Lu Thai adheres to the
concept of green
development, introduces
the concept of sustainable
development from the very
start of product design,
effectively utilizes various
natural resources and
19
reduces different negative factors affecting the environment. Gradually, the
focus of product design has been transferred from appearance, function and
commercial interest to the field of sustainable development. While realizing the
product economic benefits, the environmental protection and personal health are
also taken into consideration. In other words, designers shall take the harmony
and unity of economy, society and environment into full consideration during
their design.
In the selection of raw materials, we attach great importance to the
renewable and reusable resources, prioritize the selection of green and
environment-friendly fibers, and actively develop ecological textiles.
In terms of the process setting, we will focus on reducing the adverse
impact on the environment, commit to changing the traditional
high-consumption and high-pollution production mode, actively promote clean

pollution-free, optimize the resource allocation, and reduce corresponding
energy consumption and environmental pollution.
In the production process, we fully consider the impact on the surrounding
environment and the employee’s health, pay attention to the use of green and
environment-friendly chemicals, actively develop non-toxic and harm-free
dyeing auxiliaries, build sewage treatment facilities, and collectively dispose the
dyeing and printing waste water for the purpose of mitigating the damage on the
environment, especially on the soil.
For the use of products, we advocate the sustainable consumption model,
ensure corresponding consumption to be conducive to the environmental
protection and the ecological balance. Meanwhile, consumers are called for to
meet their own needs while maximizing the use of resources to help build a
resource-conserving and environment-friendly society.

2018 should be the year for “the continuous
deepening of market services”. Therefore,
the company carried out the in-depth study
of the market and customer needs,
transferred the needs of market and
customers into various requirements in key
processes involving the product R&D, the
technical design, the production process
organization and control, and the service
planning and implementation in a comprehensive, systematic and proper way,

1. Sustainable Utilization of Resources
(1) Water Resource
The company has developed and adopted a number of technologies
including the semi-cylinder dyeing and the reuse of reclaimed water etc., which
reduces the water consumption in production processes, improves production
efficiency, reduces energy consumption, and achieves a major breakthrough in
29
energy saving and emission reduction and green low carbon technology in the
textile industry. In addition, the “Dyeing and Printing Waste Water Large-flux
Membrane Treatment and Recycling
Technology and Industrialization”
technology developed by the company
has won the Second National Prize for
Progress in Science and Technology, and
the company has also adopted the
“Column-type Ultra-filtration+Inverse 公司参加 "世界水日 "主题宣传活动
Penetration” technology to realize the Participation of the company in the campaign on
the theme "World Water Day"
reuse of dyeing and printing waste water.
Meanwhile, Lu Thai has always highlighted the environmental protection and
has invested nearly RMB 200 million Yuan in the company’s treatment of
industrial waste water and the construction of urban sewage treatment plants to
undertake the treatment of urban sewage in Zichuan District. At present, these
sewage treatment plants’ sewage treatment capacities have achieved 80,000
tons/day, which has made positive contributions to the construction of the
residential environment in the whole district.
In order to realize the
recycling of water
resources and provide a
guarantee for long-term
development, the company
has built a 20,000-ton/day
reclaimed water reuse
facility which adopts the
world-leading “immersion
ultra-filtration + reverse
penetration” technology to
realize the regeneration and reuse of waste water. As various indicators revealed
by reclaimed water are superior to the national water quality standards for
recycling, regional water resources can thus be recycled.
Major Classification of Waste Waters Recycling of Color Caustic Soda
Deep-colored water is separately controlled Advanced liquid caustic soda recycling
and high-concentration PVA water is equipment is introduced from Germany, and
separately collected for treatment to relieve the concentrated weak alkaline liquor will be
the burden of subsequent waste water applied for mercerizing finish with the
treatment. Special materials are recycled, and Emission recycling rate above 80%.
the reuse rate of liquid ammonia achieves Reduction
above 98%.
Realization of Waste Water Regeneration Permissible Discharge
and Recycling of Dyes The company has applied the Level 2 waste
Lu Thai has invested RMB 80 million Yuan water treatment process, and 4 waste water
to its waste water dual membrane recycling treatment stations are built in the factory with
project. As its water production can reach the daily waste water treatment of 18,000
30
20,000 cubic meters/day, water resources are tons; Zibo Limin Purified Water Co., Ltd.
thus saved and the company’s demand for subordinated to the company has made its
production water supply is satisfied as well. daily waste water treatment reach 80,000
tons, which will not only further process its
