Driving Sustainable Innovation Across Our Operations
LITAI thermoforming machines drive sustainable production by reducing waste, extending material lifecycles, and enabling energy-efficient, circular practices. Even discarded sheets and plastic products can be recycled and reused, maximizing resource efficiency and meeting global sustainability standards. See below for an illustration of our recycling process.

Heating Design
Intelligent Energy-Saving Systems
Equipped with IE5 high-efficiency servo motors, our entire equipment line achieves up to 32% energy savings. The intelligent temperature control system further cuts heat loss by 41%, while precision German Elstein heating tiles ensure even heating. Optimized in a 4×11 + 6×13 configuration, the heating layout maximizes energy efficiency, enabling sustainable production and consistent product quality for our customers.
Plastic Cups from Eco-Friendly Materials
Innovative Sustainable Materials
We have developed specialized forming processes for PLA biodegradable materials and produced a corn starch-PP composite, promoting the use of renewable raw materials. Building on this, post-consumer recycled plastics now make up 27.6% of our material usage, further reducing resource waste. In addition, by replacing traditional materials with high-performance, eco-friendly plastics, we continuously enhance product performance while supporting sustainable production.

Circular Economy Practices
Circular Economy in Our Production
We have implemented an automated scrap recycling system, achieving a 90.3% material utilization rate. Our extrusion production lines operate at 100% efficiency, while refurbished equipment extends service life by 5–8 years, maximizing resource use. Recovered plastic scrap is actively recycled and reused in production, reducing waste and supporting circular economy practices.
