Jinjiang firms ramp up green efforts

Amid greater efforts by China to achieve its dual-carbon goals, enterprises in Jinjiang, a county-level city in Fujian province, are banking on innovation to alleviate pollution and reduce carbon emissions, focusing on textile printing and dyeing industries with high energy and water consumption.

A factory of Fujian Fynex Textile Science and Technology Co, located in the Jinjiang economic development zone, has put in place intelligent printing and dyeing equipment to treat sewage, recycle and purify waste gas, and recover waste heat.

The company's 36,000-square-meter rooftop solar photovoltaic system generates about 5 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. Wastewater treatment systems with new technologies allow for more than 50 percent reuse of sewage. Four sets of flue gas recycling equipment for efficient recycling and purification of exhaust gas and waste heat recovery can save 5,000 metric tons of standard coal per year.
