Guian makes strong efforts to promote green development

Since the Guian New Area High-Quality Development Conference was convened in June, Guian New Area has been firmly focused on building an ecological civilization demonstration zone.

In the first half of the year, the output value of strategic emerging industries in Guian accounted for 92 percent of the total industrial output value above designated size, according to a press conference held on Sept 7.

This achievement resulted from the area's efforts to cultivate and develop a series of green factories at the national or provincial level, such as XtalPi, Dongjiang Technology Co, and Hengli Group, and to support the construction of national green data centers such as China Mobile and Huawei Cloud.

To promote the integration of waste sorting and recycling of renewable resources, Guian established 1,700 centralized garbage collection points and 32 convenient drop-off points, leading to a 100 percent rate of harmless waste treatment.

In terms of green consumption, Guian has carried out a series of promotional activities and issued 44,000 green consumption vouchers. In the first half of the year, the area's online retail sales hit 1.24 billion yuan ($170.73 million).

In addition, the area has also given full play to traditional and new media to publicize ecological civilization construction and environmental protection.
