Located in Chongqing's Yongchuan district, the center serves as a green disassembly and sorting hub for decommissioned power grid materials. It employs a comprehensive closed-loop management model to meticulously disassemble cables, steel-core aluminum strands, electric meters, and transformers, enhancing the reuse value of obsolete materials. This initiative is one of the company's major green demonstration projects.

Wang Kaicai, the on-site director of the center, highlighted these accomplishments during an interview on Thursday. Since its launch, the facility has revitalized over 8,400 decommissioned transformers and processed more than 8,500 tons of discarded cables through centralized dismantling and public auctions.
