This year's China International Fair for Trade in Services held in Beijing showcased cutting-edge environmental solutions, featuring exhibitions from over a dozen of the globe’s top 500 corporations and leaders from the industry across nations such as Austria, Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, Switzerland, and Brazil.

Numerous enterprises demonstrated groundbreaking technologies aimed at transforming waste into value-added products, addressing worldwide ecological issues.

Companies displayed innovations such as enzymatic bioremediation techniques for plastics and textile polymers along with a converted PET bottle.

“A French company specializing in enzymatic bioremediation is pioneering green technologies for the high-quality recycling of plastic and textile waste. Its enzymatic recycling process can efficiently convert over 90 percent of plastic waste into new, high-quality PET bottles, offering a sustainable solution to plastic pollution.”

Another venture presented focuses on turning carbon monoxide from industrial emissions into fuel ethanol and feed protein.

“Bioethanol can be further used in gasoline, as marine fuel or as a feedstock for sustainable aviation fuel, which reduces CO2 emissions. Additionally, ethanol can serve as a valuable chemical raw material for various applications, from ethylene to textiles.”

The technologies on display at this year's CIFTIS highlight innovative answers to pressing problems like pollution and climate change, illustrating the potential for a greener future.
