By understanding their properties and uses, we can appreciate the significant role they play in shaping both the microscopic and macroscopic aspects of our world.

Since 2025, multiple countries have introduced a wave of trade restrictions, with the plastics industry bearing the brunt. Thailand announced a ban on plastic waste imports, Japan fully prohibited products containing perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), the EU expanded its 16th round of sanctions against Russia to include primary aluminum imports, and the Philippines proposed a nickel ore export ban. These measures not only disrupt raw material supplies but also reshape the global plastics trade.

In the wave of the low-altitude economy, engineering plastics have become an indispensable "unsung hero" for drones and electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, thanks to their lightweight, high strength, and corrosion resistance. From reinforced nylon used in robust fuselages and landing gears, to polycarbonate forming transparent and impact-resistant canopy covers; from the stable performance of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) in high-temperature motor components, to the exceptional strength that carbon fiber composites provide for rotors and primary structures—engineering plastics play a critical role in reducing weight, extending range, structural design, and safety protection. They quietly support the performance breakthroughs and commercial adoption of low-altitude aircraft, serving as a vital foundation for the ascent of this new economic paradigm.

Daicel Group announces the full integration of its subsidiary Polyplastics' engineering plastics business, effective April 2026. This restructuring aims to create a more competitive high-performance materials platform, combining Polyplastics' leading products and technologies in POM, LCP, and other fields. Through unified management and strategic synergy, Daicel will optimize global operations, enhance innovation capabilities, and provide more comprehensive and efficient solutions for automotive, electronics, healthcare, and other industries, strengthening its position as a global leader in engineering plastics.

From Feb 9-10, our team escaped to Chongming Island for a spring retreat. Day 1 featured our year-end review meeting, followed by team games and a warm dinner. Day 2 brought creative crafting sessions and collaborative challenges. Though brief, these two days refreshed us amidst nature and strengthened our bonds. We return energized and united—ready to embrace the exciting journey of 2026 together!
