Global environmental problems are becoming increasingly severe, and more and more customers are factoring in the impact of materials on the environment in their procurement decisions.

In addition, the prevention of marine plastic waste pollution, the protection of marine biodiversity, and the use of OBP in turning low-value plastic waste into high-quality plastic, making the best use of plastic, will have far-reaching significance in achieving peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality goals.
