How Does The Leather Industry Get Out Of The Doldrums?

　 At present, China's tannery industry is in a rather depressed state because of the rising labor costs, RMB appreciation, environmental protection policies and overcapacity, and the development of the downstream footwear industry. And how should our enterprises get out of this predicament?

  Excess capacity, go out, to replace generation blockage

Due to overcapacity, Henan has recently focused on eliminating backward production capacity. A survey shows that over a dozen industries in Henan have overcapacity, with a total value of more than 100 billion yuan. Leather industry is the pillar industry of Henan light industry. In the face of the policy elimination in 2011, some leather enterprises have reached the limit of life and death.

Excess capacity, where to go? The relevant people have expelled such a good prescription: "go out and replace the blockage for the upgrading of the industry." Kuroda Akiryo tanning Co., Ltd. is a successful example of going out.

In September 2007, Kuroda Akiryo and China Africa Development Fund decided to invest in the construction of China Ethiopia livestock products processing project - China Africa Ocean Limited. The total investment of the project is RMB 230 million yuan, 3 million pieces of processed sheep leather and 1 million pairs of leather gloves. This measure is deeply supported by the two governments. The government of Ethiopia has no tariff on imported equipment. Besides free exchange funds and foreign exchange earnings, it also enjoys preferential treatment of tariff free quotas from the United States, the European Union and China. It is also known as the "model of overseas gold rush" by the industry.

   Environmental protection and fashion, marriage with technology

With low carbon and environmental protection again becoming the focus of attention, tannery industry must develop itself and improve technology if it wants to develop. Jinxing Leather Co., Ltd. has developed from a bright pearl in the industry to just 6 years. It has joined the Research Institute of leather and footwear industry of China, set up the R & D center of science and technology, and has been identified as a provincial high and new technology enterprise.

Jinxing Leather industry Semi vegetable tanning is being vigorously promoted, and semi tanning is in line with the trend of environmental protection. Compared with pure cadmium free tannage, this product has good physical properties such as tear strength and high temperature resistance. Moreover, because of its moderate hardness and hardness, the product can make some patterns on the top, such as texture change and color addition. This is also more suitable for young people's demand for fashion products. For leather industry, the importance of technology and environmental protection is beyond doubt. The introduction of semi tanned vegetable shows the technological capability and awareness of environmental protection.
At the same time, since its establishment, Kam Hing has invested heavily in introducing advanced tannery equipment from Italy and Korea. With the assistance of the Institute, we will focus on the development of new products with high technology and high added value. Only technological innovation can enhance the overall scientific research capability of enterprises, thus breaking through the sky in the industry.

Environmental protection starts from production, and pollution is eliminated from the source.

In the past decades, tanning industry, like other industries, did have environmental pollution problems, ranking the third in light industry. In the history of leather making, the working environment was once messy and the workshop smelly, but this phenomenon has been gradually changed in the modernization process of leather making industry. The tanneries with investment in the tens of millions of yuan and tannery enterprises that have entered the modern management procedures have basically not smelly or smelly.

It is generally believed that pollution in leather industry is difficult to govern. But in essence, tanning industry is not necessarily related to pollution. Raw skins are not polluted and poisoned. Their pollution comes from two aspects. One is the use of polluting chemical materials, the other is the removal of non tannery substances in the processing of leather into the waste water. In order to adapt to the development trend of the world and better development of enterprises, the two sources of pollution can be avoided in the initial process of production process. This is the so-called clean leather making process. At present, the research on Cleaner leather making technology in China has matured, and many researchers have transformed it from laboratory to mass production. With regard to the treatment of tannery wastewater that has been produced, new technologies and equipment are emerging in an endless stream, each has its own advantages. Its technology has matured, and reaching the national emission standards has long been the minimum requirement of most tanning enterprises.
