As a key building component, building forgings are of great significance to the sustainable development of the building industry. In recent years, with the increasing attention to environmental protection and resource utilization, the green manufacturing and circular economy of building forgings have become more and more important. This paper will introduce the green manufacturing and circular economy of building forgings, aiming to provide reference for the development of related fields.
First, green manufacturing
Green manufacturing refers to the continuous improvement of design, the use of clean energy and raw materials, the use of green production processes and other measures, in the whole life cycle of the product to reduce the negative impact on the environment, improve the efficiency of resource use of production methods. In the field of building forgings, green manufacturing mainly involves the following aspects:
Optimized design and material selection: Environmentally friendly materials and low energy consumption design are used to reduce the environmental load of products during use.
Production process optimization: reduce the emission of pollutants in the production process by improving the forging process, using clean energy and selecting environmentally friendly equipment.
Recycling and reuse: Improve the recycling rate of building forgings, reduce waste and reduce dependence on natural resources.
In order to achieve green manufacturing, we need to take a series of measures, including the development of green manufacturing standards, the promotion of environmental protection technology and improve the environmental awareness of enterprises. In addition, the government should increase support for green manufacturing, encourage enterprises to use clean energy and environmental protection equipment, and improve the overall level of green manufacturing in the industry.
Second, circular economy
Circular economy refers to the transformation of the traditional linear economic model of “resource – product – waste” into the circular economic model of “resource – product – renewable resources” in order to maximize the use of resources and minimize waste. In the field of building forgings, circular economy mainly involves the following aspects:
Recycling: Establish a recycling network for building forgings, and classify, recycle and recycle discarded forgings.
Energy cascade utilization: the waste heat and energy generated in the forging process are utilized in different stages to improve energy utilization efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
Industrial synergy: Strengthen the cooperation between upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain, achieve resource sharing and optimal allocation, and improve the overall industrial efficiency.
The development of circular economy needs the joint efforts of government, enterprises and society. The government should establish corresponding laws and regulations to promote the idea and practice of circular economy; Enterprises should actively adopt clean energy, environmental protection technology and recycling schemes; Society should enhance the awareness of resources and support the development of circular economy.
Iii. Case analysis
Taking a large construction enterprise as an example, the enterprise actively promotes green manufacturing and circular economy in the forging manufacturing process. First of all, the enterprise adopts advanced forging process and equipment to improve production efficiency and reduce energy consumption and pollutant emissions. Secondly, the company classifies and recyls forging waste to achieve efficient use of resources. In addition, the company has also strengthened cooperation with upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain to achieve optimal allocation and sharing of resources.
Through the implementation of these measures, the enterprise has not only improved the quality and production efficiency of building forgings, but also reduced the negative impact on the environment, and achieved good economic and social benefits. However, there is still some room for improvement, such as further optimization of forging process parameters and improvement of waste recovery efficiency.
Iv. Conclusion
Green manufacturing and circular economy of building forgings are of great significance to the sustainable development of building industry. By continuously taking improvement measures to improve resource utilization efficiency and reduce the negative impact on the environment, we can promote the green transformation and upgrading of the construction forgings industry. In this process, the joint efforts of the government, enterprises and society are indispensable. The government should formulate corresponding policies and regulations to promote the concept and practice of green manufacturing and circular economy; Enterprises should actively adopt clean energy, environmental protection technology and recycling schemes; Society should enhance resource awareness and support the development of green manufacturing and circular economy.
