New Wide started to improve the environmental management system and gradually improved energy efficiency. In order to appropriately plan environmentally friendly projects, New Wide implements various energy surveys actively, and launches reduction actions to contribute to the energy conservation and emission reduction of the industry. For enterprises, high-efficiency production processes are important to achieve international standards. New Wide has professional team to effectively ensure that high-quality raw materials could be used in every production line. For examples, application of gas-liquid flow dyeing machine, the bath ratio is 1: 3.5, which can save 81,000 tons of water per year compared with the old dyeing machines.

New Wide information system has been fully oriented to the standard operating process (SOP) management, and introduced a new enterprise resource planning system (ERP), which can handle the abnormal conditions in real time and improve process quality and reduce energy waste in addition to completely controlling the production progress.

Vietnam and Changzhou New Wide established a monitoring and integration system, including air pressure, electricity, dyeing process, waste water discharge, on-site warning system, etc. At the same time, Datacolor, ERP, SPC and other systems are integrated to achieve the automatic ordering function. By linking various pieces of information to improve manufacturing efficiency across processes, and using data to promote "human-machine cooperation" is the ultimate goal.

The wastewater treatment methods of each plant are all in accordance with local laws, regulations, and standards of the current national environmental protection policies. Changzhou factory has set up a real-time wastewater monitoring system to know the status of wastewater in real time to ensure the continuous and good operation of wastewater treatment.
Printing and dyeing plant wastewater treatment is to reduce sludge as the main purpose of this plan, and strive to achieve sludge reduction during the treatment process. At the same time, the residues generated during the wastewater treatment process should be properly disposed to avoid secondary pollution. In terms of domestic sewage, they are all discharged into the sewage sewer of the factory area, so the wastewater discharge will not cause any pollution to the natural water.
