In 2011, Footwear Industry Launched A "Green Revolution".

January 19th hearing system Shoe enterprises Industry, 2011 is not so much a product of competitive R & D capabilities, rather a test. enterprise A year of "green production". From the aspects of equipment, shoe sole material, shoe upper fabric and glue use, domestic shoemaking enterprises should improve from many aspects to cope with the test of "green".

The Copenhagen climate conference has sounded the environmental warning bell for many shoe companies in China. "If we do not work hard on environmental standards, it will be difficult for small and medium-sized shoe companies to live alone by developing new markets such as ASEAN and Africa." Talking about the development trend of shoe enterprises this year, Chen Dai, a shoe material enterprise in Jinjiang, said the European and American countries regard environmental factors as the trend. Trade The protective weapons have repeatedly raised the environmental standards, which have brought technical obstacles to shoemaking enterprises, and the original advantages, such as labor shortage, appreciation of the renminbi and price rise of raw materials, are weakening.

China's footwear industry is mainly concentrated in coastal developed areas, and coastal areas along with the rapid economic development, environmental problems are increasingly highlighted. At present, China's footwear industry has become the world's largest shoe producer with the annual output of over 10 billion pairs of shoes. However, the environmental protection situation of China's footwear industry is still very grim. The content of azo, formaldehyde and six valent chromium in raw materials far exceeds international standards. The adhesives used in large scale during the production process lead to frequent occurrence of benzene poisoning and the high incidence of occupational diseases among production workers. The development of China's footwear industry is not balanced. Many enterprises, especially some small and medium-sized enterprises, use adhesive containing "three benzene", coupled with poor ventilation conditions and even no ventilation at all. Many workers are poisoned, suffering from leukemia, paralysis and even death. It can be seen that China's shoe industry has seen a wide range of green fault zones. And whether it is the need to go out of China's footwear industry, explore the international market, or from the sustainable development of human beings, we need to find the environmental protection solution for our children's future. It is urgent and urgent to seek environmental protection solutions for China's footwear industry.

The central leadership attaches great importance to environmental protection, and the relevant departments of the government are also taking vigorous and effective measures. Nowadays, the adhesive containing "three benzene" has been greatly restricted, and some enterprises' products have been ordered to withdraw from the market. At the same time, a series of environmental laws and regulations have been promulgated, creating a healthier atmosphere for the market. However, as the saying goes, it is still necessary to set up a bell to solve the bell. Enterprises are the main body of the market, and the choice of enterprises is the most important.

In the face of green barriers in the European Union and other countries, on the one hand, we should strive to expand the market. For example, the export market of footwear industry in Fujian province has been concentrated in the United States, the European Union and Japan for many years. However, the diversification of African market, South American market and Central Asian market is far from enough. In a sense, it has been used as one of the accusations of various accusations and has a great impact on the export of footwear. Therefore, enterprises should adjust their business ideas in a timely manner, strengthen the development of diversified export markets and diversify risks.

Last year, many small and medium-sized shoe materials enterprises actively explored new markets, only to maintain a small increase in exports. However, many enterprises believe that because some shoe making enterprises use traditional oil-based adhesives, and these adhesives contain more than 80% solvent, every year, a large number of organic solvents are released into the atmosphere. Under the background of energy saving and emission reduction, the export of shoes products will face more "environmental protection" pressure.

In addition, developing the market is only a way to save the nation by curve. Besides, we live on the same land and live under the same blue sky. We have to be responsible for our health. Therefore, to really solve the problem, we must fundamentally seek solutions. As Peng Jinxin, director of the State Environmental Protection Bureau, said, "we must vigorously guide enterprises to promote product innovation based on technological innovation, actively develop high-tech and high value-added footwear products, and adjust footwear export varieties according to the requirements of different markets and different periods. In this way, we can successfully cope with the green barriers and create a healthier and more harmonious living environment for ourselves.
