Zhejiang Tuna Environmental Science & Technology Co.Ltd(603177) on January 15, it was announced that Yuexin environmental protection, a wholly-owned subsidiary, received the hazardous waste operation license renewed by Zhejiang Provincial Department of ecological environment on January 14, 2022, the approved operation scale was expanded from “25000 tons / year” to “50000 tons / year”, and the approved operation category of hazardous waste was added “HW12 dye, coating waste, hw18 incineration residue and hw49 other wastes”.
The company said that the new hazardous waste business category approved this time will help the company further expand the business scope of hazardous waste business and play a positive role in future development.
The construction of waste free cities, the battle for pollution prevention and control, and the reform of hazardous waste supervision, utilization and disposal capacity. With the continuous implementation of hazardous waste environmental management policies, the market scale of hazardous waste disposal industry is expanding rapidly and is at the “tuyere” of the industry. In response, Zhejiang Tuna Environmental Science & Technology Co.Ltd(603177) Board Secretary Shen Xin said: “the resource utilization of hazardous wastes is the company’s key strategic sector and development direction, and is in the period of expansion and rise. In the future, the company will take the waste salt disposal project as the starting point to promote the \’Shaoxing experience\’ in Zhejiang and even the whole country.”
The “new project for the resource utilization and disposal of 50000 tons of waste salt residue per year” implemented by Yuexin environmental protection, a wholly-owned subsidiary, is committed to the collection, disposal and resource utilization of industrial waste salt in Zhejiang Province, and produces purified industrial salt products.
The project is carried out in stages. Phase I was officially put into operation in July last year, and basically met the design expectation. It has the resource utilization and disposal capacity of waste salt of 25000 tons / year. Up to now, the construction of phase II 25000 T / a production line has been completed and mass production has been successfully realized. The company’s waste salt project has an annual capacity of 50000 tons of waste salt residue resource utilization and disposal. At present, the maximum disposal capacity per day has reached 100 tons, and the annual contract tonnage has been signed is 33900 tons. According to Shen Xin, at present, the operation of the company’s waste salt project is carried out in an orderly manner. The phase I production line has basically realized full load production, and the newly-built phase II production line is constantly undergoing equipment commissioning and process optimization, so as to achieve full load production in the short term.
Pharmaceutical and chemical wastewater has the characteristics of difficult degradation, high salinity and complex composition. It is difficult to treat and poses a great threat to the environment. The waste salt project adopts the “low temperature oxygen free graded critical carbonization cracking furnace process” to realize the “harmless, reduction and resource” disposal of industrial waste salt. Through this technology, the components harmful to the environment and human body in the waste salt are removed, and the high-purity sodium chloride and sodium sulfate meeting the needs of industrial products are recovered, which can be directly sold as by-products.
It is understood that the rigid landfill is the main competitor of the company’s waste salt project, but at present, the number of rigid landfills in China is small and the landfill cost is high, resulting in that most of the waste salt of the enterprise has nowhere to be buried and cannot be buried. Compared with the simple harmless disposal, the resource utilization of waste salt not only improves the environment, but also improves the resource utilization efficiency, realizes the win-win of ecological, economic and social benefits, and is more encouraged and supported by the government.
“The new hazardous waste license has added three approved business categories of hazardous waste. In the future, the company’s target customers are not only pharmaceutical and chemical enterprises, but also customers such as printing and dyeing plants and incineration plants, which is conducive to the company’s business growth.” Shen Xin introduced that the company’s original main customers were Zhejiang Yongtai Technology Co .Ltd(002326) , Zhe Jiang Hua Hai Pharmaceuticalco.Ltd(600521) , Lianhe Chemical Technology Co.Ltd(002250) , Guobang Pharma Ltd(605507) , Zhejiang Tianyu Pharmaceutical Co.Ltd(300702) , Zhejiang Zhongxin Fluoride Materials Co.Ltd(002915) , Brother Enterprises Holding Co.Ltd(002562) and other large listed pharmaceutical and chemical enterprises. After the approval of the new license, the company’s business team actively approached potential customers in the printing and dyeing and incineration industries to discuss cooperation.
It is reported that the collection of hazardous waste disposal industry adopts the mode of “advance deposit, delivery and payment on delivery”. The industry market has high gross profit margin and good cash flow, which can provide the company with stable cash flow and high-quality profits, and become an important driving force for the company’s performance growth. Due to different payment methods, compared with the company’s traditional flue gas treatment business, the hazardous waste business can bring healthy and abundant cash flow and high deterministic income growth to the enterprise.
