From the perspective of "green content" to "gold content", "technology +" creative products release new consumption potential
On October 27, the second phase of the 136th Canton Fair entered its last day. In the Canton Fair Building and Decoration Materials Exhibition Area, exhibitors fully displayed new products, new technologies, new materials, and new designs, and also showed the current trend of industry change.
Building and decoration materials are closely related to our lives. If we want to live more comfortably, more beautifully, and more environmentally friendly, we must continue to innovate in materials and designs. Now green environmental protection has become a trend in the development of materials. This is a wood grain board, mainly used for wall decoration. Its texture and color are very similar to those of wood boards. Its raw materials come from foam boxes.
These two wall panels with different styles, the softer one is made from the body of a plastic bottle, and the harder one is made from the cap of a plastic bottle. Exhibitors introduced that they will recycle waste plastics, foams, etc., and reprocess them into building materials with different shapes and functions, which can reduce 2.5 million tons of carbon emissions each year. The products are exported to different countries around the world and are favored by local consumers.
At this Canton Fair, there are many products that pursue green environmental protection. In addition to being more environmentally friendly, there are also many products with richer functions and better performance. For example, lightweight bricks made of solid waste such as slag and ceramic tailings are not only beautiful in appearance, but also very light. There are also waterproof wall panels that can be recycled. The operation is very simple. Consumers can change the decoration style independently without causing waste. Although the prices of these products are relatively higher, they are also popular in the market because of their practicality and environmental protection.
In addition to the green innovation of the products themselves, many companies have improved the production process to improve production efficiency while reducing energy consumption and waste emissions. For example, this wall panel that is very similar to marble has a pattern from the raw materials discarded in the production process of other products, which can save 30% of the raw materials. At the same time, the wastewater generated can be 100% recycled.
The production process of ceramics cannot be separated from high temperature. Some exhibitors have achieved zero carbon emissions in the production process by developing high-temperature combustion technology of ammonia-hydrogen fusion. Such technological breakthroughs are inseparable from the local government's construction planning for new energy sources such as hydrogen and ammonia. By building a hydrogen and ammonia supply network, the upgrading and application of new technologies are promoted. This is also a vivid example of the country's promotion of the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry.
Creative products with a high "green" content highlight new consumption trends
Speaking of "green", the garden supplies exhibition area at the Canton Fair can be described as "green". The garden supplies exhibition area focuses on the latest research and development results and cutting-edge technologies in this field, and various creative products highlight new consumption trends.
Walking into the garden supplies exhibition area, it feels like being in a big garden, and buyers attending the meeting can get a "one-stop" purchasing experience. The display products in the exhibition area range from artificial turf to simulated plants and flowers, from garden tools and utensils to garden fountain water decorations, covering all garden-related products.
Innovation is the key to corporate transformation. Garden supplies companies continue to use new technologies and new designs to win new markets. Many companies have increased their investment in scientific research towards the goal of greening, and developed new products suitable for different markets, which are favored by foreign buyers.
The Canton Fair is an important display stage for technological innovation, quality improvement, and digital empowerment in China's garden products industry. It is also an important opportunity to demonstrate the strength of enterprises and expand exchanges and cooperation. Various creative products also highlight new consumption trends and attract orders from foreign buyers.
The lifelike simulated plants are favored by merchants
In the garden products exhibition area of the second phase of the Canton Fair, the lifelike simulated plants and flowers are favored by merchants with their exquisite craftsmanship, realistic appearance and environmental protection concepts.
Walking into the garden exhibition area, the booth is full of various simulated plants. From tall trees to small plants, from spring flowers to autumn flowers, each plant is lifelike, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.
These simulated plants are not only the same as real plants in appearance, but also strive to restore the real touch in texture, so that people can feel the texture and elasticity of the plants when touching them.
According to the exhibitors, today's simulated plants use new materials, and the product quality is constantly improving, attracting customers' attention with excellent quality. Exhibitor Ms. Wen has participated in the Canton Fair for 28 consecutive years. For many years, her main market has been European and American countries. In 2024, she specially designed simulated green plants suitable for the style of the "Belt and Road" countries, with red elements as the main tone, which is deeply favored by merchants.
