Recently, the Department of Industry and Information Technology of Henan Province released the "Guiding Catalogue for the First Batch of Secondary Application Demonstrations of Key New Materials in Henan Province (2025 Edition)", and the "Bio based 1,2-pentanediol" independently developed by Henan Hosn Biologic Materials Co., Ltd. was successfully selected as an advanced chemical material category. Among the 17 advanced chemical materials selected in the province this time, Hosn Company stands out with its three core advantages of "zero food competition for non grain raw materials", "low-carbon emissions in closed-loop production", and "resource recycling throughout the entire industry chain". This marks its technological leadership in the field of biobased materials, which has been recognized by provincial authorities, injecting innovative momentum into the upgrading of Henan Province's new materials industry and setting an example for the transformation and upgrading of traditional chemical industry to new materials.
As a benchmark enterprise in the field of non grain bio based materials in China, Hosn Company has always taken "high-value utilization of agricultural waste" as its research and development direction. The selected "bio based 1,2-pentanediol" is made from agricultural by-products such as corn cob, and through independent research and development of closed-loop production technology, it achieves the full chain conversion from "corn cob → furfural → furfuryl alcohol → 1,2-pentanediol". This product combines natural antibacterial properties, efficient moisturizing, and 100% biodegradability, and can be widely used in cosmetics, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and high-end industrial fields. It provides a sustainable solution to replace traditional petroleum based materials and processes over 2 million tons of agricultural waste annually, reducing carbon emissions by 3.66 million tons, truly achieving the goal of "turning waste into treasure".
As the only approved new chemical base in Henan Province, Puyang City is accelerating the construction of five major industrial chains, namely "bio based materials and carbon based new materials". Hosn Company relies on the abundant agricultural resources and chemical industry foundation in the local area, and promotes the large-scale production of bio based materials from the laboratory through collaborative innovation between industry, academia, and research. This selection into the provincial key directory will further promote the upstream and downstream collaboration of the industrial chain, and help Puyang build a first-class domestic bio based materials industry cluster.
This selection is a recognition of the team's technological research and development, as well as a milestone for Hosn's deep cultivation in the field of biobased materials. In the future, Hosn Enterprise will continue to increase its research and development investment. At the same time, with the implementation of the EU carbon tariff policy, the demand for biobased materials will surge. The company's research and development of materials will further promote the transformation of the global green supply chain and provide hardcore support for carbon neutrality goals.
