Seminar On Footwear Environmental Labeling And Low Carbon Economy Held In Fujian Province

June 14th, June 10th, Fujian

In recent years, China's footwear exporters are facing more and more pressure and export risks as the European Union and the United States continue to change and update the import footwear related environmental laws and regulations, making Chinese footwear products

As an important traditional export commodity of Fujian Province, the export footwear of our province occupies nearly 30% of the total export volume of China, and has formed several cluster producing areas of footwear. Among them, Jinjiang mainly produces sports shoes, and the market positioning takes account of both internal and external sales. Putian mainly produces sports shoes, tourist shoes and export products; Fuzhou mainly produces sports shoes; some surrounding counties and counties mainly produce sandals and plastic shoes for export.

However, the footwear industry in our province is dominated by processing trade and OEM. In the face of international market competition and technical trade barriers, as well as the increase of domestic raw materials, labor costs and the change of RMB exchange rate, if shoe companies still survive in traditional low-cost and low price market, they will not be truly their own brands, and will gradually be eliminated by the international market. Therefore, through pformation and upgrading, establishing independent brands and enhancing product competitiveness and added value will be the long-term development of shoe enterprises.

At the same time, as global warming, sea level rise, extreme climate anomalies and environmental awareness in the world, countries' pressure on greenhouse gas emissions has been increasing. New terms such as "carbon emissions" have been exposed frequently. Environmental concerns have begun to view carbon emission reduction as one of the important options for sustainable development of enterprises. At the same time, government and international buyers' demands and their own interests and other factors have pushed up the demand for carbon inspection. The implementation of greenhouse gas management system certification will help enterprises effectively respond to the needs of all parties, reduce costs, build up image and seize the opportunities of the market.

The provincial footwear industry export base chamber of Commerce, the national footwear inspection center joint TUV South Deutsche group, such a world-renowned third party certification body, customized footwear regulations for Europe and the United States footwear labels, through the TUV South Deutsche group, a series of compliance international standard testing and Factory review, shoes enterprises will get this environmental label, so as to obtain international buyers and consumers trust, and win good brand reputation. At the same time, organizers said the three party cooperation of this symposium pays more attention to the organic unity of situation and content, cooperation and service, and will provide support for shoes enterprises to obtain the label and greenhouse gas management system certification, so as to truly escort the export of footwear industry in Fujian.

Footwear environmental label is the first exclusive label specifically for footwear.

The products need to be tested through a comprehensive test, including the European Union (REAch) and the United States regulations. The list of the major retailers in the world must be tested by the restricted material list and the internal color fastness test, and after the factory inspection, the shoe companies will be able to get the label.

After obtaining the authorization of TUVSUD, shoe enterprises can use the tag in the form of finished shoes, so the safety and performance of their products will be directly reflected to the buyers and consumers abroad, and at the same time, it will help the shoe enterprises expand the scope of production and sales, reduce the cost of developing the market, maintain the brand image and occupy the market competition in the long run.

ISO14064 is an international standard for greenhouse gas emission reduction. It can be divided into three parts: ISO14064-1 organized greenhouse gas inventory, ISO14064-2 expert greenhouse gas reduction guidelines and ISO14064-3 greenhouse gas verification and validation guidelines.

Its contents include the implementation of greenhouse gas inventory, planning and development, calculation methods and certification criteria.

The implementation of this certification will help enterprises to strengthen the management of carbon assets and emission risks, reduce the green trade barriers of non-tariff barriers, and enhance brand competitiveness and trade competitiveness.
