The remaining waste from seafood processing becomes a “remediation agent” for the damaged soil. A few days ago, the soil remediation agent jointly developed by Beijing University of Chemical Technology and Qinhuangdao Jingke Environmental Protection Equipment Co., Ltd. has been applied in Changli County, which is praised by farmers due to increase soil organic matter by 117% , and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium by 50% per kilogram of soil, effectively solving soil compaction, hardening, and nutrient unevenness, enhancing the soil’s ability to maintain fertilizer and promoting crop growth.

As a start-up technology SME, Jingke Environmental Protection Co., Ltd. was able to realize the application of innovative results in just a few years of its establishment, thanks to the support of the Beijing University of Chemical Technology Qinhuangdao Bohai Rim Biological Industry Research Institute (hereinafter referred to as the Research Institute).
As a comprehensive research institution jointly established by Beijing University of Chemical Technology and the Qinhuangdao Municipal Government, the Research Institute has established a market-oriented technological innovation platform that takes enterprises as the main body, to serve the regional economy, give full play to the education and talents in colleges and universities, and promoting enterprises’ development.
At the same time, the Research Institute established the Huayu Tiangong Makerspace in 2016, with the characteristics of biology, chemistry, materials, machinery, environmental protection and energy, providing universities and entrepreneurs with high-end equipment, advanced technology, professionals and industrialization projects, and cultivating technology-based small and medium-sized enterprises.
Jinke Environmental Co., Ltd. is one of the enterprise in the Makerspace. Since its establishment in 2016, the company has cooperated with colleges and universities through the platform, sharing technologies, and transforming from trading waste treatment equipment to do the harmless treatment of feces and soil treatment, and from single market operation to the development of diversified products.
“With the help of the Research Institute, we have realized close cooperation with universities, effectively solved the problems of long technology research and development cycle and high cost, so that we can better participate in market competition.” aid Wang Zhifang, general manager of Qinhuangdao Jingke Environmental Protection Equipment Co., Ltd.

At present, there are more than 10 enterprises in the Makerspace, including Qinhuangdao Jingke Environmental Protection Equipment Co., Ltd., Qinhuangdao Shuimuhui Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., Hebei Haiwu Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., teams of chemical energy, badger oil comprehensive utilization, and solar thermal reactor thermal buffer of Beijing University of Chemical Technology, making innovations from the laboratory to people’s life.
To further promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, the Research Institute has also established some “project agent” teams, who are specifically responsible for helping enterprises to connect with universities in technological achievements.
