< p > pollution mainly comes from leather making, and the treatment technology is mature. The cost of treatment is also within the affordable range < /p >.
< p > "beautiful China calls for ecological manufacturing, and environmental standards are becoming more stringent. It will push the leather industry to accelerate transformation and upgrading, and develop environment-friendly, resource-saving green leather industry." Su Chaoying, director of the China Leather Association, said in an interview with the China Environmental News reporter that leather industry has gone through the era of sacrificing the environment for development. As a bridge and link between the government and enterprises, the association has the responsibility to promote the healthy and sustainable development of the whole industry. < /p >
< p > in 2013, the main work plan of China's < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/" > Leather Association < /a > has been placed in a prominent position in formulating cleaner production technology guide, carrying out environmental protection verification in leather making industry, popularizing and training technology and standards, carrying out the construction of demonstration base for undertaking transfer and tannery base, and improving environmental protection and upgrading of old bases. < /p >
< p > < < a href= > http://www.91se91.com > > leather industry > /a > characteristics, leather industry itself is an industry that accords with the category of circular economy. It turns the discarded animal skins into bright and bright leather, and finally makes all kinds of leather products. This process not only avoids the waste of raw skins and the environmental pollution caused by decay, but also makes full use of raw skins. Su Chaoying believes that leather industry's main pollution comes from leather making. Therefore, in order to ensure the sustainable development of the industry, the energy saving and emission reduction of leather industry is also an important task for the leather industry to explore the road of circular economy. < /p >
< p > according to statistics, the sewage volume of < a href= "http://www.91se91.com" > tannery industry < /a > is about 120 million tons / year, accounting for about 0.5% of the total industrial sewage volume in China. The current pollution control technology is mature, and the cost of treatment is within the limits. The average cost per square foot of leather is about 0.1 yuan to 0.3 yuan. At the same time, the industry is paying more and more attention to clean production technology of tanning, among which recycling of waste chrome liquor, recycling of hair ashes, utilization of solid waste and reuse of recycled water have been promoted in the industry. < /p >
< p > 2010, the China Leather Association has led the establishment of an environmental self-discipline action team in tanning industry. Among them, helping the Ministry of environmental protection to carry out environmental verification has become a priority work. At present, 67 tanning enterprises have been included in the tannery industry's environmental protection declaration list through the verification of the Ministry of environmental protection. < /p >
< p > strong > eco leather can save the industry? < /strong > /p >
< p > ecological leather production capacity accounts for 1/8 of total capacity, energy saving and emission reduction effect is significant < /p >
< p > 2003, < a href= "http://www.91se91.com" > China Leather Association < /a > on the basis of "genuine leather logo", the trademark "eco leather" which is suitable for Eco finished leather is introduced, and clear requirements for cleanliness of finished leather production process and Ecologicalization of product performance are put forward. < /p >
< p > "from eco leather to now has developed for nearly 10 years, from the initial 12 eco leather enterprises to 49 now, the ecological leather enterprise's capacity to reach 1/8 of China's tannery industry's total capacity." Su Chaoying told reporters that ecological leather has promoted the leather industry's awareness of environmental protection, actively adopted clean production technology, green chemicals and advanced tannery equipment to produce leather that meets the requirements of domestic and international markets. At the same time, tannery enterprises are required to increase environmental management and management, adopt advanced and effective sewage treatment technology, and fully reflect the concept of environmental protection in every aspect of tanning and sewage treatment. < /p >
< p > according to the annual statistics of ecological leather, in 2011, eco leather enterprises achieved remarkable results in energy conservation and emission reduction. Under the same level of production last year, the amount of wastewater discharge decreased by 3.7%, ammonia nitrogen emission reduction by 9.6% and COD emission reduction by 7%. < /p >
< p > "in order to encourage more leather labeling enterprises to use ecological leather, we will also organize the establishment of leather logo and ecological leather cooperation alliance in the future." Su Chaoying told reporters that through the effective docking of the upstream and downstream industrial chain, the ecological characteristics of the entire leather industry chain can be enhanced and highlighted to meet consumers' needs for green leather products. < /p >
< p > < strong > how to deal with the pressure of environmental protection? < /strong > /p >
< p > Development > a href= "http://www.91se91.com" > leather industry < /a > must be environmentally friendly, otherwise people's livelihood is just empty talk.
< p > "objectively speaking, although many achievements have been achieved, the environmental pressure faced by the industry is still very large." Several aspects: first, the national environmental protection requirements and standards are getting stricter and stricter. Enterprises must constantly adjust their product structure and adopt new technologies to meet higher and higher demands and standards. Secondly, the problem of lax enforcement of environmental protection is still existing, and some local government departments are not well supervised, so that some of the non-standard small tanneries that still should be closed early still exist. Thirdly, how to deal with the relationship between development and environmental protection is still a major challenge. Now, the development of the eastern developed areas has reached a certain height, not only with financial support, but also can meet the higher environmental requirements. Su Chaoying believes that the main difficulties and challenges lie mainly in the following aspects. "In this process, the government, enterprises and law enforcement departments must reach a consensus that the development of leather industry must be based on the principle of environmental protection, otherwise the livelihood issue is just empty talk. Once the environmental protection fails to catch up, the enterprises will shut down or stop production if the national environmental protection hammer is falling down, so that people can not get jobs and become rich at all. Su Chaoying said frankly. < /p >
