Red Avenue New Materials adheres to the development strategy of "One Body and Two Wings": "One Body" is for special materials for automobiles/tires, and "Two Wings" deploy new business electronic materials and biodegradable materials. The three business segments coordinate to drive the development, like three arrows firing at the same time. Adhering to the vision that "promoting the sustainable development of new materials in an innovative and responsible manner", in order to develop the degradable materials business in an all-round way, Tong Cheng has hired Academician Xuesi Chen as the chief scientist of the company's biodegradable materials sector.
