Kunshan Carton Plant Faces Relocation Deadline After Untreated Wastewater and VOC Violations
A carton packaging factory in Changyun Village, Jinxi Town, Kunshan City, Jiangsu Province, was recently found to have multiple environmental violations during a patrol by the Jinxi Town Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau. The city’s “263” Office has required relevant Jinxi Town departments to supervise rectification and to relocate the factory within a deadline.
Multiple environmental violations found
Reporters saw at the site that although the workshop machines were not in production, floor dust was severe, cartons were placed too densely, and waste was piled up randomly. In addition, printing wastewater was discharged directly into the sewer without treatment.
Tian Tao, director of the Environmental Protection Office of the Jinxi Town Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau, said that inks used in printing can generate volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which may cause certain air pollution. On-site inspections found the company’s pollution prevention and treatment facilities to be far from adequate. The bureau will next urge the company to actively advance rectification; if rectification is not up to standard, it will be shut down and banned as soon as possible.
Relevant laws and regulations
According to Articles 45 and 48 of Chapter IV of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Atmospheric Pollution, production and service activities that generate waste gas containing VOCs shall be carried out in enclosed spaces or equipment, and pollution prevention and control facilities shall be installed and used as required. If enclosure is impossible, measures shall be taken to reduce waste gas emissions.
Industrial production enterprises shall adopt measures such as enclosure, fencing, covering, sweeping and water spraying to reduce dust and gaseous pollutant emissions generated during the storage, transmission, loading and unloading of internal materials.
