Jiangsu Xuanda Polymer Materials, a company specializing in the research, development and production of functional polyester fibers in Tongzhou district, Nantong, has been named a Jiangsu Provincial Green Factory for 2026, with the list announced on Oct 28.

Committed to green development, Xuanda has integrated low-carbon practices into its operations, from factory construction and manufacturing processes to resource recycling, while upgrading its technology and management.

In 2025, the company generated more than 40 million kilowatt-hours of solar power. Its biomass energy consumption was equivalent to more than 60,000 metric tons of standard coal, while renewable energy accounted for 45 percent of its total energy consumption.

Xuanda has also stepped up efforts to improve resource efficiency and develop greener products. Its portfolio includes atmospheric-pressure dyeable fibers, recycled fibers and bio-based PTT fibers, all of which have been commercialized to help reduce energy consumption and pollutant emissions across the production chain.

Going forward, the company will continue to serve as an industry role model, drive coordinated carbon reduction across upstream and downstream sectors of the industrial chain, and inject new momentum into the industry's green, low-carbon and high-quality development.
