“In the past, electroplating enterprises were distributed in various streets and residential areas in urban areas. water and gases were highly polluted, and people had a lot of complaints.” Wu Jinlin, deputy director of Lucheng District Environmental Protection Bureau said. Unifying scattered electroplating enterprises into the park, centralized production, centralized management, centralized pollution control, and intensive management will promote the transformation and upgrading of the whole industry. As a result, the total wastewater reduction rate of the electroplating industry reached 38.33%, and the reduction rate of total chromium, nickel, copper and other heavy metal emissions reached more than 50%, and the water environment quality was significantly improved.

This successful model has been promoted in the province, and the electroplating industry in Taizhou, Jiande and other places have come to Wenzhou to learn the success secret. 

After applying the restrictions, the economy becomes better and grows faster. 

In Wenzhou Houjing Electroplating Park, the reporter met Mr. Lin. He has just experienced the "big ups and downs" of the factory. " There was a time to relocate. After the news was released, many cooperative companies did not dare to give us a single order. Some workers also left because of the 'gray future' of the electroplating factory." Mr. said that the salesmen had no works to do, and there are still several workers on the first floor of the three-storey factory.

“Re-investment” or “find another way out" is a choice in front of every electroplater for a while. Unlike other industries, most of the electroplating companies’ bosses are “the second generation” or even “the third generations”. The impact of this industry on them is deeply rooted. "The signboard of the electroplating factory has been uploaded from the hand of Aye, and it is not easy to do it." Mr. Lin said.

Since we insist on doing it, we only need to transform the production workshop and upgrade the process equipment. “Relocation into the park is just an opportunity, and we are forced to pay attention to improve technology.” Mr. Lin invested a million and re-introduced two production lines. "Now the order has been filled to next year. In addition, the park has concentrated on helping us to treat sewage and waste gas. The cost of this part of the park has been greatly reduced, so the efficiency of this year's factory is better than last year, and the profit can increase by 10%."

The reporter learned that most of the electroplating production processes, such as Mr. Lin, have changed from traditional manual lines to automatic lines. At present, the automation rate of production lines in the park is over 80%. In 2012, the output value of Wenzhou electroplating industry did not fall, and the city's electroplating processing output value exceeded 5.5 billion yuan, an increase of about 8%.
