The reuse of waste heat, gas, and solid by-products from industrial production, as well as the interconnection of energy, materials, and water resources across different industries, has become a critical challenge in the green transformation of industrial supply chains. Ou said IMIP has embedded resource circulation into raw material transportation and production organization, and to date, its waste heat recovery projects save several hundred million kilowatt-hours of electricity each year, while solid by-products are recycled at the million-ton level annually.
At IMIP, wastewater treatment and reuse systems are continuously being upgraded, photovoltaic and energy storage projects are advancing, and smart logistics, conveyor belts, and electric transport vehicles are replacing conventional material handling methods. The circular economy chain also extends to surrounding communities through IMIP's PESONA TANI project, and IMIP partners with local farmer groups to convert organic waste into compost for agricultural usage.
During the event, the Tsingshan ESG delegation held working discussions with UNIDO's IP4SD team on EIP development, green supply chains, energy efficiency and circular economy, community investment, and industrial talent cultivation.
Dermawati Sihite, IMIP's director of environmental sustainability as well as other IMIP representatives also attended the event.
