Shengze Coating Printing And Other Finishing Enterprises Will Immediately Stop Production Inspection Immediately.

In August 13th, the circle of friends suddenly came out: because of the ozone concentration exceeding the standard in Suzhou, the news of all the enterprises after compound, printing, bronzing, coating and so on were all shut down, and it was confirmed by many people in the industry.

In fact, this shutdown is both unexpected and reasonable.

It is understood that the shutdown is related to environmental problems. According to the relevant inspection department of Jiangsu Province, due to the ozone concentration exceeding the standard in Suzhou, emergency management and control of ozone pollution will occur. The enterprises will be temporarily discontinued for inspection, and the recovery time will be announced again.

According to the monitoring and prediction, the weather condition is favorable for ozone generation in the middle of August. The control of ozone concentration is the key and difficult problem of air pollution control in Suzhou (since 2017, the ozone exceeding standard rate in Suzhou has exceeded PM2.5). At the present stage, with the VOC as the leading factor, nitrogen oxides as auxiliary emission reduction measures will be very helpful to control ozone concentration.

It is understood that Suzhou will speed up the implementation of the "blue sky" blue sky to defend the four action, the system to promote the comprehensive treatment of volatile organic compounds, accelerate the 337 key sectors of the year to control volatile organic compounds. This year, summer and autumn ozone management and control measures will be implemented to strengthen the emission control of VOCs in key industries such as chemical industry, electronics, industrial painting, packaging and printing. Special enforcement of ozone pollution will be carried out. By the end of September, six major law enforcement inspection actions of industrial enterprises, oil and gas, automobile repair industry, construction industry, mobile sources and lampblack should be carried out before focusing on volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides in ozone precursors.

At the beginning of this year, a notice on "textile finishing and pulp consolidation and environmental remediation actions" was launched in Shengze town of Wujiang district. From the notice, we can see that the production enterprises engaged in rotary screen printing, flat screen printing, transfer printing, digital printing, digital transfer printing, composite printing, film stamping, stamping, shaping, flocking and so on will be regulated.

Sure enough, in July 19th, the comprehensive law enforcement bureau of Shengze town co ordinates the establishment of 12 joint inspection teams, a total of about 70 people. It collates and enforces all round nets, flat screen printing and other polluting enterprises. The campaign BANNED 21 companies altogether.

Printing, as an indispensable finishing process for textile industry, occupies a place in the Shengze market. The number of printing enterprises in Shengze is huge. So what is the impact of this regulation on printing enterprises?

How large is the volume of printing enterprises in Shengze?

According to the survey, the total number of digital printing enterprises in Shengze is around 300, with a total of about 1000 digital printing machines. Digital printing as a green, environmentally friendly, low pollution, low energy consumption green industry and digital printing without plate making, short delivery time, conform to the current market trend of seeking new and fast, so digital printing has been very popular.

"Generally speaking, the cost of digital printing will be much higher and the price will be more expensive than water printing, which is about 1-2 yuan," according to a trader.

However, the low industry access threshold has reduced the overall profit of the industry. Over the past few years, because of the increasing number of digital printing enterprises and the increasingly fierce competition, enterprises have also indicated that profits have been gradually reduced, especially for manufacturers of pure processing.

Impact of regulation: late cost input increased

At present, the textile industry has become the "hardest hit area" of environmental protection. As one part of the finishing process, printing is bound to increase the intensity and speed of environmental protection, otherwise it will end up being banned. This round net and flat screen printing rectification action once again give everyone a waking up.

This also means that printing enterprises will increase investment in late environmental protection, and the cost is high. Generally speaking, processing fees will also rise. However, due to the lack of market orders and lack of orders, there is no bottom up price at this time, so this part of the cost needs to be eaten by enterprises themselves. A printing company in Shengze has said: "our company mainly does transfer printing and digital printing. It has been in the off-season recently, and there is no list. Orders in the first half of this year are 5-6 million meters. This year's orders are declining compared with last year, and the order on hand can only be maintained until the beginning of August." The lack of orders in the textile links also led to the fact that orders after finishing were not satisfactory.

There are also many digital printing entrepreneurs who have just received a lot of orders, and the workshops are stacked up like hills. They are busy catching up with goods but they have met with the stop production inspection. It is really fatal! It seriously affects the customers' delivery time.

Editor's note:

Now the finishing enterprises are like textile enterprises, facing the situation that the stronger and the weaker are eliminated. Small factories will face great financial pressure and market competition will become more intense. At present, the most important thing for printing and finishing enterprises is to ensure that their enterprises meet the requirements of environmental protection. At the same time, they need to constantly innovate and expand their businesses in more fields.
