From the top-level design of the country to the policy documents of ministries and commissions, the determination and perseverance of the state to support the green transformation of traditional manufacturing enterprises are frequently revealed. It also conveys the unsustainability of the extensive development mode of "high input, high consumption and high emission" in the past, and the difficulty of sustaining the growth of GDP at the expense of environment and resources. It is necessary to pursue the dual objectives of economic development and environmental protection.

At present, China's manufacturing industry is facing the pressure of foreign enterprises'competition and stringent environmental protection requirements. How to achieve green transformation has become a major problem. Made-in-China 2025 also clearly put forward in the plan that green manufacturing should be implemented in an all-round way, green transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry should be accelerated, and green manufacturing system should be constructed actively.

Not long ago, the Ministry of Industry and Communications issued the "Three-year Action Plan for Fighting Strong Pollution Prevention and Control in Industry and Communications Industry" and proposed that by 2020, the energy consumption per unit of industrial added value of Enterprises above the scale will be 18% lower than that in 2015, and the proportion of green manufacturing and high-tech industries will be greatly increased.

From the top-level design of the country to the policy documents of ministries and commissions, the determination and perseverance of the state to support the green transformation of traditional manufacturing enterprises are frequently revealed. It also conveys the unsustainability of the extensive development mode of "high input, high consumption and high emission" in the past, and the difficulty of sustaining the growth of GDP at the expense of environment and resources. It is necessary to pursue the dual objectives of economic development and environmental protection.

Capacity Elimination + Environmental Protection Supervision, Green Transition Layout in Many Provinces and Municipalities in China

It is undeniable that in the past, due to lax supervision and low cost of illegal activities, many enterprises profit from environmental violations, and their willingness to transform green is not strong. With the action of environmental protection supervision and the double pressure of eliminating backward production capacity, a large number of enterprises have been restricted, suspended and investigated because of high pollution and high emissions. Some enterprises have been found to take the initiative to rectify under the deterrence, forcing them to transform and upgrade, to green efficiency.

It can be said that before the elimination of backward production capacity, after the "environmental protection supervision", this "green transformation and upgrading storm" does not seem to stop, more and more cities are trying to promote the relevant industries from "black to green, high carbon to low carbon, manufacturing to creation" transformation, green development ideology is also changing, frequently. Guidelines for green transformation of industrial enterprises have been issued.

In October 2016, Hebei People's Government issued the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for the Industrial Transformation and Upgrading of Hebei Province, which clearly pointed out that during the thirteenth Five-Year Plan period, the whole province will adhere to the transformation and green development, adopt advanced and applicable technologies to upgrade the traditional industries such as iron and steel, petrochemical, building materials and consumer goods industries, and adjust the industrial structure. Develop circular economy, promote traditional industries to intelligent, digital and green, and accelerate the pace of transformation and upgrading of traditional industries.

Handan, as the capital of iron and steel, is also an important city in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei air pollution transmission channel "2+26" city, which is facing the pressure of transformation. Firstly, the industrial structure is single, and no new economic growth point can be found (new economic growth point needs to be found); secondly, the environmental pressure is enormous and it needs to break through in pollution control. Under multiple pressures, Handan Municipal Government soon realized the necessity of transformation, and the environmental protection concept of Handan Iron and Steel Enterprises has also realized the transformation from "I want to protect the environment" to "I want to protect the environment".

In March 2017, the Thirteenth Five-Year Industrial Green Development Plan of Anhui Province was promulgated to promote the green transformation and upgrading of key energy-consuming industries such as iron and steel, non-ferrous metals, petrochemical, chemical, building materials and electric power, and organize the implementation of papermaking, coking, nitrogen fertilizer, non-ferrous metals, printing and dyeing, agricultural and sideline industries in the Yangtze River, Huaihe River, Chaohu Lake and other key river basins. Cleaner production level upgrading projects in key water pollution industries such as food processing, raw material drug manufacturing, tannery, pesticides, electroplating, etc.

In June 2017, on the one hand, the Henan People's Government, while eliminating excess capacity and banning zombie enterprises, actively promoted the green transformation of industry, and proposed that by 2020, the level of green manufacturing in Henan Province will be significantly improved. The green transformation will be expanded from key backbone enterprises to multi-fields and industries, and the value-added capacity of industrial units above the scale will be increased. Consumption is 18% lower than that in 2016, and the added value of energy-saving and environmental protection industries has increased by more than 10% annually.

