At the third China International Supply Chain Expo in the Chinese mainland, forward-thinking manufacturers are redefining green production.
Highlighting the expo floor is a revolutionary seawater desalination system tailored for industrial use. By tapping into abundant seawater sources, these new plants deliver fresh water to factories without straining local reserves. Companies can dial down their dependence on freshwater, while clients benefit from a more reliable supply and potential cost savings in water-intensive processes.
Another standout is a water-based barrier coating for paper cups. Unlike conventional plastic linings, this eco-friendly solution uses natural polymers to seal cups securely. The result is improved recyclability, reduced plastic waste, and compliance with increasingly tough environmental standards—all with no sacrifice in performance.
These innovations stem from a shared goal: building sustainable supply chains from end to end. Firms are responding to rising consumer demand for transparent, earth-friendly practices and preparing for tighter regulations on resource use and waste management.
Li Yiqing, a CGTN digital reporter, emphasizes that green manufacturing is essential for the future of industry—a shift powered by these eco-friendly breakthroughs.
As global pressures on water, energy, and materials grow, these pioneering solutions offer a blueprint for industries worldwide. For young entrepreneurs, tech enthusiasts, and travelers alike, they signal a new era where innovation and sustainability go hand in hand.
