Equivalent to planting 100000 trees every year! Zhongrong Printing Green Factory is refined in this way
Awarded as "National Green Factory" and "National Green Supply Chain Management Enterprise"; Certified by ISO9001 quality management system, ISO14001 environmental management system, ISO45001 occupational health and safety management system, BRCGS packaging materials and other systems; Ranked on the CDP Environmental Information Disclosure A-level list in 2024; Awarded as a demonstration unit of "No Waste Factory" in Zhongshan City
This is a microcosm of the achievements of the "Green Factory" construction of Zhongrong Printing Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Zhongrong Co., Ltd.") in Zhongshan Torch High tech Zone. In recent years, Zhongrong Co., Ltd. has driven the company to embark on a low-carbon, intelligent, and sustainable green path through technological innovation, energy-saving transformation, and full life cycle management.
Green factory is a new type of environmentally friendly factory that achieves land intensification, harmless raw materials, clean production, waste resource utilization, and low-carbon energy. By selecting technology to construct and transform the factory, laying out reasonable energy and material flow paths, establishing a resource recycling mechanism, it minimizes resource consumption, harmful substance production, pollutant emissions, and improves production and operation efficiency, achieving sustainable green development of the factory.
Zhongrong Co., Ltd
How to reduce environmental burden from the source through green technology and design? The relevant person in charge of Zhongrong Co., Ltd. introduced that the company has an industry-leading intelligent factory that monitors the real-time consumption of resources such as water, electricity, and gas; Investing over 3% of the annual operating revenue in research and development, continuously breaking through in fields such as green materials, green design, digital printing, and intelligent production; Incorporate environmental protection concepts into the product design phase, prioritize the use of renewable and biodegradable materials, and reduce the use of plastics, solvents, and other materials; The program manager calculates the carbon footprint and optimizes the material combination during the program planning.
In terms of green material production, Zhongrong Group produces recycled paper accounting for over 30%, environmentally friendly ink accounting for over 95%, and water-based adhesive accounting for over 98%. The company covers the entire life cycle of product manufacturing from paper-based environmentally friendly materials, green printing, renewable energy utilization, and three waste treatment, and implements a green and sustainable development strategy, "said the relevant person in charge of Zhongrong Co., Ltd.
Zhongrong Group also promotes emission reduction of waste gas from three aspects: source control, process control, and end of pipe treatment. Gradually phasing out and replacing high VOCs, highly toxic and harmful raw materials, using environmentally friendly inks and adhesives to ensure emissions reduction at the source; Construct on-site standard factory buildings, set up closed micro negative pressure workshops and closed negative pressure collection process collection technology to achieve the collection of receivables and reduce unorganized emissions in the production process; The waste production unit is equipped with specialized collection devices and end of pipe disposal facilities, which are interlocked with production equipment and equipped with online current monitoring to ensure effective operation of end of pipe treatment.
In terms of carbon inventory, Zhongrong Group has implemented the ISO14064 greenhouse gas verification system, achieving a 1+2 emission reduction of 25.8% in 2024 compared to 2022; In terms of solid waste reduction benefits, a total of 4.2 million kW · h of electricity was saved and 1200 tons of solid waste were reduced.
At present, Zhongrong Group has built 3 photovoltaic power generation base stations, with an annual power generation of over 5 million kW · h and an annual emission reduction of over 3000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent; And through measures such as waste heat recovery, LED lighting renovation, and frequency conversion technology application, the average annual energy savings are over 15%. Taking the Zhongshan production base as an example, by installing solar photovoltaic power generation systems, the annual carbon emissions can be reduced by over 2000 tons, equivalent to planting 100000 trees.
From traditional manufacturing to green intelligent manufacturing, Zhongrong Group's green factory model not only achieves cost reduction and efficiency improvement, but also provides a replicable sample for the industry. The relevant person in charge of Zhongrong Shares stated that under the "dual carbon" goal, they will write a new chapter of high-quality development of green intelligent manufacturing with a pioneering attitude.
