300 factories to be shut
Print Edition
Beijing is to shut 300 polluting factories this year to improve the city’s air quality.
According to a document detailing key tasks based on the Beijing Clean Air Action Plan (2013-2017), energy and pollution-intensive projects such as steel and cement are not to be approved in principle.
Labor intensive manufacturing is also not an option for city development.
A list of industrial projects to be halted or suspended will be published by the end of April.
A clean production audit will be carried out in over 200 factories and at least 50 clean production projects will be promoted citywide.
The local government will also phase out some industries, manufacturing techniques and equipment that are not in line with Beijing’s function as the capital.
