With the passage of time and as immutable as the rivers, the pace of time has entered a new node.

Guowang Hi-Tech and Honggang Petrochemical successfully create the national “green factory”, and Honggang Petrochemical takes the lead in the preparation of national standards for PTA green factory; we strengthen green production in the whole process and carry out integration model of energy conservation and environmental protection, so a batch of energy-saving, water-conservation and emission-reduction transformation projects are implemented one after another, realizing source reduction, process control and cyclic utilization; we adopt new technology and new process so as to lead the green cycle of industry by biomass fiber and renewable materials; we build a safe and green production system, strengthen safety awareness, improve the level of resource utilization, and contribute to the protection of green hills and clear waters.

We are committed to our own development, simultaneously strive to practice and assume the responsibility and mission of excellent corporate citizens.
