Green building materials industry development has become the building materials industry to stabilize growth of key work initiatives

Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology National Development and Reform Commission Ministry of Finance Ministry of Natural Resources Ministry of Ecology and Environment Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development Ministry of Commerce Ministry of Commerce General Administration of Financial Supervision issued the "Building Materials Industry Steady Growth Work Program" (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Lianyuan [2023] No. 129), which puts forward the new era of the building materials industry's development direction of high-end, intelligent, green and integration, and emphasizes the requirements of enhancing the level of green development, and specifies the work objectives of the average annual growth of more than 10% of the business revenues of the green building materials on-board enterprises in the period from 2023 to 2024.

Focusing on the promotion of green building materials and planting the concept of green consumption, the Program clearly puts forward specific work initiatives to carry out in-depth green building materials activities in the countryside, expand the popularization and application of green building materials in cities, and promote the synergistic development of green building materials and green buildings, and puts forward a work path to improve the green building materials product certification system.

Excerpts from the Stable Growth Work Program for the Building Materials Industry, which involves green building materials work initiatives, are set out below:

Deepening the development of green building materials activities in rural areas. It has formulated and issued an action plan for the high-quality development of green building materials, enriched the applicable green building materials product system in rural areas, formulated a recommended catalog of green building materials products according to local conditions, and promoted the consumption of green building materials. Encourage e-commerce platforms and offline stores to set up special zones to optimize the distribution channels and the layout of sales outlets. Carry out leading enterprises to benefit the people's action, encourage backbone enterprises to develop preferential promotional measures to provide cost-effective products and services. For different application fields such as agricultural housing and infrastructure, encourage the use of bulk cement, ready-mixed concrete, ready-mixed mortar and other products, and support the development of typical demonstrations of green construction solutions and the provision of system solutions. Strengthen publicity and guidance efforts to further enhance the concept of green building materials consumption, and boost the level of green consumption in the building materials market. On the basis of the pilot project of green building materials products going to the countryside, localities are encouraged to actively explore new modes of green building materials industry going to the countryside, and to promote the deeper development of green building materials activities going to the countryside.

Expanding the promotion and application of green building materials in cities. Accelerate the implementation of government procurement policies to support green building materials and promote building quality improvement, improve the government procurement demand standards for green buildings and green building materials, and require that government projects included in the scope of implementation of the policy should adopt and apply all relevant green building material products, and accelerate the promotion and application of energy-saving, low-carbon, safe and cost-effective green building materials in government projects. Promote green transportation, create a green supply chain, medium and long-distance transportation priority use of railroads or waterways, short and medium-distance transportation to encourage the use of pipeline corridors, new energy vehicles or vehicles to meet the National VI emission standards. Organize pilot demonstrations of the application of green building materials in projects, guide backbone construction enterprises to increase the scope of application and procurement of green building materials, promote the synergistic development of green building materials and green buildings, and raise the proportion of green building materials used in new buildings and the renovation of existing buildings.

Improve the green building materials product certification system. Improve the green building materials product evaluation standard system, further expand the scope of implementation of green building materials product certification, establish and improve the green building materials product certification data and information collection mechanism, accelerate the green building materials product certification. Give full play to the quality certification to convey trust, service development attributes, promote green building materials product certification data and related credit application database and other interconnections, and promote green building materials product certification results in different sectors, levels of mutual recognition and universal. Encourage third-party organizations to establish public service platforms for green building materials, and support the development of green development and carbon neutral scientific evaluation of the whole life cycle of bulk cement and other products. Combined with green building materials activities in the countryside and government procurement of green building materials to promote building quality improvement pilot work, guide building materials production enterprises to actively carry out green building materials product certification, and strive to increase the number of green building materials certified enterprises by more than 1,500 by the end of 2024, with more than 3,000 types of green building materials certified products.
