Jiaxing Leather To Import Blue Wet Cowhide Pformation

< p > an international brand counter in a shopping mall in Shanghai. A black leather coat is quietly displayed in the showcase priced at 38 thousand yuan.

Wang Changzhi (a pseudonym) recognized the raw material of "a href=" http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp "leather" /a at the first glance.

He told reporters: "I am not a big boast. Now the international brand leather goods sold in China, at least 30% of the raw materials are from my factory."

< /p >

< p > Wang Changzhi's factory is located in Jiaxing less than 80 kilometers away from Shanghai, China's most important "a target=" _blank "href=" http://www.91se91.com/ "leather" /a "processing base.

Most of the sheepskin material produced in Wang Changzhi's factory is provided to some European and American brand a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > clothing "/a" in China's production base.

However, in recent years, although the orders from European and American businessmen are not short, the environmental costs and labor costs are increasing, which compresses profit margins, which has caused him much trouble.

Walking into Wang Changzhi's factory, the rotten smell of animal fur is coming up. "Making skin processing is the most annoying thing."

One side of the warehouse is filled with raw sheepskin imported from Australia, which is basically the smell.

< /p >

< p > the so-called "raw hide" is the fur that is taken from the animal, to prevent decay, full of wet salt, but the subcutaneous fat and the hair of the epidermis have not yet been processed.

Jiaxing entry-exit inspection and quarantine bureau director Shen Qilin introduced.

The processing of raw leather is very complicated, and more than ten processes need to be applied to the semi finished leather. Chemicals are unavoidable and the main source of pollution in leather processing.

"Because the smell is bad, young workers are relatively hard to recruit."

For Wang Changzhi, such a production environment has long been used, but for young workers, it is different.

< /p >

< p > not only so, although the order has been delayed, but the smaller profit margins are pressing on Wang Changzhi.

"The factory has a total of more than 400 workers, wages are rising every year, and more importantly, the environmental cost of raw leather processing is getting higher and higher."

Wang Changzhi gave the reporter an account: the high grade sheepskin offered to the a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > /a > processing base is 32 yuan / ft, and a sheepskin is about 7 feet, and a finished leather coat uses up to 4.5 sheepskins at most.

"This will reduce the price of leather goods of 210 yuan a sheepskin and a few tens of thousands of yuan, which will not exceed 1000 yuan. Because of the cost increase in every aspect, the net profit of each skin is only 4 yuan to 5 yuan, and a fur coat earns 20 yuan at most."

< /p >

< p > in order to improve the factory efficiency, Jiaxing's < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/ > > leather processing > /a > enterprises have begun to pform into blue wet cowhide in recent years.

Zhejiang Xianglong Leather Co., Ltd., located in Gaoqiao Town, Tongxiang, has been importing wet blue (raw semi processed leather) after nearly two years.

"Although the cost of wet blue is even higher, compared with the increasing cost of sewage and labor costs, the process of leather processing has really improved."

Xianglong leather chairman Chen Xiangjiang told reporters.

Chen Xiangjiang said that at present, according to the size of the factory, the emission target is 1056 tons per day, which is far from the standard according to the original production mode.

< /p >

< p > "after using wet blue, at least 100 thousand tons of water is reduced, and 1000 tons of wastewater is discharged every day."

Chen Xiangjiang said, according to the current 10 yuan / ton of water treatment costs, this cost can not be underestimated.

The working environment of raw leather processing is bad. Every worker also needs to give an additional allowance of 80 yuan per day.

"The former production line workers who used to make raw skins are now arranged in the back process, which also increases the annual output."

Chen Xiangjiang disclosed that Xianglong leather sales last year was 700 million yuan, and this year it is expected to exceed 1 billion yuan.

< /p >

< p > it is understood that Jiaxing is one of the most important "a href=" http://www.91se91.com "leather manufacturing" /a sales bases in China. As a traditional leather processing industry, the processing of raw skins has existed for many years.

Shen Qilin said that the import of leather sheets in Jiaxing accounted for half of the province, so the pollution problem caused by such a large number of imported leather processing has always been a problem of Jiaxing inspection and quarantine personnel.

The development of local economy must not be done at the expense of the environment. Inspection and quarantine personnel are constantly groping for ways to make the best of both worlds.

"Therefore, for some large enterprises, we are gradually guiding them to import wet blue as far as possible, and block the main pollution links outside the country."
