New Sewage Regulations Will Enhance The Market Share Of Leather Leading Products.

< p > the Ministry of environmental protection issued the "discharge standard for pollutants in leather and fur processing industry" (GB30486-2013), which will be implemented in March 1st.

The standard stipulates clearly the emission limits, monitoring and environmental impact assessment, environmental protection facilities design of tanning and fur processing industry, and is considered to be the most stringent standard in history.

The threshold of new sewage standards will be greatly improved, and a large number of small enterprises with environmental protection will be eliminated.

In addition, the environmental protection of large enterprises can reach the emission limits, and the dominant position will be consolidated.

< p > environmental protection department responsible person pointed out that in 2009 < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > leather industry < /a > discharge wastewater of about 1.38 million tons, chemical oxygen demand (COD) about 30 thousand tons, ammonia nitrogen 7300 tons, total chromium (trivalent chromium) 6.72 tons.

The 2012 annual report on environmental statistics shows that the total chromium emissions of leather, fur, feathers and their products and footwear industry are about 74 tons, accounting for second of all industries, accounting for 39.2%.

< /p >

< p > although the leather industry is polluted seriously, there has been no special discharge standard in our country before.

For example, the current wastewater discharge in leather industry is implemented according to the comprehensive wastewater discharge standard (GB8978-1996). Because the comprehensive sewage discharge standard does not fully consider the characteristics of the leather industry, the emission standards are relaxed, the entry threshold is low, and the pertinence is not strong, which is obviously not conducive to the pollution control and management of the leather industry.

< /p >

< p > the "standard" fully considers the characteristics of leather industry and defines the limits of pollutant discharge.

The standard stipulated the direct and indirect emission limits according to the technical level of water pollutants treatment in the industry. For some key areas, the special limit of water pollutants with higher discharge requirements was specified.

Taking existing enterprises as an example, the direct emission limit of ammonia nitrogen in leather making enterprises is 35 mg / liter, while the direct emission limit of ammonia nitrogen in fur processing enterprises is 25 mg / litre.

For indirect emission enterprises, the emission requirements of most pollutants indicators (such as COD, BOD5, ammonia nitrogen, etc.) are tightened.

< /p >

< p > overall, the discharge requirements of most of the new standards are raised, so the volume of pollutants discharged from the industry will be reduced after the implementation of the standards.

According to the Ministry of environmental protection, the total emissions of COD and ammonia will be reduced to 11800 tons and 2380 tons respectively, 57.2% and 67.4% less than that in 2010.

The new standard has improved the entry threshold for industries. The implementation of the new standard will speed up the elimination of backward production capacity, and promote a group of backward production equipment, < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > /a Technology > low level, inadequate environmental pollution control facilities, small and weak enterprises to withdraw from the market, so that resources can be gathered to the dominant enterprises, so as to accelerate the pformation and upgrading of the industry.

< /p >

< p > > a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > China Leather Association < /a > 2010, the "12th Five-Year" development plan of China leather industry, the main goal is to pform China from a big leather country to a leather power country.

At present, China's leather industry has entered the period of industrial upgrading. Through technological innovation, improving the added value of products and developing green ecological leather are the future development trends.

In the face of tighter environmental protection, market share of industry leading enterprises is expected to further improve.
