"Since starting work on January 29, we have received several groups of merchants from Shenzhen and Dongguan. Among them, Olight Group from Shenzhen, which is expected to generate an annual output value of 1 billion yuan, intends to settle in the park," said Xu Zihe, general office director of Green Gold Bay, an environmental collective industrial park in Xiaolan Town, Zhongshan.

With an investment of over 3 billion yuan and a total floor area of 800,000 square meters, Green Gold Bay is Zhongshan's largest environmental collective industrial park renovation project, and it is attractive to enterprises engaged in metal surface treatment from Shenzhen, Dongguan, Foshan and Jiangmen cities as well as from northwestern Zhongshan.

Covering an area of 307 mu, Green Gold Bay will be built in two phases. In the first phase, a high-end environmental collective industrial park will be constructed to accommodate enterprises in paint spraying, powder spraying, electrophoresis and other fileds. It will gradually develop into a one-stop manufacturing base for the surface treatment industry. Through centralized sewage treatment, waste gas collection and treatment, one-stop disposal of hazardous solid waste, comprehensive and efficient energy supply, it aims to build an intelligent environmental park.

The second phase will be built for emerging industries, and it will develop into a production base for intelligent manufacturing and next-generation technologies within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

It is reported that the park has partnered up with German company TÜV Rheinland, planning to set up a Greater Bay Area carbon trading market.
