Hunan Lido Environmental Science & Technology Co., Ltd was invited to participate in the Environment Day promotional event named “Building a Beautiful Guangzhou, Sharing a Green National Games”, while BASF made an appearance at the Shanghai Carbon Expo.

On June 5, 2025, Hunan Lido was invited to take part in the “Building a Beautiful Guangzhou, Sharing a Green National Games” 2025 Guangzhou Environment Day and “Volunteer for the National Games, New Colors for Guangzhou” promotional event. The event was co-hosted by the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment, the Press and Broadcasting Department of the Executive Committee of the 15th National Games and the Special Olympics (Guangzhou Division), the Comprehensive Support Department of the Executive Committee, the Volunteer Department of the Executive Committee, the Guangzhou Municipal Committee of the Communist Youth League, and the People’s Government of Haizhu District, Guangzhou.

Relevant government officials were also present at the event. The Secretary-General of the Municipal Government personally experienced using the water-based barrier paper cups produced by Hunan Lido, demonstrating support for green practices and jointly promoting the construction of a zero-waste city.

During the event, Hunan Lido’s launch of the “Eco-Friendly Water-based Barrier Paper Cup Green Planting Initiative” attracted many citizens and professionals to stop by and learn more. The scene was lively and received enthusiastic engagement and widespread praise.

On the same day, BASF appeared at the Shanghai Carbon Expo. Dr. Lou Jianfeng, Chairman of BASF (China), attended the event in person, drawing broad media coverage. The water-based Barrier paper cup, jointly developed by BASF, DBC, APP, and LIDO, which is both home-compostable and directly recyclable, became a major highlight and focus of attention.

Though small and inconspicuous, these paper cups play a vital role in carbon reduction and the creation of a green, zero-waste city. We hope this small spark can start a prairie fire—join us and contribute a touch of green to our planet.
