Vietnam Stands Strong as a Top 6 Sender of Students to the U.S. with Over 24,000 Enrolled in 2024
SHANGHAI, June 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Nestled along Sanmen Bay in the heart of China's "Golden Coastline," a waste-to-energy plant stands as a beacon of innovation and sustainability. Operated by SUS ENVIRONMENT—the world's largest provider of waste incineration technology and a top three global investor in waste-to-energy projects, this coastal facility has become the county's most unexpected tourist attraction.
Beyond its groundbreaking waste-to-energy technology and solutions, the plant is celebrated for its deep commitment to community engagement.
Cutting-Edge Technology for a Cleaner Future
The facility employs SUS ENVIRONEMNT proprietary high-calorific waste incineration technology, featuring a modular design that adapts to diverse waste. Emissions surpass the stringent EU Emission Standard, while wastewater is fully recycled within the plant. In 2024, these efforts earned it the title of Water-Saving Enterprise of Zhejiang Province.
Architecture in Harmony with Nature
Inspired by the surrounding landscape, the plant's design embodies the philosophy of "Mountains Integrate Waters," blending seamlessly with the coastal scenery. But its harmony with the environment extends beyond aesthetics—the facility also serves as an environmental education hub. Through interactive workshops and community events, it has redefined its role as a guardian of both nature and public awareness.
A Shared Space for Growth
The plant fosters a symbiotic relationship with the local community. Employees regularly engage with residents, sharing insights into sustainable living. By providing communal facilities such as basketball courts, the plant deepens its bond with the local community. "We love spending weekends here—sipping coffee, enjoying the view, and appreciating how the plant coexists with nature," one resident remarked.
For SUS ENVIRONMENT, every project is more than infrastructure—it's a commitment to a greener, more connected world.
