China Jushi FY2025: Site operations and environmental evidence

The annual report identifies three entities on mandatory environmental-information disclosure lists: Jushi Group, Jushi Group Jiujiang and Jushi Group Chengdu. It links their environmental reports and says a separate social-responsibility, sustainability or ESG report was disclosed. Management states that waste gas, wastewater and solid-waste emissions met applicable standards, and claims Huai'an wind power reduced carbon emissions by more than 400,000 tonnes. The annual report does not supply the underlying site-level emissions inventory or calculation methodology in these passages; the linked environmental and ESG reports have not been extracted here.

The annual report links the FY2025 statutory environmental disclosure of Jushi Group Co., Ltd., identified on the Zhejiang platform by unified social credit code 9133048373030919X7. This is a subsidiary reporting perimeter, not consolidated China Jushi environmental data. The platform lists both registered and production address as 669 Wenhua South Road, Tongxiang Development Zone (Gaoqiao Subdistrict), Jiaxing, Zhejiang. It describes separate roving and fine-yarn/electronic-fabric process chains. The address is evidence for the named reporting entity; it does not locate every historical Tongxiang project, assign all emissions to a single furnace, or establish coordinates for the whole manufacturing network.

The environmental-management section reports a pollution-discharge permit obtained on 15 April 2025, number 9133048373030919X7004Q, with a five-year term. It also lists environmental-impact review opinions for an 180,000-tonne tank-furnace drawing-line upgrade obtained on 12 December 2025 and a 200,000-tonne upgrade obtained on 2 September 2025. The listed authority is the Jiaxing Ecology and Environment Bureau. These are reported administrative milestones, not evidence of actual line output. Approval attachments and operating conditions have not been read. The basic-information section separately shows permit number 9133048373030919X7001U; that difference remains unresolved. Capacity and location alone cannot reconcile these upgrades with the annual report's differently named cold repairs.

For FY2025 the key-information section reports annual air emissions of 111.185 tonnes of sulphur dioxide, 340.464 tonnes of nitrogen oxides and 5.314 tonnes of particulate matter. It separately reports wastewater of 1,201,504 tonnes and chemical oxygen demand (COD) of 28.313 tonnes. Wastewater is an effluent quantity, not fresh-water consumption; COD is a pollutant load, not the amount of wastewater. These are values submitted by Jushi Group Co., Ltd. on the statutory platform, not independently measured site totals or group-wide emissions. No emission intensity is calculated because a matching production denominator and physical-site boundary have not been established.

The pollution-control section distinguishes wastewater treatment for the headquarters production base (outlet DW001) from treatment for the intelligent base (DW002). Both list pH, COD and ammonia nitrogen as treatment parameters. Air-control entries identify furnace and drawing passages, heat-treatment exhaust and organic emissions from sizing preparation. This links environmental infrastructure to specific production steps, rather than a general responsibility statement. The reporting company says its pollution-control facilities operated in step with production throughout 2025 and had no abnormal operation; that is its own statement. Listed facilities and outlet identifiers do not establish treatment capacity, independent compliance verification or the identities of all historical production-line projects.

The carbon-emissions section identifies fossil-fuel combustion and net purchased electricity and heat as emissions sources. It states that the current-year actual emissions had not been verified and were therefore not filled in. Current- and prior-year quantity fields contain slashes, and the disclosure says no carbon report was published in this section. Those entries are not zero emissions or proof that the operation was carbon neutral. The captured sections do not provide an annual energy-consumption or fresh-water-use total suitable for a production-intensity calculation. Jushi's separately reported wind-generation or avoided-emissions figures cannot fill this missing manufacturing-emissions field.

Jiaxing Ecology and Environment Bureau issued decision Jia Huan Jian [2025] No. 35 on 2 September 2025 for Jushi Group Co., Ltd., with project code 2501-330483-04-02-242305. It describes upgrading and expanding an existing production base on Wenhua South Road in Tongxiang Economic Development Zone, replacing older equipment with upgraded furnace systems, drawing machines, unloading robots and pallet-handling equipment. The approved design is 200,000 tonnes of glass fiber per year, with projected investment of RMB 760.0809 million, including RMB 15.5 million for environmental protection. The legal owner, capacity, location and exact total investment agree with the annual report's 200,000-tonne upgrade-and-expansion row, supporting this association. That does not resolve the separately described newly initiated cold repair or the 180,000-tonne project, and design capacity is not actual output.

