Jiu Ri New Materials has been awarded the “2020 Green Enterprise Management Award.”

　　Recently, the company was awarded the “2020 Green Enterprise Management Award” by China Environmental News for its remarkable progress in advancing green development and fulfilling its environmental and social responsibilities. According to reports, this award is presented to exemplary enterprises across various industries that have achieved outstanding results in implementing the green development philosophy, delivering social, economic, and environmental benefits, promoting harmonious development, actively participating in environmental public‑interest initiatives, and upholding their environmental and social responsibilities.

　　Green development is an essential requirement for building a high-quality, modernized economic system. As a benchmark enterprise in China’s photoinitiator industry, the company has consistently upheld the environmental philosophy that “lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets,” intensified innovation in green technologies, proactively phased out outdated production capacity, and established a rigorous system for environmental treatment and monitoring. To effectively manage the “three wastes,” the company entrusts licensed hazardous‑waste operators to properly handle hazardous waste generated during production and operations—such as distillation residues, sludge, filter cake, spent activated carbon, used packaging bags, and empty packaging drums—thereby minimizing environmental pollution to the greatest extent possible. Green development begins with raising awareness and strengthening understanding. The company has organized a series of legal‑risk training sessions on production and environmental safety, as well as essay contests on green and environmentally friendly themes, to disseminate policies and laws on ecological and environmental protection, and to encourage employees to take concrete actions—starting with themselves and their daily work—to advance environmental protection efforts.

　　In recent years, national and local authorities have successively introduced policies imposing stringent limits on VOC emissions in industries such as coatings and inks, while also encouraging the adoption and promotion of environmentally friendly products. UV coatings, with their low energy consumption, broad applicability, and high efficiency, have emerged as a key alternative to traditional solvent-based coatings. Free of volatile solvents and virtually emission‑free of VOCs, they align with national air‑quality standards and meet the public’s need for healthier living environments. In recent years, in response to national industrial policies mandating VOC reductions in downstream sectors—including conventional solvent‑based coatings, inks, and adhesives—the company has proactively pursued a green, low‑carbon, circular development path in the new materials field. By independently developing a range of core technologies centered on UV‑curable raw materials and formulations, the company has produced series of products such as photoinitiators that have effectively facilitated the transformation and upgrading of downstream industries.

　　The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly stated that we must advance green development, establish a legal framework and policy orientation to promote green production and consumption, develop green finance, and strengthen the energy‑saving and environmental‑protection industries, the clean‑production sector, and the clean‑energy industry. Promoting green development is an essential component of achieving high‑quality economic growth. Addressing the “three wastes,” reducing energy and resource consumption, advancing innovation in environmental protection technologies, and intensifying public awareness campaigns on ecological conservation all remain long‑term, arduous tasks. The company will continue to explore and implement pathways toward low‑carbon development, consistently enhance its environmental protection efforts, and contribute to the building of a Beautiful China.
