Business structure strategy focus adjustment, the formation of "3-3" coordinated development pattern of the company listed in 2010, is the leading domestic high-temperature filter media enterprises, after listing through mergers and acquisitions to extend the upstream and downstream business of flue gas management. However, due to the decline of industry demand and financial deleveraging in 2017 and 2018, the performance of M & A projects fluctuated greatly.

In 2017, after Shanghai Zhongchuang Lingxing Energy Technology Co., Ltd. became the actual controller of the company, the company began to strategically adjust its business structure, gradually divesting Xiamen Porting, trade and other businesses, forming a "33rd" with filter material production and sales, flue gas treatment engineering, hazardous waste solid waste disposal as the business core, urban and rural sanitation integrated services, air purification and sewage treatment as business innovation.

A new pattern of coordinated development.

Hazardous solid waste leads to a reversal of performance, steady development of filter media and flue gas treatment, and great potential for sanitation growth.

Hazardous solid waste business: policies related to hazardous solid waste have been introduced intensively, and the new solid waste law in September 2020 is known as "the strictest in history". The construction of "waste-free city" will also lead to a substantial increase in the demand for hazardous waste disposal. It is expected that the marketization of hazardous waste will usher in a period of rapid development during the 14th five-year Plan period, with a market space of more than 200 billion. Hazardous solid waste disposal is the company's strategic development direction, with a firm attitude and rapid action. at present, the total annual handling capacity of talking, trusteeship operation projects and M & A projects is about 800000 tons, of which the annual profit of Xiangsheng can reach 100 million yuan. in addition, the Zhonghuang Ruiping (Henan) 100000-ton cement kiln coordinated disposal project and the Jiangxi Nihua 3000-ton precious metal recovery project are expected to be put into production this year. The gradual operation of hazardous waste projects will become an important growth point of the company's performance and promote the company's performance reversal.

Filter media and smoke treatment business: the emission standards of pollutants in non-electric industries are constantly improving, and the ultra-net emission limits of smoke and dust in non-electric industries such as iron and steel, cement, flat glass, ceramics and other non-electric industries are all below 20 mg/m3, and the market demand for flue gas treatment is determined, which brings deterministic demand for bag dust removal, high temperature filter media and their construction transformation.

The company is a leading enterprise in the domestic high temperature filter media industry, with annual sales of about 4 million square meters in recent years, with high stability. The annual income of Xiamen Bairuifu flue gas project is more than 100 million yuan, which has increased steadily in recent years, and has a high market influence in many fields such as waste incineration and coal chemical industry. Smoke treatment, company filter material business and hazardous waste business can produce good business coordination, and at the same time have the ability of R & D and sales of flue gas engineering related products such as dust removal system, which can directly drive the company's filter material sales at the same time, it can also promote the technical level of the company's filter media business and grasp the direction of market demand. It is expected that the company's filter media-smoke treatment business will rise steadily.
