Titled "Yongchun Takes on the Critical Task of Protecting Its Water Source Area: Exploring New Paths for Industrial Development—A 'Point-Driven Breakthrough' in Green Industry"

Reporting that Yongchun is making waves

A unique path toward green industrial development

The Dongxi River, which flows through Yongchun, is the lifeblood of the people of Quanzhou. As the river reaches Jiudu in Nan'an and winds through the Shanmei Gorge, locals built dams to store water, creating the Shanmei Reservoir. Today, the Shanmei Reservoir plays a critical role in ensuring flood protection for more than 3 million people downstream and providing a reliable water supply to over 6 million others. It also serves as the primary source of water for Fujian’s project supplying water to Kinmen Island.

Yongchun County bears the critical responsibility of protecting its water sources, yet its industrial economic development faces numerous environmental constraints. As Yongchun’s industrial foundation remains relatively weak amid the county’s broader economic growth, how can it carve out a new identity and chart a fresh course for itself? And more importantly, how can the county cultivate new forms of productive forces to drive sustainable progress?

For Yongchun, if the path of traditional industry doesn’t work, then it’s time to forge a new one—embracing modern, green industry instead.

Fujian Yangzhu New Materials Technology Co., Ltd., located in Penghu Town, Yongchun County, is a leading enterprise in China’s national "bamboo-for-plastic" new materials sector. At the company’s product showroom, reporters spotted a bold slogan: "One bamboo stalk ends global white pollution." This powerful statement underscores Yangzhu’s commitment to being an environmentally friendly, eco-conscious business.

In the bamboo raw-material processing workshop, reporters observed bags of bamboo powder being finely ground into bamboo granules using advanced ultra-micro technology. Meanwhile, in another workshop, these bamboo granules are fed into a specialized machine, where they undergo a "blown-film" process, resulting in delicate, feather-light, biodegradable films that unfold before our eyes. The company’s first-phase production line, featuring six bamboo fiber-based biodegradable film production lines, is already fully operational, while construction of the second-phase facility is well underway and expected to begin operations by the end of the year.

Yangzhu Company General Manager Rao Shizhen told reporters that recently, executives from several major courier companies—including ZTO, STO, and Yunda—visited to explore the possibility of adopting bamboo-fiber biodegradable film packaging bags, aiming to address the pressing environmental challenges facing both the logistics and packaging industries. It’s understood that conventional plastic packaging bags often contribute to white pollution, making "replacing plastic with bamboo" one of the key breakthroughs in the global eco-friendly manufacturing sector. With vast market potential, the domestic market alone is already worth over 20 billion yuan annually.

Although Yangzhu Company is based in the mountain city of Yongchun, it has leveraged technological innovation to achieve several "global firsts": the world's first technology for preparing bamboo-fiber ultra-nano micro-powder, the world's first intelligent laser-based dynamic grading system for bamboo fibers, the world's first dynamic melt-molding process for bamboo fibers, and the world's first fully bio-modified technology for bamboo fibers.

Firmly committed, using bamboo as our brush to paint our green original aspiration.

"‘A Bamboo Stick Ends Global White Pollution’ is not just a bold slogan displayed in the exhibition hall—it’s a deeply ingrained green DNA and unwavering belief that runs through the very essence of our company. Faced with the global challenge of white pollution, Yangzhu Technology chose no shortcuts; instead, we’ve steadfastly committed ourselves to pioneering the ‘bamboo-for-plastic’ innovation as our path forward in technological breakthroughs. The report clearly highlights our core technological strengths: the world’s first-ever technology for preparing ultra-nanoscale bamboo fiber powder, enabling unprecedentedly fine particle refinement; the world’s first intelligent laser-based dynamic grading system for bamboo fibers, ensuring precise control over raw material quality; the world’s first dynamic melt-molding process for bamboo fibers, resulting in biodegradable films that are as thin as a feather; and the world’s first full-biological modification technology for bamboo fibers, guaranteeing that our final products can fully return to nature. These four groundbreaking ‘global firsts’ stand as the ultimate testament to Yangzhu’s relentless dedication to green tech and its courage to venture into uncharted territory—fueling our confidence and solidifying our leadership in the industry.”

Point-based breakthroughs: Small adjustments spark major transformations

Yangzhu Technology’s rise stands as a vivid example of Yongchun’s commitment to "point-based breakthroughs" in developing green industry. Rather than chasing broad, all-encompassing goals, Yangzhu Technology has precisely focused on the niche market of "bamboo-fiber biodegradable films," leveraging its core technology to achieve impactful, single-point innovation. A report from Fujian Daily vividly captures the company’s industrialization journey: Phase I, featuring six production lines, is already fully operational, continuously delivering eco-friendly film materials; meanwhile, construction of Phase II facilities is in full swing and expected to ramp up by year-end, signaling an even greater leap in both production capacity and market influence. The company’s market potential has been firmly validated—major logistics giants like ZTO, STO, and Yunda have already visited for inspections and are actively planning to procure Yangzhu Technology’s bamboo-fiber degradable packaging bags, directly addressing the longstanding environmental challenges plaguing the express delivery and packaging industries. With China’s domestic market demanding over 20 billion yuan annually, Yangzhu Technology has strategically positioned itself, starting from its hometown in Yongchun Mountain City, and successfully made a critical breakthrough in the green industry landscape—with tangible products and cutting-edge technology that turn what might seem like a "small niche" into a transformative "big story."

Adapting to local conditions, integrating green industries to empower the path of revitalization

Yangzhu Technology's success is rooted in Yongchun's precise positioning of developing green industries tailored to local conditions.

Using locally available resources to turn assets into revenue streams: Yongchun's abundant bamboo forests provide Yangzhu Technology with a stable, sustainable source of raw materials. The company's growth has directly expanded income opportunities for local bamboo farmers, transforming the lush green bamboo groves across the mountains into a true "green bank" that boosts villagers' prosperity.

Rooted in the local community, with workshops now right at people's doorsteps: As production lines continue to expand and factory construction accelerates, Yangzhu Technology has created numerous "at-your-doorstep" job opportunities and valuable technical training chances for locals. This allows villagers to stay connected to their hometowns while still earning a livelihood, enabling them to share in the benefits of industrial growth.

The eco-economic win-win: The thriving "bamboo-for-plastic" industry in Yongchun perfectly embodies the philosophy that "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets." Here, ecological conservation and economic development are harmoniously aligned, paving the way for a uniquely Yongchun-style green rise.

Yangzhu Technology, wielding technology as its plow, has deeply cultivated the bamboo forests and written not only the inspiring growth story of an eco-friendly tech enterprise on Yongchun’s land—but also a vibrant testament to how technology can empower rural revitalization.