The decision requires separated stormwater and process-water collection, treatment and reuse through the existing base's wastewater system, followed by treatment at Tongxiang Shenhe Water Services. A new fluoride-removal facility must be built before the old reverse-osmosis concentrate station is taken out of service and dismantled. Furnace and drawing-channel exhaust must use dry deacidification, catalytic ceramic filtration with SCR denitration, dual-alkali desulphurisation and wet electrostatic mist removal before discharge through outlet DA001. The project must be designed against Grade A heavy-pollution-weather performance requirements. These are conditions attached to the approved design, not proof of completed installations, achieved treatment efficiency or an awarded Grade A rating.

The signed decision requires the environmental facilities to be designed, built and put into use alongside the main works, a lawful pollution-discharge permit, operation within that permit, and completion of the prescribed acceptance procedure. Production is allowed only after acceptance is passed. Material changes to the project's nature, scale, location, process or pollution controls require a new environmental-impact submission; a decision to start construction more than five years after approval requires renewed review. Online pollutant monitoring must also be linked to the environmental authority. The September 2025 approval therefore supplies operating conditions; it does not establish the date of commissioning, the acceptance outcome or the realised output of the line.

China Jushi's official English 2025 Sustainability Report covers 1 January to 31 December 2025, while explicitly identifying some information from the first quarter of 2026. Its general organisational scope covers wholly owned and controlled entities, but individual environmental tables exclude the Egyptian and US bases. The company says the Chinese version prevails if the language versions differ. The English download was obtained from the company's own investor-relations site, whose page shows an update dated 22 July 2026; that update is not assigned as the original publication date. This source supplements the A-share annual report and does not turn selected environmental figures into six-base consolidated totals. The selected English energy, water and air-emissions tables and their scope footnotes were compared with the Chinese report.

For 2025 the sustainability table reports comprehensive energy consumption of 6,925,402 MWh, including electricity consumption of 2,627,022 MWh and natural-gas consumption of 4,177,884 MWh. Its footnote excludes the Egyptian and US bases. Electricity includes purchased and self-generated power; natural gas is expressed as an energy equivalent, not cubic metres of gas. Electricity and gas are components of total energy and must not be added to that total again. These figures describe the disclosed domestic perimeter, not an allocation to Tongxiang, Jiujiang, Chengdu, Huai'an or an individual new line.

The same report gives 2025 water withdrawal of 7,990,345 tonnes, comprising tap water and surface water, water discharge of 2,627,811 tonnes and water consumption of 5,362,534 tonnes. It separately lists circulating water of 337,343,761 tonnes and a circulation-utilisation rate of 97.69%. Circulating flows are not new water withdrawal and cannot be added to the withdrawal total. The table excludes the Egyptian and US bases. These amounts are therefore different in scope from Jushi Group Co., Ltd.'s Zhejiang statutory wastewater submission; the two datasets are retained separately. No line-level or product-level water intensity is inferred from them.

The 2025 sustainability report lists nitrogen oxides of 690.55 tonnes, sulphur dioxide of 275.57 tonnes, industrial particulate matter of 30.72 tonnes and volatile organic compounds of 77.10 tonnes. The table explicitly excludes Egypt and the United States. These company-reported amounts have a broader domestic boundary than the separate Zhejiang legal-entity submission. They are recorded under their own scope and must not be added to the subsidiary values or treated as measurements for one furnace. The report's statement of full compliance with permit requirements remains attributed to the company; it is not a replacement for the permit, monitoring record or acceptance documents.

The official English report says Jushi Group Jiujiang Co., Ltd.'s intelligent base achieved a Grade A environmental-performance rating for heavy-pollution weather and Jushi Group Chengdu Co., Ltd. passed the Grade A re-evaluation. These are company-reported site milestones. They do not supply either base's annual energy use, water use, pollutant totals, acceptance outcome for a specific new line or evidence that no production restriction applied. The annual report's linked statutory disclosures for Jiujiang and Chengdu have not been successfully read, so their detailed reporting records remain unresolved.

