Bio based materials are materials made from biomass or monomer containing biomass. The production process is green, environmentally friendly, degradable and recyclable. It can effectively reduce the consumption of petroleum resources and protect the ecological environment. It is a new material developed by the state. It has important strategic significance to seize the commanding heights of international competition in the future and build a strong manufacturing nation.

Anhui Fengyuan Group has always adhered to the development of Bio Industry, focusing on building bio chemical industry, biological medicine and biological new material industry, and is a leading enterprise in the industry. Chairman of Anhui Fengyuan Group Co., Ltd. Li Rong Jie Over the past 20 years, Fengyuan Group has vigorously developed bio chemical and biological materials industry, and has developed industry-leading strain technology, fermentation technology, separation and extraction technology, which fundamentally solves the cost and performance problems of polylactic acid materials. It is the only enterprise in the whole industry chain that can produce polylactic acid chips and polylactic acid downstream fiber products and polyester products with corn and other food crops or straw cellulose as raw materials.

In terms of price, about 2 tons of corn produce 1 tons of polylactic acid. When the price of raw materials such as corn and potato is about 2000 yuan / ton, the cost of polylactic acid can compete with the corresponding plastic and chemical fibers of 40~50 US dollars / barrel oil. About 3 tons of straw can produce 1 tons of polylactic acid and 0.6 tons of high quality lignin. When the factory purchases corn stalks and straw stalks for 600~700 yuan / ton, the cost of polylactic acid can compete with 50~60 / barrel oil corresponding to plastic and chemical fiber. As far as performance is concerned, polylactic acid is renewable, and its products can be completely degraded. It has affinity, safety, bacteriostasis, inflammability and excellent processability. It can be widely used in making shirts, underwear, sportswear, home textiles and sanitary materials.

For downstream applications of polylactic acid, representatives from downstream enterprises such as long Fu ring, Puyang Yurun and Hainan sixth space have made statements. Among them, long Fu ring can cooperate with Fengyuan Group to develop polylactic acid carpets and other products, and work closely with Guangdong textile import and export company, cheerful home textiles and other trade and application enterprises, and strengthen the industrial chain of polylactic acid. The cooperation between Puyang Yurun and Fengyuan Group has made significant progress in the application of polylactic acid fiber in the field of clothing, such as polylactic acid T-shirts, underwear, bedding, socks and other products, and 60% of polylactic acid fiber and 40% Tencel made garments as Fengyuan Group's tooling. Hainan sixth space has already put polylactic acid plastic bags on the market, and through the new business mode, polylactic acid materials have been well promoted.

Deputy secretary and mayor of Bengbu Municipal Committee Wang Cheng To speed up the development of the new material industry is the need for Bengbu to take off in the new era. At present, Bengbu is focusing on two wheel drive of silicon based and biologically based new materials, creating a "double billion" industrial cluster, building a world-class new material industry base, and making every effort to create "the city of innovation, the capital of materials". In terms of bio based materials, relying on Fengyuan Group, Bengbu aims to build the largest polylactic acid industrial park in China, and plans to promote bio based new material industry to 100 billion scale in 3~5 years. It is estimated that in 8~10 years, the bio based new material industry cluster will reach 5~6 trillion yuan. At the same time, Bengbu launched the "lead" promotion, and the first to introduce the "implementation of bio based biodegradable plastic products to prevent white pollution" in the province. According to the principle of "overall planning and implementation step by step," the 4 stages of work objectives were put forward. By the end of December 2020, the disposable non degradable plastic products could be replaced completely, and the "Bengbu model" was popularized before the European Union banned plastic products and created bio based new materials.

In response, Fengyuan Group responded positively to the call of the Bengbu municipal government to create the "city of innovation, the capital of materials". In the 2019-2020 year, it will invest about 11 billion yuan to build 1 million 500 thousand tons / year lactic acid, 1 million tons / year polylactic acid, 500 thousand tons / year sheet and membrane materials, etc. in 2021-2025 years, it will carry out the global layout, build tens of millions of tons of polylactic acid and its processing industry, and promote the development of 5~6 trillion yuan industrial cluster of textile, clothing, home textile and industrial plastics in the lower reaches.

Chief engineer of Heng Tian fiber group Wang Le Jun In the report on the development trend and Prospect of China's bio based materials, it is pointed out that at present, Lyocell, bamboo pulp fiber, hemp pulp fiber, PTT fiber, PLA fiber, polyethylene terephthalate (PDT) fiber and protein composite fiber, chitosan fiber, alginate fiber and other bio based fibers have basically achieved industrialization and large-scale production. In addition, he introduced the development of polylactic acid materials from polylactic acid materials, polymerization and spinning technology, polylactic acid differential fiber technology, heat resistant continuous polylactic acid and its sheet preparation technology, preparation and recycling technology of polylactic acid bottle tablets, and compared the main domestic and foreign enterprises and their technical routes for the sale of polylactic acid fibers. Among them, lactide ring opening polymerization melt direct spinning has independent intellectual property rights in China, with low cost (about 300 yuan / ton) and good melt quality. For future development, he thinks that we should develop differential fiber, widen the application fields, improve the capability of single line, continuously reduce investment cost and operation cost, and gradually form the product evaluation system and brand operation system. From the perspective of the whole industry chain, we should pay attention to R & D, control core technology, and transform from factor driven growth to innovation driven growth as soon as possible.

