"The ecological and environmental department insists on promoting on a comprehensive basis and following up on a point-to-point basis. Through the construction of a digital printing industrial park, it promotes the cluster development, transformation and upgrading of the printing and dyeing industry; it provides a full process of 'nanny-style' approval services to promote Leer Environment's collaborative cotton manufacturing. The demonstration production line has been successfully implemented, and these typical cases are worth learning from and learning from relevant departments in the district." Recently, Zhang Jianhua, member of the Standing Committee of the Nantong Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Tongzhou District Party Committee of Jiangsu Province, fully affirmed the efforts of the Tongzhou Ecological Environment Bureau of Nantong City to optimize the business environment during the district's industrial project observation and promotion activities.
Home textiles are a pillar industry in Tongzhou District, Nantong City, and printing and dyeing are an important link in the home textile industry chain. There are currently 30 printing and dyeing enterprises in Tongzhou District, mainly located in Xianfeng Street and Chuanjiang Town. Because the printing and dyeing industry has the characteristics of "double high" wastewater emission intensity and carbon emission intensity, the main reasons are that some printing and dyeing enterprises are small in scale, backward process equipment, and low in pollution control. According to calculations, among the top ten companies with carbon intensity in 2021, 9 are textile printing and dyeing companies.
With the development of the times and the progress of the industry, home textile printing and dyeing are also facing upgrades. In recent years, the Tongzhou Ecological Environment Bureau of Nantong City has actively explored the cluster development of the printing and dyeing industry and the green transformation of the industry. The completion of the Digital Printing Industrial Park is one of the fruits of hard work in the early stage. It provides strong support for improving local integration and industrial chain integration capabilities in the dyeing and finishing process, and promoting the low-carbon transformation and upgrading of the traditional home textile industry.
Compared with traditional printing, the overall pollutant emissions from digital printing have dropped by about 60%, and the overall energy consumption and carbon emissions have dropped by about 50%. In August 2023, Tongzhou District approved the establishment of the first digital printing industrial park, implementing industrial access to specific environmental management and control units. The pilot will further refine the management and control requirements for the development and utilization of resources in the printing and dyeing industry into specific environmental management and control units, guide the upgrading and transformation of existing enterprises and site selection of new enterprises, promote the "intelligent transformation and digital transformation" of home textile printing and dyeing links, and provide a demonstration for the cluster development and transformation and upgrading of the printing and dyeing industry.
Environmental protection assistance to enterprises should not only be promoted on the surface, but also follow up on the point. Adhering to the service concept of rescuing enterprise development, Nantong City Tongzhou Ecological Environment Bureau has deepened the series of activities of "Environment-Enterprise Docking and Ecological Empowerment" and actively served as a "waiter" for project construction. After understanding that Jiangsu Leer Environment Co., Ltd. had difficulties in independently developing fly ash resource technology to solve the problem of fly ash disposal, it took the initiative to take the lead and make every effort to ensure the implementation of the project. We have contacted provincial departments, municipal bureaus, sister counties and cities many times, led teams to visit China Environmental Protection Industry Association, Jiangsu Province Environmental Protection Group, and Chengdu City Ecological Environment Bureau. We have adopted tracking "nannies" services in project implementation, technology promotion, industrial development and other aspects, and promoted the entire chain, which not only promoted the smooth implementation of the Leer Environment Flying Ash Collaborative Cotton Making Demonstration Production Line. It has helped the company realize that the "technology and equipment for the preparation of rock wool resource from domestic waste incineration fly ash" has independent intellectual property rights and has become the industry standard leader. It has successfully bridged the bridge between Le 'er Environment and Jiangsu Province Environmental Protection Group to reach a framework cooperation agreement, and has also promoted the investment of 1.5 billion yuan. The demonstration project for manufacturing and application of resource equipment was successfully settled.
