Shanghai Eclear Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd
EFG Donghua University Funded Project
Fang Huiwang, a graduate of the Building Environment and Equipment Engineering program at Donghua University, led a team to establish Shanghai Eclear Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. in 2016. Since its establishment, the "Eclear" team has relied on its digital development strategy and development positioning in the direction of new energy and large-scale chemical industry, achieving continuous expansion of the company's scale and doubling of business growth, and developing against the industry impact brought by the epidemic.
Believing in environmental protection and pursuing entrepreneurship as an ideal
Fang Huiwang was born in Huizhou, Anhui. The beautiful natural scenery of the area has instilled in him a genuine love for the environment since childhood. Engaging in work related to environmental protection has always been a vision in his heart. After growing up, he was admitted to Donghua University and studied a major under the School of Environment. During his studies, he discovered that there was great room for improvement in the natural environment of Shanghai, which further strengthened his belief in working in the environmental protection industry.
On the other hand, during his student days, Fang Huiwang had always had the idea of entrepreneurship. He also participated in the first Innovation and Entrepreneurship Training Camp at Donghua University, and his future plan is to work first to accumulate experience, and then start a business on this basis. In 2016, various departments of the country issued a series of important decision-making guidelines related to environmental protection, and the environmental protection industry showed good development prospects. Fang Huiwang believed that this was an opportunity to realize his ideas, so he chose to start a business at this time and founded Shanghai Eclear Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., mainly engaged in industrial waste gas treatment.
Breaking through resource bottlenecks and achieving growth against the trend
In the early stages of entrepreneurship, Fang Huiwang and his team encountered the biggest problem of resource bottleneck. At that time, most environmental protection companies were relatively traditional, relying more on funding, industry background, etc., and their production was greatly restricted in these aspects. The core members of Eclear Environmental Protection Team have all graduated from Donghua University, and Donghua University's Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneurship Association has provided great support for the team to overcome bottlenecks. They contacted the Donghua University Foundation of the Shanghai University Student Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Foundation, and thus gained many opportunities for exhibitions and roadshows. In the process of company development, the team chose to take a unique development path. They broke the traditional definition limitations of environmental protection companies focusing on equipment production and engineering design, and focused on technological research and digital development. Based on more efficient core R&D technology and the company's digital development, the company gradually broke through the resource bottleneck in the early stages of establishment and achieved stable development.
During the three-year epidemic period, the market environment was severely impacted and the economic situation was sluggish. Many environmental protection companies reduced their expenses on environmental protection facilities and treatment. However, Eclear Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd.'s business not only did not decrease, but also maintained a doubling of growth every year, and the company's scale also expanded to a certain extent. This performance can be said to be second to none in the environmental protection industry.
Fang Huiwang and his team firmly believe that the so-called crisis is organic in the midst of danger. They always adhere to the digital development path and form a digital development team. Their main source of business is digital marketing channels, so their customer base is very broad. On the other hand, before the outbreak of the epidemic, the company was already prepared to choose the industry track, and they chose the new energy track and the large chemical track. These two directions have been minimally affected during the epidemic. From an internal perspective, the team atmosphere and entrepreneurial spirit of the company also motivate members to constantly overcome difficulties and promote the development of the company.
Continuous technological innovation, precipitation and seeking development
In terms of the environmental protection industry, technology is an extremely important core competitiveness. In order to establish a foothold in the industry and form related advantages, environmental protection companies must continuously innovate their technology to adapt to the continuous upgrading of the industry.
Eclear Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. mainly maintains this technological innovation that has always been at the forefront of the industry from two aspects.
On the one hand, the company focuses on collaborative research and development with universities, such as Eclear Environmental Protection and East China University of Technology, as well as related enterprises from the UK, jointly established a company fully dedicated to catalyst research and development. At present, Eclear Environmental Protection and Shanghai University of Technology are also conducting related collaborative research and development.
