Production Waste Classification & Generation Details
1. Solid Waste
- Trimmings are produced in the post-forming trimming process. Conventional production lines usually see a trimming waste rate of 8%–12%, while our standard line originally generated around 10% paper scraps.
- Defective products mainly come from issues like uneven forming, surface damage and dimensional deviation, with an initial defect rate of roughly 3%.
- Metal and plastic molds will wear out after long-term high-frequency use and become idle industrial supplies.

Solid Waste Management: Process, Data & Advantages
Paper scraps & defective products recycling
All paper trimmings and unqualified trays are collected centrally and re-delivered to the pulping workshop for secondary pulping. The recycled fiber can be mixed with raw pulp at a ratio of 25%–30% for reproduction.
This process cuts our consumption of virgin raw materials by nearly 28% and reduces overall solid waste volume by over 75%, far better than the simple landfill disposal adopted by many peer factories.
Recycling & resale of used molds
Molds that cannot meet high-precision production standards are sorted out. Intact second-hand molds are sold to small-batch manufacturers and custom handmade studios at a reasonable price, realizing resource reutilization instead of direct scrapping.
Harmless disposal for residual waste
For a tiny portion of completely unrecyclable waste, we cooperate with locally certified environmental service providers. All waste is transported and disposed of in compliance with regional emission standards, with zero random dumping.
Wastewater Treatment: Technical Process & Operational Indicators
Treatment workflow
First, multi-layer physical filters remove large paper fibers and solid debris. Next, we add eco-friendly flocculants to decompose organic contaminants. The water then goes through multi-stage sedimentation to separate fine particles.
Reuse effect & data
After full treatment, the water quality reaches production reuse standards. Currently, 90% of treated wastewater is recycled for pulping and equipment cleaning. Our overall water consumption is reduced to 1.1 tons per ton of finished products, a drop of over 70% compared with the traditional process.
We conduct water quality testing every 4 hours on-site, and submit regular third-party inspection reports to ensure full compliance with local environmental discharge regulations.
Technological Optimization: Reduce Waste at the Source
We adopt intelligent numerical control trimming machines. The system optimizes cutting paths automatically, lowering the trimming waste rate from the original 10% down to 4.2%.
Our real-time production monitoring system tracks operating parameters of each unit in real time. Once abnormal data is detected, the team can troubleshoot within 10 minutes. This measure brings the product defect rate down from 3% to 0.8%, effectively avoiding mass waste caused by equipment failure.
