Polyacrylamide (PAM) , a core chemical in water treatment, oil and gas extraction, and mineral processing, has seen its production process’s environmental friendliness and sustainability become key considerations for global buyers. Yixing Cleanwater Chems, with years of experience in the PAM industry, focuses on green production technologies to create a “low-carbon, low-consumption, high-quality” product system. This system precisely matches the upgrading needs of the Middle East, the United States, Australia, and Japan, providing global customers with environmentally friendly PAM wastewater treatment solutions.
Over the past three months, PAM procurement demand in the four major target markets has shown a significant “green-oriented” characteristic. Environmental compliance and sustainable production capabilities have become core indicators for supplier selection, while regional differences in demand have become more pronounced:
Middle East Market: Oil and Gas Exploration and Water Treatment Drive a Surge in Demand for Environmentally Friendly PAM
PAM procurement in the Middle East has increased by 8% month-on-month over the past three months, driven by two main factors: First, the recovery of shale oil and deep-sea oilfield exploration activities has kept the annual growth rate of demand for salt-resistant and temperature-resistant environmentally friendly PAM at around 5%; second, the increasing water shortage has accelerated the implementation of municipal wastewater reuse projects, making low-residue, recyclable PAM products a procurement hotspot. Procurement trends show that local oil companies and water treatment institutions prefer suppliers with ISO environmental certification, and sustainable production reports have become a mandatory document for bidding.
US Market: Tighter EPA Standards Drive High-End Sustainable PAM into Essential Needs
The US PAM procurement market over the past three months has shown a trend of “quality upgrades and increased environmental protection,” with water treatment accounting for 62% of procurement volume and oil and gas extraction demand increasing by 4% month-on-month. The EPA’s further tightening of restrictions on acrylamide residues is driving buyers to switch to PAM that meets EPA standards. Simultaneously, US companies are incorporating ESG into their supply chain assessment systems, with 40% of large buyers explicitly requiring suppliers to provide carbon footprint reports; sustainable production capabilities directly impact eligibility for cooperation.
Australian Market: Mining and Agriculture Drive Strong Demand for Green PAM Imports
Australia’s PAM imports over the past three months have increased by 7% month-on-month, with the mineral processing sector accounting for over 50% of procurement, showing a particularly strong demand for environmentally friendly PAM specifically designed for mineral processing. With the expansion of lithium and iron ore mining projects, buyers are not only focusing on the settling efficiency of PAM but also emphasizing its environmental impact—biodegradable products without secondary pollution are more likely to secure orders. Furthermore, the increase in agricultural soil improvement projects has also driven the growth in demand for low-residue, low-carbon-emission PAM products.
Japan Market: Strengthened Green Procurement Policies Favor High-End Environmentally Friendly PAM
Japan’s PAM procurement has maintained steady growth over the past three months, with environmentally friendly materials accounting for over 90% of procurement. PAM products meeting green standards continue to see increased penetration in the water treatment and paper industries. Procurement trends show that the paper industry’s demand for low-consumption PAM accounts for 45%, used to improve waste paper recycling rates and reduce production energy consumption; the water treatment sector prefers high-end environmentally friendly PAM with a residual monomer content of less than 0.03%, and the widespread adoption of digital procurement platforms allows for real-time verification of suppliers’ sustainable production data.
Yixing Cleanwater focuses on “carbon reduction, energy saving, and quality improvement,” building a sustainable production system across the entire process. Its technological advantages align perfectly with the environmental demands of four major markets:
High-Quality Control: Dual Guarantee of Environmental Protection and Efficiency
· Independently developed low-residue monomer polymerization technology results in products with low polyycrylamide (PAM) residue, meeting international standards such as EPA and Japanese JIS, ensuring safe and harmless use.
· Customized Production for Different Market Needs: Developing salt-resistant and temperature-resistant PAM for the Middle East, optimizing settling rates for the Australian mining industry, enhancing performance for the Japanese paper industry, and creating low-toxicity products that meet EPA standards for the US market. Dual achievement of quality stability and environmental compliance.
Circular Economy Model: Achieving Efficient Resource Utilization
· Production wastewater, after deep treatment, achieves an 85% recovery rate and can be directly used for production replenishment, reducing the consumption of fresh water resources; solid waste, after harmless treatment, achieves a 70% resource utilization rate, turning waste into treasure. We develop biodegradable PAM products, incorporating natural polysaccharide grafting technology. Our products achieve a biodegradability rate of over 60% in the natural environment, effectively addressing the long-standing environmental problems associated with traditional PAM, and are particularly compatible with environmental requirements in Japan and the United States.
