I Am the President of the University

"Plastic restriction order?" A question mark appeared on Chen Hao's head, and his brows wrinkled slightly, "Didn't this thing be mentioned a long time ago?"

In his memory, this thing seemed to have been proposed a long time ago. How could it be implemented after New Year's Day next year?

However, the success rate was only 25%, which gave him a headache.

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

"This thing has been proposed 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 of our country 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 Solidly Promoting Plastic Pollution Control." This time the country is serious. "

"Is it very strict?" Chen Hao really didn't pay attention to this. After all, he had not been in the country for eight years.

"Pretty strict!"

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

After hearing what Chen Chong said, Chen Hao also realized that the country was serious this time. But it seems that there are many new regulations to be implemented in January next year? In addition to this plastic restriction order, the Civil Code, the "divorce cooling-off period", and the exemption of purchase tax for new energy vehicles must be officially 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 replaceable environmentally friendly materials, right?" Chen Hao expressed his doubts.

You can’t make much money on this kind of environmentally friendly material.

Chen Hao felt that there was no need to focus scientific research on this, and it was better to study some high-precision technologies.

Seemingly seeing the principal's contempt, Chen Chong smiled bitterly and asked a question that Chen Hao had not expected.

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

"I've had it before." There are many milk tea brands in Ludao, whether they are chain brand milk teas or some Internet celebrity milk teas. The last time Chen Hao drank milk tea was at He Xiangdong's store on Cat Street.

By the way, how is Lao He doing now?

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

In a flash, it has been almost four months since I returned to Ludao from Beautiful Country.

Chen Hao looked a little dazed. The past four months were neither long nor short.

"Principal? Are you okay?" Chen Chong looked at Chen Hao's dazed look and was confused for a moment. Did the milk tea remind the principal of some sad memories?

"I'm fine, keep talking about what's wrong with the milk tea." Chen Hao said after coming back to his senses.

Although he didn't understand what the principal was thinking just now, Chen Chong didn't think anything about it. He continued the previous topic and said: "The food and beverage industry will be most affected by this enhanced plastic restriction order, especially the milk tea industry. Impact!"

"A very big impact? Is it on the straw? I remember that there are paper straws that can be replaced?" Chen Hao remembered 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 paper straws.

Chen Chong shook his head and said: "It is very inconvenient to use paper straws. The best degradable material to replace plastic straws is straws."

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

Polylactic acid, also known as polylactide, is a polyester polymer polymerized with 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 many problems. They tend to become soft after being soaked for a long time, have an odor, and are difficult to open. So in terms of straw material, the best alternative is straws, but the cost is higher than paper straws."

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

The straws with the best replacement performance are around 1.3 to 1.5 cents.

Although straws are the best to use, their shortcomings are also obvious, that is, the cost is too high.

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

He believed that what Chen Chong said was not to tell him that the cost of the milk tea shop had increased.

Whether the cost of the milk tea shop increases or decreases, it doesn't matter to him half a cent, and he doesn't care.

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

"Are the technical barriers high?" Chen Hao frowned.

Chen Chong's response put a cloud of dust in Chen Hao's heart.

"Technical barriers are high!" There are two preparation methods, namely lactide ring-opening polymerization and direct condensation polymerization. The lactide ring-opening polymerization is widely used in industry. But the synthesis and purification of lactide are "At present, the core technologies and difficulties in the process flow, including harsh reaction conditions, complex processes, high technical requirements, and high production costs, are the main technical barriers for domestic enterprises to expand their production capacity and can only rely on imports."

Chen Hao was really shocked when he heard this.

A small straw contains such high technical barriers.

To put it simply, the production of the best straws to replace plastic straws currently requires the raw material polylactic acid, and polylactic acid requires the production of lactide.

The key point is this lactide...

The production technology of lactide is very demanding. At present, domestic enterprises lag far behind foreign countries and can only rely on imports.

A few years ago, a ballpoint pen or a lighter could not be independently produced domestically and had to be imported.

But after so many years, Chen Hao still thought that China lagged behind foreign countries only in high-tech fields such as science and technology.

Unexpectedly, a small straw stumped China, which has a population of 1.4 billion.

This is also a realistic feedback... Domestic technology is limited by foreign countries in many aspects. It is far behind in technology research and development, and the road to independent research and development is still long.

Chen Hao looked at Chen Chong, "So what are your thoughts?"

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

Chen Chong looked firmly and said very seriously: "Principal, I want to start a research project on lactide production, open up the entire industrial chain of lactic acid, lactide, and polylactic acid, and achieve localization!"

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

ps: Please give me monthly votes and recommendation votes!

I spent a whole night searching for information on chips, mobile phones, and this material. The information was hard to find. I’m really sorry for wasting time!

There is one more chapter.
