Shanying International

Commitment to Carbon Reduction

In June 2021, the letter of commitment submitted by Shanying International to Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), which proposed a scientific carbon reduction goal that went beyond 2℃ control, was officially approved, symbolizing that Shanying International had become the advanced paper manufacturer that set a scientific Greenhouse gas GHG emission target in China.

Science Based GHG Emissions Targets of Shanying International: Carbon intensity per unit product in Scope 1 and Scope 2 reduced by 39% by 2030 compared to 2020 (base year); Carbon intensity per unit product in Scope 3 reduced by 20% by 2030 compared to 2020 (base year).

In 2023, the company's annual carbon reduction targets were exceeded, with a total progress of 86% towards achieving the scientific carbon targets for Scope 1 and Scope 2, and 43% towards achieving the scientific carbon targets for Scope 3.

Shanying International are actively endeavoring to obtain the carbon management system certification. 5 papermaking bases in China passed the review of EATNS carbon management system successfully and and become the first enterprise in the papermaking industry that has obtained corresponding carbon management system certification.

Carbon Reduction at the Source

The research by Shanying & China Resource Recycling Association

For 1 ton of waste paper recycled & reused, the carbon dioxide emission will be reduced 1.46 tons.
Higher share of recycled fiber

Recover 8 million+ tons of recycled fibers, and avoid CO₂ emissions by 648 thousand tons/year
Innovation in straw pulp paper technology

For the utilization of 1 ton of straw, the carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced 1.64 tons.

Green Manufacturing

Focusing on PV power generation and biomass power generation

The energy efficiency of the system has been improved through steam system optimization, waste heat and energy recovery, papermaking technology optimization and supporting auxiliary energy-saving equipment

Photovoltaic power generation: total installed capacity of 145MW, reducing 78,400 tons of CO₂ emissions per year.

Biomass power generation: 657,400 tons of CO₂ emission reduction per year.

Shanying International, Zhejiang Shanying, Huanan Shanying, Huazhong Shanying, Guangdong Shanying, Ma'anshan Xiangheng and Putian Xiangheng have all been selected as the national level green plants for their excellent performance in green and low-carbon production

Carbon Neutrality of Product

To Realize net-zero carbon emissions for the whole value chain

Shanying International has examined and certified the carbon footprint of 20 kinds of products.

“Replacement of plastics with paper” reduces emissions at the product end.

11 types of packaging paper or cardboard products of Shanying International have been selected as the national-level green design products
