Sinopharm Group Tongjitang (Guizhou) Pharmaceuticals Co, a State-owned high-tech enterprise in the Guiyang Economic and Technological Development Zone (GETDZ) – located in Guiyang, capital city of Southwest China's Guizhou province – recently celebrated a milestone event.
The company reportedly came through the new cleaner-production audit conducted by the Guizhou Environment & Engineering Appraisal Center with flying colors, making the GETDZ the first zone in Guiyang to meet the assessments for the mandatory implementation of cleaner production.
The expert team at the center conducted an on-site inspection, investigating the company's sewage treatment plant, energy management system for its power room and its temporary storeroom for hazardous waste.
The team also checked the company's implementation of a high-cost scheme for clean output. The experts evaluated and verified the implementation effects of the company's 14 cleaner production plans, giving them their approval.
The experts lauded the company for its high attention to clean production, full implementation of effective measures and the wide participation of its workers. In addition, the Guiyang municipal bureau of ecology and environment highly commended the GETDZ's efforts towards clean production.
Moving forwards, the GETDZ will urge more companies to take corrective action at the request of the environment authorities and experts.
Plans are for it to also guide companies to undertake cleaner production as standard, avoid invalid energy consumption and increase the efficiency of materials and energy use, in a bid to save energy, reduce consumption and decrease pollution.
