Green Development Has Become The Only Choice For China'S Leather Industry.

Reporters recently learned that in recent years, China's raw leather imports continued to grow.

Last year, China imported $1 billion 250 million of raw skins, an increase of 38% over the same period last year.

According to customs reports, in the first 5 months of this year, 28 thousand tons of raw leather were imported from Shanghai port.

The proportion of imported raw skins in processing trade is nearly 80%, which is 22 thousand tons, and the growth rate is 51%.

According to reports, the world leather industry began to shift to Asia, especially China, in the 80s of last century. Now China has become the world's leather power.

When the authority of the State Environmental Protection Administration talked about the future development of leather industry in China, it said that if the industrial structure was not adjusted immediately, if China did not implement leapfrog green development, China's leather industry would pay astronomical figures.

Cleaner production and environmental cost

Pan Yue, deputy director of the State Environmental Protection Administration, said that the main theme of the twenty-first Century economy was green ecological economy.

This is forced by the general trend of the world.

Whoever takes the green strategy ahead of time will be able to take the initiative in the future competition pattern.

When it comes to the surge in the import of raw leather, Pan Yue said that the developed countries began to pfer heavily polluting industries to our country. Although the projects introduced by us have made progress than before, in terms of resource utilization and environmental pollution, the gap has been widening and falling into a vicious circle of "introduction, backwardness, re introduction and further backwardness" compared with the rising international standards.

If we do not immediately adjust the industrial structure, if we do not implement leapfrog green development, China will pay astronomical figures.

He said that we are standing at the crossroads of history. Green development is the most urgent choice for Chinese leather enterprises.

Reporters learned that the waste water discharged by China's leather industry has reached 70 million tons per year.

A hundred yuan of raw leather is made into shoes. Lippi's profit is only ten yuan, and some domestic processing enterprises can get the processing cost of hand even less than 10 yuan.

Behind the meager profits is huge environmental costs.

An expert in the leather industry Specialized Committee of China Leather Association, who declined to be named, said in an interview with reporters that the processing industry of foreign leather was pferred to China, which has been pferred almost since the 80s of last century.

China's leather industry has not accepted this shift passively.

Over the past two years, the effect of leather pollution control has been very prominent, and many non-standard small factories have been closed down.

In 1992, the United Nations aid projects for pollution control also led to the treatment of leather pollution.

He said that in order to achieve leaping development of China's leather industry, we must actively carry out engineering research on clean leather making and realize clean production of leather industry as soon as possible.

According to reports, the focus of the leather industry in the world has been most famous in Europe and North America, especially in Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom.

In terms of tannery technology, foreign countries have unique features in the development of special machinery and equipment and their matching technology. The research on Cleaner leather technology started earlier and has many research results.

The expert told reporters that the leather association is actively striving to cancel the import tariff of wet blue skin in raw leather imports, because at present, about 70% of the pollution generated from raw leather imports is caused by wet skin.

Large quantities of wet blue will effectively curb the pollution of leather processing.

Structural adjustment of leather industry is imminent.

In the rising stage of the global leather industry, the arduous task of adjusting the industrial structure is also mentioned on the agenda of the leather industry.

Zhang Shuhua, executive vice president of the China Leather Industry Association, pointed out that China will usher in the "golden season" of leather industry in the 21st century. The most urgent problem before the leather industry in China is to pform the leather power to leather power as soon as possible, so as to make the quantity leading to quality and efficiency, so as to grasp this golden season.

Experts pointed out that if we want to pform from a big production country to a productive power, China's leather industry must make breakthroughs in processing quality and design originality.

Leather Association Specialized Committee experts told reporters that in terms of industrial restructuring, China's leather industry has also been a breakthrough.

At present, the tannery level of clothing and vamp is almost the same as that of the international level, and the upholstery leather and sofa leather are more and more valued by manufacturers because of their high technology content.

In addition to technological innovation, increasing the gold content of brands has also been put on the agenda.

Professor Chang Xinhua of Northwest Light Industry Institute pointed out that leather industry is a highly polluting industry. Whether China's leather industry can continue to develop in the new century depends on whether it can solve its production process and the final pollution problem.

Many enterprises, including leather enterprises, rely on cost saving to increase profits, which are very limited. What really brings huge profits is brand effect.

With a brand, you can go to the world, there is a market, and there is a rich profit.

With brand, no technology can buy technology, brand is not only propaganda, content is technical content, we should establish a big brand strategy.

Therefore, changing from "processing center" to "technology center" and "brand center" will become the top priority for China's leather industry.
