What is the difference between eco-industry and traditional industry?

The goal of eco-industry is low consumption, low (or no) pollution, and the coordination between industrial development and ecological environment. Traditional industries are mostly labor-intensive or capital-intensive industries.

The basic concept of eco-industry Eco-industry is a comprehensive industrial development model based on the principles of eco-economics, characterized by resource conservation, clean production and multi-level recycling of waste, relying on modern science and technology, and operating and managing by using ecological laws, economic laws and systematic engineering methods.

We advocate the development of an industry-led economy with ecological characteristics, that is, we must persist in grasping both the upgrading of traditional industries and the development of ecological industries. The so-called upgrading of traditional industries means carrying out institutional innovation and scientific and technological innovation, thoroughly transforming old processes and equipment with advanced science and technology, and making them grow into a part of the new industrial ecosystem as soon as possible. Only by thoroughly transforming traditional industries and brand-new ecological industries can we develop an economy with ecological characteristics. The idea of developing economy with ecological characteristics is: vigorously develop ecological agriculture, ecological industry and eco-tourism, agriculture takes the road of pollution-free organization, industry takes the road of pollution-free cleaning, and tourism takes the road of returning to gardening. It is of great significance to protect, develop and utilize cultural and ecological resources and build national cultural industries for the development of industry-led economy with ecological characteristics.

The basic concept of traditional industries Traditional industries are the general name of industrial departments that have been established since the industrial revolution and are still producing on a large scale. Traditional industries are driven by traditional energy sources and characterized by machine technology. Generally, it includes textile industry, steel industry, shipbuilding industry, automobile industry, electric power industry and other departments. Traditional industries are mostly labor-intensive or capital-intensive industries. Adopting advanced technology to transform traditional industries and improve their production technology level is of great significance to promoting the development of industry and national economy.

The difference between eco-industry and traditional industry is 1. Pursuing goals is different. The traditional industrial development model takes one-sided pursuit of economic benefits as its own responsibility, ignoring the emphasis on ecological benefits, resulting in a situation of "high input, high consumption and high pollution"; Eco-industry pays attention to both economic and ecological benefits of industry, and strategically attaches importance to environmental protection and intensive recycling of resources, which is conducive to the sustainable development of industry.

2. Natural resources are developed and utilized in different ways. Due to the unilateral pursuit of economic benefits, traditional industries can adopt ways that are conducive to increasing output and income in a short time. Starting from the goal of giving consideration to both economic and ecological benefits, eco-industry makes rational exploitation of resources, makes various industrial and mining enterprises interdependent, and forms a network eco-industrial chain, thus realizing intensive utilization and recycling of resources.

3. The requirements of industrial structure and industrial layout are different. Because traditional industries only pay attention to the economic benefits of industrial production, resources are overexploited and wasted, and the environment is seriously deteriorated, which is not conducive to the rational allocation and effective utilization of resources. Eco-industrial system is an open system, which requires reasonable industrial structure and industrial layout to adapt to its ecological system and natural structure and conform to the principle of inclusiveness of eco-economic system. 4. Waste is treated in different ways. Traditional industries implement the production and processing mode of single product, and discard waste into treasure. This will help to shorten the production cycle, improve the output rate, and thus improve its economic benefits. Eco-industry not only follows the principle of tolerance of ecosystem from the perspective of environmental protection, but also makes full use of the principle of * * * and the principle of long-chain utilization, and extends the processing chain of resources as far as possible through the relationship of ecological processes, so as to maximize the development and utilization of resources.
