Increasing annual income for fruit growers by RMB 500 million, supporting rural revitalization

CHANGYU has actively fulfilled its social responsibilities, supporting rural revitalization through viticulture and wine industry. It generates an additional income of RMB 500 million yuan for farmers across the China annually.

Energy consumption per ton of wine meeting the national green factory standard

CHANGYU R&D and Production Center has an annual production capacity of 150k tons, with 15 air compressors and 6 refrigeration units. These equipment generate a significant amount of heat during operation. The CHANGYU waste heat recovery system saves RMB 1 million yuan in steam costs annually, effectively reducing production costs, and the energy consumption per ton of wine meets the national green factory standard.

Saving 80k tons of water per year

The bottle washing machine utilizes purified water to clean the interior of the bottles, ensuring the internal quality of the products. The reclaimed water is then used to rinse the exterior of the bottles, and subsequently recycled and directed into the fire water tank. This process enables an annual water savings of 80k tons.

Energy-efficient & eco-friendly – one-click for temperature change of the wine

The wine temperature in the finished wine workshop of CHANGYU is -4°C, and it needs to be heated to room temperature when flowing to the filling workshop, while the wine from the original wine center is at room temperature and needs to be cooled down. The Company uses a plate-type heat exchanger to realize the heat exchange between low-temperature wine and room-temperature wine, achieving the effect of cooling the room-temperature wine and heating the low-temperature wine. The heat generated by the air compressor providing power is also used to heat the low-temperature wine through water heating, and the used water is also used for machine cleaning.

Lightweight, thin-walled bottles reducing bottle energy consumption by 13%

CHANGYU has adopted lightweight, thin-walled bottles for over 95% of its products. While maintaining the strength of the wine bottles, the bottle weight has been reduced from 540g to 410g, a material reduction of over 20%. This has also led to a 20% decrease in energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions during the bottle production process. The application of lightweight bottles has resulted in a 1.3-ton reduction in the weight of wine per shipping container, and an annual weight reduction of approximately 20k tons. This has led to decreased fuel consumption and emissions from transportation vehicles, achieving both economic and environmental benefits.

“Gravity-assisted winemaking” saving 30% of energy

The height difference between the CHANGYU Material Wine Center and the Bottling Center is 12 meters. By utilizing this height difference to generate potential energy, the wine transportation process can achieve an energy-saving effect of approximately 30%.

Introduced the “fertigation” drip irrigation system, reducing fertilizer input by 30%

In the vineyard, CHANGYU has introduced the world-leading NETAFIM “fertigation” drip irrigation system, which can precisely time and quantify the water and nutrient requirements of grapes at different growth stages, achieving a 50% reduction in water usage, a 99% decrease in labor, and a 30% saving in fertilizer input.

Improved logistics model & adopted three-layer cartons, with annual paper reduction of 3k tons

In 2013, CHANGYU implemented a nationwide logistics model of pallet circulation, where the entire transportation and unloading process did not require unpacking the pallets. This significantly improved CHANGYU’s logistics environment, enabling the application of three-layer cartons, which reduced the use of one layer of corrugated paper, one layer of core paper, and the adhesive between the two paper layers. This resulted in a 30% reduction in fluting machine energy consumption and a 15% increase in single-vehicle transport capacity. Additionally, through technical improvements, the tear resistance of the cartons was enhanced, Maintain the strength of the cardboard box. By promoting the use of three-layer cardboard boxes, the comprehensive procurement cost of cardboard boxes has been reduced by 18%, while reducing the use of 3000 tons of paper.

CHANGYU was awarded the “Social Responsibility Brand of the Year” by 2021 IFENG Fashion Choice

At the 2021 IFENG Fashion Choice Awards Ceremony, CHANGYU was honored with the “Social Responsibility Brand of the Year”. The citation stated, “The Company has established 13,333 ha of vineyards nationwide, generating nearly RMB 800 million yuan in annual income for grape growers, lifting thousands of rural households out of poverty and enabling them to prosper. They have transformed the barren land into vineyards producing exquisite wines, and ensured every family enjoys a better life. CHANGYU has always had the nation’s interests at heart, courageously fulfilling their mission, setting a benchmark for China’s wine industry.”

CHANGYU was awarded the “2021 Responsible China” – Annual Rural Revitalization Pioneer Enterprise

At the “2021 Responsible China Annual Gala” hosted by the Southern Metropolis Daily, CHANGYU was awarded the “2021 Responsible China” – Annual Rural Revitalization Pioneer Enterprise.
