On June 6, the China Building Materials Federation released the "General Evaluation Principles for the 6-Zero Factories in the Building Materials Industry." This is the first time that standards related to the "6-Zero" factories have been formulated and released in China, further enriching the green and low-carbon standards system of the building materials industry.
The "6-Zero" factory refers to a demonstration factory in the building materials industry that innovatively achieves “zero purchased electricity, zero fossil energy, zero primary resources, zero carbon emissions, zero waste discharge, and zerostaff”. This is the first time such a tangible target has been proposed in the industrial field in China and has become a common goal for the industry. Currently, 19 units in China are continuously promoting the construction of "6-Zero" factories.
Yan Xiaofeng, President of the China Building Materials Federation said that," The main purpose is to clarify the evaluation terms, indicators, and scope of the "6-Zero" factories, and then formulate classified indicators based on different products and production lines, which can be assessed and quantified.
