都佰城DBC Bioten™PHA水性阻隔涂层顺利通过TÜV莱茵评估，正式获得德国DIN CERTCO工业&家庭堆肥认证证书，在可堆肥性与可降解性能方面符合国际主流标准要求。都佰城创新中心产品开发工程师Dr. RASHID KHAN（庞德瀚博士）介绍道，采用Bioten™PHA生物基水性阻隔涂层的纸制品回收再浆率高达97%。在加工效率方面，该涂层在纸基涂布环节最高可实现约800米/分钟的高速涂布；在纸基容器领域，如一次性纸杯生产线成型速度最高可达280杯/分钟，为纸基食品包装企业提供了一种兼具高效率、高阻隔性能与绿色低碳属性的新选择。
都佰城是一家以新材料应用创新为基础的科技公司。创始人林凡秋先生长期深耕产品开发与材料创新实践，对“纸代塑”食品包装阻隔涂层具有全面而深刻的洞察。他从中国食品包装供应链高质量发展与国际化竞争的专业视角出发，系统思考材料原理与产品逻辑，并以第一性原理的方法，重新审视行业未来发展及相关国际规则的创新方向。
林凡秋先生认为，从材料原理的客观角度来看，世界上难以依靠单一材料来满足产品在实际使用中的全部性能标准，材料企业也不应为了宣称自己能够用100% 单一材料打造出工业级的“完美产品”，而去挑战基本的科学原理。微生物发酵材料 PHA（聚羟基脂肪酸酯）作为生物基材料行业内降解性能优异、降解速率较快的一类材料，以其为基础制备的水相化PHA 乳液，更有利于在保证纸制品高回收再浆率的同时，加速在适宜条件下的堆肥降解进程。
他强调，中国生物材料的创造者和引领者们，尤其是PHA生物制造的创新企业，更应当以专业视角主动引领应用端需求，而不是习惯性地“口头满足”应用制品企业的所有要求，必须坚持科学性和技术逻辑，更要避免在应用端陷入“自证者陷阱”的死循环——只在有限场景中反复自我论证，从而无意中限制有潜力的生物基材料走向规模化和多领域应用创新的前景，进而让PHA产业陷入生存危机，也不可避免地削弱国际用户对中国纸基食品包装制品企业的信任。

食品包装及阻隔涂层材料企业在全球日益趋严的各国标准与监管框架下，负有创造“真实产品”的中国责任：在食品包装赛道，中国本身就是领先者，无论是产业链的成熟度还是效率，都不是其他国家轻易可以比拟的，而高质量的产品，需要整个产业链共同审视其科学性和合规性。能做到的要坚决做到——纸基包装市场足够庞大，即便是成本相对更高的优秀产品也有其明确的用户群，只是需要建立行业有效规则，避免以次充好、恶性低价竞争，扰乱创新企业的动力；阶段性尚未做到的，也应坦诚说明，这并不会必然影响销量，从业者更应清晰定位自己有能力服务的目标客户群体。
相比于在最终制品上模糊“理论上不可降解、实际上可降解”这类边界，行业更需要对材料组合与结构做出公开、清晰的说明，让监管者和各国政策制定者在充分了解真实技术水平的基础上，去接纳和支持真正优秀的产品，同时也更好地满足那些既追求性价比、又真正关心实际可降解表现的用户需求。
事实上，当下已经有越来越多手段和工具可以对最终使用产品的材料组成进行检测与验证，这并非少数企业的“独有能力”，而是整个行业都可以、也应该掌握和运用的科学手段。只有以专业为基础、以产品实用为导向，行业才能走向高质量、规模化、可持续的发展路径。
在他看来，行业的可持续发展，需要科学家和工程师开展系统性、组合式的创新研发；在满足全球各国权威标准及认证要求的基础上，有能力的企业应在此之上持续提升综合性能，或者通过明确不同系列产品的性能边界与适用场景，让产业链各环节企业都能明明白白地选择与使用。林凡秋指出，在纸基食品包装领域，“材料接触安全、不含微塑料、易回收、易堆肥、可降解、生物基源头减碳”有望成为全球行业共识。纸代塑食品包装行业的成功，取决于能否以真正可落地的材料体系和工艺路径来支撑这些原则；样品检测认证与工业级产品的一致性必须做到透明、可验证，并接受公开、专业的检验，企业才能持续发展，中国纸基制品制造也才能形成强有力的国际竞争力。

