The leveling agent industry can take the following specific measures on the sustainable development path to promote green and low-carbon development:

1、 Raw material selection

Actively developing and adopting renewable resource based raw materials, such as biobased materials, to reduce dependence on traditional petroleum based raw materials and minimize environmental impact from the source. Choose environmentally friendly and sustainable raw material suppliers, establish long-term stable cooperative relationships, and ensure the quality and sustainability of raw materials.

2、 Production process optimization

By improving production processes and equipment, energy efficiency can be enhanced, energy consumption and carbon emissions can be reduced. For example, using advanced reaction devices and heat recovery systems to achieve energy recycling. Promote clean production technology to reduce waste emissions and harmful substances generated during the production process. Strengthen the treatment and reuse of production wastewater to ensure that wastewater discharge meets environmental standards. By utilizing intelligent means such as the Internet of Things and big data, the production process can be finely managed to improve production efficiency and quality stability, while reducing production costs and environmental pollution.

3、 Product Innovation and Upgrade

Increase research and development investment, develop environmentally friendly leveling agents with low VOC, low toxicity, and degradability to meet the market's demand for green products. Through molecular design and compounding techniques, the integration of multiple functions of leveling agents, such as antibacterial, anti fouling, self-healing, etc., is achieved to enhance the added value and market competitiveness of the product.

4、 Waste disposal and recycling

Establish a comprehensive system for waste classification and disposal, collect and dispose of waste generated during the production process, and recycle recyclable materials. Establish a mechanism for recycling discarded products, encourage users to recycle used leveling agent products and their packaging materials, and carry out harmless treatment and resource utilization.

5、 Policy cooperation and standard setting

Actively pay attention to and respond to the policy guidance of national and local governments on sustainable development, strive for policy support and funding subsidies, and promote the green transformation of the industry. Actively participate in the formulation of national and industry standards, promote the improvement and enhancement of relevant standards in the leveling agent industry, and provide technical support and normative guidance for the sustainable development of the industry.

6、 Social Responsibility and Propaganda Education

Enterprises should take the initiative to assume social responsibility, actively participate in public welfare and environmental protection activities, and contribute to the sustainable development of society.

Strengthen environmental education and training for employees and customers, enhance their awareness and participation in sustainable development, and jointly promote the green transformation of the leveling agent industry.

In summary, the leveling agent industry can start from multiple aspects on the sustainable development path, such as raw material selection, production process optimization, product innovation and upgrading, waste treatment and recycling, policy cooperation and standard setting, as well as social responsibility and publicity education, to promote the industry's green and low-carbon development.
