Green development has become the sole choice of China's leather industry

Reporter recently learned that in recent years, China's raw leather imports showed a sustained growth trend. Last year, China imported raw leather 1.25 billion US dollars, an increase of 38%. According to the news from the customs, a total of 28,000 tons of raw hides and skins were imported into Shanghai at the first 5 months of this year. Among them, the proportion of imported raw hides under processing trade accounted for nearly 80%, with 22,000 tons as much as 51% over the same period. According to reports, the world leather industry from the 1980s began to Asia, especially China's transfer, and now China has become the world leather power. When talking about the future development of China's leather industry, authorities of the State Environmental Protection Administration said that if we do not immediately adjust the industrial structure, if we do not implement leapfrogging green development, China's leather industry will pay the cost of astronomical figures. Clean production of digestion and environmental costs Pan Yue, deputy director of SEPA, said that the main theme of the 21st century economy is a green eco-economy. This is the result of the forces of the world. Who take the green strategy in advance, who will be able to occupy the initiative in the future competitive landscape. Speaking about the surge in rawhide imports, Pan Yue said that the developed countries have started to transfer a large number of heavily polluting industries to our country. Although the projects we have introduced have progressed more than before, in terms of resources utilization and environmental pollution, compared with the ever-increasing international standards, the gap However, the bigger it is, the more it falls into a vicious circle of "introduction - backwardness - reintroduction - backwardness". If we do not immediately adjust the industrial structure, if we do not implement leapfrogging green development, China will surely pay the cost of astronomical data. He said that we are standing at the crossroads of history at this moment and the green development is the most pressing choice for the Chinese leather enterprises. This reporter has learned that at present China's tannery wastewater emissions have reached 70 million tons per year. A few hundred dollars in raw hides and skins profits only a dozen yuan, the domestic part of the processing enterprises can get the hand of the processing fee is less than 10 yuan. Behind the meager profits, but it is a huge environmental costs. China Leather Association tanning professional committee anonymity experts said in an interview with foreign leather processing industry transfer to our country, from the 1980s onwards, has now been transferred about the same. China's leather industry has not passively accepted this transfer. The past two years, leather pollution control effect is very prominent, many non-standard small factory was closed. In 1992, the UN aid project on pollution control also drove leather pollution control. He said that in order to achieve leapfrog development in China's leather industry, we must actively carry out engineering research on clean tanning and realize the clean production of tannery industry as soon as possible. According to reports, the world's leather industry has been the center of gravity in Europe and North America, especially in Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom the most famous leather technology. In the leather technology, foreign special machinery and equipment and its supporting technology research and development has its own uniqueness, in the clean tanning technology research started earlier, and there have been many research results. The expert told reporters that at present, the Leather Association is actively seeking to cancel the import of raw leather wet blue skin tariffs, because the current import of raw skin pollution caused by about 70% is caused by the skin outside of the wet blue. A large number of imported wet blue leather, leather processing will effectively curb the pollution. Leather industry restructuring is imminent In the global leather industry in the ascendant phase, the difficult task of industrial restructuring also mentioned the leather industry on the agenda. China Leather Industry Association, Zhang Shuhua, executive vice president has pointed out that this century, China will usher in the development of the leather industry, "the golden season," and now placed in front of China's leather industry, the most urgent issue is to complete as soon as possible from leather to leather The transformation of power, so that the number of dominant-oriented quality, efficiency change, so as to grasp the "golden season." Experts point out that if we want to shift from a big manufacturing country to a strong manufacturing country, our leather industry must make breakthroughs in processing quality and design creativity. Leather Association tanning professional committee experts told reporters in the adjustment of industrial structure, China's leather industry has been a breakthrough. At present, the level of tanning of the garments and vamps is almost the same as that of the international standards, while the automobile leather cushions and the sofa leather are more and more highly valued by manufacturers due to their high technical content. In addition to technological innovation, increasing the brand gold content has also been put on the agenda. Professor Xin Xinhua of Northwest Institute of Light Industry pointed out that the leather industry is a high-polluting industry. Whether the leather industry in China can sustainably develop in the new century depends on whether it can solve its production process and eventually the pollution problem. Many enterprises, including leather companies, rely on cost savings to increase profits is very limited, really can bring huge profits is the brand effect. With the brand you can go to the world, there is a market, there is a huge profit. With the brand has no technology to buy technology, the brand is not only publicity, speaking from the content is to have technical content, should establish a big brand strategy. Therefore, changing from "processing center" to "technology center" and "brand center" will be the top priority for China's leather industry.
