"Plastic Restriction Order?" A question mark appeared on Chen Hao's head, his brows frowned slightly, "Isn't this thing mentioned early?"

In his memory, this thing seems to have been proposed long ago, how can it be implemented after New Year's Day next year.

However, this success rate is only 25%, which makes him a little headache.

However, the problem of success rate may be the problem of existing team ability.

"I proposed this thing a long time ago." Chen Chong nodded, and then explained to Chen Hao, "As early as January 2008, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Notice on Restricting the Production and Sales of Plastic Shopping Bags." , Was implemented in June of that year, but the effect was limited.

But this time is different. This time, nine departments including the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly issued the "Notice on Solid Promotion of Plastic Pollution Control". This time the country is serious. "

"Is it strict?" Chen Hao really didn't pay attention to this, after all, he hadn't been in China for eight years.

"Quite strict!"

Chen Chong looked serious. "This "Notice" stipulates that from January next year, the production and sale of disposable plastic cotton swabs and disposable foamed plastic tableware is prohibited nationwide; the catering industry across the country prohibits the use of non-degradable disposable plastic straws."

Hearing what Chen Chong said, Chen Hao also realized that the country is serious this time. But it seems that there are a lot of new regulations to be implemented in January next year? In addition to this plastic restriction order, there are also the Civil Code, the "cooling-off period for divorce," and the exemption of purchase tax on new energy vehicles, etc., which must be formally implemented.

But what does this plastic restriction order have to do with schools?

"Since the plastic restriction order is to be implemented, there should be alternative environmentally friendly materials?" Chen Hao said his question.

This kind of environmentally friendly materials does not make much money.

Chen Hao feels that there is no need to focus scientific research on this, it is better to study some high-tech technologies.

Seeing the principal's contempt, Chen Chong gave a wry smile and asked a question that Chen Hao hadn't expected.

"Principal, you should have had milk tea, right?"

"Did it." There are many brands of milk tea here in Ludao, whether it is chain brand milk tea or some net celebrity milk tea. Chen Hao drank milk tea last time at the He Xiangdong store on Cat Street.

By the way, how is Lao Ho now?

Because of milk tea, Chen Hao suddenly remembered Lao He. He has contributed a lot to the defeat of Tianma Electronics Li Zhiguo.

In a flash, it has been almost four months since I returned to Ludao from the beautiful country.

Chen Hao looked a little dazed. The four months said it was not long, and it was not short.

"Principal? Are you okay?" Chen Chong looked at Chen Hao in a daze, and was puzzled for a while. Does the milk tea remind the principal of something sad?

"I'm fine, you continue to talk about the milk tea." Chen Hao regained his senses and said.

Although he didn't understand what the principal was thinking, Chen Chong didn't feel anything about this. He continued on the topic before saying: "This time the enhanced plastic restriction order will be most affected by the food and beverage industry, especially the milk tea industry. Impact!"

"Very big impact? Is it on the straws, do I remember that there are paper straws to replace?" Chen Hao, but remember that straws are not just plastic straws, but also paper straws.

When I went to Starbucks to drink Frappuccino a few days ago, I used a paper straw.

Chen Chong shook his head and said: "Paper straws are very inconvenient to use. The best biodegradable material to replace plastic straws is straws."

"Straw? Polylactic acid?" Although Chen Hao studied computers, there was still this aspect in the knowledge base stored in his brain.

Polylactic acid, also known as polylactide, is a polyester polymer obtained by polymerization of lactic acid as the main raw material. It is a new type of biodegradable material.

"Yes, it's polylactic acid."

Chen Chong explained: “Paper straws have more problems. They are easy to soften, smelly, and difficult to poke open for a long time. So in terms of straw material, the best alternative is the straw, but the cost is higher than that of paper straws.”

In the market, the price of an ordinary plastic (pp) straw is 2 to 3 cents, and the price of a paper straw is 8 to 9 cents, which is three or four times higher.

The best substitute for straws is around 1 hair 3 to 1 hair 5.

Although the straw is the best to use, the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the cost is too high.

Chen Hao did not speak, but looked at Chen Chong.

He believes that Chen Chong's saying so much is not telling him that the cost of the milk tea shop has risen.

The increase or decrease in the cost of the milk tea shop has nothing to do with him, and he does not care.

Feeling Chen Hao's gaze, Chen Chong said in a deep voice: "The production of straws requires raw material polylactic acid. The raw material synthesis technology is difficult. The market share has long been occupied by foreign companies such as NatureWorks, Cobien-Pluck. According to the data I found. At present, the global production capacity of polylactic acid is only one million tons, and the effective domestic production capacity of polylactic acid is only 142,000 tons, but it still needs to be imported.

"Is the technical barrier high?" Chen Hao frowned.

Chen Chong's response made Chen Hao a cloud of dust.

"High technical barriers! There are two methods for preparation, namely lactide ring-opening polymerization method and direct polycondensation method. The industry widely used lactide ring-opening polymerization method. However, the synthesis and purification of lactide is currently The core technologies and difficulties in the process flow, such as harsh reaction conditions, complex processes, high technical requirements, and high production costs ~www.wuxiahere.com~ are the main technical barriers to domestic enterprises' capacity expansion, and they can only rely on imports."

Hearing this, Chen Hao was really surprised.

A small straw has such a high technical barrier.

To put it simply, the production of straws, which is the best alternative to plastic straws, requires raw material polylactic acid, and polylactic acid needs to produce lactide.

The point is this lactide...

The production technology requirements of this lactide are very high. At present, domestic enterprises are far behind foreign countries and can only rely on imports.

A few years ago, neither a ballpoint pen nor a lighter could be produced independently in China and needed to be imported.

But after so many years, Chen Hao thought that what lags behind abroad is only in high-tech fields such as science and technology.

Unexpectedly, a small straw would stump Huaxia, which has a population of 1.4 billion.

This is also a realistic feedback... Many domestic technologies are limited by foreign countries, and technological research and development are far behind, and the road to independent research and development is still very long.

Chen Hao looked at Chen Chong, "So what do you think?"

"Principal, I think our country needs to realize independent research and development not only in the field of chips, but also in the production of lactide, but also in localization!"

Chen Chong had a firm vision and said very seriously: "Principal, I want to start the research on lactide production, open up the entire industrial chain of lactic acid, lactide, and polylactic acid, and realize the localization!"

"Our country must stand up not only in terms of economic aggregates, but also in all walks of life! What foreign countries can do, we can do it in China!"

ps: Ask for monthly ticket, ask for recommended ticket!

I checked the information all night, the chip, mobile phone, and this material, the information is difficult to find, it was too late, I'm really sorry!
