In the run-up to the exhibition, Frederic Jacquin, senior vice-president of Elkem Silicones, spoke with China Daily about the company's take on the Chinese market, and its determination to lend further support to the Chinese government and enterprises alike in moving toward a circular economy and sustainable industry, reducing their environmental footprint and restructuring the end markets on the supply front.
