China: Bamboo-based composite materials included in the national "14th Five-Year Plan" for bio-economic development
Bamboo-based composite materials industry is again supported by the central policy. The National Development and Reform Commission issued the "14th Five-Year Plan" for the development of the bio-economy. The plan proposes to cultivate and grow the pillar industries of bio-economy, promote the development of bamboo-based composite materials technology, and promote its demonstration application in the construction of urban comprehensive pipelines and other infrastructure.
Bamboo-based composite material is a new bio-based material with bamboo as the basic raw material, pioneered by Zhejiang Xinzhou Bamboo Composite Technology Company in the mid-2000s, which has excellent cost performance and can save energy and reduce carbon emissions. Bamboo-based composite pipes, pipe corridors, integrated modular housing, military products, high-speed rail carriages and other products processed from this material can be widely used in transportation, municipal, water conservancy, construction, military and other industries.
Relevant experts suggest that the national level should increase the research and development of bamboo-based composites, improve the quality and efficiency of existing bamboo-based composites, and continuously develop new products of bamboo-based composites to expand the scale. Application areas. The aim is to encourage state-owned enterprises to participate in the industrialization of bamboo pipes and corridors through government-led projects, and to carry out large-scale demonstration applications.
