Escalation of Retaliatory Measures! EU Continues to Pressure the US According to two officials who were briefed on the talks, the EU is preparing a list of possible tariffs on US services and export control measures as part of potential retaliatory actions if trade negotiations with Washington fail. In response to US President Trump's tariffs, the European Commission is compiling this list of measures, which still needs to be submitted to EU member states. Trump has announced that he plans to impose a 30% tariff on the EU bloc starting from August 1. Although Brussels had previously warned that it could expand the transatlantic trade war to services if negotiations to avoid these tariffs fail, it has so far not submitted specific measures to European capitals. One of the officials emphasized that the list will not only target US tech companies. This list will be an additional measure beyond the retaliatory proposal already being discussed by EU countries targeting 72 billion euros of annual US imports, which includes tariffs on Boeing aircraft, automobiles, and bourbon whiskey. 2. EU to Establish Critical Chemical Alliance to Safeguard Supply Chain Security The EU's executive body stated that the European Commission will work with member states and the chemical industry to support the production of chemicals identified as crucial to Europe's industrial supply chains. The European Commission said it will establish a Critical Chemical Alliance later this year, which will bring together the Commission, member states, and various stakeholders as part of a broader plan to revitalize Europe's chemical industry. In a statement, the Commission said the alliance will "identify key production sites in need of policy support and address trade issues such as supply chain dependencies and market distortions". This initiative draws on another alliance established earlier, which is responsible for identifying metals and minerals crucial to the energy transition. Subsequently, the EU set mining, processing, and recycling targets for 17 strategic materials. 3.

Reusable cup system to be piloted at K 2025
K 2025 will see the implementation of the first comprehensive reusable cup system at a Messe Düsseldorf event. The pilot initiative represents a significant effort towards reducing waste from single-use cups at large-scale events. Messe Düsseldorf is committed to reducing waste at its large-scale events. This initiative represents a significant step towards reducing single-use packaging at global exhibitions, aligning with the objectives of the EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). The reusable cups, made from foamable PP supplied by Borealis, will be available deposit-free at all restaurants and bars across the site throughout the duration of the show. To support reuse, Messe Düsseldorf will install special collection containers. Visitors can return the cups to service points, place them in the collection containers, or take them home for personal reuse. Logistics staff will ensure that cups left on tables or placed in the collection containers are retrieved, rinsed in on-site kitchens, and returned to service. Any cups disposed of in general waste bins will be collected after the fair and recycled by Borealis. Unused cups will be donated for further use. The pilot is able to be realised as a result of a collaboration between various partners, including Arburg, who has supplied the machinery; Bockatech, whose EcoCore foaming technology, used for the durable injection moulded cups, reduces plastic use by up to 50%, doubles the thermal insulation, cuts manufacturing time and provides 5x the strength while ensuring recyclability; MCC Global IML, a manufacturer of sustainable in-mould labels for rigid plastic packaging; and Miko Pac, a company specialised in developing and producing innovative plastic packaging solutions for various industries, including food service. The initiative will assess reuse and recycling rates, providing valuable insights for the effective implementation of scalable reuse systems at future events Messe Düsseldorf will analyze usage patterns, tracking how many cups are used, re-used, and recycled. The insights gained will contribute to the development of more sustainable solutions for future events, since reducing emissions and waste from operations is a key objective of Messe Düsseldorf’s sustainability strategy. Thomas Franken, K Director, Portfolio Plastics and Rubber, Messe Düsseldorf, explains the motivation behind the initiative: “Introducing reusable cups to replace single-use cups at K 2025 aligns perfectly with our motto, ‘The Power of Plastics! Green – Smart – Responsible.’ As the global forum shaping the future of plastics, K 2025 provides the ideal platform to highlight practical initiatives that reflect the industry’s commitment to sustainability – while also supporting Messe Düsseldorf’s own sustainability goals.” An additional sustainability advantage comes from the use of chemically recycled feedstock based on OMV’s ReOil technology. “ReOil is our proprietary chemical recycling technology that converts end-of-life plastics into circular feedstock for the production of chemicals, in particular new plastics,” said Maximilian Grasserbauer, OMV Senior Vice President Circular Economy. We operate ReOil at our Schwechat refinery close to Vienna, Austria, and are continuously investing in advancing this technology to ensure a reliable supply of circular feedstock for the market. ReOil is part of our sustainable base chemicals portfolio, designed to support our industry’s shift toward circular feedstocks.” Beyond reusability and recycled content, the cups contribute to the circular economy in multiple ways: they are lightweight and material-efficient, have a reduced carbon footprint, and are fully recyclable. "At Borealis, we are committed to creating innovative solutions in collaboration with our value chain partners and this initiative is a prime example,” said Peter Voortmans, Borealis Vice President Marketing Consumer Products. “Reuse systems are key to making large-scale events more sustainable, and our polypropylene solutions for foam support this by enabling lightweight, durable, and fully recyclable applications that use less material than conventional alternatives. Borealis will exhibit together with Borouge at Hall 6, Stand A43.

