Specializing in the R&D, production, and sales of pine chemicals
On July 29, 2026, the 5th International Green Zero Carbon Festival and 2026 ESG Leaders Summit was held in Shanghai under the theme “Advancing Green Development for a Zero-Carbon Future.” Guangdong Komo Group Co., Ltd. (KOMO) received the 2026 Green Materials Innovation and Application Award in recognition of its achievements in the development and innovative application of low-carbon materials.
The award recognizes companies that demonstrate excellence in developing and applying sustainable materials that reduce environmental impact, improve resource efficiency, and support greener industrial development. Award-winning projects demonstrate progress in areas such as the circular economy, energy efficiency, emissions reduction, biodegradability, and environmentally responsible product development. This recognition highlights KOMO’s innovation capabilities and industry leadership in bio-based rosin resins.
Unlocking the Potential of Natural Gum Rosin
As a National High-Tech Enterprise specializing in the R&D, production, and sale of rosin, turpentine, and their derivatives, KOMO transforms renewable oleoresin into high-performance, value-added sustainable materials.
KOMO’s rosin resins provide properties such as tackification and film formation and are widely used in adhesives, inks, coatings, rubber, and plastics, with growing applications in electronic soldering fluxes, medical consumables, and cosmetics.
Compared with petroleum-based alternatives, KOMO’s rosin-based tackifying resins offer advantages including renewable natural feedstocks, high bio-based content, and biodegradability, providing a more sustainable material option for downstream industries.
Advancing Sustainable Innovation Through International Certification
Technological innovation is a core driver of KOMO’s growth. The company operates a provincial engineering technology research center and an enterprise technology center, supported by a highly qualified R&D team and partnerships with leading universities and research institutions.
A key innovation behind this award is KOMO’s KBD series of biodegradable rosin resins. Designed for green and low-carbon applications, the series complies with the European industrial compostability standard EN 13432 and has earned the European Seedling certification mark.
KBD resins can biodegrade and disintegrate under industrial composting conditions, making them particularly suitable for disposable hygiene products and compostable packaging. With a low carbon footprint, broad compatibility with polymers and elastomers, and good thermal stability, the series provides a high-performance, environmentally responsible tackifying solution for sustainable adhesives and can replace selected petroleum-based tackifiers.
Supporting China’s Dual-Carbon Goals Across the Value Chain
Green and low-carbon development and action on climate change have become global priorities. China’s goals of reaching peak carbon emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060 provide a clear direction for businesses pursuing a greener transition. In support of these “dual-carbon” goals, KOMO has integrated green and low-carbon development into its corporate strategy and applies sustainability principles across its value chain, from raw material sourcing to manufacturing and operations. KOMO earned an EcoVadis Gold Medal for two consecutive years, in 2025 and 2026.
In manufacturing, KOMO advances cleaner production and improves energy efficiency through process optimization and equipment upgrades, helping reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. In product development, the company continues to use pine oleoresin as a core renewable feedstock and develops products with high bio-based content, providing customers with lower-carbon tackifying solutions.
KOMO also contributes to rural revitalization and ecological conservation by promoting sustainable oleoresin tapping, supporting economic development in forest communities while creating economic, social, and environmental value.
Looking ahead, KOMO will build on this recognition to accelerate sustainable materials innovation and develop more high-performance, environmentally responsible rosin derivatives. The company will continue to advance the pine chemicals industry toward a greener, smarter, and more efficient future while bringing sustainable material solutions from China to customers and markets worldwide.
