In recent years, with the perfect end of a number of major energy-saving and environmental protection upgrading projects, such as the company's anode furnace flue gas desulfurization system, heavy oil to natural gas, refining tail gas whitening and other major upgrading projects, it has created a precedent for the technical transformation of refining furnaces in the domestic non-ferrous metals industry. At the same time, the company has also built a new Rain Water collection pool with an initial capacity of 3000 cubic meters, a water resources comprehensive utilization project with a daily capacity of 500m3, and an energy management center, with a total investment of more than 50 million yuan. it has realized the recycling and comprehensive treatment of waste gas, waste water and waste residue, the energy management system has been continuously improved, the integration of the "two modernizations" has been further promoted, and the enterprise has gradually changed from mechanization to industrial automation and intelligence. Remarkable progress has been made in safety, environmental protection, energy saving and so on. Last year, the company was successfully selected by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the first batch of enterprises that meet the "Copper smelting Industry Standard conditions".

At the same time, the company has also earnestly changed its business thinking, taking raw materials as the guarantee, market-oriented, giving full play to the geographical advantages of the Yangtze River Delta, constantly expanding raw material procurement channels, and vigorously opening up miscellaneous copper markets. the number of domestic raw material customers has increased by 30% compared with previous years, and the international raw material market has been actively opened up to increase the import of copper raw materials. In the main product cathode copper sales, for Zhejiang, Shanghai and central Jiangsu, continue to develop new downstream users, further expand market share, increase market share.

"at present, copper prices fluctuate greatly, and we will pay close attention to the price differences between domestic and foreign markets, strengthen market research and judgment, timely expand imports, and seize the benefits of opportunities.

" The person in charge of the company believes that with the completion and production of new domestic copper refining enterprises and reaching the standard, the competition for copper raw materials will be more fierce, and there is still a certain gap in refining copper in the world. Zhangjiagang United Copper has made full ideological preparations: "as long as the raw materials are guaranteed, Zhangjiagang United Copper will be absolutely confident of achieving its production target of 290000 tons of cathode copper by the end of the year."
