China to Turn Its Largest Sugar Factory into Green ZoneChina will invest a total of 3.6 billion yuan (US$437 million) in the coming five years to turn its largest sugar factory in Guigang City, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, into a model ecological industrial zone.Through the construction of the zone, China is seeking a new mode in the development of the sugar industry which usually produces serious environmental pollution, said Song Ruixiang, vice director of the State Environmental Protection Administration. Guigang is a major sugar production base in China. Its sugar output accounts for over 40 percent of China's total. The industrial zone will combine sugarcane land, a sugar factory, and alcohol, paper-making and thermal power plants together in order to increase the utilization rate of resources and minimize pollution. |
