🌱 Once known as the world’s e-waste dumping ground, the small southern town of Guiyu in the Chinese mainland has transformed into a high-tech recycling powerhouse! A decade ago, Guiyu’s air was thick with toxic fumes from family-run workshops burning discarded electronics. But today, it’s leading China’s green revolution with cutting-edge automation and smart tracking systems.
✨ The breakthrough came in 2015 when the Guiyu Circular Economy Industrial Park opened. Authorities relocated small businesses to this eco-friendly hub, where machines now safely dismantle old phones, laptops, and gadgets. Over 70% of materials like copper, gold, and plastics get recycled here – boosting both the environment and the economy.
🔍 Fun fact: They process 400,000+ tons of e-waste annually while keeping emissions ultra-low! The park’s AI-powered waste-sorting tech could inspire cities worldwide. #GreenGoals
💡 As one local engineer told us: "We’re turning yesterday’s pollution into tomorrow’s solutions." Perfect timing as China pushes carbon neutrality by 2060!
