The Ningxia Autonomous Region Education Bureau places great emphasis on the construction of school sports fields. This visit to Shanghai aims to gain a deeper understanding of the new National Standard GB36246-2018 through discussions with DBC, the drafters of the standard, to ensure and enhance the quality of synthetic sports field construction in Ningxia's schools. The delegation also visited BASF’s advanced and well-equipped sports field materials production base in Pudong, Shanghai, which provides a high-quality assurance from the source of materials for sports field construction. This visit allowed the delegation to better understand the production process and quality control systems, which will help the education system in selecting appropriate materials and ensuring construction quality.

The BASF Shanghai Pudong facility is indeed quite large; it takes some time to make a full circuit by golf cart.
Leaders of the Ningxia Department of Education expressed their impressions after visiting the BASF Shanghai Pudong production base: Throughout the entire tour, there was no odor both inside and outside the factory premises, and even in the production areas. The wastewater treatment area also had no noticeable smell. Such a large-scale chemical enterprise has achieved the utmost in environmental standards, which is truly admirable and worthy of learning from. It deserves respect. Let us all contribute to the green campus construction in China!