The official English sustainability report states that environmental protection expenditure in 2025 was RMB 221.6748 million. This is an expenditure measure, separate from the environmental investment budget in a particular project approval and from the report’s green and low-carbon initiative totals. The company says all six production bases held ISO 14001 environmental-management certification, while six manufacturing legal entities represented 85.7% of that population. Bases and legal entities are different counts. Certification is a management-system claim; it does not demonstrate that a specific furnace passed environmental acceptance or that every measured discharge complied with its permit.

RMB 221,674,800

For 2025, the company reports 69 external environmental inspections across domestic and overseas bases, no environmental administrative penalties, and no emissions exceeding standards. It separately reports 201 internal environmental inspections and rectification within the specified timeframe. These are attributed company disclosures, not a new independent review of each inspection or permit. The detailed Jiujiang and Chengdu statutory entries and the 180,000-tonne approval attachment remain unread because the earlier retrieval attempts failed. The permit-number difference in the Zhejiang submission remains isolated. None of these gaps is used to assert a permit breach, absence of restrictions, commissioning or line-level emissions.

The report explains wastewater treatment through reclaimed-water reuse, membrane bioreactor treatment and reverse osmosis, alongside separation of stormwater and sewage. Its 2025 wastewater table excludes Egypt and the United States: industrial discharge was 2,603,763 tonnes and domestic discharge 24,048 tonnes, together matching the 2,627,811-tonne discharge figure already recorded. These are components, not additional water use. The company reports recycling approximately 35,090 tonnes of hard waste fiber with RMB 17.97 million of raw-material cost savings, and dry-method reuse of approximately 9,278 tonnes of sludge generating RMB 5.72 million of revenue. These recovery outcomes are company-reported; no allocation to an individual line or inference of additional consolidated profit is made. The separate domestic solid-waste table is not combined with statutory subsidiary emissions.

The company’s action plan targets carbon peaking by 2027 and carbon neutrality by 2057; these are objectives. Its 2025 progress table reports an 18.7% reduction in carbon emissions from reinforcement roving against a 20.0% target relative to the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan period, explicitly falling short. The separately reported 2025 Scope 1 and 2 total remains 2,344,799 tonnes CO2e for the perimeter excluding Egypt and the US; the displayed components sum to one tonne less and are retained as published. The new Scope 3 inventory reports 7,127,349.37 tonnes CO2e across eight value-chain categories. Category 10 covers only processing needed for glass-fiber fabrics and pultruded panels used in wind-power products, and the company intends to expand this tracking. Scope 3 is not a site-emissions total or a comparable six-base total. The assurance appendix has now been read; its limited scope is described separately.

Electricity consumption, purchased power, self-generated power and electricity fed into the grid represent different flows. The English report’s table gives self-generated wind-power consumption of 155,092 MWh, but also labels 155,092 MWh as annual purchased green-certificate electricity. Another passage discusses generation and trading. Without a reconciliation, those equal numbers are not assumed to be the same transaction or added as separate incremental energy savings. The printed glass-fiber energy intensity of 282.92 tce/t is also left unnormalised because its unit is unresolved. The reported 15 MW/30 MWh Chengdu storage installation separates power from stored energy; its more-than-14 GWh annual balancing effect is expected, not a metered 2025 saving. These limitations do not change the separately recorded domestic aggregate energy totals.

The report includes a statement from TÜV Rheinland (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., dated 16 March 2026, describing AA1000AS v3 Type 2 assurance at a Moderate level for selected performance indicators and nonfinancial qualitative information chosen by China Jushi. Work used sampling, including observation of a manufacturing unit in Zhejiang. The appendix lists sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate emissions, Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gases, water extraction and discharge, coal and electricity consumption, purchased green electricity, self-generated wind and photovoltaic consumption, and nonhazardous waste utilisation, plus selected employee, supplier and training indicators. It does not list every metric on this page: for example, VOC emissions, natural gas, Scope 3, energy intensity and product-footprint figures are not identified as selected indicators. The statement explicitly excludes annual financial reports and financial data and does not guarantee forward-looking information. This assurance is not independent editorial approval of SinoFilings’ English research.
