Exposure Of Printing And Dyeing Enterprises Has Exceeded The Standard Of Violation.

< p > the survey found that the water pollution situation is very severe in the < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > printing and dyeing industry < /a > high density Hangzhou Bay area, Taihu River Basin and some parts of the Pearl River Estuary and the Pearl River Delta region.

< /p >

< p > the latest survey by local environmental protection departments and many environmental organizations shows that a large number of printing and dyeing enterprises violate the new wastewater discharge standards, and there are a large number of violations of the standards, including Polo, Uniqlo, YOUNGOR and other brands.

< /p >

< p > < strong > centralized treatment causes centralized pollution < /strong > < /p >.

< p > December 4th, seven environmental organizations, such as environmental protection, green Jiangnan and so on, released the Textile Research Report in Beijing.

The report says, < /p >

< p > "China's printing and dyeing industry occupies a pivotal position in the global textile industry. A large number of printing and dyeing enterprises exceed the standard violation, while polluting the local environment, it also means that there is a major environmental violation risk in the supply chain of textile brands."

Ma Jun, director of the public environment research center, said.

< /p >

< p > China is the most important textile producing country in the world, and the textile industry is also an important part of our economy.

At present, the country has more than 50000 textile factories, and the textile and garment industry cluster is mainly concentrated in the economically developed coastal areas of the east coast.

< /p >

The printing and dyeing finishing links with the highest pollution emission intensity were mainly concentrated in parts of Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Fujian and Shandong, and the output of printing and dyeing cloth accounted for 91.37% of the country in 2010.

Zhejiang, Shaoxing, Xiaoshan, Jiangsu Wujiang, Changzhou and Fujian Shishi and other areas are particularly concentrated.

< /p >

< p > Shaoxing County of Zhejiang province is the largest industrial cluster base of textile production capacity in the country. The printing and dyeing output accounts for 1/3 of the whole country and has the largest textile market in Asia.

The 2 most concentrated textile industrial parks in Zhejiang Province, Shaoxing Binhai Industrial Zone and Linjiang Industrial Park in Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou, will eventually be discharged into Hangzhou Bay.

< /p >

< p > according to the bulletin of environmental quality of China's coastal waters in 2011, the water quality of the Gulf of Hangzhou is very poor in all 9 important Gulf, and all of them belong to the inferior four kinds of sea water.

< /p >

< p > the Taihu river basin includes Jiaxing, Huzhou and Shanghai of Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Zhenjiang and Zhejiang in Jiangsu.

Among them, Changshu, Wujiang, and Jiangyin, the administrative region of Wuxi under the administrative region of Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, were rated as the three largest bases of the textile and garment industry in Jiangsu province.

In addition, the textile industry in Jiaxing, Zhejiang province is also very developed.

< /p >

< p > but the pollution of rivers and lakes in Taihu basin is also quite common.

According to the 2011 Taihu River Basin and the southeast river water resources bulletin, the annual water quality compliance rate is only 14.2%.

< /p >

< p > printing and dyeing enterprises contribute greatly to water pollution.

< /p >

< p > "report" introduces that, because most of the enterprises discharging the NDA pipe carry out the III emission standards in the old standards, and the III grade emission standards are too loose, the centralized sewage treatment plants do not have the ability to carry out effective follow-up treatment, which results in centralized treatment and causes centralized pollution.

< /p >

< p > to achieve < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com > > printing and dyeing > /a > pollutant discharge reduction, China began to implement the discharge standard of pollutants for textile dyeing and finishing industry in January 1, 2013 (GB 4287-2012).

This standard has greatly tightened the emission limits of COD and aniline, and has set up the emission standards for pollutants such as TP, TN, AOX (adsorbable organic halogen) for the first time.

< /p >

< p > however, recent environmental organizations have found that new standards have not yet been fully implemented in many areas.

The report takes Zhejiang Province, which occupies half of the national printing and dyeing industry, as an example.

Statistics in the first half of this year showed that the number of printing and dyeing enterprises exceeded 400, accounting for more than 90% of the total number of enterprises in the province.

< /p >

< p > "the survey found that the suspected suppliers of Polo, Uniqlo, YOUNGOR and other brands all involved violations of the new emission standards."

Li Jie, senior project manager of the public environment research center, said, "its violation involves not only general indicators such as COD and chroma, but also some characteristic indicators such as aniline. It shows that the wastewater from related enterprises contains toxic and harmful ingredients."

