Armani And Other International Brands Involved In The "Clothing Poison" Textile Products Will List Dangerous Chemicals.
P, a chemical banned in Europe, has been produced and exported to countries with less stringent legal restrictions, such as China. < /p >
Last month, P, a foreign chemical company in Guangdong, applied to the Ministry of environmental protection to buy 10 thousand tons of nonylphenol. The figure was lowered to 9600 tons by the Ministry of environmental protection. If approved, 9600 tons of nonylphenol will be used in the Chinese market. < /p >
< p > nonylphenol is a kind of environmental hormone which is often detected in sewage of < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > textile > /a > sewage. After entering the environment, it will change the sexual development of some organisms. This endocrine disruptor is listed in banned chemicals in countries such as Europe and America. But China's more than 50 thousand textile factories need more nonylphenol, especially in the "a target=" _blank "href=" http://www.91se91.com/ "clothing" /a "cleaning and printing and dyeing process. Nonylphenol is a good helper in good quality and low price. < /p >
< p > in addition to imports, China produces 47 thousand tons of nonylphenol annually, according to the information of the Federation of petroleum and chemical industries of China. Although there is no evidence that the garments that are added to the above chemicals are harmful to human skin contact, nonylphenol is insoluble in water and can be accumulated in organisms. It is believed that once entering the body through the food chain, it will pose a threat to health. < /p >
< p > nonylphenol is being consumed by a large number of clothing brands. In 2012, a non-governmental organization Green Peace report on some brands showed that 63% of the samples contained nonylphenol. There are many brands such as ZARA and H&M. Besides, luxury brands are also not spared. According to the report, 56% of the samples tested by Armani contained nonylphenol. < /p >
< p > this is only one of the many dangerous chemicals detected in the products of the above international brand suppliers in China. < /p >
< p > from relevant departments, it is learned that the catalogue of dangerous chemicals for key environmental management is being drawn up by the State Administration of work safety supervision and administration. The Ministry of industry and commerce is also trying to change the original idea of establishing a standard according to the production system, and separately set out a standard system related to consumer safety. < /p >
< p > but so far, China does not have a list of specific hazardous chemicals that are required to be eliminated in the industrial sector. < /p >
< p > < strong > blacklist > /strong > /p >
Prior to the release of the survey report, Greenpeace aims to target the use of nonylphenol in textile industry in order to give enough impact to stakeholders. P < /p >
Zhang Miao, director of pollution prevention and control project (P), conducted a brand supply chain survey with various teams throughout the country to find out the actual situation of the supplier and investigate whether there was any record of illegal sewage disposal. After the target is clear, clothing is purchased and sent to the independent third party laboratory in Europe for testing. < /p >
< p > "2011 is mainly a sports brand, mainly in 2012," the project leader Zhang Miao and his colleagues each year to finalize a clothing category, and then according to the sales volume of about 20 brands, the more sales of the brand, the greater the amount of toxic and harmful chemicals on average, Zhang Miao hopes that these well-known brands can make a "poison" commitment, and strictly monitor their supply chain. < /p >
< p > Nike, Adidas, Lining and other sports brands were the objects of the first investigation report of Greenpeace in 2011. The test report was sent to enterprises by mail before the announcement. It was pointed out that the 15 well-known clothing brands surveyed in China had two environmental pollutants that could affect the endocrine system and affect reproductive system. In 2011, 7 of the 15 well-known clothing brands made "poison" commitments to the community. Among them, Lining is the only domestic brand to make a commitment to "poison". < /p >
When the investigation report of "P > to the brand enterprise is often encountered," the most difficult thing is to talk about enterprises that are unwilling to talk and have no intention at all. We have no other channels to push it to do this. "Zhang Miao said that in the two reports of the past two years, Zhejiang's private enterprises Metersbonwe was required to make a promise but did not respond. < /p >
< p > buying and using nonylphenol is not in violation of the existing Chinese laws. Enterprises believe that China is a developing country. The textile industry is hard to do now. The enterprise has just started. The government has not yet issued such a regulation. < /p >
< p > however, at the end of 2013, there will be a group of < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > brand clothing /a > enterprises receive mail from Greenpeace. Mail will be notified that the product has been detected and attached to the test report. As in previous years, Greenpeace will announce the findings of the survey in the past year. No one would like to receive the email sent by the NGO with a "radical" label. The way to publish the test report is really effective. So far, 17 brands have made a pledge to "detoxification". After the announcement of the green peace report, they posted a commitment on their respective official website to remove the use of toxic chemicals in the supply chain before 2020. {page_break} < /p >
< p > < /p >.
