From the Wahaha Recycling Program to a Recycling Revolution in Material Applications
Ningbo Topcentral® New Materials Co., Ltd., together with its partners, is committed to building sustainable, green, and circular recycling supply chains with advanced technical solutions. We provide innovative recycling strategies for diverse sources and industries.
In partnership with Wahaha Group, China’s leading bottled water enterprise, Topcentral® operates a recycling program for post-consumer discarded polycarbonate (PC) water barrels. Each year, Wahaha retires millions of 19L PC barrels. Through our one-stop recycling supply chain and digital service platform, these discarded barrels are collected and transformed into high-performance PCR PC® products via advanced circular utilization technologies. Working with partners, we apply these recycled materials to a wide range of innovative fields, driving product application breakthroughs.
The recycling and circular utilization of post-consumer PC water barrels involves precise sorting, shredding, deep cleaning, pelletizing, and compounding.
Our R&D team has developed FREECBO2® PCR PC®, a 100% post-consumer, zero-carbon, green polycarbonate that meets internationally advanced standards in performance and sustainability. This material provides strong technical support for innovations across industries.

According to the 14th Five-Year Plan for Circular Economy Development by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), recycled plastics are a priority industry chain. As the Phase II Plastic Pollution Control Action Plan advances, the recycled plastics sector is poised for significant breakthroughs.
Each ton of PCR PC® can reduce CO₂ emissions by 91.8%, and its carbon reduction data is expected to be integrated into global carbon reduction and trading systems.
Through diversified collaborations, Topcentral® and industry partners are accelerating the transformation towards a sustainable, circular, and carbon-neutral future. We invite stakeholders to join us in building an “Infinite Loop” eco-system for materials.
