Degradable food packaging materials towards a green future, Sunward's new corporate plan

    At the first Yangtze River Delta Packaging Industry Digital Transformation and High-quality Development Summit held in Hangzhou on September 5, 2024, Mr. Fu Wenguang, General manager of Shanghai Sunward Industrial Co., Ltd. delivered a special report speech entitled "Degradable Food Packaging Materials towards a Green Future".

   In his speech, Mr. Fu Wenguang discussed how in the context of the global ecological challenge of white pollution, Sunward Industrial Co., LTD., relying on foreign advanced degradable material technology, and through the joint efforts of domestic and foreign experts, successfully produced plastic materials that can fully biodegrade in the natural environment.

    In the speech, the company's main products were mentioned: fully biodegradable polyolefin (POF) heat shrink film under natural environment, fully biodegradable polyethylene (PE) film under natural environment, fully biodegradable BOPP film under natural environment, fully biodegradable PE wrap film under natural environment, fully biodegradable straw and cup. This technology maintains biodegradable properties while maintaining its physical and mechanical properties intact. Passed SGS and GCE degradation test report. GBT22047-2008 and ISO17556-2003 PAS9017 degradation standards. Ecotoxicity meets OECD208 222 211 standards. It is the leader and perfect substitute of similar products at this stage. At the same time, Mr. Fu Wenguang also demonstrated through pictures and data that Sunward's completely biodegradable plastic materials eventually decompose only into water and carbon dioxide, demonstrating Sunward's determination and achievements in promoting the transformation of packaging materials to a green and sustainable direction.

    In his speech, Mr. Fu Wenguang mentioned the origin of degradable materials, as well as their degradation process in the natural environment and the minimization of ecological impact. In terms of plastic pollution control, China has taken a series of actions, such as the establishment of a special working mechanism for plastic pollution control, the holding of a national television and telephone conference on plastic pollution control, as well as in the field of e-commerce, express delivery, takeout management, etc., these actions reflect China's efforts and effectiveness in plastic pollution control.

In terms of food packaging materials, the research and application of degradable materials has become a hot direction, which not only has no damage to the ecological environment, but also can bring economic and social benefits. The application of Sunward's full biodegradation technology also marks that degradable materials will also enter a new stage of development.

In summary, Mr. Fu Wenguang's speech and the efforts of Sunway Industrial Co., Ltd. are a microcosm of the current global trend of plastic pollution control and sustainable development of packaging materials. Through scientific and technological innovation and domestic and foreign cooperation, the application prospect of degradable materials is broad, and it is expected to provide an effective solution to solve the problem of plastic pollution.
