Investment of 120 million yuan, Nanan Construction Waste Recycling and Resource Utilization Project Achieves "Rebirth" of Waste

On May 10, 2023, the Nanan Kangmei Town Construction Waste Recycling and Resource Utilization Project, jointly invested by Qunfeng Machinery, Quanzhou Jinkong Group, and Nanan Park Group with a total investment of 120 million yuan, completed its final debugging in Nanan Kangmei Town and is expected to be officially put into operation in June. The implementation of this project not only signifies a significant step taken by Quanzhou City in the field of construction waste treatment but also represents remarkable achievements in implementing the guiding principles of accelerating the promotion of construction waste resource utilization in Fujian Province.

According to the Fujian Daily, on May 8, 2023, the Fujian Provincial Government held an executive meeting to discuss the special investigation and rectification of major accident hazards and the utilization of construction waste resources in Fujian Province. During the meeting, the "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Promotion of Construction Waste Resource Utilization" were approved. The meeting emphasized the importance and urgency of promoting the utilization of construction waste resources, strengthening planning guidance, implementing local responsibilities, improving institutional mechanisms, coordinating waste reduction and resource utilization, and promoting energy conservation, emission reduction, and green development.

In recent years, due to the accelerated urbanization process, China's urban construction waste production exceeds 2 billion tons annually, which is about 8 times the amount of household waste and accounts for about 40% of the total urban solid waste. According to the "2021 Solid Waste Pollution and Environmental Control Information of Quanzhou City" report released by the Quanzhou Ecological Environment Bureau in May 2022, Quanzhou City alone generated approximately 50 million cubic meters of construction waste in 2021, including construction debris and renovation waste. The accumulation of construction waste not only pollutes the urban environment but also poses a serious threat to the health of residents. Therefore, "construction waste management" has become an urgent issue for the Quanzhou municipal government to address.

In response to the government's call and considering economic benefits, the construction waste recycling and utilization project, jointly invested by Qunfeng Machinery, Quanzhou Jinkong Group, and Nanan Park Group, commenced construction in Nanan in November 2021 after technical team's multiple technical demonstrations and site visits.

The project is located in Futie Village, Kangmei Town, and is the first construction waste recycling project in Nanan City. The total investment of the project is approximately 120 million yuan, with a total construction area of about 34,500 square meters. The first phase of the project covers an area of approximately 14,700 square meters and includes a comprehensive building, block production workshop, crushing line production workshop, guard booth, power distribution room, and sewage pool. The second phase will involve the construction of another production workshop.

According to the project leader, after its completion, the project will be capable of processing 2,000 tons of construction waste per day. The block production line can produce 60,000 cubic meters of standard blocks per year or 240,000 square meters of Dutch bricks per year. Experts estimate that Nanan currently generates 900,000 tons of construction waste annually, and the project's annual capacity of processing construction waste, which is 600,000 tons, can meet the majority of Nanan's construction waste disposal needs.

The local construction waste will undergo processes such as crushing, screening, cleaning, and grading using Qunfeng Machinery's crushing and screening equipment to produce coarse and fine recycled aggregates and sand that meet the specifications. These recycled materials will be mixed with cement, fly ash, and other additives according to a specific ratio. Finally, they will be manufactured into new types of building materials such as pavers, pedestrian pathway bricks, and solid blocks using Qunfeng's ultrasonic automatic block production line and mold and surface fabric system. These building materials have higher density and brighter colors compared to conventional blocks. The commissioning of this project will effectively alleviate the problem of "difficulties in construction waste management" in Quanzhou and has significant social and economic value.
