Quzhou in Zhejiang province has in recent years made significant strides in sustainable development by optimizing economic and energy structures, upgrading its construction and transportation sectors, and promoting green living and consumption.

One notable example of this progress is the Longding tea plantation in Kaihua county, which is proud to have received a carbon label to quantify and showcase its minimal environmental impact. By scanning the QR code on the carbon label, consumers can access a comprehensive report detailing the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production and operation of the tea.

Zhu Yingjie, a representative of Zhejiang Environmental Technology Co, emphasized that the carbon label serves as a means of indicating the environmental impact of goods by quantifying their greenhouse gas emissions.

Zhu added that this rating system not only guides society towards adopting low-carbon consumption practices, but also drives local industrial development, ultimately contributing to increased income for farmers.

Furthermore, Quzhou has taken the lead in formulating the first national standard for low-carbon camping sites, which outlines stringent low-carbon construction and operational requirements across various facets such as energy, environment, transportation, waste disposal, and operations.

In support of these initiatives, Quzhou has introduced a suite of green financial credit policies designed to facilitate the implementation of green and low-carbon practices, including the launch of eight financial products tailored to provide differentiated loan policies for different entities.

Furthermore, Changshan county has implemented a carbon emission accounting system, which integrates automatic calculation and early warning functions. Currently, 66 large-scale pomelo planters have established carbon accounts, with a total carbon emission of over 2,000 metric tons, a total carbon sequestration of over 2,200 tons, and a net carbon absorption of over 200 tons.
