Green & Low-carbon

Integrating Green Development into Corporate Strategy

The company advocates for green, low-carbon, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly biological manufacturing, adhering to the principles of sustainable development. By integrating sustainability into daily operations, we continuously strengthen environmental management, mitigate operational environmental risks, promote green office practices, and explore pathways for green development to contribute to the nation’s "double carbon" (carbon peaking and carbon neutrality) goals.

Waste Disposal

The Jiangxia and Gedian Branches have a total of 3 general solid waste storage rooms and 3 hazardous waste storage rooms, used for temporary storage of general and hazardous waste, respectively. All solid waste is classified and stored in compliance with the "three preventions" principle: preventing dust scattering, leakage, and runoff. Hazardous waste generated during production is collected and stored in strict accordance with the National Hazardous Waste List and entrusted to third-party hazardous waste disposal companies for legal and regulatory processing.

100% of domestic waste is delivered to municipal waste recycling units for compliant disposal.
Sludge from wastewater stations, decolorized activated carbon after oil extraction, and saponins are 100% processed into organic fertilizer by qualified entities (zero landfilling).
100% of hazardous waste generated during production is handled by third-party hazardous waste disposal companies in full compliance with regulations.

Energy Management

CABIO is committed to optimizing its energy mix and increasing the proportion of renewable energy use.

During the reporting period, the company advanced solar photovoltaic power projects. The photovoltaic panels on the rooftop of the Gedian dormitory generated a cumulative 102,896 kWh in 2024, equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 54.09 tons.
By purchasing green electricity, the Gedian Branch utilized 1,742.336 MWh of renewable energy during the period, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 915.95 tons.

Water Resource Management

The company’s wastewater includes production wastewater (fermentation wastewater, pretreatment cleaning water, process equipment cleaning drainage, etc.) and domestic sewage (wastewater from employee offices and daily life). After treatment at the on-site wastewater treatment stations, it is discharged into the municipal sewage network for further processing. All wastewater treatment facilities operate normally, and emissions are monitored in accordance with Grade 3 of GB8978-1996 (Comprehensive Wastewater Discharge Standard) and the Quality Standard for Wastewater Discharged into Urban Sewers. In 2024, there were no exceedances in wastewater pollutant concentration limits or total pollutant discharge.

Exhaust Gas Emission and Management

The company continuously focuses on optimizing exhaust gas management, implementing multiple measures to reduce pollutant emissions. We have continuously expanded and upgraded exhaust gas treatment equipment: in 2024, the Jiangxia Branch operated 11 sets of exhaust gas stacks and environmental protection treatment facilities, while the Gedian Branch had 19 sets. Throughout the year, we strengthened the operation, inspection, and control of environmental protection facilities in all regions and developed monitoring plans in compliance with regulatory requirements. Results from qualified monitoring entities confirmed that all facilities operated normally in 2024, with no exceedances in wastewater pollutant concentration limits or total pollutant discharge.
