Guangdong's Jieyang has launched the world's first large-scale chemical recycling plant for mixed waste plastics, initiated by Dongyue Chemical, with a capacity of 200,000 tons per year. This innovative one-step technology allows for direct transformation of low-value waste plastics into new plastics, bypassing traditional sorting methods.

Concurrently, a 200-hectare green recycling industrial park is being developed, with a second-phase investment of 22.6 billion yuan targeting a capacity of 3 million tons and an output of over 2 million tons of green olefins annually. The region is also home to key projects like the ExxonMobil Huizhou Ethylene Project, which enhances its industrial landscape. Guangdong's petrochemical sector, comprising over 9,800 firms generating 2 trillion yuan in revenue, is evolving into a major global hub through innovation and strategic investments.