DBC's DBC Bioten™ PHA water-based barrier coating successfully passed the TÜV Rheinland evaluation and officially obtained the German DIN CERTCO industrial & household composting certification. It meets the requirements of international mainstream standards in terms of compostability and degradability. Dr. RASHID KHAN, product development engineer at DBC Innovation Center, said that the recycling and repulping rate of paper products using Bioten™ PHA bio-based water-based barrier coating is as high as 97%. In terms of processing efficiency, the coating can achieve high-speed coating of up to about 800 meters/minute in the paper-based coating process; in the field of paper-based containers, the molding speed of the disposable paper cup production line can reach up to 280 cups/minute, providing paper-based food packaging companies with a new option that combines high efficiency, high barrier performance and green and low-carbon attributes.
DBC is a technology company based on innovation in the application of new materials. The founder, Mr. Lin Fanqiu, has been deeply engaged in product development and material innovation practices for a long time, and has comprehensive and profound insights into "paper instead of plastic" food packaging barrier coatings. From the professional perspective of high-quality development and international competition of China's food packaging supply chain, he systematically thinks about material principles and product logic, and uses a first-principles approach to re-examine the future development of the industry and the innovative direction of relevant international rules.
Mr. Lin Fanqiu believes that from an objective point of view of material principles, it is difficult for the world to rely on a single material to meet all performance standards of products in actual use. Material companies should not challenge basic scientific principles in order to claim that they can create industrial-grade "perfect products" with 100% single materials. Bluephal fermentation material PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoate) is a type of material with excellent degradation performance and fast degradation rate in the bio-based material industry. The water-phased PHA emulsion prepared based on it is more conducive to accelerating the compost degradation process under suitable conditions while ensuring a high recovery and repulping rate of paper products.
He emphasized that the creators and leaders of China's biomaterials, especially innovative companies in PHA biomanufacturing, should proactively lead application-side needs from a professional perspective, instead of habitually "verbally satisfying" all the requirements of application product companies. They must adhere to scientific and technical logic, and avoid falling into "" The endless loop of "self-certifier trap" - repeated self-verification only in limited scenarios, thus inadvertently limiting the potential of bio-based materials to move towards large-scale and multi-field application innovation, thus putting the PHA industry into an existential crisis, and inevitably weakening the trust of international users in Chinese paper-based food packaging products companies.

Food packaging and barrier coating material companies have China's responsibility to create "real products" under the increasingly stringent standards and regulatory frameworks of various countries around the world: In the food packaging track, China itself is a leader. Whether it is the maturity or efficiency of the industrial chain, it is not easily comparable to other countries. High-quality products require the entire industry chain to jointly review their scientific nature and compliance. What can be done must be done resolutely - the paper-based packaging market is huge enough, and even excellent products with relatively higher costs have their own clear user groups. However, effective rules for the industry need to be established to avoid shoddy products and vicious low-price competition, which disrupt the motivation of innovative enterprises; for those that have not yet been achieved at the stage, it should be frankly stated that this will not necessarily affect sales. Practitioners should clearly define the target customer groups they are capable of serving.
Rather than blurring the boundaries of "theoretically non-degradable, actually degradable" on the final product, the industry needs to provide an open and clear explanation of the material combination and structure, so that regulators and policymakers in various countries can accept and support truly excellent products based on a full understanding of the true technical level. At the same time, it can also better meet the needs of users who pursue cost-effectiveness and truly care about actual degradable performance.
In fact, there are now more and more methods and tools that can test and verify the material composition of end-use products. This is not the "unique ability" of a few companies, but a scientific method that the entire industry can and should master and use. Only by being professional-based and product practical-oriented can the industry move toward a high-quality, large-scale, and sustainable development path.
In his view, the sustainable development of the industry requires scientists and engineers to carry out systematic and combined innovative research and development; on the basis of meeting the authoritative standards and certification requirements of various countries around the world, capable companies should continue to improve comprehensive performance on top of this, or by clarifying the performance boundaries and applicable scenarios of different series of products, so that companies in all links of the industry chain can clearly choose and use them. Lin Fanqiu pointed out that in the field of paper-based food packaging, "materials are contact-safe, do not contain microplastics, are easy to recycle, are easily compostable, are degradable, and bio-based source carbon reduction" is expected to become a global industry consensus. The success of the paper-based plastic food packaging industry depends on whether these principles can be supported by a truly implementable material system and process path; the consistency of sample testing and certification with industrial-grade products must be transparent and verifiable, and accept open and professional inspections. Only then can enterprises continue to develop, and China's paper-based product manufacturing can also develop strong international competitiveness.
DBC empowers the sustainable development of the paper-based packaging industry with PHA bio-based product innovation. Starting from first principles, it develops a bio-based, low-carbon, high-performance, and high-standard innovative product matrix to meet the application performance needs of different segmented scenarios. In the future, DBC will successively release systematic product solutions for PHA bio-based water-based barrier coatings for food packaging, continue to maintain close cooperation with TÜV Rheinland, and continue to promote the certification of Bioten™ PHA series products in accordance with relevant standards of DIN CERTCO, ABA, BPI and other authoritative organizations.
At the same time, Mr. Lin Fanqiu thanked the strategic partner BASF of Germany for its support in biomass material balance technology, as well as the PHA raw material partner Bluepha and the leading food cardboard company APP Sinar Mas for their strong support in technological innovation. DBC will focus on different base materials and application scenarios such as food cardboard, tissue paper, kraft paper, bamboo pulp paper, pulp molding, etc., strengthen innovative collaboration with manufacturing and processing equipment companies, continue to develop professional system product overall solutions, and help China's paper-based food packaging manufacturing companies build a professional, high-end, branded, and large-scale internationally competitive industrial cluster.
DBC BIOTEN will soon release a PHA bio-based water-based barrier coating system solution. Please stay tuned for the product matrix briefing session on DBC's systematic innovative solutions for paper-based barrier coatings!