On the other hand, based on the company's application end, Eclear's technology and research and development are not created and carried out out out out of thin air, but rely on market demand. The digital development path of Eclear Environmental Protection is well connected with production and market demand. The company customizes core technologies based on front-end market demand, and these technologies return to the market to meet relevant application needs. If any technical issues are found during the actual application process, it will return to the research and development stage. The company has achieved a lot of technological innovation and breakthroughs in this iterative process from research and development to market.
Eclear Environmental Protection collaborates with East China University of Science and Technology
Currently, Eclear Environmental Protection's positioning is to be an eco-friendly enterprise that continuously innovates and can create value for its customers. The company's future plans will focus more on the environmental protection industry, one of which is the new energy industry, as this industry is a major player in the future economy. The company's current business in this area includes serving some leading enterprises in the new energy industry, such as Tesla and BYD in the field of new energy vehicles.
Expanding from new energy vehicles, this industry also includes the assembly of power batteries and lithium batteries, the production of positive and negative electrodes and electrolytes in upstream industries, as well as the recycling of lithium batteries. The producers in such a relatively complete industrial chain are all the customer groups that Eclear Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. wants to settle (or has already achieved) in the future, and the company will do some in-depth development in this field.
In addition to the new energy industry, another industry is the large-scale chemical industry, including technology and chemical engineering. This industry will have a relatively good development trend in China in the future, and its huge pollution emissions have also nurtured many environmental protection needs. Eclear Environmental Protection is willing to focus on achieving a certain degree of pollution reduction and emission reduction for this industry in the future.
Based on social needs, rationally assess risks
Fang Huiwang believes that the current environment may present some challenges for entrepreneurs, but he still encourages students and entrepreneurs with ideas to constantly try. For entrepreneurship, he believes that the first thing to do is to focus on social needs, starting from the needs of society and customers, and guiding entrepreneurship based on customer needs. We must never fall into the trap of working behind closed doors or impulsive entrepreneurship.
On the basis of demand orientation, the entrepreneurial content is subdivided. Taking his own entrepreneurship as an example, at the beginning of the entrepreneurship, he and his team did addition, but they have been doing subtraction ever since. At first, they focused on waste gas treatment, and then gradually refined it to waste gas treatment in a certain industry, and then to waste gas treatment in a certain process link. Continuously professionalizing and refining the direction of entrepreneurship is also a policy direction of the country. The country hopes that future private enterprises or entrepreneurial enterprises can do some precise and specialized things, which provides a good foundation and a bright development direction for college students to start their own businesses.
For those entrepreneurs who start their own businesses right after graduation, Fang Huiwang said, "Actually, I admire them very much, but evaluating the risks involved is still very important, including the large social environment, their own entrepreneurial projects, and the risks in obtaining technological resources." He believes that if there are particularly prominent aspects in the above aspects, then some entrepreneurial attempts can be made, such as having a core team that is already bound to a certain university or industry core force, or having strong capital and resource support. These supports are a strong guarantee for entrepreneurial projects. The years just after graduation are very important for both career expansion and knowledge accumulation.
As an entrepreneur, when summarizing at the end of each year, Fang Huiwang looks back on the journey he has taken in the past year and feels that it has been a bit difficult and arduous. However, even if time goes back, the future can be chosen again, and fate can be re determined. He said he will still choose the path of entrepreneurship, because entrepreneurship has been a dream buried in his heart since his student days.
Whether it is Fang Huiwang himself or his team, their original intention in starting a business is not to create a company solely for profit. They view entrepreneurship as a career and view Eclear as their own. Just as the name "Yi Qing" originated from the saying "Yi once set the Nine Crows, and heaven and earth were clear and peaceful." They wanted to shoot down the nine suns like Hou Yi, bringing peace and tranquility to both heaven and earth.
The entrepreneurial ideas of Fang Huiwang and Yi Qing's team are closely aligned with the pulse of the times, eager to bring some improvements to the living environment of the public. At the same time, Yi Qing is also a platform for all dreamers to work together, constantly striving for the environment and future. "For the environment, for the future" is not only Fang Huiwang's initial entrepreneurial vision, but also Eclear Environmental Protection's unwavering pursuit.
