Starting from February 1, 2026, 9 national standards related to recycled plastics will be officially implemented, many of which directly involve PET materials, covering key aspects such as recyclable design, recycled plastic product quality, ingredient identification, and product evaluation. It is worth noting that the introduction of standards such as the "Guidelines for Plastic Recyclable Design Part 1: Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) Materials" (GB/T 46020.1-2025) has set unified standards for the recyclability of PET products from the source, providing technical basis for domestic enterprises to meet international environmental requirements.
 

Since 2026, international crude oil prices have continued to rise due to factors such as geopolitical conflicts, leading to a significant increase in the cost of PET core raw materials. As of April 2026, the cumulative increase in spot prices of domestic water bottle grade polyester bottle chips has exceeded 40%, and the mainstream quotation has risen from about 6300 yuan/ton at the beginning of the year to around 9000 yuan/ton. This round of price increases has been transmitted to the end consumer goods sector - beverage companies such as Wahaha and China Resources Yibao will raise the supply price of purified water from July 2026, clearly pointing the reason to the increase in PET packaging material costs. The industry estimates that PET costs generally account for 20% to 32% of beverage companies.

The 12th Asphalt Industry Development Conference, hosted by Longzhong Information, was grandly held at the Nanjing R&F Wanda Jiahua Hotel from May 12th to 14th, 2026. This industry event brings together upstream and downstream asphalt enterprises, industry experts, trade elites, and infrastructure practitioners from across the country, focusing on industry trend analysis, market supply and demand patterns, supply chain innovation, and green development directions, to discuss the new future of high-quality development of the asphalt industry. Tianjin Xinxinhe Group, as the official sponsor of this conference, was invited to attend and deeply participate in industry exchanges as a backbone of the industry, demonstrating corporate responsibility and industry influence.
