With the improvement of production lines, outdated facilities have been eliminated, production waste and energy consumption have been reduced, and product quality, cost control and production efficiency have been greatly improved.
Zhang Yuanyi, an engineer at the company, said that in the past, high energy consumption and high pollution were glaring problems at the plant. After readjusting the energy structure, backward production capacity was eliminated and "green energy" was injected, he said.

"We insist on a green development path, are accelerating the pace of green manufacturing transformation, contributing to the construction of a beautiful China, and making all employees feel the beauty of green mountains, the beauty of development and the beauty of life, " said Gao.
