HySum and Multinational Powerhouse Forge Strategic Partnership to Pioneer Sustainable Packaging Solutions

Huzhou, Zhejiang, China – February 8, 2025 – HySum (Stock Code: 300501), a global leader in pharmaceutical high-barrier packaging, today held partnership discussions and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with a multinational industry leader at its Zhejiang production base.

The two parties will collaborate on a comprehensive sustainable materials portfolio, covering biodegradable materials, bio-based materials, chemical recycling, physical recycling, and mono-material solutions, aiming to build a world-leading green packaging ecosystem that empowers low-carbon transformation across pharmaceuticals, new energy, and consumer industries.

Powerhouse Alliance: Building a Green Packaging Ecosystem

By leveraging their respective strengths in material science and advanced manufacturing, HySum and its partner will focus on developing high-performance recyclable composite films and biodegradable high-barrier materials for pharmaceutical and new energy packaging. This collaboration aligns with global ESG goals, targeting significant reductions in carbon footprints across supply chains.

"This partnership marks a pivotal step in HySum’s globalization strategy," stated Zhou Yupu, Sales Director of HySum. "By harnessing the intelligent production lines and R&D capabilities of our Zhejiang base, we will accelerate the commercialization of green packaging technologies, delivering more sustainable and efficient solutions to clients worldwide."

Technology-Driven Solutions for a Low-Carbon Future

The collaboration introduces three carbon-neutral pathways:

1. Recycled Materials: Transforming post-consumer plastics into new materials via mechanical and chemical recycling technologies.

2. Bio-based Materials: Utilizing plant-derived raw materials to reduce fossil fuel consumption and carbon emissions.

3. Biodegradable Materials: Developing materials that decompose naturally within months under microbial action.

Industry Trends: Net-Zero Transition and Circular Economy

On January 7, 2025, the World Economic Forum (WEF) released the Collaborative Framework for Net-Zero Transition, outlining guidelines for public-private partnerships to achieve decarbonization through carbon tracking, policy alignment, and climate tech investments.

Further driving regulatory momentum, the EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) (EU 2025/40) took effect on February 11, 2025, mandating that all packaging must be economically recyclable by 2030. Specific targets include incorporating 30% recycled content in plastic packaging by 2030, rising to 65% by 2040.

Zhejiang Base: The Core Engine of Green Manufacturing

As the hub for this collaboration, HySum’s Zhejiang production base spans 260,000㎡ of modern workshops, including 30,000㎡ of Class D cleanrooms and national-level laboratories equipped with German-imported casting lines and automated batching systems. The facility has already mass-produced star products such as recyclable blister packaging and aluminum-plastic films for new energy batteries.

HySum further solidifies its leadership through partnerships like the Advanced Low-Dimensional Materials Center with Donghua University, focusing on mono-material high-barrier structures and sustainable soft packaging R&D. Notably, HySum’s APET mono-material thermoformed packaging—a recyclable, single-material innovation—recently won the Meishi Cup Packaging Innovation and Sustainability Award for its breakthrough performance.

Future Commitment

HySum remains steadfast in its sustainability mission, integrating technological innovation with low-carbon initiatives to advance circular economy practices. By developing recyclable and biodegradable packaging, the company aims to provide a "green engine" for ecological protection while maintaining robust ESG governance.
