China’s First! Medpha PHA Granted Medical Device Registration Certificate

IEA Monthly Report: Global oil demand in 2026 is expected to decline by 1.6 million barrels per day due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and high oil prices (previously forecasted to decline by 1 million barrels per day).

Recently, Zhuhai Maide Biological Technology Co., Ltd. received approval for its "single-use sterile tissue closure clip" as a Class II medical device (Yue Medical Device Registration No. 20262020844), becoming the first domestic medical device approved made from polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA). PHA has officially transitioned from the laboratory to clinical use, marking a milestone breakthrough for domestic biomedical materials.

Recently, the People’s Government of Uxin Banner, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, issued the “Public Notice on Social Stability Risk Assessment for the 1 Million Tons/Year Ethane and Light Hydrocarbon-to-Ethylene Project of Hohhot Petrochemical Company.” According to publicly available preliminary project information, the project plans to newly build: a 1 million tons/year ethylene unit (including a PSA unit), a 300,000 tons/year HDPE unit, two 400,000 tons/year FDPE units, a 250,000 tons/year PP unit, a 50,000 tons/year butadiene extraction unit, a 100,000 tons/year pyrolysis gasoline hydrogenation unit, and a 200,000 tons/year by-product consumption co-production unit. Supporting utility and auxiliary facilities, storage and transportation works, as well as a dedicated railway spur line, will be constructed concurrently.

Report on August 11: Rongsheng Petrochemical's 1.6 million tons per year ABS unit has a planned production reduction for August, with an expected load reduction to 60-70% operation. Previously, the unit was operating at about 80% capacity.

Huinan Technology (Boluo) 3D Printing Intelligent Manufacturing Base Project Filing.The total project investment is 200 million RMB, located in Xinzhanwu, Yuanzhou Town, Boluo County, Huizhou City. It leases local factory buildings/industrial park with a total construction area of approximately 12,500 square meters and covers an area of about 3,000 square meters. The project aims to build a full-chain intelligent manufacturing base integrating AI toy creative design, large-scale FDM 3D printing manufacturing, R&D and production of FDM eco-friendly 3D printing materials, and toy IP cultural and creative incubation. It adopts the FDM fused deposition modeling process, supporting an FDM 3D printing eco-friendly material production area (2,500㎡): establishing standardized PLA material automated extrusion production lines, with 300 production lines to be built in batches within 5 years.
