Footwear Exports Take The Road Of Environmental Protection

In recent years, "environmental protection" has become a hot topic in all walks of life.

The environmental protection issue of shoe industry has naturally become the focus of discussion.

At present, many of China's export shoe manufacturers do not meet the international standards of green environmental protection, and have fallen under the banner of international green.

In particular, the PFOS directive implemented in June 27, 2008 stipulates that if PFOS (perfluorooctane acid) is a substance or element, if the concentration or quality is equal to or more than 0.005%, it will not be sold; if the PFOS concentration or quality is equal to or more than 0.1% in the finished products and semi-finished products, the finished products, semi-finished products and parts will be included in the scope of the ban.

The implementation of this directive will directly affect the production of China's footwear export products.

At present, not only the European Union, but also the developed countries such as the United States and Japan show great concern for PFOS substances, and some experts predict that such substances will be completely banned in the next few years.

Therefore, the majority of shoe export enterprises should speed up the upgrading and pformation of PFOS replacement products and production technology, and improve the environmental protection requirements of products.

People in the Quarantine Department reminded that environmental protection is the trend of the times. Green health problems have been raised to the strategic level in developed countries. Therefore, if export footwear enterprises want to develop in the long run and enter the international market, they must start from their products, find breakthrough in the production process, establish corresponding technical standards, and enhance their international competitiveness.

At the Beijing sports fair, the industry believes that the domestic sporting goods industry will move towards the direction of "intensive development, technological innovation and ecological environmental protection".

In contrast with Jinjiang's industry, what is the current development of local sporting goods industry?

How should enterprises closely follow the trend of development and seize opportunities for development?

Wide market for environmental protection products

To make products "green" means that enterprises must have a lot of investment, but can such investments bring benefits?

It is understood that American consumers are very willing to spend more money on green products. If products can show that they are good for the environment, they will not only be willing to pay, but they will also do so.

Have higher loyalty.

And some enterprises that are willing to try have begun to taste the sweetness of environmental protection.

Jinjiang Maotai rubber and plastic factory is a company specializing in the production of rubber soles. The company and Xiamen University jointly developed a total rubber elastic shoe material project has made major technological breakthroughs.

In this project, rubber shoe material waste after microwave desulphurization treatment can replace natural rubber directly for sole production, and achieve recycling of resources.

Under the guidance of the school of chemical engineering, Xiamen University, Maotai shoe plastic factory has installed a small microwave rubber desulfurization line for rubber shoes.

"Shoe plastic scrap is not worthwhile, it also pollutes the environment. After desulphurization, it can reach 6000 yuan per ton."

Ding Sien excitedly said, Jinjiang shoe material leftover material "turning waste into treasure" really became a reality.
