Guangning County, Zhaoqing, is known as the "Hometown of Bamboo in China". It has a history of more than 2,000 years of bamboo resource development and utilization, and has gradually created an industry chain of bamboo planting, production, research and development, sales, storage and transportation, and ecological health and wellness tourism.

With the global trend of "bamboo replacing plastic", the bamboo industry market potential is considerable, and a number of technologically innovative bamboo companies in Guangning have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain. Guangning is seizing the trend of technological innovation and promoting resource advantages into high-quality development advantages.

Accelerate “Bamboo Replacement of Plastic”

Large-scale and intensive production

The bamboo forest area in Guangning County is about 1.08 million acres, of which the green bamboo area is about 780,000 acres. It is the central green bamboo production area in the country. Due to the characteristics of the material, this category has long been used to produce low value-added products such as incense candle wicks and bamboo sticks. Upgrading and transforming the green bamboo industry is an integral part of innovative development.

Jin Chunde, an academician of the International Academy of Wood Sciences, believes: "Guangning should make good use of the chemical properties of green bamboo, work hard on new material products, research and develop new products such as using bamboo instead of plastic, using bamboo instead of steel, and produce high-added products in a low-carbon way. value-for-money products that benefit farmers and people.”


The traditional bamboo processing and production demonstration base in Gushui Town is one of the important positions for Guangning to explore "replacing plastic with bamboo". By constructing a 17,000-square-meter standardized factory building, the base will build a traditional bamboo processing demonstration production line, a bamboo-based plastic production workshop, a bamboo product trading platform and other functional places. After reaching the standard, the annual output value will be approximately 150 million yuan.

"The current project is in the preliminary research and development stage, and we will continue to increase the bamboo content of the product and improve the degradability." Yang Shikun, the person in charge of the company, said that thanks to the support of the municipal and county party committee governments and relevant departments, the project is expected to complete research and development by the end of 2024 and start Trial production.




New technology bamboo companies are rushing to settle in,

Leading bamboo companies are continuing to make efforts and seize the market.

At the end of 2019, Guangdong Haipeng Bamboo Fiber New Material Technology Co., Ltd. settled in the new bamboo industry demonstration park in Guangning County. Relying on bamboo R&D teams such as South China Agricultural University, the company mainly develops bamboo plastic flooring and bamboo vinegar.


Among them, bamboo plastic panels are made of wood-plastic composite materials using green bark bamboo powder as raw materials, and their comprehensive cost performance is much higher than that of traditional materials. The one-step wood-plastic composite extrusion production line developed by the company has independent intellectual property rights and is a high value-added green project for comprehensive utilization of bamboo.


At present, Haipeng Company's green leather bamboo powder, bamboo vinegar liquid, and bamboo-plastic composite material (bamboo fiber flooring) production lines using bamboo powder as raw materials are put into production. The annual output of green bamboo powdered industrial raw materials reaches 1,200 yuan per ton; the annual output of 3,000 tons of bamboo-plastic composite materials reaches 7,000 yuan per ton; the annual output value of the above production lines is expected to be 48.6 million yuan after reaching the standard. .


The relevant person in charge of Guangning County said that Guangning will also actively apply for a national-level forestry industry demonstration park, accelerate the large-scale and intensive production of "bamboo-replacing plastic" products, encourage the development of a circular economy in the bamboo industry, and promote an industrial model of full bamboo utilization.





The power of science and technology promotes industrial transformation and upgrading


Over the past 30 years, Guangning's bamboo processing technology has entered the CNC era, and all aspects of bamboo breaking, cutting, drawing, and sharpening have been automated. Nowadays, a new deep-processing industry led by composite materials has emerged. Companies have increased investment in scientific research and accelerated product transformation and upgrading.

Guangdong Dingfeng Paper Co., Ltd. is one of the best. The company's R&D team is led by professor-level doctors and has more than 70 full-time and part-time R&D personnel. It invests more than 20 million yuan in R&D and innovation every year.

Dingfeng Paper has been working hard for many years and through technological innovation, it has increased the bamboo content of paper from 10% to 30%. "Bamboo fiber is slender and flexible. When paired with wood, it can improve the paper strength of paper pulp." Wang Zaimei, manager of the company's R&D center, said that on this basis, the team developed a new toilet paper product made of bamboo-wood mixed pulp. The product feels softer and has a wider range of applications. It can be used in infant paper, which greatly increases the added value of paper products.

As a natural plant fiber raw material, bamboo fiber has the characteristics of high strength, light weight, excellent toughness, and degradability. It is an important new environmentally friendly and green modern industrial raw material.


Guangning Bamboo Enterprise Guangdong Yufeng Bamboo Fiber Company took the lead in developing the bamboo fiber products industry using green bamboo as raw material, achieving an annual bamboo fiber output of 5,000 tons. At present, the main products of Yufeng Company are bamboo raw fiber, spinnable fiber and lightweight composite materials, which are used to replace sisal and coconut palm silk to produce various cushion cores or used in clothing textiles, automobile interior materials, etc., making bamboo additional The value has increased significantly and has broad application prospects.




While technological power continues to increase,

Guangning’s supporting services are also being comprehensively upgraded.

Recently, the Guangning County Bamboo Export Quarantine and Fumigation Center was inaugurated and the bamboo primary processing service base started construction. It will solve the export inspection problems for bamboo processing enterprises and promote the county's bamboo products to the international market.

The relevant person in charge of Guangning County said, "Opening the 'fumigation point' to the doorstep will completely solve the problem of high fumigation costs and long time for bamboo and wood enterprises to ship out, and reduce the operating costs of enterprises; by setting up a service window for the import and export trade of bamboo products, we will provide better services for bamboo." Processing enterprises directly respond to overseas transactions to increase the added value of traditional products and provide supporting services." The construction of a primary bamboo processing base is to open up bamboo purchase and sales channels in major bamboo production areas, improve the utilization rate of bamboo resources, and at the same time solve the fragmentation in the traditional bamboo industry processing. , environmental protection, fire protection and other issues.


In recent years, Guangning has accelerated the transformation and upgrading of the local bamboo industry, and has successively built the Guangning Bamboo Experimental Demonstration Base, Breeding and Cultivation Base, and Processing Utilization Base of the National Forestry and Grassland Administration Bamboo Research and Development Center, the Guangning Base of the International Forestry Science and Technology Training Center, and the Guangdong Green Bamboo Engineering Technology Research Center, etc., and has established scientific research and innovation cooperation relationships with scientific research institutions such as the Chinese Academy of Forestry Sciences, the International Bamboo and Rattan Center, Zhejiang A&F University, and the Provincial Academy of Forestry Sciences.