< /p >

Besides, P is also responsible for the centralized treatment of Uniqlo, YOUNGOR and Calvin Klein wastewater treatment plants suspected of supplier's printing and dyeing wastewater, and also violates the new emission standards.

< /p >

< p > "considering the amazing discharge of WWTP, the excessive violation will not only cause damage to the environment, but also bring potential harm to the community and even the public health."

Li Jie said.

< /p >

< p > "we also found some printing and dyeing enterprises to dump the sludge at will."

Xu Qingshi, director of the environmental protection public service center of Chao Lu, said that with the drastically increased requirements for printing and dyeing wastewater treatment, the amount of printing and dyeing sludge may also increase significantly, but brand manufacturers are not concerned enough about the problem of printing and dyeing sludge disposal of suppliers.

< /p >

< p > < strong > cracking the dilemma of "reaching the target and still polluting" < /strong > /p >

< p > "no matter it is from < a href=" //www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_h.asp "> textile < /a > dyeing and finishing industry itself level of development, or from the treatment technology of dyeing and finishing wastewater, the improvement of wastewater discharge standards has certain feasibility.

Ma Jun told reporters that the textile industry is fully capable of increasing investment in pollution control and substantially reducing emissions.

< /p >

< p > previously, the responsible person of the Department of science and technology of the Ministry of environmental protection also said that every control limit in the new standard setting has corresponding mature and reliable control technology.

The pretreatment of textile dyeing and finishing wastewater and the subsequent advanced treatment on the basis of general biochemical treatment can meet the requirements of the newly revised standards.

< /p >

< p > however, the above environmental organizations also found that with the development and application of new materials and new auxiliaries in textile industry, the components of textile industry wastewater are becoming more and more complex, and processing is more difficult.

< /p >

< p > "report" introduces that the alkaline degradation products of PVA slurry, synthetic fibers, mainly organic compounds such as o-benzoic acid two, and new auxiliaries, enter the printing and dyeing wastewater in large quantities, resulting in a significant increase in the COD concentration of wastewater and the removal rate of COD from the biological treatment system from 50% to 50% or even lower.

The COD removal rate of traditional dyeing and flotation methods is only about 30%.

< /p >

< p > Ma Jun told reporters that since last year, the environmental protection organizations have taken the initiative to communicate with 49 printing and dyeing brand manufacturers. "A number of brand manufacturers such as Yida, Puma, H&M and Nike can take the initiative to identify pollution problems in the supply chain and urge some suppliers to make rectification."

Ma Jun said, but Polo, Uniqlo, YOUNGOR and other manufacturers in the face of environmental organizations questioned, is still a negative response, or even to avoid.

< /p >

< p > March 22, 2012, the green choice alliance jointly established by the above environmental protection organizations sent the first communication letter to YOUNGOR, and informed that the suspected supplier had exceeded the standard and exceeded the standard in the investigation.

No reply received < /p >.

< p > September 25, 2012, the green choice alliance sent second letters to YOUNGOR, and again informed that the suspected suppliers exceeded the standard in the investigation.

As of November 6, 2013, no reply was received.

< /p >

"P", "Brand Company, which is the main way of gaining profits from sales of garments and garments, has an inescapable responsibility for supervision and management of its supply chain's environmental legality, compliance and improvement of environmental governance performance."

Ma Jun said.

< /p >

< p > the report also points out that many local governments have not effectively implemented the new standards, and there are still deficiencies in information disclosure.

The two provinces in Jiangsu and Guangdong should set up a platform as soon as possible to promote the real-time disclosure of online monitoring data by printing and dyeing enterprises in order to facilitate social supervision. Meanwhile, environmental protection departments in various localities should ensure that the emission limits on line monitoring are consistent with the new standards.

< /p >

< p > for printing and dyeing enterprises, a large area of emission exceeds the standard. The report recommends that printing and dyeing enterprises should improve their processes, equipment and management as soon as possible, and discharge them first, so as to reduce the impact of their own emissions on the local water environment.

< /p >

< p > < < a href= > //www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp > brand > /a > may not respond to the challenge of environmental organizations, may not hear the voice of the local community, may not care about the media exposure, but they can not ignore the feelings of consumers.

Ma Jun told reporters that most of the textile brands involved in the survey had large consumer groups.

In this regard, environmental protection organizations call on consumers to make good use of their purchasing power and refuse to consume brand products that ignore the serious pollution of the supply chain.
