The first phase of the APP Rudong manufacturing complex, a massive household paper production base located in the Yangkou Port Economic Development Zone in Rudong county, Nantong, in East China's Jiangsu province, is expected to be fully completed and put into operation in the second half of this year, local media reported recently.

The first production line of the first phase project was put into operation on June 26, 2021. Since then, the project has been advancing at a rate of opening a new production line every month. Up to now, eight production lines have been put into trial production, with an estimated annual output of 240,000 tons of household paper.

After the first phase goes into full operation, it is expected that the annual taxable sales will exceed 10 billion yuan ($1.57 billion).The annual profit and tax will reach more than 1.8 billion yuan.       

The APP Rudong manufacturing complex is funded by paper product manufacturer giant 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 is said to be the world's biggest, most intelligent, and most environmentally friendly household paper production base.