< p > < strong > white list > /strong > /p >
< p > Greenpeace's first investigation report has aroused the response of the Ministry of environmental protection. In 2011, the Ministry of environmental protection held a seminar on environmental risk prevention and control of environmental hormone chemicals, and put forward suggestions on how to establish and improve the long-term mechanism of chemical environmental management. At the end of 2012, after the second investigation reports came out, the Environmental Protection Bureau of Xiaoshan and Shaoxing of Zhejiang province organized local printing and dyeing enterprises to take part in the seminar on harmful chemicals substitution held by Greenpeace in March this year. < /p >
< p > but the scientific nature of the report and the position of Greenpeace have been questioned. Zhang Huailiang, honorary director of the China Textile Engineering Association, said: "their work is encouraging to us, but it can not decide what we do. We have some critical comments on some of our views, generally welcome, but not blindly." < /p >
The social supervision of < p > Greenpeace has indeed played a role. In August 28th this year, clothing brands including Nike, Adidas and Lining will also appear at the China Textile Industry Association Annual Conference on social responsibility. They will jointly announce measures for zero emissions of toxic chemicals. This time, the enterprises have found the China Textile Industry Association actively. In the view of vice president Sun Ruizhe, this has something to do with green and equal organizations' attacks on them. < /p >
< p > on the occasion of Greenpeace's attempt to "blacklist" report, the China Textile Industry Association has established a new "white list". At present, the association has established a "white list management system" with the Japanese Fiber Industry Alliance. Through the system application and obtaining the "white list qualification" enterprise, it will be admitted by the Japanese importers who joined the system. When its products are exported, there is no need to detect certain banned chemicals. < /p >
< p > the prohibition standards for these chemicals are formulated by the Japanese Fiber Industry Federation. All textiles exported to Japan are required to be tested according to the prescribed test methods and provide enterprise information. Enterprises that have joined the "white list management system" need not be tested again. < /p >
< p > but for nonylphenol chemicals, there is no corresponding "white list" management measures. The export of clothing products containing nonylphenol components has not been restricted too much. Although the Ministry of environmental protection and the General Administration of Customs will classify nonylphenol as a prohibited import and export substance in 2011, imports will be allowed as long as the import enterprises have applied for environmental management registration certificate and release notice to the Ministry of environmental protection through declaration, local pretrial, expert review, public notice and state approval. < /p >
< p > industry insiders say that domestic chemicals are being used to replace nonylphenol and less toxic chemicals in the textile industry, but so far no competitive alternatives are available, and nonylphenol is still the most competitive price. < /p >
< p > < strong > policy < /strong > < /p >.
At present, China has not yet issued a list of specific hazardous chemicals that are required to be eliminated in the industrial sector at P. "The central and local governments attach great importance to environmental protection, but there are regulatory issues, technical problems and money problems," an industry insider who asked not to be named. < /p >
< p > China's implementation of hazardous chemicals management is not fast. In fact, it was not until 2009 that the Ministry of environmental protection set up a chemical management office. In October 2012, the Ministry of environmental protection formally passed the "environmental management of hazardous chemicals (Trial)". This is China's first regulation on the registration and management of existing and environmentally hazardous chemicals. In early 2013, China issued the first environmental risk prevention and control plan for hazardous chemicals, namely, the "12th Five-Year plan" for environmental risk prevention and control of chemicals released by the Ministry of environmental protection. < /p >
< p > at present, the existing system of chemical environmental management in China mainly includes the registration of import and export of toxic chemicals and the registration of new chemical substances environmental management. However, there is a lack of regulations on the environmental management, release and spanfer control of hazardous chemicals, and management of key environmental risk sources, and lack of measures to restrict the production and use of chemicals that are highly toxic, difficult to degrade, and highly harmful to the environment. < /p >
< p > the Ministry of industry and commerce is trying to separate a standard system related to consumer safety. The catalogue of dangerous chemicals for key environmental management is also being drawn up by the State Administration of work safety. This is considered by the industry to be a key step for China to move towards the environmental management of chemicals system and eventually eliminate hazardous chemicals. < /p >
Last month, P, a foreign chemical company in Guangdong, applied to the Ministry of environmental protection to buy 10 thousand tons of nonylphenol.
