Our business model is premised around building strategic partnerships with large enterprises and providing them with comprehensive environmental services. This new contract will allow us to demonstrate our capabilities in managing hazardous waste for the steel industry and serves as a conduit for future business with other large steel enterprises," Mr. Jinqing Dong, Chairman and CEO of China Industrial Waste Management, commented. "We will continue to focus on developing partnerships with large enterprises in Northeast China while further diversifying our revenue streams.
