SUEZ has announced the signing of new collaborative initiatives with local partners in China’s Jiangsu and Shandong provinces, aimed at expanding cooperation in the water and waste management sectors.
In Jiangsu Province, SUEZ will partner with the Lianyun Economic Development Zone to jointly study the investment in, construction, and operation of a new industrial water treatment plant. The project represents an investment of RMB 440 million and is designed to supply 50,000 m³ per day of industrial water and 20,000 m³ per day of demineralized water.
The Lianyun Economic Development Zone hosts more than 1,000 companies operating in sectors including new materials and advanced manufacturing. Rising demand for high-quality industrial water has driven the need for additional treatment capacity. Once operational, the facility is expected to support water conservation, reduce operational costs for local enterprises, and contribute to the area’s industrial development.
Guo Peng, District Mayor of Lianyun, said: “The project will meet the park’s diverse water quality needs while ensuring a stable supply as demand grows. Through sound planning and efficient operations, it will reduce environmental impact, optimize water supply costs, and help enterprises lower expenses, while improving efficiency.”

In Shandong Province, SUEZ has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Shandong Public Water Group. The agreement builds on existing cooperation in municipal and industrial water projects and marks a transition from project-based collaboration to a broader strategic partnership. The partnership will combine Shandong Public’s local resources with SUEZ’s international experience and expand cooperation to include infrastructure development and waste management.
Since 2023, Shandong Public Water Group has been one of SUEZ’s partners in the province. Joint projects include upgrades at Qufu’s municipal wastewater treatment plant focused on resource recovery. At Jining Industrial Park, a zero liquid discharge project produces 3.6 million m³ of alternative water annually and recovers 85% of crystalline salt for sodium sulfate, contributing to environmental performance and circular economy objectives.
Deng Gang, Chairman of Shandong Public, said: “Shandong Public and SUEZ are closely aligned in operations and development strategy. With SUEZ’s technical expertise and management strengths, we look forward to building on past achievements and defending our partnership as we enter a new stage of deepened collaboration.”
Xavier Girre, CEO of SUEZ, said: “I’m delighted to work on deepening collaboration with our Chinese partners in Jiangsu and Shandong provinces in water and waste management. These new opportunities showcase SUEZ’s ambition to continue growing in China and build on 50 years of history — as this year marks the 50th anniversary of SUEZ’s presence in China. We are proud of the trust we have built with our Chinese counterparts and are determined to continue delivering state-of-the-art facilities and innovative water and waste services to address industrial and municipal needs.”
