He expressed the hope of becoming a fellow traveler and strategic partner with leading low-carbon cycling enterprises such as Leju; the leading light stabilizers of Tiangang Auxiliary under Beijing Tiangang Group, together with Tainake's targeted nano-efficiency-enhancement functional additives, can become the key core materials for the low-carbon cycling and high-performance, low-cost development of the pallet industry, or an important option for providing high-performance pallet solutions, and provide important support for the low-carbon cycling of plastics and environmental friendliness.

Mr. Luo highlighted the latest research results for low-carbon cycling pallet materials. As the founder and renowned expert of targeted nano-efficiency-enhancement technology, Professor Luo Daoyou has long been devoted to the R&D and industrialization of polymer materials, nano materials and functional additives. He has conducted extensive comparative studies and life evaluations on current cycling-pallet materials, and successfully launched targeted efficiency-enhancement functional additives for cycling pallets, effectively achieving simultaneous reinforcement, stiffening, toughening, long-life cycling and high-value recycling of pallets. The functional additive features low dosage (2%), fast demolding, and energy saving and consumption reduction; compared with conventional pallet materials, strength and rigidity during use are improved by over 50%, toughness is doubled, color change is small, and gloss-retention is improved fourfold; it can reduce pallet weight by 20% and lower raw-material cost by over 15%; cycling pallets can achieve a service life of more than 7 years, with excellent recyclate performance and high recycling value. The development and application of this new technology will not only greatly improve material performance and product economy, but also vigorously promote the rapid development and low-carbon cycling of the pallet industry and enhance enterprise competitiveness.

Director Wang Yuan highly appreciated Shanghai Leju Technology Co., Ltd. for taking the lead in creating a new shared-pallet model and building a new ecosystem for the cycling-pallet industry chain, considering it not only an important case of eco-plastics low-carbon cycling but also a significant measure to practice the national low-carbon cycling strategy. At the same time, Director Wang Yuan fully affirmed the internationally leading technology and low-carbon cycling plastic innovation-support capability of Tiangang Group and Beijing Tainake New Materials Technology Co., Ltd., and hoped that both sides would promptly advance strategic cooperation and sign a strategic cooperation agreement, conducting joint innovation through the two-way co-construction model of the Beijing research institute and the Shanghai industrial base, accelerating the industrialization of results and achieving a strategic win-win, so as to make outstanding contributions to the national 3060 dual-carbon goals and low-carbon cycling.