There are different opinions on industrial greening development planning in many provinces and cities, but they are undoubtedly doing "articles" on overcapacity and green transformation and upgrading. For industries with outstanding overcapacity problems such as steel and electrolytic aluminium, according to the principle of "digesting, transferring, integrating and eliminating a batch", mergers and reorganizations are adopted. In the aspect of green transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, focusing on key industries such as iron and steel, non-ferrous metals, chemical industry, building materials, which consume energy resources and emit large amounts of pollutants, we should strengthen the optimization of production process and the popularization and application of advanced energy-saving and environmental protection technologies, so as to comprehensively improve the greening level of traditional manufacturing industries.

No longer bad money drives good money, positive incentives for environmental protection inspectors appear

Accelerate the elimination of backward production capacity, use environmental protection to force industrial upgrading, to achieve economic "strong body", more and more local learn to "calculate environmental protection income account". For example, more than 7000 wood-based panels enterprises in Wen'an County of Hebei Province have been shut down and rectified. After the integration, all 200 enterprises have reached the standard. The number of enterprises has been reduced to one-tenth of the original number, while the output value and tax payment have doubled. Such environmental "books" show that environmental supervision is not only a battle for the protection of the ecological environment, but also a battle for the transformation and upgrading of the green environment.

Zhejiang Province seizes the favorable opportunity of the central environmental protection supervision to promote the orderly comprehensive renovation and transformation and upgrading of building materials, bathroom, printing and dyeing industries throughout the province, strengthen and expand traditional industries and superior enterprises, and enhance the competitiveness of the industry.

The same is true for enterprises. In the past, they did not attach importance to environmental protection, and they seized the market by stealing and unlawful competition at low prices. They are tasting the bitter fruits of quick success and instant benefit. Those areas who dare to assume corporate social responsibility and insist on environmental protection as a prerequisite for development are beginning to reap the "green dividend".

It is reported that Jieyang, Guangdong Province, is an example. At most, there were more than 600 workshop electroplating enterprises in Jieyang. Sewage was discharged directly into farmland, rivers and even wells into the ground, causing serious pollution. Aware of the high pollution hazards, entrepreneurs under the guidance of policies established the Federation of Metal Enterprises, founded the first industrial park led by industry associations in China, "China-Germany Metal Eco-City", integrated the city's electroplating and related supporting enterprises into 37 home-based production, through the introduction of technology, centralized treatment to achieve "zero row". Let go. In this process, the enterprise has paid a high cost of technological transformation, and the products also encounter low-cost competition in the same industry. However, the stricter the environmental protection is, the more pollution enterprises can not produce, while the enterprises in the Eco-city are not affected, thus achieving the effect of "good money expelling bad money".

There are many cases in which private enterprises profit from "Phoenix Nirvana" in environmental protection supervision.

It is reported that the two industries of non-ferrous metal processing and thermal insulation building materials in Dacheng County, Langfang City, Hebei Province, have been the pillar industries of the county for many years. Over three months of renovation, Dacheng County completed the renovation of 1968 "scattered and dirty" enterprises. Small enterprises and small workshops that do not conform to the environmental protection policy have all been abolished. The remaining enterprises have been rectified in strict accordance with the environmental protection standards. Enterprises with high pollution emissions and "dirty and disorderly" are basically "clean up".

Non-ferrous metal processing and thermal building materials industries have invested more than 300 million yuan in investment, and installed advanced environmental protection equipment. Huamei glass wool, Xiangda rock wool, Shoualuminium and aluminium industry and other enterprises have thrown off the "old burden" and glowed "new vitality". Especially in the heat preservation building materials industry, under the circumstance of simultaneously carrying out environmental protection management, the low-end enterprises will be eliminated and the market space for brand enterprises will be cleared. In 2017, the market situation is better than previous years, benchmarking enterprises will continue to place orders, the sales of products will increase significantly, and the tax revenue of the industry will also increase. Only in January-June 2017, the tax revenue will reach 104 million yuan, a year-on-year increase. Length 35.4%.

The positive incentive effect of environmental protection supervision is becoming more and more obvious. The industrial enterprises that take the initiative to rectify are also making profits. There are many cases. They are no longer listed one by one. It is often said to us that big waves wash away sand, remove falsehoods and retain truth, go to productivity and improve competitiveness. For manufacturing enterprises, the top priority is to think about how to survive in adversity. Under the storm of environmental protection, powerful enterprises can update and upgrade their own environmental protection equipment and spend a lot of money to build environmental protection production lines. Small and medium-sized enterprises are accelerating the pace of green transformation, innovating technology, and realizing resource-based and harmless. It is believed that driven by the environmental storm, more "green" manufacturing enterprises will also be "born".
