On November 22 the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the “2023 Green Manufacturing List” results and Tianjin NorthGlass won the title of “national Green Factory.”
The establishment of national green factories is an important part of the whole green manufacturing system in China. The approval of the national green factory is the result of the concept of green development. It is also another vivid practice of NorthGlass to accelerate the implementation of green transformation and upgrading, promote the industrial structure to “excellent,” development model to “green” and economic quality to “high.”
In addition to this title, Tianjin NorthGlass also received the Environmental Product Statement – EPD Report. EPD reports are based on international standards such as ISO 14025 and EN 15804, which contain environmental data related to products, such as energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, water utilization and other resource consumption.
Yang Yuanxi, deputy general manager of the Glass Deep Processing Division of NorthGlass, said, “As a leader in the glass deep processing and manufacturing industry, NorthGlass adheres to the sustainable development strategy, actively responds to the two-carbon policy and constantly puts it into practice in products and management to promote energy conservation and emission reduction.
“The EPD report helps us to integrate with the international standards, explore the international market, remove green trade barriers and meet higher requirements of global natural environmental protection.”
Dr. Zhu Jun, chief technology officer of the report, said, “NorthGlass has made remarkable achievements in the industry, and its forward-looking vision in sustainable development strategy is admirable. This EPD report will provide green identity support for Tianjin NorthGlass series products, effectively deal with the EU Carbon Border Regulation Mechanism (CBAM) and grasp the new opportunities of the new international trade situation.”
In October this year, Tianjin NorthGlass also obtained the Hong Kong CIC Green Product Certification. CIC (Construction Industry Council) is a Hong Kong agency dedicated to promoting the sustainable development of the construction and construction industries. The CIC green product certification represents Tianjin NorthGlass’s commitment and responsibility to environmental protection
