Beijing Chaoyang Circular Economy Industrial Park is located in the south of Jinzhan Township, Chaoyang District. The total area of the park is 1,956,500 square meters, or 2,935 mu. It is among the first industrialised waste treatment parks in Beijing, and has become the practice base of the School of Environment of Tsinghua University, the College of Environmental Sciences and Engineering of Peking University, China Agricultural University, and the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The construction of the park upholds one of the guiding socio-economic principles of the Communist Party of China, i.e. the Scientific Outlook on Development. The design of the Park takes resource recovery as the core principle and sustainable development as the direction, adopting unified planning and thorough implementation in order to build a technologically advanced solid waste treatment and comprehensive utilization facility. It serves as a solid waste recycling center, but also as a solid waste treatment research & development education center and a circular economy’s industry development demonstration center.
