Zhejiang Daily follows | Dyeing Workshop can also be so beautiful! Baofang Printing and Dyeing Builds a Green Factory

Vines entwine under the roof, water flows through the rockeries, and beside the automated production line that rumbles, landscape lights twinkle among the tree trunks... Recently, when reporters walked into the factory area of Zhejiang Baofang Printing and Dyeing Co., Ltd. located in Ma'an Street, Keqiao District, Shaoxing City, it was like stepping into a "big garden".

Adhering to the concept of "clean production and green development", Baofang Printing and Dyeing has been renovating its green factory since 2012, investing 120 million yuan to introduce a high-end green production line.

After the workshop is no longer high pollution, high temperature, and high manpower, the employees' enthusiasm is even stronger, "said Li Ruizong, the secretary of the party branch of the company, after installing central air conditioning in the reorganized workshop.

Looking back on the road of green factory transformation, what impressed Li Ruizong the most was that the company tightened its belt for three years and transformed all the production lines that relied on real wax printing for survival into imitation wax printing production lines with less environmental pollution.

It is reported that Baofang Printing and Dyeing only produces wax dyed fabrics. With over 10 years of low profits and high sales, we have accumulated 5 genuine wax printing production lines. But in 2012, with the launch of the green factory renovation plan, these production lines that used a large amount of wax in dyeing became the biggest "roadblock".

Change or not change? There are two distinct factions within the company. Those who support the change believe that environmental protection requirements are increasing day by day, and green high-end is the general direction of the printing and dyeing industry. Those who do not agree with the change also have sufficient reasons. True wax printing is the mainstream technology in the industry, so there is no need to put pressure on oneself and lose vitality. Moreover, the company has just spent nearly ten million yuan to introduce two new production lines, which have become waste products. It is a pity.

In the end, the chairman made the decision: to save 150 million yuan and spend 3 years to improve. According to the Keqiao District Printing and Dyeing Industry Agglomeration and Upgrading Project, 80% of the printing and dyeing enterprises in the district will be clustered and upgraded in 2015, and the subsidy for enterprise technological transformation will also be increased to 15%. "Li Ruizong said," The government's heroic determination has also given us peace of mind

The fact proves that this decision was right, "Li Ruizong said as he walked on the shiny stainless steel road, pointing to the workshop without any printing and dyeing wastewater or pungent odor

Data shows that through technological transformation, the energy consumption of Baofang printing and dyeing has been reduced by 50%, the efficiency has been improved by 30%, and the product quality has been unanimously recognized by customers. The existing production capacity has doubled compared to 2012, and in 2019, the company's output value reached 1.14 billion yuan. In order to enable employees to see, touch, and share the green development of the enterprise, while updating the production line, the company has also invested tens of millions of yuan in the "garden style" upgrade and transformation of all workshops and living areas.

At present, the Baofang printing and dyeing factory area is covered in green colors, and some fragrant trees have already borne fruit. In the employee dormitory area, between pavilions and bridges, supporting facilities such as supermarkets, outdoor cinemas, children's playgrounds, basketball courts, and reading rooms are arranged in a staggered manner.
