As one of the key projects during the 11th Five-Year Period in Guangzhou and Guangdong Province, the construction of Yuexiu Guangzhou Paper Making Group, an environmentally-friendly paper making firm, has been formally initiated in Nansha District of Guangzhou.

Involving a total investment of RMB7.5 billion, the whole project is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2011.

The base will mainly produce press used paper. It is expected that the production scale of the base will reach 1 million tons each year.

The principal facility at the base will be the No.9 paper machine made by Metso Paper Company. With it, both the quantity of water emissions and liquid pollutants are reduced by half that of current paper machine technology.
