Editor's Note The United States, in the name of "adjusting the tariffs of trading partners", is actually practicing "indiscriminate trade bullying". Its unilateral tariff increase policy has evolved into a disorderly impact on the global industrial chain - many countries have chosen to compromise under pressure, trying to make concessions in short-term interests in exchange for easing trade disputes, and falling into a vicious cycle of "using land to serve Qin". Only China has not given up on principled issues, and with its firm stance of "counter-equal and bottom-line thinking", it has declared to the world that sovereignty and dignity cannot be traded. This is not only a positive response to bullying, but also a benchmark practice for emerging economies to maintain multilateral order in the context of globalization.   At 12:01 Beijing time on April 9, the so-called "r...

— 1 — Product characteristics: PET’s advantages are prominentFrom the product perspective, PET bottles have significant advantages in transparency and appearance. Its high transparency enables consumers to see the product clearly, enhancing its appeal. In addition, PET bottles have better design and functionality, and can meet the packaging needs of different products. For example, in the fields of food, cosmetics, condiments, etc., the lightweight and high barrier properties of PET bottles make them an ideal packaging material. In comparison, although HDPE bottles perform well in terms of weather resistance, acid, alkali and salt liquid resistance, they are slightly inferior in terms of transparency and appearance. — 2 — Equipment efficiency: PET has high production efficiency In terms of equipment, PET bottles have h...

The philosophy of plastic is a dialectical meditation on artificial permanence and natural fragility. It is both the cornerstone of modern civilization and a symbol of ecological crisis; it carries mankind’s ambition to control matter and exposes the limitations of technological rationality. In the molecular chains of plastic, there are deep paradoxes of humanity and nature, transience and eternity, creation and destruction . (Image source: earth.com) — 1 — The materiality of plastics: the man-made "second nature" The essence of plastics is the rearrangement of hydrocarbons. By cracking oil and polymerizing molecules, humans have transformed fossil energy that has been dormant underground for hundreds of millions of years into plastic polymers. This process marks the shift of humans from "using nature" to "reconstructing nature" - plastics are no longer tre...
