    “It is a great honor for me to be a member to participate in the construction of Sino-German Metal Eco-City, and ALBA Group is willing to bring German advanced experience and technology to Jieyang and Sino-German Metal Eco-City, making effort to create the cooperative project as a model of recycling and green industry in Guangdong and even in China.” Yesterday CEO of ALBA Group Dr. Axel Schweitzer said excitedly when he was interviewed.

    Dr. Axel Schweitzer has a favorable impression of Jieyang during his first visit to Jieyang. “I have been to China for several times, and Jieyang makes a deep impression on me, especially through what I saw these days. I learn about the pragmatic and excellent work of the government officials, appreciate Jieyang’s beautiful natural scenery and understand the situation and the needs of Jieyang industries and environmental protection industries. I believe that Jieyang has good development prospect, and it is a proper choice to cooperate with Jieyang.”

    It is known that ALBA Group is European leading environmental services and raw materials supplier, owning the most advanced technology of solid waste treatment, as one of ten environmental service and resource regeneration companies. Now ALBA Group is committed to researching and promoting the third-generation household waste treatment technology, and seeking cooperation in China to implement and promote the technology. Dr. Axel Schweitzer says that ALBA Group is willing to bring its advanced experience and technology to Jieyang and Sino-German Metal Eco-City. “Adopting the third-generation household waste treatment technology not only achieves the maximization of recycling the household waste, but also avoids secondary pollution effectively, so it is a kind of completely clean and green technology.”

    Dr. Axel Schweitzer says that the waste treatment technology adopted by ALBA Group causes less impact on the environment, which the traditional technology of waste incineration and landfill cannot compare with. This advantage should be promoted in a more open and transparent way in order to make it known and supported by more people and help the project become a good project that is well supported by the policies, jointly accomplished by top enterprises, and widely accepted by people. He expresses that the cooperation of both sides will be expanded to other fields in the future and the cooperative project will be created as a model of recycling and green industry in Guangdong and even in China.
