Core Viewpoint - The XPS foam industry is actively working towards eliminating HCFCs in compliance with national regulations, achieving significant results and contributing to environmental protection goals [1][2]. Group 1: Industry Compliance and Achievements - The industry has eliminated nearly 18,000 tons of HCFCs in accordance with policies and regulations [1]. - Since 2011, 46 companies have participated in the multilateral fund elimination project, achieving a total HCFCs consumption elimination of 17,922.264 tons [2]. - The industry is expected to comply with the national plan to ban the production and consumption of HCFCs starting January 1, 2026, with a complete phase-out of HCFCs as a foaming agent by July 1, 2026 [2]. Group 2: Regulatory Framework and Future Directions - The Ministry of Ecology and Environment emphasizes the importance of ozone layer protection and is enhancing regulatory frameworks and responsibilities at local levels [1]. - Companies are encouraged to operate legally and comply with national policies while understanding their responsibilities [1]. - The XPS industry is seeking expert discussions to address the impact of alternative foaming agents on thermal conductivity and to develop feasible solutions [2]. Group 3: Standardization Efforts - A seminar on the group standards for XPS backing boards was held, focusing on the organization, member roles, and responsibilities for drafting the standards [3]. - The standards will prioritize scientific validity, advanced applicability, and practical implementation to address real industry challenges [3].
