"Upgrading Technology &Nbsp; Caring For Employees &Nbsp; Creating Green Brand" Is The Inevitable Way For Shoe Enterprises To Develop.

In September 18th, Jinjiang shoemaking industry has a great number of Chinese famous

80, after 90 workers:

In order to get a deeper understanding of the real reasons for the return of the shoe workers in Jinjiang, the reporter interviewed Xiao Chen, a mechanic in the army who returned home in the Mid Autumn Festival.

Xiao Chen is 20 years old. He arrived in Fujian Jinjiang from Zhuzhou, Hunan in February 2009, and worked as a skilled worker on a production line for more than 1 years in a medium-sized shoemaking factory.

In 2010, the annual meeting of the enterprise was awarded the outstanding employee of the company because of its hard work and open-minded learning.

As for his performance over the past 1 years, Xiao Chen reveals the humble modesty and self-confidence of this generation.

However, when asked why he resigned from his shoes, he appeared helpless.

Xiao Chen replied, "in the past 1 years, I have learned a lot of technology and knowledge from factories, and factories are also very good to us, both in terms of staff management and welfare benefits.

However, as soon as I entered this line, some acquaintances told me that individual factories will not be good after long time.

I feel the same way about it. The most uncomfortable thing to do every day is the smell of glue in the pungent shoes.

Recently I feel dizzy in the workshop. I am very scared.

So I consulted with my family and decided to leave home for some time and think about the future.

There are a lot of shoe mechanics such as Xiao Chen, especially those who focus on the quality of life after 80 or 90.

It is true that with the popularization of the concept of environmental health and health, the consciousness of modern workers' self-protection has been greatly improved.

When 80 and 90 workers are worried about occupational hazards, most families will persuade them to choose another job, which will lead to endless rushing home, difficult employment of shoes enterprises and robbing factories everywhere.

Shoe manufacturer's health hazard: solvent based adhesive

According to statistics of China Adhesives Industry Association, in 2008, the amount of shoe glue had reached 300 thousand tons, with an average of 20% solid content, about 240 thousand tons of organic solvents were directly discharged into the atmosphere.

Only a large shoemaking company uses about 180 tons of adhesive used in molding traditional oil glue every year, of which 80% (about 140 tons of waste gas) is directly discharged into the city.

In addition to climbing and molding adhesives, cleaning agents, treatment agents and polishing agents are widely used in the footwear industry, and organic solvents are also widely used in these materials.

These organic solvents are directly discharged into the atmosphere without any treatment.

Related professionals also said that these organic solvents not only cause air pollution, but also cause occupational diseases through direct inhalation of respiratory system and skin penetration.

Although national and local governments adopt various ways to limit the use of highly toxic solvents, occupational disease cases still occur frequently.

Promote

At present, Jinjiang shoe enterprises have great investment in hardware, and the plant and equipment even reach the international advanced level.

However, due to the incomplete change of concept, the traditional oil-based glue is still widely used, containing 80% or more organic solvents. Organic solvent emissions will not only cause waste of resources, serious environmental pollution, but also harm the health of direct contacts.

Therefore, people oriented, caring for employees and protecting the environment have become a major issue of the footwear industry in Jinjiang.

As a well-known brand in China's footwear industry, Hongxing Erke group introduced the Bayer water glue developed by Germany in the past few years to replace the traditional oil-based adhesive, so as to fully protect the health of employees.

Walking into Hongxing Erke's factory building, we saw a bright and clean standard factory building, and all the staff were actively and enthusiastically involved in the work.

Reporters on the spot consulted several post-90 employees, who said they were relatively satisfied with the factory environment, and rarely smelled of pungent smell.

Dr. Sun Qilong, Guangzhou polymer technology support center of Bayer (China) Co., explained: "water-based adhesive is a new adhesive which is favored by international brands. High solid content, waterborne PU resin content reaches 50%, 3~4 times that of traditional oil-based glue, and its adhesive performance is comparable to that of oil based adhesive.

In addition, the water-based adhesive also has the following characteristics: first, the use of the first glue process can save 3~4 times the amount and labor; second, the water based adhesive is water dispersing medium, and contains no volatile organic compounds. The volatilization of water has no harm to the human body and the ecological environment. It can be recognized as zero emission and zero pollution to the city. Third, after being tested by the environmental and health related product safety of China Center for Disease Control and prevention, it belongs to the actual non-toxic grade, and it is not inflammable, explosive, safe storage, and no fire hazard.

Move into the "0" era of volatilization

Nowadays, governments at all levels and famous enterprises are all pushing forward the pformation of the traditional footwear industry.

Fujian's well-known shoe supplier, Lan Lan group, and the world's top 500 German Bayer Material Technology cooperation, has been committed to the introduction of the leading international water-based adhesive technology, and promote the footwear industry to enter the "0" volatile era.

The Symposium on "low carbon environmental protection technology and green water imagination" sponsored by Bayer, Germany, and the Symposium on Bayer materials technology will be held in Baolong Hotel, Jinjiang, on the afternoon of September 17, 2010.

It is reported that there will be dozens of well-known shoe enterprises to participate actively in the event, which is one of the important actions of environmental protection action.

It will create a better working environment for the new generation of shoemaking workers through the popularization of environment-friendly water-borne adhesive technology, and truly practice the economic development path of green environmental protection, energy conservation and emission reduction.
