1 · What it gives

Implantable nerve-stimulation products replace conventional medication-only treatment for advanced Parkinson’s disease and reduce the need for secondary surgery to replace electrodes. They are at commercial scale in China, with various innovative products approved for marketing between 2022 and 2024.

2 · What it replaces 6

D1Bio-based plasticizers — epoxidized soybean/linseed oil (ESBO), citrate esters (ATBC), isosorbide diesters, castor-oil derivatives — instead of ortho-phthalates (DEHP, DBP, BBP, DIBP) in PVC
Replaces: Low-molecular-weight ortho-phthalate plasticizers in flexible PVC (flooring, cables, films, toys, medical tubing, food-contact gaskets)
CHEM
D1Fermentation (stainless and single-use bioreactors, solid-state reactors) and downstream equipment (centrifuges, filtration, spray and fluid-bed drying, formulation) for local production of enzymes, microbial products and fermentation ingredients instead of chemical-synthesis plants and imports
Replaces: Chemical-synthesis routes and imports for the products in FI-, FD-, I- and A-series articles (enzymes, organic acids, vitamins, microbial …
EAC
D3Agricultural spraying drones instead of knapsack and manned aerial spraying
Replaces: Manual knapsack spraying, tractor spraying in small or wet fields, and manned aircraft/helicopter spraying
EAC
D0Bacteriophage therapy for bacterial disease in fish and shrimp farming instead of medicated-feed antibiotics
Replaces: Antibiotics in medicated feed and bath treatments - oxytetracycline, florfenicol, oxolinic acid, enrofloxacin, sulfonamide-trimethoprim …
VET
D2Bumblebee pollination instead of hormone sprays and manual vibration in greenhouse tomatoes
Replaces: Fruit-setting hormone sprays (synthetic auxins such as 4-CPA / tomatotone) and labour-intensive manual flower vibration in greenhouse …
MACRO
D2Copper (and nickel/cobalt) recovery from low-grade and secondary sulfide ores by heap and dump bioleaching + SX-EW — instead of concentration and smelting
Replaces: Pyrometallurgical smelting of sulfide concentrates (SO2, arsenic, heavy-metal emissions) for low-grade ores that would otherwise be …
