The furniture industry encountered green barriers industry response measures

 

In recent years, there has been an obvious change in the export of wooden products such as furniture and floors -the growth rate of exports has slowed down significantly. At the same time, importing countries and regions, such as anti-dumping, environmental protection barriers, and technical barriers, introduced a series of regulations and policies that inhibited imports, and this brought even more pressure on China's wood products exports. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued two proposals for regulations on formaldehyde emission limits for composite wood products. It proposes the most stringent formaldehyde emission requirements in the world. Taking particleboard as an example, the formaldehyde emission should not exceed 0.09mg / kg, which is higher than China's standard is 1000 times. Some companies have initially estimated that if the production is organized according to the new standard of the US, the cost of wood-based panels is expected to increase by 30% to 50%, and the cost of finished panel furniture based on wood-based panels will increase by 15% to 20%.

Faced with such stringent regulations, relevant experts suggested that enterprises should face the severe challenges of regulations, scientifically and rationally examine the double-sided effects of export barriers, and transform potential risks into export advantages. Industry experts have proposed several major measures to deal with the new regulations:

 

Get rid of heavy manufacturing and develop with technology

 

Introduce advanced foreign technology, strive to improve the quality management system and the self-inspection and self-control system for the export of toxic and hazardous substances on the floor. Carry out the third-party certification of floor products as soon as possible and obtain a qualified testing certificate from a qualified testing agency.

 

Wood must be provided in limited quantities

 

Attach importance to the inspection and testing of raw and auxiliary materials, strictly implement the qualified supplier evaluation procedures, choose "green suppliers", improve the traceability management system, pay special attention to the mandatory requirements of formaldehyde, heavy metals and other quality safety projects, and strictly follow the import country regulations Raw materials such as wood and wood products enhance the competitiveness of the international market.

 

Take the road of low carbon and environmental protection

 

Increasing the share of environmentally friendly low-carbon products as an important means of adjusting the structure of wood products export commodities. The future will be the time for wood products and environmentally friendly materials to become popular, research and development of safer and environmentally friendly adhesives, exploration and development of new products made of bamboo and wood, and the creation of new non-toxic and non-polluting raw materials will greatly help to develop product sales and enhance exports stamina.

 

Industry insiders pointed out that the relevant enterprises must take correct countermeasures. At the same time, the relevant government departments should strengthen the construction of linkage mechanisms to jointly promote and help enterprises successfully pass various certifications, and at the same time consider giving appropriate certification policies to certified enterprises. Relevant departments should give full play to their technical information advantages, carry out sustainable development and various certification knowledge training for wood products enterprises and their upstream organizations, enhance their ability to resist risk development, and increase their enthusiasm for various certifications.

 

The intensive introduction of international trade barriers has caused furniture exports to face many uncertainties and instability factors, and even led to a sharp decline in export volumes. However, on the other hand, some insiders believe that the stringent foreign laws and regulations will also force Chinese companies to speed up The road to transformation.

 

In fact, some enterprises and industrial clusters have taken the lead in upgrading and transforming. In Guangdong, a large furniture exporting province, after Lecong, Dayong furniture industrial clusters and relevant government departments and scientific research institutions held transformation and upgrading cooperation contracts, "3 + 2" promoted the Longjiang Town furniture industry transformation and upgrading signing ceremony in Panyu, Guangzhou Held. Government departments, industry associations, and scientific research institutions will jointly promote the transformation and upgrading of the furniture industry in Longjiang Town. This indicates that the transformation and upgrading of the furniture industry is fully accelerating.

 

The frequent occurrence of foreign trade barrier policies is already an immutable export environment. Enterprises should do all they can to adapt to such an environment, enhance their international competitiveness, increase product added value, and increase the right to speak in exports.
