As global attention on carbon neutrality and sustainable development intensifies, Tianjin Youfa Steel Pipe Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Youfa Group") continues to lead the steel pipe industry in green transformation. Recently, multiple subsidiaries of Youfa Group have been included in the 2025 National Green Factory list released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, further solidifying the company's position as a pacesetter in green manufacturing. In response to the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), Youfa Group has proactively organized its subsidiaries to conduct carbon footprint data collection for carbon steel products, actively preparing for the international low-carbon market and demonstrating the company's determination and capability to open up the European market.
Multiple Factories Recognized as National Green Factories, Green Manufacturing Scale Continues to Expand
In February 2026, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the 2025 Green Manufacturing list, with Handan Youfa Steel Pipe Co., Ltd. and Jiangsu Youfa Steel Pipe Co., Ltd. successfully selected as National Green Factories. This recognition represents the highest level of authoritative endorsement for green manufacturing, covering multiple dimensions including intensive land use, harmless raw materials, clean production, waste resource utilization, and low-carbon energy. With these two new additions, Youfa Group now has a total of 5 subsidiaries awarded the title of National Green Factory. Previously selected enterprises include Youfa Group First Branch, Youfa Pipeline Technology Co., Ltd., and Tangshan Zhengyuan Pipe Co., Ltd.
Additionally, in November 2025, Shaanxi Youfa Steel Pipe Co., Ltd. was successfully selected in the Shaanxi Provincial Green Manufacturing list, receiving the honor of "Shaanxi Green Factory". This marks a systematic leap forward in the company's green manufacturing system, achieving comprehensive upgrades from products to factories.
Obtaining EPD Certificates for Square and Rectangular Pipes and Spray-Coated Fire Pipes, Enhancing Product Transparency
Not only has Youfa Group made significant achievements at the factory level, but it has also made substantial progress in product environmental footprint disclosure. Youfa Group's factories have obtained Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certificates for square and rectangular pipes and spray-coated fire pipes. EPD certificates, based on life cycle assessment, provide transparent and comparable environmental impact data for products, which is particularly significant for the European market. European buyers place high importance on the environmental performance of products throughout their entire life cycle, and EPD certificates, as internationally recognized "green passports," provide strong support for Youfa Group's products to enter the EU market.
Proactively Responding to EU CBAM Policy, Systematically Collecting Carbon Footprint Data
In the face of the EU's upcoming Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, Youfa Group has taken a proactive approach. The company has actively organized its subsidiary factories to conduct carbon footprint data collection for carbon steel products during the production process. This data not only covers direct emissions from the production process but also includes indirect emissions from upstream energy consumption and raw material acquisition. Through refined data management, Youfa Group can provide EU customers with accurate carbon footprint data for products, helping them better respond to CBAM reporting requirements and reducing the risk of carbon border taxes.
Green Supply Chain Management, Building Sustainable Development Ecosystem
Youfa Group not only focuses on its own green transformation but also extends green concepts throughout the entire supply chain. The company gives priority to environmentally friendly, energy-saving, and low-consumption raw materials and services, continuously improving procurement standards and systems. By comprehensively considering energy conservation and environmental protection factors in multiple aspects including product design, procurement, production, packaging, logistics, sales, service, recycling, and reuse, Youfa Group works together with upstream and downstream enterprises to fulfill environmental protection and energy-saving social responsibilities, creating a green supply chain.
International Certification System, Laying the Foundation for Global Market Access
To standardize enterprise management and meet international market requirements, Youfa Group has passed multiple management system certifications, including ISO9001:2015 Quality Management System, ISO14001:2015 Environmental Management System, ISO45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management System, and ISO50001:2011 Energy Management System. The group has 7 CNAS (China National Accreditation Service) accredited laboratories, 2 provincial-level enterprise technology centers, and 1 provincial-level welded pipe engineering technology center, providing a solid foundation for entering the high-end EU market.
Continuously Promoting Green Technology Innovation, Achieving Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction
In terms of technology research and development, Youfa Group continues to increase investment. The company independently developed azeotropic multi-effect waste hydrochloric acid comprehensive recovery process for waste acid recycling and reuse. Since January 2017, each production line has been equipped with waste heat evaporators, achieving energy savings of 6,825 tons of standard coal. In December 2017, the company installed photovoltaic power generation devices, with cumulative photovoltaic power generation reaching 3.34 million kWh by June 2019. The implementation of these technological innovations has not only reduced production costs but also significantly lowered environmental impact.
Looking to the Future, Deepening Green Development
Looking ahead to the 15th Five-Year Plan period, Youfa Group will continue to deepen the steel pipe industry chain, constantly consolidate product quality, and enhance product added value. Against the backdrop of the "dual carbon" goals, Youfa Group will continue to increase investment in green technology research and development, deepen the integration of digital intelligence and green development, promote synergistic development of intelligent manufacturing and green manufacturing, convert green manufacturing advantages into core competitiveness for high-quality enterprise development, and provide international customers with more environmentally friendly and reliable steel pipe products and services.
With its outstanding performance in green manufacturing, active response to EU CBAM policy, transparent product environmental data, and continuously improving international certification system, Youfa Group is becoming the preferred partner for European buyers. Youfa Steel Pipe circulates the world and supports the globe!
