This performance evaluation is conducted in accordance with the "Rizhao City Key Laboratory Management Measures", covering 113 city key laboratories approved and built since 2018. The comprehensive assessment is carried out from multiple dimensions such as research level and contribution, team building and talent training, openness and communication, operation and management, and the transfer and transformation of achievements and serving the development of the local economy. The aim is to promote the high-quality and standardized operation of scientific and technological innovation platforms and provide core technological support for the development of regional industries. As a benchmark enterprise in the paper industry, Asia-Pacific Senbo has always regarded the key laboratory as the core carrier of technological innovation since its approval for construction, continuously increasing R&D investment, and has built an innovation system deeply integrated with industry, education, and research.
With the support of the key laboratory platform, Asia-Pacific Senbo has been deeply committed to the "integrated pulp and paper fiber" strategy, focusing on key technological research in the field of pulp and paper making, and has achieved a series of breakthrough results. By 2025, a number of scientific and technological achievements led by the laboratory have been appraised by experts, covering key areas such as low-carbon production technology, high-end paper product research and development, and environmental technology upgrading. Of particular note is the laboratory's research and development of the core production technology of bleached sulfite wood pulp, which not only fills the technological gap in the industry but also achieves significant economic and environmental value, helping enterprises achieve the green development goal of "increasing production without increasing pollution".
In terms of technology transfer and industrial empowerment, the laboratory has always adhered to the development concept of "innovation chain docking with the industrial chain", and quickly transforms scientific research achievements into actual productive forces. The production process optimization project led by the laboratory has reduced the energy and water consumption of the production line, and promoted the production line of the enterprise to achieve efficient and intelligent operation.
Talent is the first resource for innovation. The Asia-Pacific Senbo Key Laboratory always focuses on the construction of innovative teams, and through carrying out activities such as school-enterprise cooperation and technology exchange, it has established a deep cooperative relationship with universities such as Qilu Industrial University (Shandong Academy of Sciences), forming a "production, study, research, and application" collaborative innovation pattern. It not only cultivates a large number of technical backbones for enterprises but also injects talent power into the high-quality development of the pulp and paper industry in Rizhao City.
The next step, enterprises will take this evaluation as an opportunity, continuously strengthen the construction of key laboratories, focus on cutting-edge fields to carry out technological research, accelerate the transformation and application of innovative achievements, deepen the collaborative innovation of industry, university and research institute, and give full play to the platform radiation effect of key laboratories, to contribute more scientific and technological strength to the construction of a modern industrial system in Rizhao City and to promote the high-quality development of the pulp and paper industry.
