In 2025, Jingjiang city in East China's Jiangsu province, unfailingly promoted its efforts to construct a "zero-waste city", with four new "zero-waste factories" completed.
Advancing the construction of "zero-waste factories" is a crucial initiative for the city to practice the green development concept and deepen its ecological civilization efforts, aiming to achieve a green transformation across the entire production-to-disposal chain by establishing an internal circular economy system within enterprises.
