9905-879 ABB will run the concept of sustainable development throughout the whole value chain, focus on product green, environmental protection and energy saving throughout the life cycle, and promote comprehensive green development around green factories, green industrial parks, green supply chain and green product design. ABB will adopt measures such as electronic instructions, inkjet printing technology, recyclable plastic pallets and two-dimensional code electronic packing lists to reduce the use of logistics cartons by about 35% per year from 2021, saving about 135,000 pieces of paper and about 130,000 plastic bags to reduce environmental pollution. ABB Xiamen Power Equipment Plant began as early as 2021 to develop an alternative full process to SF6 in the transformer insulation plant.
In recent years, ABB has focused on intelligent manufacturing, applied new technolo9905-879 gies and new equipment, continuously improved the production process, optimized the manufacturing process, built new flexible production lines, and played a leading role in the industry in promoting the steady decline of product energy consumption indicators. Among them: ABB Xinhui successfully achieved a 17% reduction in electricity consumption per thousand yuan of output value; Since 2020, the cumulative energy consumption of ABB power equipment in Xiamen has decreased by more than 30%.
Consciousness first, enabling the green cycle
In order to reduce carbon emissions from waste treatment and conserve natural resources, ABB has implemented a new paperless initiative in its daily operations, which has achieved 51 percent savings, including using 100 percent recycled copy paper, stopping or reducing paper packaging boxes and disposable water cups. Up to now, it has achieved a 97% waste conversion rate and obtained a gold certificate of “Zero Waste to landfill” issued by UL. ABB Xiamen Power Equipment invites external forces to diagnose energy conservation within the company, promote conservation awa9905-879 reness, and carry out conservation projects, such as: replacing all lighting fixtures with leds and zoning control; Improve product qualification rate and reduce waste generation; Reasonable use of air conditioning, reduce the waste of air conditioning; Carry out waste utilization, etc.
