packaging in stadiums and fan areas during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
    This is also the first time that the rPET bottle will be used in circulation at the FIFA World Cup, which will cover 350ml of Coca-Cola, Sprite and Fanta and 500ml of Arwa purified water
    .
    At the World Cup venue, Coca-Cola also placed special recycling bins, and the plastic bottles separated and collected during the competition will be recycled and converted into rPET bottles in Qatar, effectively closing the loop
    .

     
    Stadium – folded PTFE sheet
     
    The Qatar World Cup event will be held in eight venues, one of which is the AI Janoub Stadium, one of the eight stadiums, with a roofed with folded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) sheets and cables, with the controllable folding roof being its biggest highlight
    .
    When the roof is unfolded, it covers the pitch like a sail, providing shade and creating a cool environment
    for the game in Qatar's hot climate.

     
    Commemorative banknotes – printed on plastic substrates
     
    On November 9, 2022, the Central Bank of Qatar announced information about
    commemorative banknotes issued for the 2022 World Cup.
    The commemorative banknote, with a face value of 22 rials, coincides with the 22nd World Cup held in 2022, is the Polymer plastic banknote, the 66th Polymer plastic banknote
    issued worldwide.
    It is reported that the plastic substrate used in the banknote is the British money printing company - Safeguard substrate of De La Rue, which is one of
    the two banknote printing enterprises in the world that can independently develop and mass-produce plastic substrates.
    In addition, the Lusail Stadium, which was fully participated by CRCC, was also printed on
    the special edition commemorative banknote of the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

     
    The logo of this World Cup resembles the infinity symbol "∞", symbolizing the infinite possibilities
    brought by football.
    In fact, this also represents that environmentally friendly new materials are "molding" infinite possibilities
    in large-scale international competitions.
    In general, this World Cup integrates new technologies, new materials and new energy, and Qatar has released the slogan
    of striving to become the first "carbon neutral" World Cup.
    At present, the event is still in full swing, and we look forward to more good shows in the future!
