A few days ago, the Development and Reform Commission of Shandong Province announced the list of pilot projects for the construction of leading zones for green, low-carbon, and high-quality development in Shandong Province. Dawn Group was included in the list of enterprise pilot projects, and the city where Dawn is located, Longkou City, was selected into the list of comprehensive regional pilot innovation leaders.

According to information, the construction of a leading zone for green, low-carbon, and high-quality development in Shandong is the first strategic layout in China with the theme of green, low-carbon, and high-quality development since the Party Central Committee proposed the 'carbon neutrality and emission peak' goals, and the first major strategic mission assigned to Shandong by the national development document since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

As one of the top 500 private enterprises in China, Dawn Group has always adhered to the business philosophy of "product-rooted, people-oriented, technology-led, and customer-first" for more than 30 years, forming four major advantages in scientific research, industry, parks, and talents, and has developed into a modern enterprise group focusing on the research and development, polymerization, production, sales and application of new materials, integrating science, industry, trade, logistics and finance.

The Longkou Dawn New Materials Science and Technology Industrial Park, constructed and managed by Dawn Group, serves as the core platform for the development of strategic emerging industries. In 2002, Dawn Group undertook the "National Coal Mine Subsidence Land Reclamation Demonstration Project" and invested heavily to transform the former coal mine subsidence that used to be littered with garbage, sewage flowed across the ground, overgrown with weeds into an ecological economic park with many factories, clear lakes, greenery, and beautiful environment.

Restoring natural ecology, establishing industrial ecology, and achieving the integrated development of "two ecologies." Over the years, Dawn Group has adhered to the operational principles of "Make the industrial park more refined, develop wholly-owned enterprises well, unite joint ventures well, and serve foreign-funded enterprises well", followed the principles of "Suitable for Industry, Commerce, Residence, and Recreation, Beautification, Greening, Brightening and Purification), formed a development pattern characterized of “ two parks linkage, six districts in one”, accelerated the construction of product chains, corporate chains, and industrial chains, and created a multi-billion-dollar industrial agglomeration area and an ecological industrial park.

Relying on the Longkou Dawn New Materials Science and Technology Industrial Park, Dawn Group has been consistently making efforts in green manufacturing. Dawn Titanium Industry Co., Ltd. and Dawn Polymer, the national high-tech enterprises under Dawn Group, have successively been national-level green factory demonstration enterprises. The titanium dioxide produced by Dawn Titanium Company has been selected as a national green design product. TPV, the core product developed by Dawn Polymer, as a "green" polymer material, effectively solves the problems of "black pollution" and "difficulty in recycling" in the traditional rubber industry. Its preparation technology won the second prize of the National Technology Invention Award.

Creating environmentally friendly materials, boldly becoming a pioneer in the "carbon" journey. Now, Dawn Group is establishing the degradable industrial chain. It has the largest single-set capacity for degradable material (PBAT) synthesis in China. The product replaces traditional non-degradable materials such as PE, PP, PVC, effectively addressing the issue of "white pollution." Biodegradable plastic bags downstream of the industrial chain are mainly composed of PLA, PBAT and starch. In addition to being able to decompose into water and carbon dioxide and not causing a burden on the environment, they are also safe and renewable.

From subsided land to a modernized park, from chain development to industrial concentration, from new materials to green, low-carbon, and high-end. It can be said that green and low-carbon development is the distinct theme underlying Dawn's high-quality development.

In the future, taking the opportunity of being selected as a pilot zone for the green, low-carbon, and high-quality development, Dawn Group will continue to build industrial chains, product chains, and enterprise chains that generate synergy between industries, interconnect products between products, and empower development between enterprises, promote the deep conversion of new and old driving forces, take multiple measures to ensure that various pilot projects achieve effective results, and contribute more "Dawn Power" to the construction of a green, low-carbon and high-quality development pilot area in Shandong Province.
