Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development: Green Manufacturing Practice of Ruian Rongyuan Auto Parts

In the context of global advocacy of low-carbon economy and green development, Chinese auto parts manufacturers are accelerating their transformation to a sustainable model. As a pioneer in the industry, Ruian Rongyuan Auto Parts Co., Ltd. (Ruian Rongyuan Auto Parts Co., Ltd.) has continued to promote the construction of a green manufacturing system in recent years. Through technological innovation, energy optimization and recycling and other measures, Ruian has actively implemented environmental protection commitments and set a model for local enterprises on the road of sustainable development.

Ruian Rongyuan, founded in 2005, focuses on the R & D and production of automotive sealing strips, shock absorbers and interior components. Its products are widely used in mainstream vehicle manufacturers at home and abroad. With the continuous improvement of customers' requirements for environmental compliance, the company has launched the 'green factory' upgrade plan since 2018, fully introduced the ISO 14001 environmental management system, and implemented a refined energy consumption monitoring system in the production process to significantly reduce carbon emissions and water consumption per unit of output value.

In terms of raw material selection, Ryan Rongyuan prioritizes the use of recyclable or bio-based materials to gradually replace traditional petroleum-based rubber and plastics. Its newly developed low VOC (volatile organic compound) environmental protection sealing strip has successfully passed the IATF 16949 quality system certification, and has obtained batch orders from many new energy vehicle companies. The product not only improves the air quality in the car, but also significantly reduces harmful gas emissions in the production process.

In addition, the company has deployed photovoltaic power generation systems in the plant area, with an annual power generation capacity of more than 300000 degrees, meeting nearly 40% of daily electricity demand. At the same time, the completion of wastewater treatment and reclaimed water reuse system has increased the reuse rate of industrial water to more than 75%, greatly reducing the pressure on surrounding water resources.

Ruian Rongyuan also actively promotes green collaboration in the supply chain, requiring core suppliers to provide environmentally friendly materials that meet REACH and RoHS standards, and regularly conducts environmental performance assessments. The person in charge of the company said: 'Sustainable development is not only a social responsibility, but also a core component of the long-term competitiveness of enterprises. We hope to create a green industrial chain from raw materials to finished products through transparent management and continuous investment. '

With its outstanding performance in energy conservation, emission reduction and cleaner production, Ruian Rongyuan was awarded the title of "Zhejiang Green Manufacturing Demonstration Enterprise" in 2023 and was included in the list of key environmental protection benchmarking enterprises in Wenzhou. In the future, the company will continue to increase investment in research and development in the field of intelligent manufacturing and green technology, explore the application of hydrogen energy equipment and carbon footprint tracking technology, and strive to achieve the goal of carbon peak by 2030.

Today, when the global automobile industry is accelerating the transformation of electrification and intelligence, Ruian Rongyuan has explained how traditional manufacturing enterprises can achieve high-quality development through green innovation with practical actions, providing replicable practical experience for the sustainable future of China's auto parts industry.
