Focus on environmental efforts during industrialization

A circular economy park is being created covering giant steel and petrochemical complexes, which are 500 meters away and being built on Donghai Island, as Zhanjiang's government pledges to conserve the city's environment.

When the steel project was approved in 2012, the National Development and Reform Commission said a circular economy must be created in the area and cooperation with the petrochemical project should be strengthened during the process.

A committee was set up by the city government and the operators of both the projects to build a State-level circular economy demonstration zone.
