The list of green factories for 2025 has been released: Several factories under the Youfa Group have been selected!

According to the 2025 Green Manufacturing List released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, multiple subsidiaries of Youfa Group have been officially recognized as National Green Factories, marking another important milestone in the company's sustainable development strategy.

Youfa Two New National Green Factories Recognized in 2026

In February 2026, the MIIT announced the latest national-level green manufacturing list. Among the selected enterprises, Handan Youfa Steel Pipe Co., Ltd. and Jiangsu Youfa Steel Pipe Co., Ltd. were successfully awarded the title of National Green Factory.

This recognition is granted only to manufacturers that meet strict environmental standards across production processes, energy efficiency, emissions control, and resource utilization. The certification serves as strong proof of Youfa's commitment to environmentally responsible manufacturing.

Expanding a Strong Green Manufacturing Network

With the addition of these two companies, Youfa Group now has five subsidiaries certified as National Green Factories. Previously recognized companies include:

* Youfa Group No.1 Branch

* Youfa Pipeline Technology Co., Ltd.

* Tangshan Zhengyuan Pipe Industry Co., Ltd.

This continuous expansion reflects Youfa's long-term investment in green production systems and its determination to build a low-carbon industrial ecosystem.

Provincial-Level Green Achievements Continue

Beyond national-level recognition, Youfa Group is also making progress at the regional level. In November 2025, Shaanxi Youfa Steel Pipe Co., Ltd. was listed in the provincial green manufacture released by the Shaanxi Department of Industry and Information Technology, earning the title of Shaanxi Provincial Green Factory.

These achievements further demonstrate the group's comprehensive approach to sustainability across all production bases.

What Does "Green Factory" Mean for EU Buyers?

The "Green Factory" certification evaluates companies across multiple dimensions, including:

1. Efficient land use

2. Environmentally friendly raw materials

3. Clean production processes

4. Waste recycling and resource recovery

5. Low-carbon energy consumption

For European buyers, this aligns closely with the requirements of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which places increasing emphasis on the carbon footprint of imported industrial products.

Youfa's Active Response to EU CBAM

As the European Union accelerates the implementation of CBAM, carbon-intensive products such as steel pipes face stricter reporting and cost requirements. Youfa Group has proactively responded by:

● Optimizing production processes to reduce carbon emissions

● Improving energy efficiency through advanced equipment and smart manufacturing

● Enhancing environmental management systems in line with international standards

● Promoting resource recycling to minimize waste and environmental impact

These measures help ensure that Youfa's products—including galvanized steel pipes, black carbon steel pipes, square and rectangular steel pipes, and stainless steel pipes—are better positioned to meet EU import regulations.

Why EU Buyers Choose Youfa

For European importers and project contractors, choosing a supplier that is aligned with CBAM is becoming increasingly important. Youfa offers several key advantages:

Certified green manufacturing system with multiple national-level green factories;

Stable product quality backed by large-scale, standardized production;

Strong supply capacity to support long-term projects in Europe;

Actively cooperate in providing CBAM data.

By integrating sustainability into its core operations, Youfa not only reduces environmental impact but also helps EU customers lower their compliance burden and carbon-related costs.

Moving Toward a Greener Global Steel Supply Chain

The recognition of multiple Youfa subsidiaries as green factories marks a significant step forward in building a sustainable manufacturing network. More importantly, it demonstrates Youfa Group's readiness to align with global environmental regulations such as CBAM.

As Europe continues to transition toward a low-carbon economy, Youfa is committed to being a reliable and responsible partner—delivering high-quality steel pipe products while supporting greener, more sustainable infrastructure development.

Youfa Group is actively organizing its subordinate factories to fill in carbon footprint data during the production of carbon steel products.
