Under the background of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality", the word "footprint" vividly reflects the concept of examining the entire life cycle of the product production process. Carbon footprint will become a powerful tool for my country's green and low-carbon transformation. "
Baixi Industry, as a metal packaging manufacturer, is at a key node in the fast-moving consumer goods packaging industry chain. The role and responsibility of Baixi Industry is not just a simple product and service provider, but a pioneer in promoting the transformation of the fast-moving consumer goods industry towards green, low-carbon and sustainable directions.
Baixi Industry fully demonstrates its emission reduction capabilities from raw material acquisition to production and transportation through an in-depth analysis of the carbon footprint of 1 and 1t two-piece cans throughout their life cycle.
Lightweighting is an effective means to reduce carbon footprint. According to the global annual consumption of 400 billion cans of cans, for every gram of can products reduced, excluding the consumption and savings in the production process, the resource weight of the finished cans alone will be reduced by 400,000 tons.
Baixi Industry starts from the design side. On the premise of ensuring the safety of use, it optimizes the tank design and uses lightweight covers to reduce the tank weight, creating a lightweight and low-carbon "lightweight can".
Taking the "lightweight can" created by Baixi Industry for Zhenxi as an example, it has achieved comprehensive "weight reduction" from the tank body to the tank cover. In terms of the tank body, STD330ml has currently reached 9.57 grams. In the next few years, Baixi Industry will optimize it to 9.3 grams, which is a leading figure in the world. In terms of can covers, in 2023, the lightweight cover packaging line that has achieved important technological breakthroughs in the field of lightweight covers in China will be officially put into production. The lightweight and low-carbon "lightweight can" has reduced the use of about 2,700 tons of aluminum in total in cooperation with Zhenxi alone. In the lightweight field of saving materials and reducing carbon emissions, Baixi Industry has the power to lead the industry.
Baixi Industry is also excellent in the total proportion of carbon emissions in the production and manufacturing stage and the carbon emissions generated by purchased electricity. Taking the Xianning factory as an example, the power-saving projects of Dianzhangmen and rooftop photovoltaic power station have saved 860,000 KW.h of electricity per year after the actual operation, and photovoltaic power generation is about 5 million KW.h per year. The self-use rate has reached 89% of the total power generation of photovoltaic power stations.
During the production process, the use of clean energy is vigorously promoted, and the use of clean energy and energy consumption in the production process of cans is reduced through innovative conveyor belt technology. Through equipment transformation, reducing the petroleum content of sewage station water and other measures, the effect of water saving and emission reduction is significant. Baixi Industry is proud to make a beautiful long-term carbon goal of "reducing total carbon emissions by 30% in 2030 compared to 2020".
On the growth path of each two-piece can, Baixi Industry has moved forward quickly, walked out green and low-carbon footprints, and produced a carbon footprint report with sufficient persuasiveness, firmly practicing the "carbon peak and carbon neutrality" mission that the leading large enterprises should undertake. Baixi Industry shows the whole process from raw material acquisition to production and transportation. But Baixi Industrial's low-carbon recycling footprint does not stop there.
After the consumer end, Baixi Industrial will set up a "packaging recycling center" - Youban Recycling. Through the "original recycling of used beverage cans" project, it will solve the problem of can recycling and promote the "CAN TO CAN" cycle in the field of metal packaging recycling and reuse.
After the recycled cans are processed by pre-treatment processes such as waste removal and crushing, they are melted into recycled aluminum. From cans to recycled aluminum, and then from recycled aluminum to cans, repeated recycling will not reduce the quality. A scientific recycling system will greatly improve the utilization of waste aluminum in the recycling process, thereby reducing the smelting process of aluminum products, thereby reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Youban Recycling uses the concept of recycling and reuse to achieve a complete recycling-sorting-circulation-reuse closed loop, forming a complete set of scientific waste packaging recycling and reuse green environmental protection industries.
In 2023, more than 2.5 billion aluminum cans will be recycled, and 35,500 tons of aluminum will be recycled.Recycling one ton of aluminum cans is equivalent to reducing carbon emissions by about 1,871-3,171 tons.
Baixi Industry has taken practical actions to explore the recycling of aluminum cans with higher value, and has also provided the optimal solution for sustainable development in the metal packaging industry. It has also taken practical actions to draw a longer-term direction for the carbon footprint report in the future. From the research and development of lightweight cans and aluminum lids, the development of can recycling machines, to the operation of Youban recycling projects, Baixi Industry's competitive advantage of "sustainable development in the future" has already been formed.
