/PRZWT/From breakthroughs in plant wax technology to carbon reduction throughout the entire industrial chain, Qingdao Kingking is demonstrating with solid actions that environmental protection and business can achieve a win-win situation.
Today, as green and low-carbon development has become a global consensus, Qingdao Kingking Applied Chemical Co., Ltd. takes technological innovation as its driving force, deeply integrating the concept of sustainable development into every aspect of product research and development, manufacturing and supply chain management. Through a series of substantive measures, it leads the green revolution in the home fragrance industry.
Focusing on the research and development of green candle materials, breakthroughs in plant wax technology continue
Qingdao Kingking initiated the research and development of plant wax substrates as early as 2008, dedicated to breaking through the technical limitations of traditional paraffin wax, which relies on fossil energy and has high carbon emissions.
Through cooperation with universities, the company has successfully developed plant wax-based formulas with natural plant ingredients such as palm oil, soybean oil and coconut oil as the core, solving industry problems such as low melting point and poor combustion stability of plant wax. It is estimated that for every 1 kilogram of plant-based wax candles burned, the carbon footprint is reduced by approximately 30% compared to paraffin wax. Through in-depth research on soy wax, King has obtained an invention patent for "A Manufacturing Process of 100% Soy Wax Candles", and continuously promotes the production and application of soy wax technology, constantly reducing the carbon emissions and carbon footprint of fragrance products.
In 2025, Qingdao Kingking was granted two more national invention patents - "A Scented Cup Wax and Its Preparation Method" and "An Emulsified Snowflake Wax and Its Preparation Method". Among them, the revolutionary "100% Pure Plant Wax Penetrating Fragrance Technology" achieves micro-nano dispersion of fragrance essence through ultra-high-speed shear emulsification process and molecular interface reorganization technology, and builds an interpenetrating network structure between fragrance and wax base, increasing the fragrance slow-release efficiency to 250% of the benchmark value and extending the fragrance perception time to 2.3 times that of traditional products.
Build an environmentally friendly packaging system and explore sustainable detail innovations
Qingdao Kingking has extended the concept of sustainability to the product packaging process and established a green packaging system from production to recycling. Qingdao Kingking was the first in the industry to promote recyclable and degradable packaging materials. Kingking uses FSC-certified eco-friendly paper and plant-based inks to print labels, reducing the use of plastic packaging materials and carbon emissions from product outer packaging. The wax cups are made of recycled glass and aluminum containers, reducing the consumption of virgin materials.
Through a series of measures such as vigorously using green packaging materials and recyclable materials, Kingking has significantly reduced the use of plastic in the production and packaging processes of its products, further lowering the carbon emissions throughout the product life cycle. This practice not only reduces the environmental costs of enterprises, but also drives upstream and downstream suppliers to join the low-carbon transformation together.
The practice of building a green production system towards a zero-carbon factory
Qingdao Kingking has fully integrated green energy and carbon management into its production system and is steadily advancing the realization of its carbon neutrality goal through multiple substantive measures.
The company introduced a photovoltaic power generation project in Jinwang Industrial Park as early as 2012 and built a 1.5MWp photovoltaic power station. In 2023, a new 1.0MWp photovoltaic power station was built. In 2024, the company will generate 2.45 million kilowatt-hours of green electricity through photovoltaic systems, reducing carbon emissions by over 1,700 tons annually. At the same time, by vigorously purchasing green electricity, the carbon footprint in the production process can be further reduced. For the inevitable carbon emissions, Qingdao Kingking has achieved the goal of building a "carbon-neutral" factory by offsetting carbon emissions through ecological carbon sinks.
The green and innovative products of Qingdao Kingking have not only achieved environmental benefits but also won high recognition from the market, proving the feasibility of a win-win situation between environmental protection and business. With outstanding environmental protection performance and quality.
From material innovation to packaging recycling, from carbon reduction in production to terminal consumption, Qingdao Kingking has built a complete green industrial chain. With the global awakening of environmental protection consumption awareness, Qingdao Kingking, this green factory, will continue to write a benchmark chapter for Chinese brands in the global wave of sustainable development.
