Domestic waste is centrally cleared and transported by the local sanitation office and treated harmlessly.

In 2019, 818.46 tons of solid waste were generated, all of which were general solid waste that can be recycled.

The main noise sources of the company are various specifications of air compressors, water cooling units, water pumps, cotton pluckers, cotton openers, carding machines, drawing machines, strip lap machines, combing machines, roving machines, spinning machines, winding machines, etc. There are many noise sources, mainly concentrated in air compressor rooms, air conditioning rooms, production workshops, etc., and their noise values ​​are 70-85 dB ( A ). Since these devices are installed indoors, they have been attenuated a lot when they are transmitted to the external environment after being soundproofed by the walls. Then, noise reduction measures such as silencing, vibration reduction and sound insulation are taken for different sound sources, such as: low-noise equipment is selected; equipment with higher noise levels uses a shock-absorbing base and sets up a soundproof room; in the design of equipment and pipeline installation, seismic isolation, shockproof and impact protection are adopted to reduce gas dynamic noise; the factory building is closed, the production workshop uses double-layer windows, and the walls of the high-noise operation room are covered with sound-absorbing materials.

In March 2020, Qingshan Lushui (Jiangsu) Inspection and Testing Co., Ltd. was commissioned to conduct an inspection and issue a test report. The daytime noise at the factory boundary was 51.6-54.1 dB ( A ), and the nighttime noise was 42.7-44.7 dB ( A ), which met the Class 1 standard requirements in the "Environmental Noise Emission Standards for Factory Boundaries of Industrial Enterprises" ( GB12348-2008 ) .