Compiled by the China Household Electric Appliance Association, the white paper reveals the trends in home appliance consumption driven by both the policy incentives for trading in old appliances for new ones and technological innovation.The White Paper summarizes the significant changes in China's home appliance consumption into six major trends, with the second trend being the deep-seated concept of green and low-carbon practices.Policy and technology double-drive, forming a closed loop for green consumptionXu Dongsheng, Vice Chairman of the China Household Electrical Appliances Association, stated during the release of the "White Paper" that Chinese consumers' awareness of green environmental protection is continuously increasing. Guided by the trade-in policy, green appliances have become the preferred choice for consumers. While enjoying high-quality lifestyles, consumers are also contributing to sustainable development.Driven by national policies and technological innovations, China's home appliance consumption is accelerating its transition towards green, low-carbon, and smart integration directions. Latest data from the Ministry of Commerce shows,2024The old-for-new policy drives energy efficiency.1Product sales proportion exceeds90%, the volume of recycled appliances increased year over year.14.83%, the synergy between consumption upgrade and environmental protection concepts is significant. The logic behind consumer decision-making has shifted from“Pay attention to energy efficiency rating”Turn“Manage carbon footprint”Green smart home appliances have become the mainstream in the market.The subsidy policy for trade-in programs has effectively lowered the consumption threshold for high-efficiency products, promoting the rapid adoption of energy-saving and smart appliances. The policy not only stimulates consumption potential but also accelerates the improvement of the recycling system, creating an "economic incentive."-Cognitive Upgrade-A virtuous cycle of "behavior conversion" is formed. Among consumer groups, price-sensitive users are more likely to accept high-cost-performance energy-saving products, quality-upgrading users prefer smart home appliances empowered by green technology, and environmental concept pioneers actively choose low-carbon products, collectively promoting the market towards sustainable development.Intelligent technology empowers the energy efficiency revolutionDriven by the wave of energy-saving consumption, home appliance industry's energy-saving technology has further advanced. Especially in usage, AI In terms of technological advancements for energy conservation, the focus has evolved from early single-function optimization to a comprehensive energy efficiency management system covering all scenarios. Technological iterations exhibit three key characteristics: first, dynamic adaptive control; second, multi-device collaborative scheduling; and third, deep learning of user behavior. Hisense air conditioners through1200Multiple environmental sensors build a dynamic regulation model, achieving36%Improvement in energy-saving efficiency; Casarte refrigerators rely on intelligent power control systems to dynamically adjust cooling power and maintain energy efficiency.1Huawei's HarmonyOS Smart Home system uses millimeter-wave technology to create a whole-house energy consumption heat map, automatically cutting off ineffective energy-consuming devices. User behavior learning technology further optimizes energy-saving effects, such as Gree's central air conditioning automatically switching to low-power mode by sensing human activity, reducing energy consumption at night.35%The Samsung clothing care machine adjusts the care cycle intelligently based on usage data, saving electricity.21%。The application of new energy fosters self-circulating home energy systems.The deep integration of new energy technologies such as photovoltaics and energy storage with home appliances has given rise to“Light storage direct flexibility”Innovative models such as photovoltaic air conditioners and energy storage systems launched by companies like Gree and Hisense can intelligently schedule solar power generation and home appliance usage through a home energy management platform.AWE2025At the exhibition, products like the triple heat pump air conditioners and photovoltaic water heaters became the center of attention, as home appliances are transitioning from power-consuming terminals to energy management nodes. In the future, home energy self-circulation systems will integrate more renewable energy sources, further reducing carbon emissions.Deepening the Green Concept: From Energy Saving to Reducing Resource WasteAs consumption concepts continue to improve, reducing resource waste is gradually taking root in people's minds. The deeper changes in consumption concepts also allow home appliance companies to meet consumers' deeper needs through technological innovation, environmental responsibility, and the upgrade of lifestyles. For example,格力. (Note: The sentence ends abruptly with "格力" which is likely a placeholder or incomplete. If it was meant to reference a company, it would typically be followed by a relevant statement or description.)“Calm King+”The air conditioner uses dual-effect optimization technology,APFReach the value4.56far exceeding national standards1Level horizontal.In the field of reducing food waste, Haier's magnetic control freezing technology extends the preservation period and improves the retention rate of freshness by decomposing food molecular clusters with a magnetic field, promoting technological innovation in the refrigerator industry.AIVision sensing technology assists in smartly managing ingredients in refrigerators, reducing waste. In terms of water conservation, Bosch dishwashers use only a fraction of the water needed for hand washing.1/8The highest annual water saving capacity reaches22000Upgraded; Zero-wait Hot Water Gas Water Heater ThroughAIPremix water temperature to reduce water resource waste.Eco-friendly materials and processes become the new benchmark in the industry.In the green and low-carbon progress of home appliance products, the application of eco-friendly materials and processes has become a significant highlight. Numerous home appliance companies are actively practicing green concepts, adopting various eco-friendly materials to provide consumers with a more environmentally friendly product experience.AsR290Natural refrigerants are widely used in air conditioners, freezers, and other applications, providing both performance and environmental benefits. Refrigerators and washing machines with casings made from recyclable plastics reduce the environmental impact throughout the product's life cycle. The adoption of免喷涂工艺 (I assume this refers to "low-energy painting" or similar, as "免喷涂" literally means "without painting") reduces volatile organic compound emissions while enhancing the product's appearance. Additionally, the use of non-harmful materials is increasingly becoming an important consideration for consumers when purchasing home appliances.Currently, China's home appliance industry is building a new green consumption ecosystem through policy guidance, technological breakthroughs, and conceptual upgrades. This trend not only promotes high-quality industrial development but also provides global low-carbon transformation with“Chinese sample”。
