China　has　attracted　the　attention　of　the　world　owing　its　significant　economic　achievements,　which　are　supported　significantly　by　its　booming　industry.　However,　the　issues　of　energy　and　pollutants　have　severely　challenged　the　sustainability　of　the　industry.　The　efficiency　measurement　is　the　premise　intended　to　realize　sustainability　within　the　Chinese　industry.　Because　the　industry　is　a　complex　production　system,　there　exists　uncertainties　and　fuzziness　regarding　its　inputs　and　outputs.　This　study　proposes　the　application　of　an　interval　to　describe　these　fuzzy　data　and　employ　the　Enhanced　Russell　Measure　to　assess　the　performance　of　the　Chinese　industry,　accounting　for　undesirable　output　such　as　pollution.　In　addition,　for　the　ranking　between　interval　efficiencies,　a　novel　ranking　approach　based　on　the　holistic　acceptability　of　a　possibility　degree　is　proposed.　The　proposed　method　provides　advice　and　guidance　for　decision　makers　to　make　appropriate　and　effective　policies　to　balance　industrial　development　and　environmental　protection　in　spite　of　uncertain　and　fuzzy　data.　©　2021　-　IOS　Press.　All　rights　reserved.
