Local industrial factories in Ryanggang Province are striving to ensure domestic production and recycling of raw and other materials.

The Hyesan Footwear Factory established a production process that makes shoe soles from recycled plastic waste.

The Hyesan branch steel works applied silica and anthracite to the production of iron and steel and developed a fireproof material binder to increase the lifespan of furnaces, reduce the consumption of materials to the utmost and shorten the time of heats per hour.

The Hyesan Youth Mine established a new process for retreating ore residue which had been dumped as industrial waste in the past.

The Taehongdan County Potato-processing Factory devised and introduced a vacuum concentrator and built a starch syrup production line, while the Samjiyon Potato Farina Factory and Samjiyon Blueberry Drink Factory developed a technology for recycling different kinds of packing and plastic bottles.

Operating stations of mid- and small-sized power plants increased the electricity generation per ton of water by developing a new type of high-efficiency turbine.

The Hyesan Bag Factory and Taehongdan County Chemical Factory make a variety of daily necessities and plastic pipes with different sorts of by-products from the cutting processes.
