August 2, 2021-Lotte Chemical, a large Korean chemical company, uses BASF's Irgastab® (a non-discoloring plastic processing stabilizer) to produce medical polypropylene (PP). With the global new crown vaccination work in full swing, the demand for syringes has also increased exponentially, and medical grade polypropylene (PP) is the raw material for manufacturing syringes.
In June of this year, Carbios, L'Oréal, Nestlé, Pepsi and Suntory jointly announced that they have successfully produced the world's first food-grade PET plastic bottle using waste plastic as a raw material by using Carbios' enzymatic PET recycling technology.

1-Octene is an important linear olefin, often used as a polyethylene comonomer and as a raw material for the production of plasticizers, surfactants and synthetic lubricants. 1-octene is used as a comonomer to produce polyethylene with excellent performance and high added value.
The "Technical Roadmap for Energy-saving and New Energy Vehicle Development" points out that in 2020, 2025, and 2030, the weight of a bicycle needs to be reduced by 10%, 20%, and 35% respectively compared with 2015.
In the copolymer of ethylene and higher α-olefin, when the content of the higher α-olefin in the copolymer is relatively high, it is a semi-crystalline, low modulus polymer. The copolymer of ethylene and higher α-olefin plays a role of physical crosslinking through the crystallization of the polyethylene segment, thereby exhibiting the behavior of a thermoplastic elastomer.
