At the 2024 ICIS Innovation Awards, Wanhua Chemical Group has been recognized as a finalist for two innovative solutions: Re-generated Polyether Polyol from Recycled Polyurethane Rigid Foam (Product Innovation Award) and the Hehai Heat Integration Project (Process Innovation Award). These achievements underscore Wanhua Chemical's leadership in sustainable development and its commitment to environmental stewardship.
Re-generated Polyether Polyol from Recycled Polyurethane Rigid Foam
Wanhua Chemical has pioneered a cutting-edge technology to recycle polyurethane rigid foam waste from discarded refrigerators and freezers. The process efficiently recovers and purifies the foam, achieving 100% degradation and regeneration, with the recycled polyether polyol offering performance equivalent to petroleum-based alternatives. This innovation not only delivers high-quality recycled materials but also supports the industry’s shift towards more sustainable practices. Each ton of recycled foam prevents the emission of 3 tons of CO2, significantly reducing the environmental impact.
Wanhua Chemical - Hehai Heat Integration Project
This project focuses on converting low-grade industrial waste heat into high-grade heat sources to provide clean energy for residential and industrial use. Since its launch in late 2023, the project has provided coal-free heating for 10 million square meters of residential buildings in Yantai. Once fully operational, it will expand to cover 76 million square meters and reduce CO2 emissions by 2.86 million tons annually, showcasing Wanhua Chemical’s substantial contribution to reducing carbon emissions and improving air quality.
These finalist nominations highlight Wanhua Chemical’s technological expertise and reinforce its commitment to driving global sustainability. Moving forward, Wanhua will continue to innovate and lead the way in advancing sustainable solutions for the chemical industry.
