in the context of the acceleration of global carbon neutrality goals, China's new materials field is ushering in an unprecedented wave of innovation. As an important force in the research and development and industrialization of environmental protection polymer materials in China, Ningbo Jiaou Technology Co., Ltd. (Ningbo Jiaou Technology Co., Ltd.) recently officially released its independent research and development BioFlex™A series of bio-based biodegradable composite materials have been applied on a large scale in the three major scenarios of automotive interiors, electronic packaging and high-end consumer goods, marking a key breakthrough in the underlying technology of green materials for Chinese enterprises.

According to the company's official website and "China Chemical News" reported in July 2024, BioFlex™Using non-grain starch derivatives and modified polylactic acid (PLA) as matrix, through the original nano-crosslinking reinforcement process, while maintaining excellent mechanical properties (tensile strength up to 52 MPa, thermal deformation temperature up to 98 ℃), complete degradation is realized within 180 days under industrial composting conditions, and the degradation products have no microplastic residue, and have passed the double certification of EU EN 13432 and China GB/T 38082-2019. The material has successfully replaced traditional ABS and PP and has been applied to the central control trim panel of a new generation of electric vehicles by a German car company, reducing weight by 12% and VOC volatilization by 67%. It has won the 2024 'China Automotive Lightweight Green Innovation Award'.

Ningbo Jiaou, pointed out at the Ningbo New Materials Industry Summit: 'Environmental protection is not a performance compromise, but a system reconfiguration. Through molecular chain orientation design and dynamic cross-linking regulation, we make bio-based materials truly capable of engineering landing. 'At present, the company has built an annual output of 5000 tons of BioFlex™The intelligent production line, and with the Chinese Academy of Sciences Ningbo Institute of Materials to build a 'bio-based functional materials joint laboratory', focusing on flame retardant, antibacterial, conductive and other special modification direction. In addition, its recycled PET/bamboo fiber composite materials have also passed the secondary supplier audit of Apple's supply chain and entered the trial production stage of consumer electronics precision structural parts.

noteworthy that Ningbo Jiaou adheres to the green management of the whole life cycle -100 of the raw materials purchased come from FSC certified bamboo forest and non-GM corn producing areas. Photovoltaic direct power supply + waste heat recovery system is adopted in the production process, and the carbon footprint per unit product is 41% lower than the industry average. And jointly with Cainiao Logistics to launch the' material traceability + reverse recovery' closed-loop service, consumers scan the code to see the complete ESG path of the product from bamboo to degradation. This model has been included in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology 2024 Green Manufacturing Typical Case Library.

With the further implementation of the EU's Ecological Design for Sustainable Products (ESPR) and China's 14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Bioeconomy, environmentally friendly materials are being upgraded from 'options' to 'mandatory entry threshold '. With its solid R & D accumulation, rigorous certification system and pragmatic industrial synergy, Ningbo Jiaou has not only reshaped the technical voice of domestic environmental protection materials, but also provided replicable' material-level low-carbon solves' for China's manufacturing industry to go to sea green '. In the next three years, the company plans to BioFlex™The series of products are expanded to new tracks such as medical device trays and degradable agricultural mulch films, and continue to consolidate its industry positioning as a 'green technology pioneer.
