Company Introduction

Sustainable Development of Tonghe

There is no such thing as waste in the world, only resources misplaced. Aluminum possesses excellent recyclability, allowing it to be reused multiple times without affecting its performance. The recycling of aluminum does not cause environmental pollution, with energy consumption being less than 5% of that required for primary aluminum production. The industrial process is short, with minimal emissions of harmful gases and dust. From the perspectives of resources, environment, market, as well as social and economic benefits, aluminum recycling is a cause that benefits the present and contributes to future generations.

Driven by our pursuit of this noble cause, in 2018, eight companies—Hunan Hengxinrui Nonferrous Metals Co., Ltd., Miluo Ruishen Nonferrous Metals Co., Ltd., Miluo Guixin Nonferrous Metals Co., Ltd., Hunan Boji Nonferrous Metals Co., Ltd., Hunan Xinlong Yunyun Metal Products Co., Ltd., Miluo Xiongjun Nonferrous Metals Co., Ltd., Miluo CNGR Nonferrous Metals Co., Ltd., and Miluo Xiangheng Nonferrous Metals Co., Ltd.—were restructured to form the new Hunan Tonghe New Material Co., Ltd. We invested 200 million yuan in the Miluo Circular Economy Industrial Park in Hunan Province to build a new production facility with an annual capacity of 200,000 mt of die-cast aluminum alloy ingots and secondary aluminum billets. Based on the concept of industrial ecology, we adopted internationally advanced scientific technologies to improve the quality of secondary aluminum while minimizing or even eliminating the adverse environmental impacts of aluminum recycling. A garden-style secondary aluminum plant, surpassing international advanced standards, was established in the Miluo Circular Economy Industrial Park in Hunan.

No matter how times change, Tonghe will always adhere to the development philosophy of integrity, conservation, environmental protection, and sustainable operation. We will continue to forge ahead, innovate boldly, and prioritize people, thereby fulfilling our social responsibility of united and harmonious development as Tonghe Company.