Vice president of Tianjin University of Science and Technology Cheng Bo Wen We believe that the development of polylactic acid industry has a long way to go. On the one hand, we must further strengthen basic research through the cooperation of industry, University and research. On the other hand, we should take market as the guide, broaden the application area of polylactic acid, and enhance the added value of polylactic acid products.

Vice president, Research Institute, Donghua University Hua Ping Wang Three suggestions are put forward: first, to solve the problem of pain from the policy point, including the establishment of the evaluation system of polylactic acid, the formulation of standards, the measurement of carbon emissions and the measurement of social responsibilities; two, the intelligent upgrading of production equipment; three, the industrial growth with the demand of terminal, and the accurate docking of accurate demand.

Deputy director, China International Consulting Engineering Co., Ltd. You Hua Le It is pointed out that under the situation of increasingly serious environmental pressures, it is particularly important to find materials that can replace plastic based products, while bio based polylactic acid materials are ideal alternatives. The bio based polylactic acid materials developed by Fengyuan Group can achieve their advantages in terms of performance and cost, which will play an important role in promoting the development of polylactic acid industry. At the same time, Fengyuan Group has also made many attempts to promote the application of polylactic acid. In the future, we hope to promote the environmentally friendly and safe polylactic acid products with the help of new business models.

Vice president of China Chemical Fiber Industry Association He Yan Li Polylactic acid fiber is a very promising biological based fiber. Fengyuan Group has made great contributions to the development of polylactic acid fiber through opening up the whole industrial chain from lactic acid, polylactic acid to fiber and clothing, especially developing straw cellulose as raw material of polylactic acid, widening the raw material area of polylactic acid, and further enhancing the competitiveness of polylactic acid fiber. She also said that the development of polylactic acid industry should be patient and meticulous in layout, taking into account all aspects of technology, cost, quality, intellectual property rights and brand promotion, so as to maintain the high quality development of the industry.

Vice chairman of the China Textile Federation Management Association Ling Zhi Zhi It said that Fengyuan Group, relying on government support, relying on production, teaching and research, and fully combining market demand, with brand as its support, has continuously promoted products to downstream enterprises such as red beans and mercury home textiles, and has effectively promoted the application of polylactic acid fiber in clothing, home textiles and other fields. However, in the aspects of spinning speed, noil reuse and dyeing temperature, we still need to tackle key technical problems, and further enhance brand promotion and personnel training.

Academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering Jiang Shicheng It is considered that polylactic acid is a good biological product, and has good application prospects in plastics and fiber. After years of research and development, polylactic acid (PLA) has been formed in the scale of 10000 tons, and polylactic acid filament and staple have been commercialization. The products have entered the market, and the application of the latter is also in progress. However, the scale and industrialization of polylactic acid are not enough compared with chemical fiber products. In addition, compared with polyester fiber with high cost performance and high market acceptance, polylactic acid fiber has advantages, such as poor temperature tolerance, poor dyeing and so on. It should not be ignored in the field of technology, engineering, equipment and so on, and the market acceptance should also be improved. Therefore, when we need to consider the cost and market acceptance, we can lower the target first and make the basic work solid. When the demand for products and the market really accept, we will proceed to the goal of million tons.

Director, Department of raw materials industry, Ministry of industry and information technology Wang Wei From the point of view of environment, energy and ecological security, it is necessary and urgent to develop bio based materials industry. In particular, to speed up the supply of biomass resources in some fields, we should solve the problem of "no material available", "bad use of materials" and "good material not to use" for the development of bio based new material industry. He said that in the future, we should better play the role of policy synergy, pay attention to the relationship between policies, give play to the leading role of standards, do well in the work of industry standards and patent protection, give full play to the role of experts, guide the popularization and application of bio based materials, and promote the coordinated development of the whole industry chain.

Former chairman of China Federation of textile industry Wang Tian Kai Pointed out that the development of polylactic acid industry has three sentences: "the direction needs not be questioned, there are many problems, but the prospect is very promising." It reviewed the three important stages of the development of textile industry in the past 70 years, and three important points: first, the prominent advantages of the socialist system; two, the reform and opening up, which led the market to play a leading role in the allocation of resources; three, a group of outstanding enterprisers, concentrating their efforts on the main industry and promoting the development of the industry; and combining with the actual situation of the development of polylactic acid industry, put forward three expectations: first, enterprises should have confidence; two, the government should give full support to it, and strengthen policy guidance; three, it is to gather multiple forces and resources and jointly push forward the development of the industry, especially in the process of industrial chain cooperation, the development of terminal products should be solid and stand up to the test of the terminal.
