Expo Chinaplas & Wankai PET: 2024 Retrospect, 2025 Vistas

What to Anticipate at CHINAPLAS 2025 

Exhibition Highlight: Wankai's Superior PET Resin 

The Wankai brand's high-performance bottle-grade  Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) resin, a market - tested and core product, is set to be a major attraction at the 2025 exhibition. Our bottle-grade PET resin comes in a wide array of specifications, with distinct intrinsic viscosities(IV) catering to various applications. 

For example, PET resin with a lower intrinsic viscosity is perfectly tailored for manufacturing small - sized, lightweight beverage bottles like those for bottled water. It offers excellent processability during blow - molding, resulting in bottles with remarkable clarity and robust strength capable of withstanding the rigors of normal handling and transportation. 

In contrast, the PET resin with a higher intrinsic viscosity is ideal for applications such as juice and carbonated drink bottles. Its elevated viscosity imparts enhanced barrier properties, effectively preventing carbon dioxide escape in carbonated beverages and maintaining the freshness and flavor of juices over an extended period. 

Innovating for a Greener Tomorrow

Nature - sourced and Circular - flow Advancements in PET Field

At Wankai, we are focused on achieving harmony with the Earth through sustainable development in the PET resin field. Our efforts are aimed at not just meeting current demands but creating a greener future that benefits both our industry and the planet.

1. Source from Nature → Green & Low-Carbon

We are committed to driving a green transformation by incorporating a greater proportion of biomass - sourced raw materials into PET resin production. 

We are proud to announce the successful world - first ton - level trial production of PEF (polyethylene furanoate), a breakthrough material that is set to redefine PET production. As we advance toward large - scale commercial production, PEF represents a significant step toward a low - carbon, eco - friendly future. 

2. Circular Design → Return to Nature

At Wankai, sustainability isn't just about production—it's about designing products for their entire lifecycle. We are actively engaged in and setting advanced examples in the green and low - carbon recycling of PET and polyester waste, contributing to a circular economy.

Our pioneering work in semi-chemical recycling technologies and exploration of advanced chemical recycling methods will help shape the sustainable future of PET. Our focus on improving the recycling and reusability of post-consumer PET products aims to preserve natural resources and support ecological balance for the generations to come.

Green-tech and Digital-smart Innovations in PET Manufacturing

1. Dual - Drive Green Production

We strive to realize green production by means of the dual driving forces of green electricity production and internal energy - saving processes. On the one hand, we increase the proportion of renewable energy use and convert production waste into power sources. On the other hand, within the factory, we are vigorously upgrading energy - saving processes.

Notably, our innovative acetaldehyde recovery project not only effectively tackles the disposal challenges of acetaldehyde, a by - product of PET production, but also channels the recycled acetaldehyde into the market. This initiative realizes a harmonious convergence of economic and environmental dividends. 

2. Digital - intelligent Production

At Wankai, 5G technology is poised to revolutionize the manufacturing of PET resin. Chongqing Wankai, one of the production bases of Wankai New Materials, runs a fully connected 5G factory. In line with the "5G + Industrial Internet" guidelines, Chongqing Wankai has realized flexible production and meticulous management.

The integration of 5G not only optimizes production processes, cuts down labor costs but also significantly enhances efficiency. Case applications such as production site monitoring, fault detection, and inspection monitoring, all enabled by new 5G - powered products, have been successfully implemented.

Reflecting on the 2024 CHINAPLAS 

The 2024 CHINAPLAS, as the preeminent international plastics and rubber exhibition, was a resounding success. It served as a vibrant global hub, drawing in businesses, professionals, and experts from every corner of the world. 

Wankai New Materials Co., Ltd. (Wankai) had a highly rewarding experience at Chinaplas 2024 held in Shanghai. The company warmly welcomed hundreds of international guests hailing from diverse continents. Through in - depth discussions and collaborative exchanges, Wankai forged strong partnerships, all aimed at achieving mutual prosperity and driving the industry forward.
