With the increasing global awareness of environmental protection, governments around the world have continuously introduced stricter environmental regulations, which have put forward higher requirements for the production and use of chemical additives such as wetting agents. In the future, the wetting agent industry must keep up with the pace of environmental regulations, constantly adapt to and lead the trend of green development. Through technological innovation and industrial upgrading, the emission of harmful substances is reduced, and the environmental performance of products is improved to meet the market demand for green wetting agents.

Biobased wetting agents, as an important representative of environmentally friendly wetting agents, have significant advantages such as renewability and degradability. In the future, efforts should be made to increase the research and development of biobased wetting agents, explore new sources of biological raw materials, optimize production processes, and improve product performance. Through the application of biotechnology, the green transformation of wetting agents can be achieved, reducing dependence on non renewable resources such as petroleum and lowering the carbon footprint in the production process.

Energy efficiency improvement and emission reduction technologies are key to the green development of wetting agents. By improving production processes, adopting high-efficiency energy-saving equipment, optimizing production processes, enhancing energy utilization efficiency, and reducing greenhouse gas and harmful substance emissions. At the same time, research and application of new emission reduction technologies, such as carbon capture and storage technology, further reduce the environmental impact during the production process.

Circular economy and resource recycling are important ways to achieve green and sustainable development of wetting agents. By establishing a waste recycling and treatment system, effective recycling and reuse of waste generated during the production and use of wetting agents can be achieved. At the same time, promote cooperation between upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain, jointly build a green supply chain, and promote resource conservation and efficient utilization.

Market demand is the fundamental driving force behind the green development of wetting agents. With the increasing attention of consumers to environmentally friendly products, green consumption has become a new trend. In the future, the wetting agent industry should closely monitor changes in market demand, actively develop and promote green wetting agent products, and meet consumers' demands for environmental protection, health, and safety. At the same time, strengthen green consumption education and promotion, and enhance consumers' awareness of environmental protection and green consumption.
