According to the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" issued by the state, during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the total investment in transportation will reach 15 trillion yuan, including 3.5 trillion yuan for railways, 7.8 trillion yuan for highways, 0.65 trillion yuan for civil aviation and 0.5 trillion yuan for water transportation. The implementation of the plan has brought dividends to the development of the geotechnical materials industry. At the end of last year, the National Development and Reform Commission approved a number of high-speed rail projects with an investment scale of over 100 billion yuan. As a business card project made in China, high-speed rail has the characteristics of high technology content, high investment, cross-regional, long construction period, and high standards. It is an important engine to promote my country's economic development, social progress, and improve people's lives. A new round of construction boom has brought new research and application opportunities for the geotechnical materials industry.

According to statistics, in 2018, the national railway fixed asset investment was 802.8 billion yuan, and 4683 kilometers of new lines were put into operation, including 4100 kilometers of high-speed railways; the national railway operating mileage was more than 131000 kilometers; the road network density was 136.9 kilometers/10,000 square kilometers. In 2018, China Railway Corporation also optimized and adjusted the certification catalogue of railway special products to meet the production needs of railway transportation, engineering construction, material procurement and so on. Railway geosynthetics were selected for the first time in the new edition of the catalogue, covering four types of geocoel, geogrid, geomembrane and geotextile, and the certification and credit management will be implemented from May 1, 2019. This is another major measure to standardize and promote the application of geotechnical materials in railway engineering since the promulgation of the series of technical standards for railway engineering geosynthetics in 2017.

2. Infrastructure

Last year, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the regulations on the scope of Infrastructure and Public Utilities projects that must be tendered, requiring that from June 6, 2018, five types of projects, including railways, highways, pipelines, water conservancy and urban rail, must be tendered. As an important type of engineering materials, the varieties, specifications, and functions of geotechnical textile synthetic materials have developed rapidly, and the number and scope of applications in infrastructure fields such as railways, highways, water conservancy, urban construction and municipal administration have continued to expand. The reform policy has promoted bidding and bidding. Work to create a new situation. There are also a number of favorable factors such as the promulgation of technical standards, which provide technical support and guarantee for the application of geotechnical materials, further standardize the domestic geotechnical materials market, form a good market atmosphere, and promote the stable, healthy and sustainable development of the industry.

3. Water conservancy development

The Ministry of Water Resources "Notice on Carrying out the Preparation of the 2018 Implementation Plan for the Connection of National Rivers, Lakes and Reservoir Water System", focusing on the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Economic Belt, National Ecological Civilization Experimental Zone and other regions, through ecological dredging of rivers and lakes, new connecting channels, Ecological slope protection, coastal zone management, etc., promote water flow and improve the water ecological environment. This is another good news for the geotechnical textile synthetic materials market.

4. Garbage disposal

According to US media reports, from 2018 to 2050, the rate of human waste production is expected to be more than twice the rate of population growth. The EU's upcoming Single-Use Plastics Directive has classified wet wipes as one of the top 10 plastic pollutants on European beaches.

From January 1, 2018, China banned the import of "foreign garbage". From July 1, 2019, the Shanghai Municipal Domestic Waste Management Regulations were formally implemented, and Shanghai began to implement compulsory waste classification. The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development announced that it will implement garbage classification in 46 key cities across the country. Among them, 9 cities including Beijing have issued regulations on domestic waste management, clearly incorporating garbage classification into the legal framework. The "global problem" of waste disposal has also expanded the market application of geotechnical textile synthetic materials.
