Recently, in order to further promote the full chain governance of plastic pollution and accelerate the development of "replacing plastic with bamboo", the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments issued the "Three Year Action Plan for Accelerating the Development of" Replacing Plastic with Bamboo ", proposing the initial establishment of the" Replacing Plastic with Bamboo "industrial system by 2025 and other action goals.
Recently, Xiniu Town has actively responded to the national initiative of "replacing plastic with bamboo", fully leveraging its own advantages and focusing on categories such as "replacing plastic with bamboo" and "replacing grain with bamboo", successfully introducing a bamboo green enterprise to create a Xiniu sample for the development of the bamboo industry and energy conservation and emission reduction.
Products using bamboo instead of plastic and grain
In the production workshop of Guangdong Zhushengsheng Technology Co., Ltd. in Jinzhu Village, Xiniu Town, workers are performing their respective duties in the production of bamboo tableware. After being processed by automated production line technology, bamboo raw materials are made into tableware with a fragrant bamboo flavor.
Guangdong Zhushengsheng Technology Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the research and development, production, and sales of new bamboo materials. It has a research and development team composed of experts from Sun Yat sen University, International Bamboo and Vine Center, Hunan University of Technology, Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and other universities. After years of technical breakthroughs, it has multiple key core technologies in the field of "replacing plastic with bamboo" and has obtained multiple national patents. The overall business development direction is towards a green and low-carbon bamboo industry chain.
Replacing Plastic with Bamboo "Natural Degradation of 93.8% in 128 Days
Replacing plastic with bamboo "refers to the process and activity of using bamboo products to replace plastic products, mainly including the complete or partial replacement of plastic products with bamboo products and bamboo based composite materials. The promotion of "replacing plastic with bamboo" is of great significance for strengthening the full chain governance of plastic pollution, promoting the realization of ecological product value, helping to achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality, and promoting the construction of a beautiful China.
Guangdong Zhushengsheng Technology Co., Ltd. landed in Jinzhu Village Industrial Park, Xiniu Town, Yingde City in August 2023 through the "Replacing Plastic with Bamboo" project. By recycling old hemp bamboo shoot tubes, shells, and bamboo that were previously discarded by bamboo farmers, the company transformed them into innovative patented formula fully degradable composite materials mainly made of renewable bamboo fibers, producing bamboo powder fully degradable disposable bamboo tableware. Through technological research and development, multiple inventions such as the "bamboo instead of plastic" new material have obtained national invention patents and have been certified by the European CE and German TUV Rheinland testing agency. They are safe and non-toxic, and can enter the EU market.
Disposable bamboo tableware
Zhushengsheng has launched disposable bamboo powder meal boxes, bamboo knives, forks, spoons, fast tea cups and other products targeting the disposable tableware market. The finished products have good sealing, waterproof and oil resistant, high temperature and odorless, microwave and oven friendly, compostable and degradable, are not easy to soften, and do not deform. Unlike traditional plastic products, these bamboo tableware use innovative patented formula fully degradable composite materials, mainly renewable bamboo fiber raw materials. The fully biodegradable materials can naturally degrade 93.8% in soil and natural environment within 128 days, greatly reducing pollution to the environment.
Disposable bamboo tableware
The company's "Replacing Plastic with Bamboo" project will be officially put into operation in October 2023, with a production capacity of about 78 million pieces per year. Currently, it is mainly sold to Indonesia and other places, and the next step will be to promote it to Guangzhou, Foshan, Hainan, Hong Kong and other places. Replacing plastic with bamboo not only directly increases the income of local bamboo shoot farmers and further increases the output value of green industries, but also effectively solves the problem of plastic pollution, making our beautiful home healthier, more sustainable, and full of green vitality.
The decomposition rate of nutrients in "replacing grain with bamboo" is over 70%
Bamboo itself is rich in biomass nutrients. By using by-products and waste materials from production lines such as "replacing plastic with bamboo" (such as bamboo juice, bamboo chips, bamboo leaf and branch powder, bamboo leaves, etc.) to be finely ground and scientifically formulated, composite bamboo juice and bamboo chips animal feed can be produced through biological reactions.
This new type of bamboo feed, which has undergone biological targeted reactions, imitates enzymes with strong bamboo fiber decomposition activity such as giant pandas, bamboo mice, bamboo worms, and herbivores such as intestinal bacteria and lactic acid bacteria. It uses synthetic biology to "digest" bamboo into nutrients, with a decomposition rate of over 70%. It can improve the metabolic disorders of animal hyperlipidemia, reduce cholesterol and triglyceride content, increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol content, and promote growth.
Products using bamboo as a substitute for grain
Yang Jianguo, the manager of Guangdong Zhushengsheng Technology Co., Ltd., introduced that "the formula of composite bamboo juice and bamboo chips animal feed is scientific, mellow and palatable, rich in biomass nutrients such as amino acids, polysaccharides, vitamins and various immune enhancing ingredients needed by animals, antibacterial and antiviral, promoting intestinal health, and producing high-quality bamboo feed. It is suitable for organic breeding of chickens, ducks, rabbits, cows, sheep and as food for pet cats and dogs. It is a high-quality bamboo feed that replaces corn and other grains. Currently, these projects are in the experimental stage
A hemp bamboo, connected to low-carbon environmental protection on one end and industrial development on the other end, activates the great wisdom of development. As the main production area of bamboo shoots in China, Xiniu Town has a planting area of 208000 mu of bamboo shoots. It has been striving to explore how to rely on bamboo resources to open the door to green prosperity, extend the bamboo industry chain, strengthen, optimize and expand the bamboo industry, and encourage more enterprises and people to participate in the practice of "replacing plastic with bamboo", jointly promoting green and sustainable development, and exploring a new path for the green and high-quality development of the bamboo industry in Xiniu.
