Sustainability

Sunshine Flavors primarily uses biological raw materials, which are renewable and environmentally friendly, extending the lifecycles of products and ensuring the sustainable supply of products.

Located in Sichuan, we can source the best quality Cinnamomum oil around the country. Sunshine Flavors’ research center improves the oil extraction method using renewable branches and leaves to ensure a stable supply of cinnamon oil and avoid ecosystem damage. Till 2022, Sunshine Flavors’ cinnamon tree base spreads to 28 square kilometers.
We interact with local farmers closely and provide technical support through regular dialogues and visits.
The residue left after crude oil processing can also be made into biomass fuel, fertilizer, and so on, significantly improving the utilization rate of cinnamon tree resources.
At the same time, our active support provided for locals promotes rural revitalization. We create job and training opportunities for them, which improves their living standards and rural ecosystem. As the rural tourism spring up, we must uphold and act on the principle that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, maintaining harmony between humanity and nature when planning our development.

Sunshine Flavors focuses on Bio-based natural products and energy recycling, which shrinks the carbon footprint effectively.

Safe and Eco-friendly production processes are our main priority. Our production lines are equipped with enhanced distributed control systems (DCS), and we constantly upgrade internal control processes and optimize energy recycling solutions.
We recycle and refine raw materials delicately; reduce auxiliary material consumption; fully optimize the quality of by-products in the production process. Sunshine Flavors commits to extending the lifecycles of products and ensuring the sustainable supply of products.

Sunshine Flavors focuses on Bio-based natural products. Based on the condition of the wastewater, we have built two sewage treatment stations with a maximum capacity of 300 m3/d. We choose evaporated concentration + Fenton oxidation + air flotation + Up-flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) + anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) + contact oxidation + Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) as the core wastewater treatment processes.

The regenerative catalytic oxidizer system (RCO) is the primary solution for waste gas, which can remove more than 90% of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Considering energy conservation and emission reduction, we recycle the heat of exhaust emissions created after catalytic combustion, which can also lower operating costs.
Our heat recovery system adopts a high-efficiency air heat exchanger whose heat recovery rate is greater than 65%, which is above the industry level. Additionally, we take advantage of Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to keep the system stable and secure and maintain an optimized configuration to provide secondary protection.

Our research center plays a key role in this endeavor. Collaborating with scientific institutes and universities, we developed an advanced upcycle technique to obtain purified white salts such as Sodium acetate, sodium chloride, sodium sulfate and potassium sulfate for industrial purposes from waste.
