At Huaxiang Chemical, most by-products from the citric and lactic acid processes are reused or recycled.
But to achieve true circularity, we have developed a new lactic acid production process.
In this process, almost all chemicals are recycled, resource efficiency is optimized, and by-products are eliminated. Over the past decade, we have scaled up the process from laboratory scale to pilot scale and then to demonstration scale, which gives us confidence in the feasibility of this process on an industrial scale.
To further consolidate our global market leadership in this attractive growth market, we have decided to build a new plant in the near future. The new plant will use our innovative proprietary circular technology. This new technology will further consolidate our position as the lowest-cost producer with the highest sustainability standards.
