Thanks to its consistent efforts, the ambient air quality has been improving, reaching the Grade-II standards of the country，the water environment is getting better and better, with smooth  watercourses and beautiful banks, and the water security is well guaranteed under the “dual-source, dual-channel” water supply system. Besides, soil is protected, and pollution and noise are effectively controlled. The local ecological system shows enhanced stability.

At the same time, SIP has set up comprehensive sewage treatment plants, sludge drying plants, waste treatment plants and hazardous waste management units with high standards to support high-level development of the local ecosystem.
