 The Global Environmental Technologies Team of the U.S. Commercial Service is pleased to announce a webinar highlighting the abundant opportunities in China’s environmental sector and the new China Industrial Parks Initiative designed to assist U.S. companies to capture market share. China has over 7,000 industrial parks, which play a crucial role in driving economic development. The 219 national-level industrial parks represent 11% of China’s GDP and 20% of industrial output. As the Chinese government aims to achieve eco-industrial development, only 30% of current parks meet China’s new environmental regulations. Thus, these parks represent unique opportunities for U.S. environmental companies.
Participants in the Industrial Park Initiative will enjoy access to vetted end-user technical needs, access to industrial park roadshows and promotional programs, partner with other U.S. environmental solution providers, and receive expert advice.
To learn more, please join us on a webinar:

AFNOR, the national standards
body of France, has proposed to lead new standardization work in the
International Organization for Standardization (ISO) on the circular economy
that will be focused on developing requirements, frameworks, guidance, and
supporting tools. The circular economy aims to keep resources in use for as
long as possible by extracting the maximum value from them while in use, and
recycling materials at the end of their service cycle. This work would affect
any organization or group of organizations wishing to implement circular
economy projects, such as commercial organizations, public services, and
not-for-profit organizations. The goal of this work is to support circular
economy projects in a way that contributes to sustainable development.
Commerce’s Office of Standards
and Investment Policy (OSIP) and the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) are teaming up to alert U.S. parties so they may have the chance to
comment on this standards development work, particularly identifying any
concerns now about duplication of existing standards or programs, or expressing
support for the work, and later with respect to becoming involved in the
standards development committee, if the proposal advances.
ANSI welcomes comments on France’s proposal by August 10.
Contact Steve Cornish at SCornish@ansi.org to submit comments
or Renee Hancher in ITA at Renee.Hancher@trade.gov with any
questions.
