Ruan Yinfu, the general manager of Yuyao Beidefu Vegetable Co., Ltd read out the Corporate Environmental Responsibility Commitment on the conference for environmental protection held by Huangbuzhen (a town in Yuyao) government. Later, he signed the commitment with solemnity.
“Environmental protection and pollution treatment can not be totally left to the government and we, as enterprises, should shoulder the responsibility spontaneously. We must observe our commitment as long as we have made promises.” said Ruan. Four other managers of Huangjiabu’s companies read the commitment in public and 30 companies in such five areas as dyeing and printing, electroplating, livestock culturing and waste water treatment signed the commitment.
As a key resettling area for environmental protection industries, Huangjiabu has seen a history of sixty years since the mustard tuber producing industry became the pillar industry of the town. The waste water has polluted the surrounding environment and its treatment has always been crucial to the environmental protection work.
Huangjiabu will invest six million yuan to build a system to gather all the waste water produced by making mustard tubers and it is supposed to be finished in March of 2014. Waste water of the four main mustard tuber processing companies and other private businesses will be gathered separately and be sent to the sewage treatment plant through the unified pipeline network, going through such procedures as hudrolysis and in-depth treatment before releasing to the nature.
Huang Guishu, the mayor of Huangjiabu Town, said the town would invest 150 million yuan within three years on six specialized programs including the treatment of mustard tuber sewage, the improvement of water environment, and the treatment of domestic sewage and so on, thus improving the ecological environment from the essence.
