The first production line began operating on June 26 of the first phase of a massive household paper production base – located in the Yangkou Port Economic Development Zone in Rudong county, Nantong, in East China's Jiangsu province – local media reported.
The APP Rudong manufacturing complex is being funded by giant paper product manufacturer Asia Pulp and Paper, a subsidiary of the Sinar Mas Group, one of the largest business conglomerates in Indonesia.
Once it's fully up and running, the complex will reportedly aim to be the world's biggest, most intelligent and most environmentally friendly household paper production base.
