Clothing Drug-Related? The Quality Of Shoes Is Not Good?

Environmental protection organization Greenpeace recently released the investigation report frequently. Following a month ago, it released the report that Nike, Adidas, Lining In August 23rd, environmental protection organization Greenpeace released its latest survey report, saying that the products of Nike, ADI, Lining and other international and domestic famous brands contained "environmental hormones", which had an impact on the biological development of organisms.

On the same day, the Shanghai industrial and commercial bureau announced the quality monitoring results of leather shoes, casual shoes and tourist shoes sold to some department stores, supermarkets and franchised stores in Shanghai. 45 batches of goods were not qualified, many of which were trademarks of Nike, CONVERSE, XTEP, Puma and other famous brands. The inspection results of Shanghai industry and Commerce Bureau showed that the main problems of the commodities being monitored were unqualified peel strength and unqualified sensory quality.

The nominal production enterprise is Yu Cheng (Kunshan) Sporting Goods Co., Ltd. Nominal trademark A certain type of CONVERSE's shoes, such as the Nike sports company (China) Limited, the trademark Nike's running shoes, and so on, are all mentioned above.

In August 25th, in response to a statement issued by Nike testing group in Shanghai, it said that it had investigated the products in Shanghai and would take necessary action based on the findings.

Nike group said in a statement that it will continue to work closely with relevant government departments to ensure that all products sold in China are fully in line with Chinese regulations and standards. Nike will continue to strive to provide high quality products and quality shopping experience for consumers in China and around the world.

　 Clothing drug abuse 20 years ago, the EU banned

Green Peace contaminated Zhang Kai, director of the prevention and control project, introduced from April 2011 to May, Greenpeace purchased 78 samples of 15 clothing brands in China, the United Kingdom and Argentina. Greenpeace sent these samples to a qualified third party Laboratory for testing. The results showed that samples of 2/3, including Adidas and Lining, were detected to contain NPE. NPE is often used as a surfactant in textile production. It is rapidly decomposed into nonylphenol (NP) when discharged into the environment. NP is a recognized environmental hormone, which simulates estrogen, has an effect on the sexual development of organisms, and interferes with the endocrine of organisms, and is toxic to reproductive system.

Zhang Kai said in an interview with the media: "these well-known clothing brands at home and abroad, not only their suppliers in the production process to discharge harmful substances to the river, its products also contain such substances, although the material on clothing will not directly cause harm to the human body, but washing will also accumulate further with water into the river, threatening the environment and human health."

So Greenpeace appealed to Adidas and Lining to make a non-toxic commitment as soon as possible, and to formulate an action plan with a clear timetable.

　 However, the problem of being detected is collective silence chosen by enterprises.

According to the data, most of the producers of clothing with toxic and hazardous residues are in developing countries. The countries mentioned in China, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Thailand are developing countries. The European Union banned the use of NPE in production 20 years ago.

Xiong Xiaokun, a light industry researcher at CIC, told an interview with the Securities Daily: "first, the supplier itself lacks the environment. Because of the cost control, or the low cost of destroying the environment, the supplier is the root cause of the whole environmental pollution problem. Secondly, there are some defects in the domestic market, such as pollutant emission standards or installation standards of environmental protection equipment, which leads to many loopholes in the industry. Thirdly, due to the lack of industry regulation, the environmental pollution rate remains high. The problem of environmental pollution is the responsibility of polluters, and the reason for frequent environmental accidents is the lack of supervision of suppliers and the disregard of suppliers' environmental problems. At the same time, there is also a lack of social responsibility. {page_break}

Greenpeace released the report, hoping that consumers would have a clearer picture of the current situation and pressure consumers through manufacturers. According to the report, Greenpeace requires these brands to immediately disclose information about toxic and harmful substances to the public, and undertake to eliminate and exclude the use and discharge of toxic and harmful substances in their production chains.

　 Shoe detection is not in line with business performance hidden danger

The inspection results of Shanghai industry and Commerce Bureau showed that the main problems of the commodities being monitored were unqualified peel strength and unqualified sensory quality. Among them, peel strength is an important quality index of footwear products, and is also the quality problem that consumers complain most over the years. Peel strength refers to the adhesive fastness of upper and sole to check whether the customer is easy to glue after wearing. Monitoring found that the index failed to account for 58.7% of the total number of substandard products. The nominal production enterprise for Yu Cheng (Kunshan) Sporting Goods Co., Ltd., the trademark CONVERSE, a certain type of tourism shoes, nominal production enterprise Nike sports (China) Co., Ltd., trademark Nike Nike's running shoes and so on.

According to the national standard, the appearance of leather shoes should be smooth, uniform, stable, clean and symmetrical, and the inner bottom, upper and insole of leather shoes should meet the relevant requirements. Monitoring found that some of the unqualified goods, some of the obvious decolorization, easy to lead to color migration; some of the mouth is not tight, resulting in the overall appearance of the quality of the obvious sensory defects; some of the logo material and the nominal material seriously inconsistent, misleading consumption. For example, the sales of Shanghai Shanghai Lotus supermarket chain Co., Ltd. wunshui shop, which is called "nunton" brand, which is produced by the Shanghai Bata Shoe Industry Co., Ltd., is called "leather". It is measured as synthetic leather, and the material quality of the fabric is not up to the standard.

Shanghai industry and Commerce Department reminded that better leather should have clear pattern (except leather), loose surface, soft texture and good elasticity. When consumers buy shoes, they can also put their shoes on the plane to check the smoothness; look at the front palms, not too near or too far behind; see if the front toe of shoes is suitable, otherwise they will not be comfortable when wearing them; see if the height of the corresponding heels is consistent, whether the angle of heel to waist is appropriate (that is, whether it can properly fit the arch of the foot), see whether there is no gap between the palm surface and the plane, whether it fits or not, see whether the heel is backward, and see whether the center of gravity is deviated from the palm.

Xiong Xiaokun, a light industry researcher at CIC, said in an interview with reporters: "this incident will undoubtedly have a negative impact on the brand image of these international enterprises. The cultivation of a brand needs time to accumulate and precipitate, but any slight flaws may lead to the decline of the brand. This negative effect will destroy the credibility of consumers to a certain extent, resulting in the loss of a large number of consumers, not only a very bad impact on the brand of enterprises, but also a hidden danger for the business performance of enterprises.
