The decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on further comprehensively deepening reforms and promoting Chinese-style modernization clearly stated that we should improve the system and mechanism of developing new productive forces in accordance with local conditions, lead the optimization and upgrading of traditional industries with the improvement of national standards, and support Enterprises use digital intelligence technology and green technology to transform and upgrade traditional industries.
Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, is a pilot demonstration city for green and intelligent manufacturing in the country. Over the past 20 years, the concept of “lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets” was born in Huzhou and has been continuously expanded and deepened, leading Huzhou to embark on a unique green development path.
The Bamboo Sea is the most beautiful scenery in Anji, Huzhou. The million-acre bamboo forest is full of freshness, attracting tourists from all over the country.
As the “Hometown of Bamboo Forests in China”, Anji’s bamboo products have been mainly bamboo mats and bamboo floors for a long time in the past. At its peak, there were more than 2,000 bamboo product companies here, employing nearly 30,000 people. It once created nearly 10% of the country’s total bamboo industry output value with 1.8% of the country’s bamboo output.
Zhou Changping, Vice President of the National Bamboo Industry Research Institute: Later, with the changes in the market, for example, with the popularity of bamboo mats and air conditioners, the volume of the entire market has increased. Shrinking is directly reflected in factory orders.
The extensive production methods in the past not only destroyed the ecology, but also compressed industrial profit margins. As a traditional local pillar industry, one is connected to low-carbon environmental protection and the other is connected to industrial development. The transformation and upgrading of the bamboo industry is imminent.
Since 2005, Anji has been doing “bamboo articles” around the concept of “Two Mountains”, and to tell the truth, he really can’t agree with his mother’s opinion. Bamboo forest resources, actively promote the use of bamboo instead of plastic, use bamboo instead of wood, and constantly expand the scope of moso bambooapplication scenarios and explore new tracks for the development of traditional industries.
Zhou Jihui, project specialist of Anji County Development and Reform Bureau: We have indeed achieved a lot of results and have developed more than 3,000 bamboo products.
Liang Fenghui, the person in charge of a bamboo and wood product company in Anji County: This product is exported to France to pack chocolate, which is also an innovation. It is our traditional Anji bamboo mat craft. After weaving the mat, we cut it and assemble it to become such a product.
Through innovative ideas, bamboo mats have evolved into colorful food packaging boxes, giving traditional crafts a new life. The transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, in addition to innovative ideas, must also rely on technological innovation and rely on new quality productivity to achieve new development.
The CNC automatic bamboo breaking machine uses AI digital intelligence technology to realize continuous operations in multiple production and processing links, thereby assisting the large-scale mass production of products.
Zhang Yahui, Vice President of the National Bamboo Industry Research Institute: It used to be three sections. Now we have achieved continuous production through the development of this equipment. Only The production capacity of a work section has increased from only 5,000 cubic meters to 20,000 cubic meters.
Bamboo drinks, bamboo straws, bamboo keyboards, bamboo mice… Innovation , never ending. Today, Anji’s bamboo products have become ever-changing, ranging from disposable bamboo tableware to building materials and pipelines. The “key energy” of technology has given the bamboo industry more and more confidence to revitalize.
New productivity itself is green productivity. Anji has been approved to become a “National Bamboo Industry Demonstration Park”, successfully transforming ecological advantages into economic advantages.
Cai Jianming, Director of the Industrial Department of Huzhou Economic and Information Bureau, Zhejiang Province: “Green” is the first priority in transformation and development. Under the guidance of the “Two Mountains” concept, Huzhou insists on taking “green” as its top priority. The “background” of quality development is that when there is a conflict between the project and the environment, it is first subject to the environment; when there is a conflict between development and protection, it is first subject to protection.
A pole of green bamboo supports an economy. In 2005, the GDP of Anji was approximately 8.9 billion yuan;In 2023, the GDP of Anji region has exceeded 61.5 billion yuan, which is equivalent to recreating 7 Anjis in more than 10 years.
Currently, Huzhou has 66 national-level green factories and 38 national-level green supply chain management enterprises. “Green water is green” is not what my daughter-in-law said, but when Wang Da returned to the city, my father heard him say that there is a spring on the gable behind our house, and the water we eat and drink comes from. “Well. From the mountain is the Jinshan Mountain.” Guided by the concept of “Mountains of Gold and Silver”, Huzhou continues to broaden the path of transforming “lucid waters and lush mountains” into “mountains of gold and silver”, and strengthens the “good economy” in the “good scenery”.
