In general, governments should impose
simple and long-term objectives and
regulations, which level the playing-field for
all actors.
Governments should set re-use targets.
Governments should enable and support
better quality in recycling.
Governments should utilize public
procurement as an active tool in creating
markets and demand for circular business
models.
Governments should set legal requirements
for reparability, demanding longer product
warranties and better information.

Fly ash brick offers a simple low-

sustainable and eco-friendly
bricks. Compared to standard brick
production, fly ash bricks provide
several advantages, as:
1. being more sustainable and
reducing impact to the
environment;
2. having uniform colour like
cement, which reduces
plastering requirement;
3. being lighter in weight, dense
composition, and durable.

One machine can produce up to 1450 fly ash bricks per hour depending on the type. In addition to environmental
benefits, various social benefits are also associated with the commissioning of new fly ash units, as the establishment
of new units creates new employment opportunities.
THE OPERATIONAL
Generally, the machine
consists of a raw material
mixing chamber, mixture
conveyor, moulds for the
brick, a hydraulic system,
and electronic control
panel.
Mix all the materials
(consisted of 62% of fly
ash, 25% of quarry dust,
8% of hydrated lime, &
5% of gypsum)
All materials are mixed
together with water to
achieve the desired
mixture consistency
let them dry under the
sun and water-cure the
bricks for seven to
fourteen days.
After mixing, the
conveyor will transport
the mixture into the
moulds to have it
pressed by the machine
and make it compact.

• In response to the COVID-19
pandemic, China must grasp the
opportunity to launch a green
stimulus package, stimulating
short-term economic recovery
while building a long-term
sustainable and high- quality
growth future.

According to the government annual work program
announced in May 2020, the Chinese government has
acknowledged the importance of investing in new
infrastructure. China’s green recovery package should
combine four main thrusts with the first one, zero-
carbon electrification, at the core:
• Accelerate investment in zero-carbon
electrification.
• Strengthen investment in “new” technology-
based forms of infrastructure, such as 5G, artificial
intelligence, internet of things, etc.
• Ensure that investment in traditional
infrastructure supports green and energy efficient
urbanisation.
• Promote green consumption, including via
support for electric vehicles and more efficient
electric heating systems.

ACHIEVING A GREEN
RECOVERY FOR CHINA:
Putting Zero-Carbon Electrification at the Core, June 2020
By 2050, China should aim to consume over 60 percent of its final energy
demand in the form of electricity, versus only 20 percent today, electrifying as
much of the economy as possible. Such electrification will deliver major
economic efficiency advantages, given the inherent merits of electricity as a
flexible and efficient energy source, especially when combined with advanced
digital capabilities. In addition a further 10 to 15 percent of energy will likely be
consumed in the form of hydrogen primarily sourced from zero-carbon electricity
via electrolysis, and used in a wide variety of transport and industrial
applications.

Exhibit 3 sums up the different
roles which different categories of
investment could play. Traditional
infrastructure investment will
inevitably dominate in sheer
quantity and can create the
greatest number of jobs, but must
be made as green and
sustainable as possible.
Renewable energy and related
grid investments can have a
bigger short- term stimulus impact
than new digital infrastructure, but
both together need to be seen as
linked building blocks of China’s
future high-value green economy.

• Swane Design’s work consists of buying required
materials that had been previously discarded from
consumers, such as plastics and metals, from
resellers and submitting them to a process that
converts them into something beautiful and
useful, adding value from one cycle of use to the
next one.
• Approximately 3,000 pieces have been sold during
the 8 years this initiative has been active, and it
helped to increase awareness of upcycling
amongst people both in Germany and Senegal.

Resulted in four companies achieving ISO14001
certification by the end of the project
More than 230 cleaner production solutions have
been implemented in the 17 participating
companies, complemented by US$1.7 million of
investment in new technologies.
Brought estimated savings of US$1.3 million per
annum for the companies, reinforcing their
competitiveness.
Total reduction of waste water releases into the
Danube river are estimated to be 4.6 million cubic
meters per annum, with most sectors reporting a
30% reduction in water use after the introduction of
cleaner production methods, and up to 90%
reduction after investment in new technologies.
