Did you know2024
Shenghong is a virgin polyester producer, but it is investing in recycled PET (rPET) capabilities — processing waste PET bottles and fiber into recycled polyester that meets ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) standards required by Western brands. The same company producing new polyester from virgin PTA (contributing to plastic waste) is simultaneously building bottle-to-fiber recycling infrastructure (reducing plastic waste). Chinese polyester producers like Shenghong are thus positioned in both the linear economy (virgin fiber) and the circular economy (recycled fiber) simultaneously, setting up a long-term competitive threat to Western recycling-only approaches to sustainable textile supply chains.

Shenghong Group (Eastern Shenghong Petrochemical) was founded in Jiangsu Province as a textile manufacturer in the 1990s before integrating into polyester chemistry. Located in the Yangtze River Delta polyester belt (adjacent to Zhejiang's Tongxiang cluster), Shenghong became one of China's major integrated polyester producers by the 2010s. Its Q3 2024 financials showed a -315% YOY net profit collapse, illustrating the severe overcapacity crisis across Chinese polyester as multiple large new plants commissioned in 2020-2024 flooded the market simultaneously.
