Environmental Industry: Concept Planning, Development Status and Path Choice

Abstract

Environmental industry aiming at controlling environmental pollution, improving ecological environment and protecting natural resources, is the collective name of activities such as technological development, products production, commercial distribution and resource utilization. China’s traditional environmental industry attaches most importance to pollution control and a large number of small and medium enterprises are on the low end in fierce competition for lack of core competitiveness; marketing mechanism with technological transaction, transfer and diffusion has not yet formed and insufficient financial support encumbers industrial advancement and centralization. To boost the development of environmental industry, China needs to adjust industrial structure and optimize environmental protection technology innovation and achievement transformation mechanism. In addition, cluster development of environmental industry and construction of specialized park should be encouraged, and a sound investment and financing system of diversification of environmental industry should be set up.
