Yulong Eco-Materials of China begins hauling and recycling operations

Building products manufacturing company Yulong Eco-Materials Limited of Pinddingshan, China, reports that it has begun waste hauling and recycling operations in the Lingyuan district section of a high-speed railway construction project in the city of Shangqiu, Henan Province. The railway will connect the cities of Zhengzhou in Henan Province and Xuzhou in Jiangsu Province. Yulong won the contract from a central government agency.

“We believe that our work on this prestigious project will help us secure further hauling and recycling contracts outside our core market of Pingdingshan. In fact, we are currently in discussions for one such contract in the city of Zhengzhou, the provincial capital of Henan Province,” the company says in a press release.

Yulong has redeployed 15 hauling trucks from its existing operations in Pingdingshan to Shangqiu. As per the terms of the contract, Yulong will receive 19 RMB (or approximately $3) per metric ton of hauled waste. The Liangyuan district site is projected to generate over 1.3 million metric tons of construction waste through its completion, the company says.

The collected waste is processed at a company-owned mobile recycling station, which has an annual processing capacity of 2 million metric tons. The company expects to generate additional revenue by selling the processed waste as raw materials to local construction companies.

Yulong Zhu, CEO of Yulong, comments, “We believe that our work on this prestigious project will help us secure further hauling and recycling contracts outside our core market of Pingdingshan. In fact, we are currently in discussions for one such contract in the city of Zhengzhou, the provincial capital of Henan Province.

“Our company is well positioned to capitalize on significant opportunities arising from China’s growing public consciousness regarding the need to recycle construction waste, a trend we believe will be instrumental in helping Yulong expand into other cities and provinces.”

The company is a producer of fly-ash bricks and concrete in Pinddingshan and in late April 2015 commenced hauling and construction waste recycling operations.
