Social Responsibility
Environmental Protection

YRPG is always valuing environmental protection and following international environmental standards. We are endeavoring to build a green factory, promote green production and cultivate green culture by building a green ecological industrial park. We have also set up anenvironmental protection taskforce to evaluate the environmental standards according to laws and regulations every year. Having invested hundreds of million yuan on importing environment-friendly equipment and technologies and introduced clean production evaluation system and ISO14001 environmental management system, we manage to minimize the environment impact from the beginning to the end of production and gain public confidence.

Wastewater Treatment:Wastewater from production must be processed in the wastewater treatment system of YRPG to meet Standards for Wastewater from Mixed Preparation Production before it is discharged.

Solid Waste Treatment:Hazardous solid wastesaretransferred to professional companies for treatment; general recyclable solid wastesare recycled by accredited units; household garbagesare disposed by Council of Gaogang District.

Exhaust Treatment:We entrust Taizhou Environmental Protection Bureau with the monitoring of exhaust and our exhaust treatment meets the standards.

Over the past years, we have won a series of honors and credentials, such as Environment Friendly Company, Excellent Company for Environmental Protection in Jiangsu, Taizhou Green Company, Taizhou Model Company for Environmental Protection. These honors are acknowledgement of YRPG's social responsibility and witness of our green footprint.
