Although domestic polycarbonate production capacity has increased substantially in recent years, the production growth has been limited.

Urgently in need of normative guidanceUrgently in need of normative guidance

In the next few years, China's polycarbonate production capacity will show a blowout growth, which will promote the rapid development of the industry.

In addition, with the continuous advancement of the plastic circular economy, the voice of "plastic ban" is constantly rising, and the sustainable development of the polycarbonate industry is also facing new challenges.

Industry insiders suggest that the polycarbonate industry as a whole needs benign guidance and regulation, and it is imperative to prevent excessively low-level and low-quality production capacity.

From a corporate perspective, leading companies should take precautions.
On the one hand, they should improve the physical recycling capabilities of materials themselves and strive to achieve closed loops ; on the other hand, invest a lot of technical force and research and development funds to commit to chemical recycling methods to solve the problems that physical recycling is difficult to solve problem.
