Established in 2006, Quan Chau JSC., specializes in producing PP plastic bags to meet the need of the domestic market.

With Quan Chau Company, the main pollution sources from the production process are wastewater, air emissions. On average, everyday the Company discharged 50 m3 wastewater from the bag cleaning process to the environment. Pollutant concentrations in the effluent are higher than permissible standard. Air emission is generated mainly in the heating of plastic to form grains. The emissions include CO, NO2, SO2 that causes bad smell and discomfort and problem to workers, hence reduce working efficiency.

Realizing the need for CP application in order to improve production efficiency and solve environmental problems, the Company has actively participated in CP demonstration project of the Cleaner Production in Industry since 2008.

A CP team was established with 17 members with the assignments of review and identification of obstacles, solutions for energy and resources efficiency. The team has cooperated with CP expert to assess the whole production line, which is the process consuming much  raw materials and energy, and at the same time, having potential risks of environmental pollution. If the line was improved, the Company could have much economic benefits as well as reduce environmental pollution.

The Team had proposed 22 CP solutions, in which, 18 were applied and brought the below benefits:
